If you want to attract them to your site you need search engine optimization so having good SEO, a improves the user experience and eventually the website traffic SEO is a critical source of traffic for websites. Let us search for something today.
Let's search for furnitures. Okay, so you see the results page on the left side, you see maps. You also see local results. Somehow, the search engine has figured out that I am probably looking at buying Furnitures close to my house and hence, it has shown me local results.
Now, on the right side, You would see. Images titles as well as prices and where you can find them. These are ads, these are Google's shopping ads and they are part of Google Google ads program. You come down further, this is where the search result actually starts the sco or the search optimized Pages start.
Now, Google's algorithm has been constantly evolving. Now it captures your location and also at times your intent. So why is SEO important one? Good. SEO helps in getting your pages.
Ranked high on a search engine result page, just like what? We see here. Hometown dot in, right? An SEO is organic in nature. Now, the biggest advantage of SEO is that it does not involve paying for the listing on the search result page the ultimate purpose of achieving High rankings is simple to attract more traffic to your own site. And ideally to convert that traffic into leads and finally into paying customers.
When you look at your site statistics or web analytics on a tool, like Google analytics, you can see how and where your traffic is coming from. You'd have heard the term organic search. Now SEO is aimed at increasing your organic search. Now the other search would at times hear about is paid search like the shopping ads.
You just so the other advantage of SEO is that it offers a good user experience.

Every aspect of your result, you can use Google analytics to monitor your traffic, you are referral reference sources, your conversions, and any other metric that matters, Do your business. Now, let me just give you an overview of how your search data looks on Google analytics.
So I'm taking you to Google analytics, and let us look at the traffic, and let us, look at the channels. Okay, so what we see here, let me take you to your page. But does traffic. Okay.
So when you look for your traffic sources you would get a data something which looks like this. So there is direct traffic traffic which comes directly to your side. They type in the URL and they just land up. Then there is something called organic search.
So this is what we are discussing today. Let's go and look at the breakup of this organic search so it can be Google, it can be Bing. Now, Google analytics also gives you interesting statistics in terms of the number of users that came in with how many of them were new and some of their behavior on the site like the bounce rate, the time, spent number of pages they consumed Etc. So what exactly is Is search engine optimization? We see results.
We saw the result page. We see that. We know that we searched every day. So what exactly is search engine optimization search engine? Optimization or SEO is a strategy for improving your site's rankings in the search engine results.
Google Bing Etc. Are called search engines page you just. So now that is known as the search engine result page researched for colleges and this awesome results. The search results page on an average, about 10 percent of the clicks happen on the ads and 10% on the next page link that you see at the bottom of the Google page.
Now a good wholesome, 30% happens on the first result that pops up. That is why Brands and websites are constantly trying to optimize their pages to be amongst the top three search results for more Most Publishers 70% of their traffic actually comes from search. Now, you will keep hearing of Google quite a lot when we talk about search that's because about 90 percent of all searches happen on Google addition to this, you would also be using Bing which comes from Microsoft. Bing is the default default Search tool for most MS, Office desktops and laptops.
This also Yahoo cert there is ask. com. This Dogpile Etc. No, approximately about 15 to 20 percentage of users use Bing and Yahoo.
Now, this numbers add up to more than a hundred, that's because many users use multiple search engines for their such requirements. Now, as a marketer, we focus on the basics of marketing, that is to be there where the consumer is. Hence, it's important for businesses to be present on search engine results page. When a new brand comes up, their first task is to have their Pages listed on search have their pages, but we call as indexed.
Then their objective becomes how to get onto page number one. Then they try to get on to be amongst the top three results and then their effort is concentrated on remaining amongst the top three page results to just show you how big search. He's let me take you to this site. Internet lifestyle.
That's so, this is the stats for the day. This about, 4. 3 billion internet users as on date today. And this is about 4.
5 billion. Google searches happened today. That's how big search really is and how critical it is for Brands. There are some myths associated with search.
Let's look at some of them. One is that optimizing Google is sufficient. No agreed. Google does have the majority of such Happening today.
But there is also being there is also Yahoo search normally, as a, as an SEO analyst, one tends to optimized for Google first and then the others, it makes sense to look at your website, traffic, understand the current numbers, the volume of search, as well as the growth Trends. Look at where they're coming from and then decide on which search engine to optimize first. Also many people feel that you can pay and get traffic. So as to a Time attain SEO, if your site is optimized for search, in terms of on-page of page and Technical parameters, you don't really have to pay for it.
There's something called black hat, SEO, which we will be covering a little later there. Many people try to pay and try to get backlinks, Etc. Now, this is not really the recommended practice. It might help you in the short term, but it does not.
Help you in the long term. The other myth is that once you do your optimization, you don't have to do anything after that. You're good to go. You don't have to do anything.
You just stay back and you just enjoy the fruits of your work. That's for the case. Because sco algorithms are constantly evolving now. Five years back you didn't see local search results first.
For example if you are trying to buy perfumes, Google didn't tell you where to buy performs. Hence you need to keep yourself updated with the changing logic and ensure that your website's stay updated to the changes that's happening. In the search engines. Let's start with the fascinating history of search.
Now, the history of search is incomplete, if I don't touch a touch a little upon the history of world wide web. So sir, Tim berners-lee, many of you would already be annoying invented, the World Wide, Web in 1999. Null mr. Bernard Lee came from Oxford University and he was a software engineer at CERN crn.
The largest particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. Scientists came from all over the world to use. It's a accelerators but then certain noticed that they were having difficulty sharing information. So by October 90 Tim had returned the three fundamental technologies that remain the foundation of today's web.
One HTML or hypertext, markup language to URI uniform resource identifier. It's a kind of address that is unique and used to identify each resource on the web today. We know it us URL third is HTTP or hypertext transfer protocol. This allows for retrieval of linked resources from the web.
Now 1990 is when the first search engine called Archie came up. It's kept an index of file list of all public FTP servers. It could find excite came from the project Archie text which was started sometime in Feb, 19, 3 by a bunch of Stanford undergrad students. Now, they had the idea of using statistical analysis of word relationships to make searching more efficient.
