Happy Weddings in Cape Town on Google

Monitoring our SEO results on a regular basis is an ongoing process – also in 2012. We are determined to give our customers the very best service and help them achieve high rankings on Google Top 10. This is nothing we can nor should take for granted as algorhythms change and so many relatively volatile factors are involved, however, keeping an eye on the pulse and being flexible allows to firstly observe any major changes and then adapt accordingly and as fast as possible.

In this respect, I watched the results of  “Happy Weddings in Cape Town” on Google – this being a short and sweet article published yesterday on the relatively new website I created for Monkey Valley Resort HERE.

The result – and this within only 42 seconds – was absolutely astonishing: Position One on Google ahead of 2,560,000 search results! See the screenshot I took yesterday, below:

 

 

Happy Weddings in Cape Town on Google

This morning – basically a little less than a day later – I wondered how the ranking would look now – and here is the even more spectacular result: Positions 1, 2 and 3 on Google Top 10!

 

Cape Town Weddings

What does this mean in terms of Cape Town Weddings and Monkey Valley Resort?

It’s quite simple – yet demands highly qualified skills and the right WordPress based Semiomantics Script to be achieved: if you take the above screenshot as an example, you see a typical Google page. There are Google Ads at the top (on a  yellow background), Google Ads to the right (continued to the next page indicating this is a highly sought-after keyword and gets lots of advertising) – and then you see basically 10 websites competing for the top 10 positions on Google (this is page one of Google with a total of 2,560,000 search returns… with always 10 websites per page… do your own maths as to how many Google pages on this keyword combination alone there are…!)

It means that the 10 websites who made it to Google Top 10 are visible for anyone punching in “Happy Weddings in Cape Town” – perhaps because that’s what they want to go for while planning for their own wedding… – and of course these 10 websites are the one’s these people will click on! Logical – who goes any further if what they are looking for is on the first page?

It means that these 10 websites who made it to the top get all the attention… the clicks… the so-called traffic! It means that the potential of making a sale is divided amongst those 10!

Of course, there are all these Google Ads – meaning the owners of those websites pay heavily – 24/7/365 – to be visible on Page one on Google and get attention as well! It means that heavy Google Ads budgets are allocated each and every month – short-term, medium-term and long-term… and forever rising. A budget of $50 a day brings you nowhere given the price a click can cost these days! So do your maths again… and decide what makes more sense: investing in the right website (yes, there are updates and upgrades as the Internet changes all the time, that’s just as it is…) or be dependent on heavy advertising without a guarantee to get it right (keywords move like mercury…)

Google Top 10

The choice is – as always your’s! Nothing stops you from doing both: getting the right website and advertising with AdSense. But if you’re on a tight budget the answer is pretty clear – yes?

What is needed, however, is regular posting, meaning writing good content on a daily basis to keep things moving and alive. The Google spyders like to be stimulated and fed with new original material each day… and you may be in right competition on special keywords – like in this wedding example. In this case you either do it yourself, or you employ someone who takes on this important online marketing and publishing job – or you outsource to a professional who may be the best guarantee for continued success on Google.

Being visible on Google Top 10 – like you see above… meaning 3 positions of 10 on page one, means that you get 30% of the traffic! Meaning a large chance to get visitors to your website… and if your website is attractive and offers the answers and sales pipeline people are looking for, your online business will grow and bring you the desired success.

I hope I could explain this well and simple enough to respond to many questions received on the topic. It ain’t easy… I know! But being number one on a Formula One track ain’t either… and this is not much different, really!

If things aren’t clear yet, let me know…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cape Town Christmas on Google

Loyal to our regular monitoring of the SEO performance of our WordPress based Semiomantics websites and blogs – our own as well as those of our valued customers – , I am extremely pleased to see an excellent Google ranking of my article “Cape Town Christmas Gift Fair 2011″ right on the brand-new Monkey Valley Resort Website! The website was basically released today!

 

Click on the screenshot to see it bigger…

 

Cape Town Christmas on Google

You will see that “Cape Town Gift Fair 2011″ ranks on positions 4, 5 and 6 on Google Top 10 – the place everybody interested in that keyword area is competing for… here on 2,300,000 search returns!

Save Money with a Semiomantics Website

How does this demonstrate how you can save money with a Semiomantics Website?

Well, the fight on the Internet highway is for a Google Top 10 position – either on the left side (see screenshot above), where there are 10 positions for super sexy websites and blogs that make it to the top – or on top (yellow area) and to the right where people spend continuously increasing daily budgets for Google Ads… simply to be visible when someone types this keyword string into the Google search engine.

Marketing with Google Adsense means being dependent short-term, medium-term and long-term as prices increase all the time… and to be efficient – meaning to get the traffic and visitors that might lead to eventual sales – one has to be visible 24/7/365… and that has its price. Don’t think you can get away with $50… there are keywords that cost more than that per single click. And this without any guarantees in terms of sales. Ever.

