Holiday Planning for SEO and Marketing – IS Conference
Friday, September 17, 2010
We had the opportunity to speak at the Houston IMA annnual Interactive Strategies Conference in this week. The toughest part of the conference was not being able to see all the good quality presentations since there were multiple session tracks for the day.
We happen to think Holiday and Seasonal trends are pretty insightful and shared how you can optimize your web campaigns for both traditional holidays or even make your own holidays to support your business. Flip through the slidedeck to learn how we research phrases and trends to forecast opportunities. We then help clients set editorial and planning calendars for specific dates and know what they should be looking forward to for the next campaign.

Google Instant Search – Impressions and Search Training
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
Google Instant has been announced today. The new feature for signed in users of Google Search will anticipate search query and display search results on the query page based on initial characters. One of the most talked about changes in the several Google Blogs indicates it may have a strong relationship to impressions vs. click through. Impressions for shorter query terms may rise as people get results faster, and overall click through rates may fluctuate. This may have a stronger impact on CTR for AdWords or PPC clients.
“Google Instant changes the way we think about impressions. With Google Instant, an impression is counted if a user takes an action to choose a query (for example, presses the Enter key or clicks the Search button), clicks a link on the results page, or stops typing for three or more seconds.
It’s possible that this feature may increase or decrease your overall impression levels. However, Google Instant may ultimately improve the quality of your clicks since it helps users type queries that more directly connect them with the answers they need.”