So the web's first robot came in, June, 93, Matthew Gray, introduced, the World Wide Web Wanderer, December 93. There were three, full-fledged board fed search engines on the web jump station, the World Wide Web warm, and the repository of based software, engineering are BSE spider jump station gathered info about the title and header, from the web pages and the www worm index, the titles, and the URLs and the RSB spider did Implement a ranking system. Now, the reason why I'm talking about All this is that today what search engines do? Learnt a lot from all these early developments that happened in the 90s and in 94 the very famous Jerry Yang and David fellow created the Yahoo directory and this was a collection of their favorite web pages and also number of links grew, they had to reorganize it and make it searchable. Like costs was the next major search development.
Having been designed at Carnegie Mellon University No City around July of 94 like was went from a catalog of 54 thousand documents in July 94, to about 60 million in Number 96, and this was much more than any other web search engine of those days infoseek. Also started out in 94, they really did not bring much Innovation to the table, but they tied up with Escape. If you remember, let's keep was one of the biggest browsers of boost days late 90s. Early 2000s Etc.
Since Netscape was so popular in 4C, got a lot of exposure 95. I also saw look smart and AltaVista Altavista. Brought many important features to the web seen that they were the first to use natural language queries Advanced searching techniques and they allowed users to add or delete their own URL. They even allowed inbound link.
Checking then came in Tommy and Google. They became popular in Tommy was a leading search engine and it was even powering MSN search those days. However they lost of to Google on account of user experience and relevancy as well as speed of result. Google's history began in 95.
When Larry Page med-surg a brain in 96 the pair began work on a search engine called backrub one of the interesting things that backrub utilized was that links? It runt Just using citation, notation that is if another website be mentioned the website, a it would be a vote for website. A the name back, rub comes from the algorithm generated ranking for how many backlinks a page has this engine worked on a Stanford service for more than a year before. It eventually clogged up the bandwidth and was forced to move google. com was registered on September 1997 A little bit about Ms in such now.
MSN relied on something called Overture look smart as well as inktomi until Google proved their battles mode. Em isn't search was replaced with Windows Live search and later life search, got rebranded as being in 2009. So, let's look at the types of SEO. Now, SEO can be white hat, SEO black hat, SEO or Good to see you.
White heart is your refers to the most legitimate practices a day to by marketers to gain higher rankings. In the search engines. Results page the birth SEO practices strictly abide by guidelines for SEO. Published by search engines like Google the practices listed under the white hat.
SEO techniques may be slowing giving you results but the results last for a longer duration by Ted is your activities include having a secure. PS site, keeping a simple URL structure. Tag in your sight for child-directed treatment making sure your site is compatible with different types of browsers. Making sure you have a good clean HTML code and avoiding creation of duplicate content.
I'm also making sure that your links are crawlable by search engines. Black hat SEO, includes practices that aim at finding weaknesses and loopholes in Google's algorithm in order to rank higher in the search engine results Pages. These practices are against the guidelines proposed by Google and overall, Google's algorithms. Now, the most common black hat, SEO, techniques include spam links keyword Laughing.
Cloaking hidden text and links these practices. Aim at misleading, the users and redirecting to the site. They don't need, let me briefly, explain these techniques further. Spam links are links between pages that are present for reasons, other than relevant content or relevant action.
Keyword stuffing refers to the practice of loading a web page with key words or numbers. Now, let me give you a Google example. Okay, Google says keyword stuffing is ready You think the same words or phrases so that it often sounds unnatural it. For example, we sell custom, cigar humidor has our custom cigar humidor tsar and made if you're thinking of buying a custom cigar humidor, please contact our custom cigar humidor specialist at custom dot cigar dot humidors at example.
com. Okay, now the the phrase custom cigar humidor has is used repetitively and it sounds quite an Natural. And in fact, funny, let's look at cloaking clocking is basically displaying different versions of the same page to humans and search engine Bots, hidden text and hidden link examples would be something like using white text on a white background. Locating text behind an image City, font sizes to 0 Etc.
Now, some of the other practices that one should be careful with are automatically generated content, for example. That makes no sense to the reader but which may contain Search keywords something called doorway Pages. Doorway pages are basically Pages which bit users with a well optimized high ranking page. But then quickly and automatically it will redirect you to unrelated pages.

The website is an ideal search result because it is from a reputable reliable trusted source, which is coated, or linked by other. Good quality. Trusted sources.

East the layout of your page suitable for mobile or handheld devices. As well as things like indexing, crawl ability, site, architecture structured data and security. So how exactly does search engines work? Search engines exist, to discover understand and organize, the internet's content in order to offer the most relevant results to the questions such as are asking to show up in search. Search results.
Your content needs to be first visible to the search engine. It's arguably the most important piece of SEO puzzle. If your site can't be found this, no way you will ever drop in the Ser piece or search engine results page. Now, search engines have three primary functions crawling.
This is basically scouring the internet for Content looking over the code and the content for each URL, they find indexing store and organize. As the content found during The Crawling process. Once the page is in the index, it's in the running to be displayed as a result to any relevant queries. Third is ranking ranking, basically provides the pieces of content that will best answer it Searchers query, which means that results are ordered by the most relevant ones first to the least relevant ones last.
Let's explore each of these a little further. So what is crawling crawling? Is the Discovery process in which search engines. Send out a team of robots, also known as crawlers or spiders to find out new and updated content. Now let me talk to you a bit about robots or as we call them both and internet boat is nothing but a software application that runs automated tasks over the Internet thus run by boats are typically simple and they are performed at a much higher rate compared to Human internet activity.
So googlebot is only a computer program which is written by Google that. Crawls the web and adds pages to its index googlebot crawls web pages via links or hyperlinks. It finds and reads, new and updated content, and suggest what should be added to the index. Googlebot also uses the sitemaps and databases of links discovered during previous crawls to determine where to go.