Whereas with a Semiomantics Website you invest once in a good Script, setup and Design… and you see top performance. Sure, you need to do your bit and publish regular good content… but that’s part of your online marketing anyway if you are selling anything – be it a product, a service or ad space – but at least here you can count on results…

So do your maths and contact us anytime when you are ready to do a Semiomantics online – on Google Top 10 that is!

 

 

KIVA South Africa on Google

While understanding and integrating Social Networks into our Internet Marketing strategy is essential in today’s online environment, the fact remains that Google still holds the reigns quite tightly when it comes to capturing the main traffic – meaning when people look for something specific on the net, punching in a keyword string – eg. ‘KIVA South Africa’ – be it for research, mere interest or to buy, with the credit card between their teeth :)

 

KIVA South Africa on Google

Designing exclusively on our own sophisticated WordPress based Semiomantics Scripts includes regular monitoring of our results, meaning the visibility and performance of our articles and posts – yes even mere images – on Google Top 10.

Two days ago I wrote a little post about my new venture into a Social Network with a twist that makes sense in that it supports less advantaged people in poor countries (well… not only…) to build and sustain their business by means of loans, especially when times are tough or an accident or natural desaster has brought them to the verge of collapse. The name is KIVA and you are welcome to find out more by clicking on the link here.

However, my main issue here is: How did my article on KIVA South Africa perform on Google?

Well, a picture – or in this case a quick screenshot – talks more than many words.  It did exactly one shot with no help in terms of relating domain names … I had just started this whole journey – and what you see is that even today, 2 days later, my article is still on position 6 on Google Top 10 ahead of 939,000 search returns! Not a big number in Semiomantics terms, but just another proof in terms of efficiency and reliability:

A Week-end Packed with Highlights

Vouliagmeni, March 30, 2009 — by Yorgo Nestoridis

Dear Friends,

what have 20 Ycademy Seminar participants achieved, spending their time online with us this past week-end?

From the reactions I got so far, the Seminar has not just been an eye opener, but a huge workshop where participants have built some of the nicest websites I have evercome across on the bases of the new YORGOO Press script developed by Semiomantics. Online Publishing and Editing is as important as traffic. Traffic remains the primary raw material for any success online; but what good is traffic, if your visitor’s eye-balls are not glued to the screen to find out what you have to say, to surf your site and to interact with you by leaving comments?

Facebook is good for Facebook

Sure you can do it all on Facebook or other Social Networks which are brilliant technical formulas and environments to meet people. But in the end of the day, you are producing content to enrich Facebook and to allow Facebook to draw profit from YOUR work by selling advertising slots to THEIR advertisers. Then these ads are associated with YOUR content and Facebook makes the cash! A great idea: you work, they cash in.

YORGOO Press is good for you

In sharp contrast to Facebook we have built YORGOO Press for people who are conscious of the value of their own creativity, work and respectability. YORGOO Press does not replace Facebook but it provides you with a web site where you remain in control of your content, images, identity and advertising money. YORGOO Press is a web site with a news paper look, as site with all the most advanced features from Semiomantics with the exceptional power to build high visibility on Google.

YORGOO Press is a web site where you preserve all the flexibility to expose and to promote the best of you. YORGOO Press is a personal site to which you can send your contacts, your friends from Facebook to receive them on YOUR Web space to build a loyal readership, to develop discussion about topics of common interest and this under your control profiting YOUR Image, YOUR Google ranking, YOUR Valet and finally your self-esteem.

This week I will present you some of the sites which have been set up during the seminar, showing you how future oriented Home Business Builders are developing their business using YORGOO Press.

Look forward to a great week and make it a smooth surf!

Together we are unbeatable.

Yorgo

Branding your Printed Matters

Using Microsoft Office, it is a relatively easy task to brand your printed matters. The most recent Ycademy Seminar dealt with the various features provided by Office 2010 and this weeks calls will apply the branding concepts further.

Business Card Design

Starting from a template in Microsoft Publisher 2010, we can adapt the templates to the style and design of our websites.

Polo Sneakers at Global

Polo shirts by Ralph Lauren will forever be in style for those looking to dress with a more causal vibe compared to the streetwear style today. If your one of the many who rocks Polos on the regular check out the new Latton by Polo Ralph Lauren. The Latton models we feature here have an all canvas upper and a skid resistant rubber sole. The Polo logo is stitched onto the side of the upper while on the back of the heel theres a rubber Polo stamp. These Kicks are the perfect shoes to go along with the whole causal vibe when your just trying to kick back and relax this coming Spring/Summer. Polo did the Canvas Latton up in a few colorways as well, which use single color uppers accented by a secondary color on the Polo logo, making sure theres a color scheme or two to match up with your Polos.

Visit your Global in London to check on availability or scoop up a pair up at Westside Ealing where they retail for £70.00 a piece. More colourways in store.
