Cart Abandoment: Why It Happens? How To Recover Your Lost Opportunity?

Getting a lot of traffic for your website is awesome! It all happens due to your efforts to get good content, great products to sell on your website, Huge amount of back links, very good internal linking and site navigation and a lot of other things. When we get a lot of traffic through various sources on our website that means people are loving your website, your products and services. 
But we always want more as we are human beings and we are never satisfied with what we are getting. we can always do a little effort to get more sales and leads. Especially for an e commerce website, we always want to get more orders. There are a lot of instances where many e commerce websites do get a lot of cart abandonments. We can reduce the cart abandonment ratio to increase the sales from our website and get a lot more revenue generation for our website. An independent web research company claims thats 67.75% of the total shopping cart are abandoned. That means that 7 out of every 10th visitor is leaving the cart on an average. Few reasons why someone can abandon the cart are:
1. Price too high(above the expectation) 
2. Didn't liked the product 
3. Free shipping not available
4. It was the first visit of the customer. As almost more than 90% people will not like to buy the product in their first visit.
5. Another website offering the same product at a lower price
6. Process taking too much time
7. Security concern while doing payment
8. Price presented in some other currency
9. Website crashing
10. Too many steps before final checkout

Few things that we can do to reduce the cart abandonment ratio are:
1. Offer some discount to the customer
2. Offer some loyalty program to cart abandoner
3. Use re-targeting for those who have left the cart
4. Use call tracking to track orders over phone or through sales support. 
5. Email about the cart abandonment to the customer and remind him about the purchase they left with some offer specially for them

Cart abandonment is not just the end of opportunity for you, it is a great start for you to re-engage the customer back to your website for some more value added sales. Use your re-targeting tricks efficiently to get more out of your e commerce campaign.

Penguin 2.1: How To Do SEO-Off Page For Website Now

Develop some really good, informative and original content for your website, and rule the WEB! 

My website is hit by penguin 2.1, I have lost my traffic, my keywords were ranking on the first page of Google but now they are ranking on 3rd or the 4th page or even beyond. How to build links for my website now? These are some most common thing you got to hear these days ever since Penguin 2.1 was introduced. Here is my next post on this.

So by now, we all know what is Penguin 2.1 update, what is its impact on websites, which websites are hit by this deadly algorithm. We now know the reason for the drop or fall in the ranking or traffic of most of the website. I have personally observed that all my friends except a few lucky ones are crying with this hit. But Matt Cutts, Google's head of search spam, said it impacted about 1% of search queries. (I wonder how 1% search queries can hit almost every business website around me, except a few whereas the earlier Penguin 2.0 was said to have affected 2.3% search queries, but the impact was quite low in my surrounding.)

But now lets get into discussing something serious. Lets discuss about what to do now after this hit. How to rank website back on Google? How to regain the traffic again? I am discussing these things based on my past experiences in fighting similar hits. Lets discuss some of the best practices in SEO , I will mark things to do now point wise.


  • Get a website ready which provides rich content, easy navigation, highly engaging UI, keeping in mind various SEO friendly HTML factors.
  • Ofcourse the first step will be to get rid of the low quality backlink profiles. Do whatever you can do including disavowing Unnatural links which you are unavailable to remove maually through contacting their Webmaster.
  • Forget Link Exchange, specially PAID
  • Forget Directory Submissions, despite the high PR of the website. Just include your website into dMoz directory and Yahoo Directory.
  • Forget Social Bookmarking now, just Stumble, Reddit, Delicious etc. (Mostly the sharing options you find in the most popular sharing widgets.)
  • Do not Focus on Article submission. Even if you are not willing to do a little bit of article submissions, just use a well written, informative article discussing some of your achievements and your product specialties and specialties of your services. Submit this article on any one of the article directories for e.g. EzineArticles.
  • Focus more on getting more and more Social signals through Google Plus(G+), Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest etc. Get more likes, sharing, comments, get involved in the discussions going on your Social Page. The more likes, sharing, and comments you are getting, more is the natural back-links that you are getting, which is Google's new LOVE.  
  • Use popular Web 2.0 websites like the Tumbler, WordPress etc. to share your content and build content channels for your website without spending extra penny on creating websites for publishing your valuable content.
  • Find some big blogs which allow guest blogging opportunities. Ask them, if you can publish some great content and informative stories/articles, if it meets their Guest Blogging requirements. Do not add anchor text rich links embedded into your post. Just use your brand name to introduce your business. If your content is good, you will be getting natural links automatically. If you can create a BUZZ around your content, all your hard work and efforts in writing such wonderful and great content is rewarded. Make sure your content is in the right context.
  • Do not allow dofollow links on the footer of your website, nofollow them immediately.
  • Do not link your website anywhere unnecessarily, until you have a logic and you can relate it will the content. 
  • Make some great engaging videos to visually represent and describe your business, your products and services. This is a great source to bring huge traffic to your website.
  • Keep practicing the white hat on-page seo techniques that we already know. Do not ignore a single thing to stand apart from all these hits.
  • Get Google authorship for your content.
  • Start using long keywords for your website. Long tail SEO is the new in thing after HUmmingbird Algorithm. Long tail Keywords is also showing signs of improved conversion ratio over the one-two word keywords. 
In short, let people link you rather than you running for links. Everything which will be natural is going to survive. Do not try to cheat the current algorithm, because another update to eat the cheats done to beat this current update must be into the pipeline and can be launched sooner.