Go next. Whenever the crawler finds new links on a site, it adds them to the list of pages to visit next. If googlebot finds changes in the links or broken links, it will take a note and then it will update the index. Accordingly, the program determines how often it will crawl pages to make.
Sure googlebot can correctly index your site. You need to check your site. Scroll ability. If your site is available to crawlers, they come around often and they Find out what's new.
The next step is indexing. So how exactly this indexing work after finding a page, the boat Fitch's, or renders the page in the way your browser is that means the board sees what you see, including images videos, other Dynamic page content, Etc. The board. Then organizes this content into categories, including images, CSS HTML.
I'll text and keyboards Etc. Now, this process actually allows the crawler to what we call understand what's on the page. And this is a necessary precursor to deciding for which keyword searches the page is relevant. Now, the search engines, then store this information in an index.
An index is a giant database with a catalog entry for every word seen on every web page, indexed, Google's index is called the caffeine index. To give you an idea of how big it is. It takes up around hundred million gigabytes and fills server Farms, which is basically thousands of computers that never get turned off and they are located across the globe. Let's explore cranking in the final step search engines, sort through indexed information and return the right results for each query.
They do that with search algorithms, algorithms are rules or mathematical Models that analyze World researcher is looking for and which results best answer the query. Algorithms used numerous factors to define the quality of the pages in their index. When you of the ranking factors, used in this algorithms, use popularity of a piece of content and even qualitative experiences, that users would have on the page. Other factors would include something like backlink quality, mobile friendliness, how recent or how, Rest, your content is engagement that's happening on the page, as well as page speed.
So what really happens when search is performed. Now that we have understood, there are, there are three steps in the process of process that search engines use, let us just walk through how search engines answer queries from the moment. You type a term in the search bar, Step One is search engine sparse intent to return. Results.
Search engines have to understand the search intent behind the term. They use sophisticated language models to do that breaking down your query into chunks of keywords and parsing, for example, if Google's synonyms system allows the search engine to recognize when groups of words mean the same thing. Let us just search for floral parasols. Okay.
Now you see lot of results, which have got umbrella, etc, etc. So the search engine has figured out that umbrella is a synonym for parasol search engines. Also use keywords to understand broad categories of such intent. Now, if I were to type parasols online, it will start throwing where I can buy because it has kind of figured out my intent behind The phrase floral parasols online search engines also use freshness, algorithms to understand search intent, the algorithms identify trending keywords, and return your pages.
You would have noticed that during elections, the results of radically different from what you see during non-election times. Step two is where search engines match pages to query intent, once the search engine understands the kind of results. You want to see, it needs to match, the pages factors, which help in matching this Pages, include the title of the page, the content that is the type of content, as well, as well as the quality. The quality of this site freshness, the popularity, as well as language of the query.
Now, step 3 is where the search engine supplied localized factors. So that could mean location. You know, some searches like restaurants near me are obviously location dependent, but you would have noticed that at times. If you look, if you search for paneer, tikka masala from Bombay, the results would be very different from what your friend gets for sir.
Paneer, tikka masala in Delhi. The localized factors also include things like search settings. Whether you have a preferred language told you have opted for something called SafeSearch which filters out content. It also includes factors like search history.
Now if you search for Mumbai Hotel, You will see results for hotels in Bombay and if you click on something like Hotel, Mumbai the movie and then you come back and search again, you will start seeing more of the movie results. All right, moving on. Let us look at some of the tactics and methods. All right, step 1, ensure good user experience.
That would mean, clear, navigation, and ease of use simple steps. Keep fewer number of clicks, so that users can reach their destinations faster. Layout should be intuitive, the flow or transition of pages should be intuitive and visual design should be appealing. Action buttons should be located in the right places as well as it should be easy.
To work with particularly in the case of mobile sides content, Creation. In sure there is proper content strategy in place, there should be a Content, calendar, and schedule in place with the agility to meet topical as well as other and planned events convention, be relevant and useful to the visitor. And it should add value to him or her content can be in the form of text articles infographics. Images and photos videos, podcasts webinars, white papers PDFs, Etc.
Keyword research is a critical component of SEO content, marketing content, marketing involves creation as well as dissemination of information, which is valuable and relevant. So as to acquire new customers engage with existing customers and prevent John, the ultimate aim is to increase the proportion of engaged customers and thereby. By help in increasing your revenues create backlinks. Backlinks get created when you have a good quality content.
For example, if you have an amazing sight on cricket history and been BBC or Times of India writes, an article on Cricket and they link it back to your site. These are backlinks backlinks are also created. When your page is linked up or coated in social media by social media users, make sure you disseminate your stories or content out there. Let me give you an example of what I recently came across, I came across an article about a dog.
This dog is peculiar and cute, because every time his owner, drop something on the floor, the dog sitter or things like paper towel books, Etc. The dog picks it up and he hands it back to the owner. Now, I saw this on a new site but eventually, then I clicked on the link and ended up on the Instagram page and started following. Blowing the dogs handle.
Now, look at the process that has happened. One there was a very good content. This case the video of the dog to those dissemination of the content which was by posting on Instagram and three was optimizing the Instagram content. Maybe he might have used good, hash tags Etc.
So that it got discovered by probably by a journalist who works for a new site. And once the journal is published, The Story on Website more and more people discovered it, and came back to the original Instagram story. So that's how backlinks that credibility and bring traffic to your site. It can be a site, it can be your instapage.
It can also be your Twitter handle. Let's talk a bit more about how to optimize or keywords, select your domain, and Target the most popular keywords. For example, if you have a business of Home Decor products, Ideally, you should choose a domain name users can easily relate to and what reflects your business. Let me take the example of Home Center.
Homesteader is a home furnishing retailer the brand, reflects it, as well as the domain. If you see the domain, it's his home center dot in the domain. Also reflects the product that it sells Now, let us look at a particular category within Home Center. Furniture.
Now, check out the URL. Now the URL, reflects, what the product is there, on that particular page, right? Effective content based on keyword research. Now there are tools like Google, Keyword Planner, which helps to identify keywords, based on actual search stats. Let's assume that I'm writing an article for.
