Pear analytics

Pear Analytics is a full-service Internet marketing system designed for small to medium-sized businesses. We sell search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising packages with a variety of add-on services.
We win against our competitors by having a superior search engine optimization product that has proven to work successfully over the last 18 months since developing this new process.  There are two areas that truly separate us from our competitors:

1. We produce engaging, useful content for our customers, and post it to their website for them.  We know you’re busy and you hardly have the time to labor over your website in between meetings, and actually selling your own product or service.  Don’t settle for automated, spun copy that gets pasted all over the Internet, making your brand look bad.  Instead, let our team search nationwide for the best writer we can find who understands your industry.  They will learn your about your product and what sells it, so they can incorporate that into the writing.  Google says they reward websites who have useful, relevant and original copy, and penalize those who do not.

2.  We build value to your website, not a domain you don’t own.  We get it – you just spent a pretty penny getting your site redesigned, and the last thing you want to do is build another site off to the side for SEO purposes.  Instead, we work directly on your website, and improve whatever we can there.  And at the end of the day, you get to keep all of the content, linking and work done to your website – not a keyword-rich domain that you won’t own when you stop paying.

Tips to reduce AdWords campaign costs


Tips to reduce AdWords campaign costs

 

Cost Per Acquisitions (CPA) and Cost Per Clicks (CPC’s) are probably the most trickiest of the targets in PPC campaigns. Getting a low CPA requires lot of research and testing over time and the techniques differ from campaign to campaign, however, getting the basics right is the first step.
Let’s take a look at the tips you can employ to reduce the average CPA in any AdWords campaign.

1. Reduce the landing page load time

 

So, landing pages are the focus here. Making sure they are technically perfect is the most simple yet the important step you can take. Landing page load time is crucial as it directly affects your page’s quality score. Use tools like Pingdom or Google’s Page Speed Tool, to ensure that your landing pages are always super speedy.

2. Relevancy. Relevancy. Relevancy.

 

Content relevancy on your landing page should directly match the Ads and is directly proportional to your quality score. An Ad that has “Ladies’ shoes” in the title should be leading to a page related to ladies shoes, or else the quality score goes flat down. If there are many different content pieces on your websites, that are different in context, add different ad-groups that match up to the content. Diversification is the key.

3. Try A/B Testing or Multivariate testing and record the  best results

 

Google provides two excellent tools to help you figure out what people think is relevant on your website. A/B Testing and Multivariate Testing. Use the tools whenever you launch a new campaign and track the results. Sometimes the results can be completely different from what you might have thought, and often provides lot of insights about what works and what doesn’t in the campaigns.

Here is a great guide on how to use Google AdWords Website Optimiser.

4. Use Exact Keywords Match

 

One mistake lot of beginner’s make is to use broad match while estimating traffic, and going for the kill. In reality, their Ads would be showing up on a wide range of keywords, even the one’s that are not targeting the actual website. This will lead to depleting the budget for irrelevant keywords and reduce your quality score. So every time Google suggests those keywords, make sure they are exact searches.

5. Spread out your budget evenly over time

 

Most of us are right with this. As suggested, we spread out the budget evenly over time so that the ads are shown at all times, as opposed to showing more frequently at one particular period of time.
But this can also be the other way round. If you look into the “Dimensions” tab in your campaigns, you will be able to show the Ads based on particular time frames. Look at the previous history and see which time slots show the minimum conversion, and pause them off. You do not want to spend your money on low conversion time slots. This can significantly save a lot of money.

There are plenty of fine tuning you can do in your campaign settings to bring down your cost. The idea is to get better click through rates and better CPAs, as without any one of which, the campaign may go bloated.

Simple ways to decrease the alexa rank for the website

Disavow Links

  • Bing has announced a new configuration area in Bing Webmaster Tools called "Disavow Links." The tool is for submitting URLs of spammy or low-quality sites that link to you or links to your site that seem "unnatural." The new tool can be found under the Configure My Site area of Bing Webmaster Tools.
  • The tool allows you to provide Bing with signals that alert Bing to links you don't trust, according to Bing's blog post. There are no limits to the links you can disavow. Doing so helps send signals to Bing that suggest you want to distance yourself from the site providing the link to you.
  • The tool is merely a way of letting site owners tell Bing what they think of some of the links pointing back to their sites. Regardless of the reason you’re choosing to disavow a link, the mere fact that a webmaster communicates with Bing is what's most important to them.
  • "Webmasters have been asking for a way to disavow links for years now," said Bing's Duane Forrester. "This tool starts that conversation. It can help Bing understand a webmaster’s intent around links pointed at their site."
  • But what happens if you disavow a link you think is shady, but really isn't? Will that hurt your site's ranking? Forrester said no, the act of disavowing a link is merely a signal to Bing.
  • "Given there are hundreds of signals at play when determining rankings, telling us to ignore the value from some links, in most instances, won’t have a dramatic effect."
  • Everything is a signal. For example, many sites improperly use rel=canonical markup. However, Bing is flexible how they react to these signals.
  • You won't see major fluctuations in rankings in some sort of knee-jerk response from merely one signal. Forrester said the overriding a signal to protect a website is an important aspect of their flexibility. If you activate a signal that would be detrimental to your site – for example improper canonical or disavowing a good link – Bing can choose to ignore that signal.
  • The question has become why? There's been a lot of hubbub regarding links over the past few months since Google's Penguin update. But penalizing for unnatural backlinks was a Google thing, right?
  • Forrester suggests that the ability to disavow links has been an ongoing topic for years. After the recent redesign of Webmaster Tools, Bing was in a position to be able to create this tool. So they did.
  • Forrester said the timing of this update isn't correlated to Penguin. The tool was part of ongoing developments in Webmaster Tools based from ongoing feedback they have received from webmasters.
  • Bottom line: while these tools are provided for helping to make Bing a better engine, don't dwell on the be all, end all nature of every act you take.
  • "It's very important folks keep an eye the bigger picture," said Forrester. “Everything is about signals and balance. This new disavow tool, like all the rest of Bing's Webmaster tools, helps Bing to understand a webmaster's intent around its site, and its links.”