Talking About The Latest Buzzwords In Running A SEO Campaign


For quite some time now, I was away from my blog. Away in the sense that I was not getting ample time to write something here. Nowadays, I have bigger responsibilities at my work place. Working as a Team Leader. Yeah, feels good… But at the same time you while you have the charge to lead a SEO campaign of your client, you are always under pressure of achieving good results. You are expected to do every possible thing so that the campaigns do well. And till now, I think I am doing well if not the best.

I will just talk about something that is really very important these days according to me…( LOL I am not a Matt Cutts whom you will prefer listening to).

I have felt that nowadays, SEO job has become trickier. I still remember the days when I started my career as a SEO in Jan, 2008. At that time I hardly used to do any other thing except the Directory Submissions, Social Bookmarking, Article Submission, Forum Posting etc. But gradually Google made the search algorithm more and more complex making people carve for new ways to achieve the best visibility on search engines. Yes you got my point here. I am talking about the role of Social Media. Social sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Digg, Delicious, and Stumble Upon, My Space are a few big names to count from the Social Media arena. These Social sites have revolutionized the whole search Engine process. Now a day’s you can’t ignore the role of Social Media sites while running a SEO campaign.

Facebook introduced a “LIKE” feature in it. It became the Buzz word in SEO. It started to affect the Bing search results. Then it also came up with the Fan Page concept. The Facebook PAGE with huge fan following is what people are looking for now a day. Some brands get fans just as they are well known to people everywhere e.g. Reebok, Nike, Coca Cola, and Pepsi. But a local brand trying to get more and more customer base also wants their fan following to advertise their brand. They are running their own Social media campaigns to get more fans, get more audiences for their products. The Facebook Page is also very important as the product get instant feedback from fans about the product so that the companies get to know about the want from the people (fans). Brands are running contests, discount offers so that more and more people can avail the facilities, services or products what they are offering.

Twitter also is the front runner in the role of creating social media awareness about brands. People are now aware of the fact that they have much choice while selecting a product or service they want to avail. So they always listen to other people who have experienced the particular services and products on social media. Twitter is a great place for this now. Tweets from people can make people change their mind about selecting any service or purchasing any product. The products and services which are the best gets Re-Tweets from other people who have already experienced it, making it a popular choice for others.

Likewise, Diggs, Stumble, Delicious can help you come on the front page of these websites if your update and share gets maximum votes. Coming on the home page in the news section of these big Social giants will derive huge traffic for your site and likewise the SEO campaign will also get a boost.

Lately, Google introduced the +1 in their huge collection of Google products. +1 is said to affect the Google search results directly. And for most of the people in the world Google is the only search engine they know and use for searching. People now want more and more +1s. But it will take some time to see the actual influence of +1. But the initial observation of mine says that it is affecting the search results. The more +1 you get for your website, the more Google will consider it a better website, thus will be getting an advantage in search engine visibility. Pages that have been tweeted, re-tweeted, and liked are seeing the greatest increases in search engine prominence, the same follows with +1. This shows the social authority that your page is having.

Despite of all these facts, I still believe that the better the content and information you provide for your visitors/customers, the better the search engine specially the Google, will consider you as a better resource for the its users. So doing all the latest SEO and SMO planning, get a well written content which is unique, gives the best information and meets your customers requirement. If you serve them well with quality, Google will pay you for it.