I'm writing an article on home decor Probably for users and I'm going to write about living room Decker. So I'm a bit confused as to what are the words I need to use. So they use something like more lat or should I use paintings? So what I'm going to do now is let's use Google's Keyword Planner and decide on what to use. So here are the words that I am looking for.
I am looking for wall art. Out. Paintings. Art, probably maybe wall hangings.
And let us see. What the results are. Now, as you can see, I have got all these keywords here. Okay, I also have the average monthly search that happens.
And it also tells me how the competition fairs. Okay. So these were our keywords and we see the that me just show you. We see the monthly searches and we also see competition.
So So ideally I should be looking at high volume. and, I should be looking at high volume and low competition. So these are the key words that I will Target first. I hope you got an idea of how to use keywords and how to optimize your page.
So I can also use Google search results. The way we saw it last time, we're at the bottom of the page. I get to see the related search queries that people use. I can also use something called Google Trends.
In addition to this, we can also use the search console that webmasters have in Google webmasters. Mal keywords can be of three types they can be generate or they can be broad match or they can be long-tailed. Now generate keywords are just like what their name says they are generic in nature. Now the advantage is there high on volume but at times they're also high on competition.
They are a times high on cost and if you are a new entrant, the Rob ability to rank on page. One is fairly low. Now, there's something called broad match keywords. The broad match, keywords are much more detailed and specific than generic keywords.
So, we know that a user who makes the search kind of knows, where or what she's looking for, this keywords are relatively easier to rank. Long tail keywords are the most specific set of keywords that leave absolutely little scope for guesswork. One thing the marketer can be sure of while using long tail keywords. Is that the user is already aware of what he or she searching and is looking for some specific results.
This also means that the probability of making a sale is much higher. Now, long tail keywords, the search volumes are low but Conversion probabilities are much higher. Also competition is much lower. Let me show you some example using the same Decker example that we used.
I'm taking you to Google Trends. So basically, Google Trends will help you to search for terms words and love you to compare across periods of time. Let me search for Decor as in home decor. Okay, we can check for different geographies.
Let me check for India. And you can also change the time period that you want to check. So let us look at the results. So, this is basically the result for decor.
Now, let us look at at something, which is a little bit more specific. Let us look at curtains. Maybe even something still more specific like window, curtains. And let's see how the results look like.
So what you see in blue is Decor which is basically a generic keyword but you see in red is curtain which is a broad match keyword and window curtain which is very specific and hence a long tail keyword. Now the volumes as you can see is much lower for window curtains. You can also use Google Trends to look at where your traffic is coming from. So you can look at for each word.
So the blue map is actually for you are take or the red one for you are pink curtain and the yellow one for your window curtain. You can also use Google Trends to look at the rising keywords, as well as the top related keywords. So this is how you can use Google trends for your keyword research. So when you do keyword research, you need to start with questions.
Like, what is my product, but the main and the supporting topics, should we target multiple keywords on a single page, or should I split them into separate pages? What kind of content do users expect when they are searching for each phrase and great does each phrase fall into my visitors journey? Is it about creating awareness? This or interest or desire, or to initiate an action. Now, this is your typical a idea model that we see in marketing. Also, add title tags, links URL and meta description. Make sure your page has proper and relevant.
Title tags, suitable, better description links. So let's talk about title, optimization ability, take title holds the power to capture the attention of the user. Make him or her click and visit your website. Title optimization is a critical part of what we call as the on-page optimization.
Now let's go back and look at the wall, art result that we were trying to check. Let's search for fall or not. so you see a couple of ads here, which are shopping ads, then you see some image results and then here is where your SEO optimized or search. Engine optimize results start coming from So let us look at the title.
Look at this title out here. All right, also look at the slip it out here. All right, so this is what you see on a search result page. Let me actually take you to the page and clicking on it and taking you to the result page.
This is the page which got indexed and displayed by Google. I'm going and checking the page source of this particular page. Okay, here we are. Now, look at this.
What you see on the page Source. Now, this is exactly what you saw on the Google results page. All right, check this out description. You know, this is exactly what you saw here.
Let me also show you the keywords. Look at the keyword that the SEO manager or the SEO Analyst at pepper fry used for all art. All right. We also show you an image.
Okay, so this is an image, let's click and see what that images. All right, and look at the alt tag of that image. Ball metal wall art, right? So this is how search engines capture information that is there on your page and use it to display the results. So how do we optimize the titles? Keep an eye on the length of your title.
Keep it short and relevant while still providing enough information to give to the reader and tell him what the page is all about. Keep in mind that the maximum length for a title tire, is about 70 characters. What happens when the title length is more than 70 characters. So let's explore.
What happens when Title tag is more than 70 characters. Do you see this result? So your title gets truncated and the remaining part of your title gets replaced by three dots. So that's what happens when your title tag is more than 70 characters. Always have unique titles.
Do not copy from competition. It doesn't give you any leverage and you know your competition will be above you in terms of placement. Plan your keywords, use the critical keywords that you're focusing on it. Helps in SEO.
If your title has a strong indication of what your page is about branding, try to include your brand name in the title.

A recent study, also states that off page SEO makes up to 75% of a good digital strategy. It has everything to do with your social presence link building and many more that doesn't really have to be present on the page putting it across in. Layman terms, I would say of page, I see you simply tells Google or search engines about what the audience, think about your website. Off-page optimization is this link building, but there's definitely more Wings to it guys.

So backlinks are the heart of off page SEO guys. Search engines like Google and many more make use of backlinks as certain indicators. As for good quality content, backlink are also the most critical part of off-page SEO. So for this purpose, you can make use of SEO tools like a ahrefs sem rush and so on.
So ahrefs is one such tool that has a backlink checker, which will help you in understanding how to create backlinks and to handle them. Now, when I say link, I'm talking about the links that are present on the beach, connecting it to the other website. So I will, mainly be talking about the Three Links. Actual links manually build links and self-created links.
