Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Google have revealed some important elements of their ranking algorithm and given advice on how to improve your sites positioning in natural search results. The unusual post was made on the French ‘Inside AdWords’ blog, which is strange considering AdWords listings have nothing to do with natural search. I’m sure posts like this will continue to raise speculation on the connection between paid and natural listings – but that’s another story. Lets look at Google’s ranking tips:
Google’s first tip covers site structure:
Google’s second tip concerns both incoming and outgoing links:
Google’s final and third tip concerns content creation:
So there you have it: Google’s insight to improve your ranking in natural search results. Again, I find it confusing this was posted on an AdWords blog, but I’m sure most webmasters will agree this type of advice is too valuable to pass up. If you’re site is lacking in any of the above areas, its time to start optimizing!

Good tips but probably nothing we didn't know already. IMHO, this tip is perhaps the most useful:
>>Use Google Webmaster Tools. These are a free set of tools that are easy to use and can give you information on who links to your site and which queries people are using to find your web pages.

Apart from where the post might have appeared, it is in my humble opinion that most of what is listed here has been the foundation towards having pages ‘optimised’ for natural organic listings for some time. When a site is new with an infant domain, people will turn to Adwords in order to give the new site a fighting chance of getting the ’tills to ring’. The learning curve from working with the Adwords tools is also providing site owners with the necessary ‘organic fuel’ to optimise the areas of their page to achieve that objective.
I would agree that many MDs I have engaged with along with in-house website marketing managers, have not come across Google Webmaster tools or the importance surrounding the rules of inbound or outbound links. The real problem out there is we have thousands of website builders and graphic designers, but a limited number of people with the online marketing skill set necessary to deliver websites that not only need traffic but must achieve ‘page conversion’. Even the poor old marketing graduate qualifying today is not coming into this industry with sufficient enough knowledge to hold down the role of being an online internet marketing champion. Our company and our brothers around the globe such as INEEDHITS, are only now coming into their own, because it is only now people are realising there is more to having a website than just throwing pages up onto the internet. And whilst there are website builders hung up on being ‘overly creative’ with their design, take a look at Google, take a look at other top sites, such as Amazon, the big supermarkets and others and look at how search engine friendly they are and pay close attention to product level pages and how they are laid out to achieve visitor conversion. Hey a long post, but ICT Advisor.com just want to see more than just website mechanics, bring on the SEM marketer in you.

Isn’t this what we have all been doing for years? I didn’t learn anything that doesn’t appear to be common sense!

Thanks for the tips. Good to remind me the core of SEO tasks

This is basically the same information and advice they have promoted. Their toolsets are easy and free to use and likely to help optimize your pages for their crawler, the primary search tool. That’s just reality.

Actually, a lot of this was useful to me, I’m fairly new to the whole website thing!

It is reassuring to know that Google is advocating common sense methods that we are all using.