Why Having More Quality Backlinks For Your Site Is Very Important??


Why Having More Quality Backlinks For Your Site Is Very Important??


"Backlinks Play Important Part In Your Websites Traffic & Popularity On The Web"
As we know being a SEO Professional, that Link Building is a very integral part of our business. Link Building make a website's inlinks on to another site and it leads to referrals traffic from there. Over all it help in getting good PR (Page Rank) for our site. 
So lets discuss about some general link building trends, techniques and terms which take part in the overall process. 
1. Link Popularity
Link popularity is a measurement of all the links coming into your site (or backlinks), as well as a measure of the quality of those links. According to the major search engines, if your website is good it should be linked to other website of the same theme like your website. If you have no incoming links from another sites, Search Engines think your website is of little relevance. The more links you have, the more “votes” you have on how popular your site is. Thus, the act of link building can be likened to campaigning.
All search engines factor link popularity into their algorithms, but they calculate it differently. As a general rule, Google is more interested in the quality of the links, while Yahoo is more interested in the total number of links to your site.
2. PageRank
Google uses PageRank to determine the quality of a given site measured on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the highest. To see this number, you can install the Google Toolbar or use any of several browser add-ons. From Google’s point of view, having one link from a site that has a large PageRank counts more than many sites that have a lower rank. A page that Google has already rewarded with a decent PageRank (or PR for short) is sometimes called an authority page. Once you have a PR of 1, your site has some power. When your pages achieve a PR of 3, 4, or 5, you have “link juice” to pass on to other pages.
3. On-site SEO
The allocation of PageRank from one page to another within your site is sometimes called on-site SEO. An advanced form of the discipline is known as “PageRank siloing,” or “PageRank sculpting.” If you have a Web page with good PR, you can use that page to get other pages higher in the search engine rankings for specific keyword phrases.
NOTE -- We will discuss "PageRank siloing" & "Page Rank Sculpting" in a another post in detail. 
While off-site optimization plays a larger role in gaining natural organic traffic, you can still see between 20 and 30 percent boosts in rankings by properly optimizing your pages with on-page factors. 
4. Internal Linking Structure
Start with your title and header tags. The area to focus on is your internal linking structure. Basically, you want to link stronger pages to weaker pages of your site.
This concept of getting backlinks to a page internally is sometimes overshadowed by trying to acquire backlinks from external pages. Why not use the same concept and apply it to your internal linking structure and reap the rewards?
5. Nofollow Tag
Now, let’s say you have a shopping cart or link on your site that leads to a page that you don’t care to send link juice to. You can add a nofollow tag to the end of the link in your HTML code. This conserves your link authority and applies it to the links where you want to pass authority. A link using the nofollow tag looks like this: a no-followed link

How Much Time Yahoo Search Engine Takes To Crawl Your Wepages??


How much time yahoo search engine takes to crawl your wepages?


I have always noticed that Yahoo crawls less often to any web content than other Search Engines. Googles crawls faster. This makes Google more special for a website or blog. So the question is does Yahoo sets a time period for visiting a webpage. And what I found was that yes Yahoo Bot crawls a bit slower but it crawls regularly. 
A solution for this might be that you should bookmark your site on yahoo. 
But for some sites yahoo does better than Google and MSN. Some factors that may affect the crawl rate of your website are:
1. Server Response Time.
The better is the Server response time of your website the faster the crawlers will love to visit your site. Otherwise the crawlers will leave your page to make sure it is not overloading the server. 
2. Page Load Times
The faster your individual pages load, the more the crawlers can crawl your website pages. You can monitor the page load times of your website pages in Google Webmaster Tools. 
3. Your Content
If you have wonderful unique content in your website and you keep updating your site regularly then the crawlers will visit your website more frequently. 
4. URLs, Redirecting and Mising Pages
If you have issues related to URLs, Redirecting and Mising Pages then the crawlers will get stuck into it and will not love to crawl your pages unless you have sorted out those problem. You can see if there is any crawler issue with your site in Google Webmaster Tool. 
5. Bot Efficiency
You can adjust the crawl times of both Bing and Yahoo!'s bots by using a crawl-delay setting in your robots.txt file. Another good way of being able to tell if the other bots are indexing too slowly is by checking on Google's own crawl speed - it may be a good indicator as well.
Hope this information will also be helpful in letting you know why Yahoo crawler or other are slow in crawling your web pages. 