As the name suggests natural link is something, which is created naturally and manually. Build Link are the ones which you want to rank our, you want to link it to and self-created links are anchor tags. The major factors, which influence has these links? Are the linking sites popularity, the freshness of the link, the proper usage of anchor, text or anchor tags, authority of linking domain, and the web site. Right now.
How exactly link building is done one of the most effective and most popular ways of dealing, with off page SEO is link building. Here we have the concept of boards which help in gathering the ranking position of your competitors and your company. So there are many ways through which you can include a link skies and a few notable ones are in your blocks.

Marketing deals with Jing videos and writing blogs, these business articles are not just composed of fancy words, but also contain the thirst for getting more traffic and goodly. So you should be able to distribute your content right to the right people via the right medium. Now, talking about anchor text, which is also used for creating links or four-page. Anchor, text is a visible.
And clickable text when a hyperlink, these are the links that you can find in any article when they're linking to another webpage. It is often blue and is underlined text guys. So anchor tags. Look something like this.
So these anchor text is used by the search engines to show how the reflection of how your audience view your website. The anchor was used in the previous HTML specifications, and now it is used as a and Ament. And also, you can see this anchor text in our blocks guys. If you closely, observe the blocks, you will be able to find a few topics put up in the beginning and will be linking those to the position where the topic Stars.
So, these are called The Anchor tags on the page, and also, you have links, right? Those links are going to help you to navigate to another webpage or another site, right? So these are called anchor tags or anchor text. Now, moving on, we'll take a look at it, the non link related off page SEO. These factors have a lot more influence on your traffic compared to the ones you've got without a CEO or social marketing, the few notable one. Among the non links related off page SEO, our social media marketing, guest blogging, linked and unlinked brand, mentions influencer marketing.
And so on, also do note this guy's that the net result of each of the activities on your website is to somehow create a reference to your site from Elsewhere on the web reference, your refers to the link and mention of your brand or your website over the internet. Now, focusing on the lack links part. Let's understand what exactly backlinks. Our backlinks are also called as inbound links or incoming links.
These are created when one website is linked to. Another the link to an external website is often called as a backlink Google and other major search engines. Consider backlinks as warts for a specific web page. It means that the page with the higher number of votes will rank higher on the search engine result Pages.
Like say, for example, if I have like to post from X on Instagram, I That corresponding post on my profile and my followers will click on the post that I share. This is actually going to create a back link to the post from X. It means here, alot only be including the post from X, but I'll also be getting more views and clicks because I shared one of the top posts from X. It's a win-win situation here, guys.
So why exactly do you need, backlinks? Backlinks are important to make sure that the audience know about your business. Also look out for people to find more sources of information on the same or related topics. So how do you create back link right? A lot of guest post, build a good public rapper also helps in reducing broken links. Now moving on, to the next part of this session.
Let's take a look at the difference between on-page and off-page SEO. Comparing the two most widely used SEO techniques. I've noted on a few major differences between them on page SEO. Involves optimizing your content.
It detects description title and every other element present on the website. Whereas off page SEO involves the activities that drive more significant traffic, helps create awareness about your website and also linking on-page SEO often deals with content marketing. Keyword optimization, paid speed and so on, whereas off page SEO deals with linking social media, backlinks and guest blogging. So these are two important differences.
Differences between the two SEO techniques, okay? So moving on to the next part or the last part of the session, let's understand the benefits of using off page SEO. Off page, SEO helps increase ranking. It helps your website rank higher on the search engine result Pages. Hence, resulting in early.
Good traffic, it helps your company get wonderful, exposure higher. The ranking. More will be the traffic because of the number of links, social media mentions, and so on, And also this helps in increasing your pagerank, getting your website to rank on the first page on Google is quite challenging but making use of off-page SEO. You'll be able to learn about ranking factors, what influences the ranking and so on.
So the page rank number is between 0 to 10 thatÃs important, according to Google and is placed first on the search engine result pages. Okay, so using off page SEO, you can achieve this. So these are some notable benefits of using off-page SEO. Guys, this is the agenda for today except a paid search production to Google ads and important metrics and terminologies of Google ads.
Let's understand first receptive advertisements. I'm sure Bluff. You must have seen various forms of advertisement in several platforms. It may take a minute here and explain you how advertisements used to work in the pre-internet era back before.
1990 is well, internet was not existing properly but eyes is mostly used television ads. Billboards is paper ads, radio ads. Ads, direct mails Etc. The first three options had very high entry barriers.
That is very high cost involved and it was difficult for advertisers to know. The are we exactly, for example, Hindustan Unilever, which has amazing brand Lux. So, when in the Diwali, time actually used to come up with the ads newspaper ads. Several radio ads, boards Etc, though.
The end of the grant of the valley, they would regulate their popping sale tails. And then they would like to understand like which which method worked for them better. Fortunately, there was no direct ways know which, which was better like newspaper ads did better or the tv ads did better. There was no way to understand who is consuming the ads.
So for example, let's say your mom is watching Mahabharat. Back in 1990 s and t seeing a cigarette ad. So it should relate to it. Probably know.
Your dad is reading a newspaper, and he seeing a full page looks sad. Today. Relate to it correctly. No, to summarize, as we're mostly a game of companies with pockets higher, you pay more Prime slots or front Place sort slots.
You get in the newspapers and process was That's what I says paid money to TV or newspapers books a prime time slot to neck to at this point of time is not here, there is no check-in quality of the ads Premier, it would depend on how Prime the slot is. Let me quickly move to the era when internet started. So the first search engine was found out found by a Yahoo in 1994 and it came as a directory search. And within a year, we got I'm going to search engines 12, pleading for user retention included again on site.
Before sick, Tommy, Altavista to name a few basically end. Users could browse the directory also and do a lot of keyword search. Also, Google came into existence in 1998, using the technology you have. Some of you might have heard, this called is rank.
The point I'm trying to make here is Google came point the search engine result race at late. It Rose in prominence, in Leaps and Bounds because the high quality search results, it provided similarly for paid advertisements. Also whole was not a forced many to start a paid advertisement in search mastered, the game by providing a amazing interface. Better quality ads.
Great also You're doing a Level Playing Field for small and medium companies as well, just understand at how advertising experience changed over the years. Let me give an example of Josh furniture shop. Seriously what used to what we used to do is to not with newspapers. Pamphlets the used to the database of people, they used to call them and ask them to come to their furniture shop.
Okay so if they tried they could have never update for flying. I'm in TV or radio or newspaper, what changed? After internet came, Josh furniture created the website take conductive care of some basic stuff and started search advertisements. So whenever people were searching for some kind of Furnitures online, astrologer came to came in the search results, they came in the paid ads in the game completely, change your Josh furniture, I'm not rupees in that the month of June and we got 400 legit and queries which resulted in six hundred thousand rupees of sales. So Roi also is clearly known here.
Please also understand that here, the payment will depend on the prime slot as well as how good your ads are. It is something called ad quality, basically search engine provided right information at the exact moment when people needed them along with highly related. It's also created a Level Playing Field, which I will explain with this Basics. Let's move to some facts.
We all have seen Google Search, right? You know how many searches will process per second is 70 thousand searches which translates to 5. 8 billion searches per day. But of the like, Google is not only search engine, 76% of the search engine Market. Belongs to Google.
There are other search engines like Bing, Yahoo and different other search engines around the world to for paid it search like paid advertisement. The corresponding number is 73% for Google so never people search something in Google a page which is called CRP search engine result. Page Trend data is that 46% of the clicks, go to the top three ads in the search result and 63% of the people agree that they have clicked on, Glads. And lastly, we'll delivers 8 is to 1 return on investment that.
Is it dollar for every $1 spent? So isn't it amazing? So no doubt because of all these things, Google has a version in Eminence. Let's move to the next slide. Let's try and understand what happens when is a search going on. First and foremost, let's try and understand.
So why are search engines For so basically, search engines are there who returned excellent quality and relevant organic, search results to the users search engines. What they do is behind the scenes, they call millions and millions of sides, millions of web pages through all the data and various factors into account, and a decide that for each and every turn to search from Google, kind of pages are supposed to be written. Turn to they provide an amazing organic search results and above and below the organic search results. They also provide it search.
Oh, let's understand. Clearly here, every time you're searching for something, there is a search option happens. It's a fraction of time. So let's take the example of Dosh, furniture shop.
Once again, They said what step this is like, advertisers around the world, and in the five, the key relevant terms to research. So, Google has provided some amazing tools like, keyword tool, Etc, to the digital marketing person, who is setting the Josh furniture shop e, researchers a lot of Search terms and he decides, okay. These are the terms which would get some relevant buyers for me so that Terms are like dining chairs online. It didn't Furniture, rubber wood coffee table.
I Home Furniture online in Bangalore so they decide that they decide that these four terms they are going to bid for Simplicity of explaining. Let's say that bit hundred rupees in Google and they create landing pages for each other. Each of this terms. So basically M an end user searches for that term.
A similar term. What Google does is Google reviews. All the ads with at keyword or similar keywords and Google does a quick just like quality check and Google Narrows down there at that, okay. Apart from the organic searches are three quality advertisers who had before this term.
So Google Science, a drank all these three advertisers. So I drank as decided by Actors, such as equality, bit quantity, bid amount, and quality ad, rank threshold, and text Etc. So Google quickly decides that ranks at based on the ad ranks then throws the surf page and just understand here. The whole thing is a fraction of seconds, maybe point two five seconds or even less.
So basically Google what it does is like part from the organic search results. Provides a couple of paid search results them with the organic like above or below fold of the organic search results. And taking the example of by dining chairs online keyword here. Online option happens, Google calculates.
All the payment is on short time quality and a drank. This is a difficult slightly difficult concept. So basically let's say competitor number one, based on the calculation provided by Google competitor. Number one is supposed to pay 60 rupees for the suction and remember that Josh Furniture has For an amount of hundred rupees now, according to Google's, algorithms Josh furniture will pay, just 1 rupee extra above the competitor.
Number one, who be on the top slot. So is understand here that Josh would Google. The hundred Rupees is the maximum amount that I want to prefer. This keyword just pay creature.
Is 61 rupees, and that's the number one slot. And an important thing to understand here is the just Furniture is not paying anything. If the ions are not click organic results are clicked. They are not paying anything.
So we'll only charges the advertisers when when a lad is actually a few understand here correctly. There is clearly a quality factor involved, so an easier way for Google would have been who offer the maximum bidder. Google could have said that one who pays be the maximum. Whoo.
Lift coming down but up the search result early Google does never does that and probably this is the differentiating factor here. Google takes care of the quality that three-step let's quickly move to the concept of a drank. We quickly understand getting a high ping. A good ad rank is very important for advertisers.
Otherwise they will not be able to come up in the search results for front of their target. Customers higher. That a drank there is the chance of doing in the results and hence better is the chance of a getting clicks. So, let's understand what are the parameters, which Google did it takes care of the ranked first in, of course, a beautiful the amount of bit set by the advertisers apart from that.
This is not the only thing Google is looking at. So, I'll just quickly quickly, Don't explain one thing to you all, when two people who real people work for banks, they asked for and Home Loan. In the bank ride the home loan to these two. People at the same interest rate.
Answer is no banks will. Look at something like credit score. You might have some of you might have heard about the bill scores and Transunion scores Etc. So depending on the payment, three Etc is a score tied to each and every person basis of which banks and financial institutions, provide loans to individual users.
So this is something like that. So apart from the payment part will look at the ad and landing page quality. So let's quickly understand how this works. Remember the search term is / which are online in Bangalore.
Ads and the landing page, both of all the three key word, the ad and the landing page of them should be on the same pitch. Should all have the same kind of messaging landing page, should be clear, it should have a clear ui/ux, it should have a good load speed and it should have a clearly stating advantages that you have spoken on the ad. For example, if you on the ad, you have I've mentioned 24×7 support or free shipping for all other orders landing page. Should also speak the same language.