What Is KEI (Keyword Effetiveness Index)


What Is KEI (Keyword Effetiveness Index)


KEI is Keyword Effectiveness Index. KEI measures the number of searches for a keyword with the number of search results to point out which keywords are more effective and fruitful for your business. 
Suppose the number of searches for a keyword is 500 per month and Google displays 500,000 results for that keyword. Then the ratio between the popularity and competitiveness for that keyword is 500 divided by 500,000. In this case, the KEI 0.001. The higher is the KEI, the more popular your keywords are and less is the  competition. This gives you a fair chance for you to be on top with that keyword. 
However, the KEI makes no statement about the quality of the competition. While there might be only a few competitors in the search results, these competitors could be big players with big SEO teams and thousands of back links.
But do not panic if you don't have a better KEI. You can get on top with any keyword of your choice provided you put a lots of wise effort in your work. Yes wise Effort, mind it. Play with the search engines by following the basics of search engine techniques. And definitely you are gonna rock with your keywords in no time. 

Is Submitting Your Site To PR 0 Site Is A Waste Of Time?


Is Submitting Your Site To PR 0 Site Is A Waste Of Time?




There is one very disturbing question that is coming in my mind about Directory submission process - Is Submitting Your Site To PR 0 Site Is A Waste Of Time? As I have been submitting my site to various directories from a directory list since last one month or so. Many of these directories are having PR 0 with only a few having PR 1 and above.
One thing that I have noticed during this process is that Those sites having PR 1 and more take a lot of time in fact months to approve the listing. But those with no PR take mostly a week to approve the listing. So the question is is this a good thing submitting on them. Will they help me improve my ranking and increase traffic to my site. Will Google count thse links of my site on PR 0 Directories? 
Out of this query and researching on the Internet after a lots of pain I got a few answers - 
Some says do not worry on PRs of the Directories. The main thing is the that you should submit unique Title & Descriptions for each submission. If you are using same set if Title & Description in each submissions then Google may not like this as a case of duplicate Content. Google may count the hundreds of the listing of your site on those directories as only 4-5 backlinks to your site. And regarding the PR of the directories, you never know what will be the PR of those sites after a year or so. It may be that after a year you will see that those sites have become very popular and their PR is also increased.  At that time you will not feel like you have wasted your valuable time and effort in submitting to those PR 0 sites a year ago. 
And above all every new site has a PR 0 at the start. But gradually after time will pass they attain a good PR(Like when your site was also a new one with no PR when you started your site.)
There is also a very good valid result out of my research that - look for the sites already listed in the category you are going to submit your site or in other categories too. If there are good big websites listed there, then be sure that there is waste of your time and effort. 
One another thing is that do check whether the pages of the directory where you are looking for a backlink for your site are getting indexed by Search Engines, otherwise you are wasting your time. You can also ping the pages where you can see your link live. This will help you in indexing your site in Search Engine database.
Also check whether the directory you have selected for submission will list your site in the directory for a long time or not.
You can also go for Article Submission/ Article Marketing, Blog Commenting, Forum Discussion with your Signature and Link Exchange for quality backlinks for your site. Do not forget to submit your sites link to all the search engines.

3 Tips To Promote Your Article And Drive More Traffic To Your Website

3 Tips To Promote Your Article And Drive More Traffic To Your Website


Here is a quick list of three basic tips for getting high traffic for your website. This can be achieved through well written articles and submitting them to good article ditectories like - Ezines and Goarticles etc.
1. Write a meaningful and brief description
It is very important that you write meaningful and to the point description of your article. Usually I have noticed many article having description from the body part of the articles itself. This is not a very good practice indeed. Take some time to make a good description with the whole idea of your article in not more than 250 - 300 words. And also do not use same description for all the articles that you write, as it will creat duplicacy and will likely be disapproved.
2. Choose Your Keywords
Keywords are very important to find any content on the web. So is your article. So its very important to have good keywords in your articles so that you can be found by readers on search engines. But also dont forget not to keyword stuff your content. Think about your keywords by yourself what user will search to find your article.
3. Submit to social bookmarking sites
Submit your site to social bookmarking sites such as Twitter, Digg, Reddit, Yahoo! Buzz, Stumble Upon etc. With few minutes of work you can not only promote your article easily but also drive good amount of traffic on your website.
By applying above 3 simple tips you will achieve great results for the website you are concerned.