So this is added landing page. Quality comes to impact of ADD extension at this point of time, please understand that ad extensions are extra bit of information which advertisers add complement 3D provided details in the landing page or add messages. Then, of course, the third factor is competitiveness of option. It is very clear right now, higher higher, the number of advertisers are there more Picard option becomes here comes the most important to factors first, the context of search to understand why these terms have come.
So these things have come recently in the last few years because because of the Advent of areas devices by Sanibel devices. Search has completely changed. So Google will say, I engines, are trying to understand not only the pumps that sun has provided. But also, the next person is in context, is something beyond the keywords benefits of contact will search include helping the users faster and more accurate results based on their queries.
For example, if you are searching for Batman, if you're searching for the term Batman in the month of October. Most likely you will be shown site selling Halloween costumes because it is the time of fellow Will. Oh, let me give you a better example, which you all can relate. So let's say, we're already.
You have already gone to Goa and you are searching for up. Go restaurants from your mobile phone, your 4G connection process, but sitting in your home, good gown Ariana and You are using your home Wi-Fi laptop and searching for Goa restaurants restored, completely different context and in all probability search page and the ads, plus them would be very different here. The last, there is a track threshold. So clear language a drunk threshold.
The reserve is for your ad. In the previous slide, I had explained that Google will charge. You – one rupee extra in comparison to your yes, competitor, right. That is a very basic explanation.
I give you actual calculation is a bit different. Let's understand here. Like maybe there is a situation where only one that iser is there and that advisor, Advertiser not have a good party score also and time quality. Score.
Because of the absence of the details, either that Advertiser is able to show the ads in front of you. So Google would not like to do that if you are lower than the threshold your ads will not show if your bid is lower than the a drunk threshold. So let's say the if the ad rank threshold is 60 rupees, if you have bid 450 rupees for that particular keyword, your ad will never show and it's none of your competitors. A little bit to show threshold.
Ice is the reserve price is the price, you pay for the click. So, let me move to the next slide. This is in continuous shot with the previous slides, Advertiser, which gets the higher ad rank. They are in the number one position, competitor 1 has got a score of five point six.
Two red number two and competitor to is number three. So let's move to Quality score which is one of the most important Concepts, Google ads. Before moving into quality score, let me explain you. One thing very tightly Google has always been very tight-lipped.
Wow, how is how it uses its auction method? Google never gives out the details. So for the first time in 2008, so Google Google ad system started back in 2001, 2004 the first time in 2008, Google officially told that it is core plays. An important factor is a male as an important factor. Actor for showing Google ads to let us understand what is quality score quality score.
Is an aggregate estimate of how well keyword has performed over all the reductions. So let me give you a real, a real life example here, when that Polly comes to back, you might have seen on the TV screen will be like lot of data given. Like how many matches Brad Coley has played how Centuries have made. What is the average score? What is the strike rate is the know? What are the number of catches? So quality score is similar treasure aggregate estimate.
So whenever keyword comes into play, Google would first look at its quality score. Each keyword is a quality score on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the lowest score and 10 is the highest score. So needless to say, advertisers around the world Ry to get higher quality score. So everyone is trying to teach the quality score of 10 which is the Pinnacle null, quality score.
So generally, when you put a word first, like when you start an account or start an ad, quality score would all probability will start at null quality score. So it will take some time for that quality score to other enough info. Now Impressions or clicks accurately determine the quality score. So Google will take Pain.
And then generate cases the quality score starts at number 5 is the midi middle number between 1 to 10. And let's understand the most important Point here. Quality score is not the same as option. Time at quality is not used at auction tile to determine a drank em.
Quality score. Depends on exact match impressions. For now, you have to understand that it is curved score. Keyword is I chairs online.
Quality scores would depend on exact matching pressure, and if it does not get a lot of exact match impression might learn to null. Let's quickly. Understand, what are the factors to? Determine quality score? Again, Google has revealed this data, so this is on black and white now, it's experts are supposed to be believed. There are more than 50 200 factors on which quality score depends.
Try to Google first, the expected through rate. So let's understand what is expected, click-through rate sector. Click-through rate is a prediction and it is different from the actual click-through rate or the CTR column you will find in your account. To unlike the actual City, our column status easy, TR will tell how the keyword will perform both within your account and across all other website, advertisers account.
And so, Google will take aggregate understanding about how this keyword has performed across all the advertisers and why it is core to that. And this status will also be adjusted to eliminate influence of adpositions and other factors that affect the prominence and visibility of ads which has an extension. And again this will again depend on exact match. So expected To read are given as coverage average and below average.
So if you have a click that click through rate of above average, or average detectors would mean that there is no major problem if your keywords and but if you are getting a below-average status, that means that you named, you definitely should consider changing your ad text and other things who improve. Second point is ADD relevance and relevance is how closely your ad is related to your keyword. So this is kind of a selfish, no matter anything. If you are bidding on Red Sox for men, if you're so your ad should be doing about it sucks for men only you cannot tell that my socks online.
So if you if you put a text like that your relevant should be lower. If you get proper groups and create proper at saw them directly or add relevance will be, I relevance will have above average average and below average. And again, if there is a below-average status at the Rings door, a door, keyword may not be specific enough for ad group May cover too many topics, so to get and relevance below average. To might have to revisit your Google ads structure and you might have to get more early themed a groups okay the card is landing page experience in.
I have planned it for keyword your ad relieve add a landing page should be the same page. They would talk about same messaging. Landing page should have good ui/ux. Your landing page should have good.
Navigability should not have a lot of pop ups Etc and it should have good. Speed score. This is how it looks like a quality score. So depending on quality score, will you get some number like six out of ten or seven out of ten and whenever you see a below-average the quality score is definitely a need for you to take action.
So let me give you all a pro tip here from my experience. To Google AdWords is a game of Google ads. The game of continuous Improvement, so you cannot create a perfect landing page, and you cannot create a perfect ad sit down on your laurels will lead to come always re-evaluate. Its you'll need to always re-evaluate your ads, your landing page.
Please look at options to make it better, okay? So let's understand what are the types of search queries here. So that's queries. Can be navigational, queries can be informational and transactional let's try and understand things are. Navigational query is a search query entered with the intent of finding a particular website or webpage.
For example, I do Rica, but I do know that I do recognize directing too many good quality winners, so you do not remember where do they come website? With exactly what you'll do, is you go to Google, you will search a to Rica you will most probably find recovered site on the top. Similarly, this person has searched for Best Buy to. He is in u. s.
you search for Best Buy and he got a clinic search result at the top by, is there the point here to be noted is why as a company has bid for the term, Best Buy does not like competitors. So am I add on top of the page? The best. I would not for this term best by a competitor like Walmart or competitor. Like Amazon can turn the term and come at the for that particular search results.
This is this type of search queries would have decent amount of interest from notices. Let's quickly move to the next type of search queries. That is informational search queries. Information search queries are cover broad topics such as digital marketing or Bangalore.
So thousands and millions of sites are reserved turned. And these are generally not created by paid Market. Here's Vicki because the topics are so broad. It would be very difficult to something out of here as marketers.
We should not leave it completely. So what strategies we can do for Informational search queries is, I can write a push-pull of tips in create how-to videos. We can write Del step by step guide. For example, if I write a step-by-step guide on little marketing, so probably I'll come my page will come on the top of the search results.
When we design an amazing image or infographic thought type, and the most important type for Equity has is transactional. Search queries sectional search. Where is a query that indicates an intent complete, a transaction, which is making a purchase to here to recently. I'm facing a lot of problems in my laptop so I am trying to get a good laptop deal here.
So what I did is I went and I searched in Google for by Lenovo laptop online try and understand for keeping the search queries. I could have done a lot of informational search queries as well. When I searched for a Lenovo laptop online. I can see is like, Lenovo is already at the top of.
So here you can see that Lenovo is already in the search of organic search results. They wanted to make sure that ads are also coming. They want, do not want to leave the top slots and also the right side of the search result, you can see the Google shopping ads. So also made sure that That there are ads are coming here as well.
So, I've got a users across the world, trying to get the top results and top slots in front of the Target customers, bring back to the transactional search queries. So to reiterate advertisers what they do is they do text ads to above-the-fold. Visibility go for shopping ads which gives them an extra Edge because there are images and other information can be provided important. Nokia is like, big cannot neglect the SEO and content marketing part.
So we saw lower in number one of the organic search results. Also, so to summarize advertisers should be unique and paid efforts both to get results in search results. So, let's quickly move to Google ads, to Google ads. You get access to a broad range of advertising products, designed to help you reach your Target customers.
Remember, this is the important Point, each, your Target customers in the moment that matter. So, I have already explained how the moments at a let's say you are in could you are searching for a restaurant in cool. These are very important moment that matters for you. So what you do is that you do a quick Google search, you find a good restaurant in Google Maps or Google ads and you will visit that place.
You get some amazing food and you are wowed, so you become a fan of Google and that restaurant for the rest of your life. So what Google does is based on your fitness goals, Google does a lot of habilis heavy lifting providing wonderful technology, And quite you White's, you a list of rules for you and list of Pinstripes for your goals. So, let me quickly move to Gold's. So, the main business goals that some most of us.
Clearly understand. First is Drive sales and get leads. I don't think you need to explain anything you guys because you already understand this. Let me quickly move.
Who does Point whatever – so I will given I am given a real life example, here is a friend of mine called ratnam, he has a company Innovative Products. LLC Torrid name has come up with a product called Garuda. Garuda is augmented reality sunglass for driving assistance. But what it does is like when you wear this sunglass and is obviously connected through 4G and probably 5G etc etc.
Yeah, and it will provide you to by turn navigation. Details will give you information about what are the restaurants on the road? What are, what is the traffic condition will tell you, okay, to let you product. Right? The purpose behind build awareness, objective is to increase the amount of people that see your ad. For business, might not be a well-known brand now, but with the build awareness objective, you are able to spread your brand across the web.
And in front of the So now, once you start these kind of adds the people will start recognizing your brand, your logo and your product. Quickly tell you about the theory of 16 Impressions, who might have probably heard it. A brand needs at least 13 to 16 Impressions, the registered in a perspective customers. And we do not, it is all happening in subconscious, right? So we will think about laptops, we think about Apple, Well, we think about Lenovo, how do these brands have done this how their parents have done? This is true, continuous Impressions.
It leads to say, these types of campaigns, like build awareness, type of campaigns will emphasize the number of Impressions over the number of clicks. Let's understand quickly how it works. Imagine you are a new business and you have just invented a new new product example, Garuda because this product has Being seen or heard before the no one is searching about it. No one is searching for a virtual reality sunglass, right? Your advertisement goals for this.
New product, should be like, bring it in front of a lot of people, so that people understand okay, such kind of product, also, exist to learn about your Innovation also. So the build awareness objective is a good marketing. Objective pure, starting a new business or have a new product, which is not widely known. To the people.
So it is a good example. You are expanding your business to a new area. Introducing customer to to offer is a new business code for you. Another example for it can be accepted as a popular South Indian restaurant called chutneys in Hyderabad and it is expanding to the city of Amritsar which is popularly the city of parity and show Lake wheelchair so they are going.
To City of Amritsar need to create an awareness in front of the people that such kind of food habits can also be there. Let me quickly move the next. Our next topic that is influence consideration. So consider influence consideration as the next step to build awareness.
Now that the build Awareness on the Innovative product Garuda is the next step, so it is called his leg moving. Step Ahead, Ed in the area of decision, making funnel member ideas. I will not get into details of ideas. Now basically how it works influence consideration, objective includes something called in Market audience targeting and engagement ads.
So in marketer audience, are consumers, who are actively, researching comparing products across the Google Display Network. Let me give you an example of my case, but as I told you my laptop and started giving problems, okay. I'm started searching to buy a new laptop. Do a lot of search on digital marketing.
I'm a tech Enthusiast. I check out whatever new products are coming in Google regular basis. I love driving, I do online shopping a lot. I love driving to new places staying in hotels, etc, etc.
So I invest in stock, markets and mutual funds. So without me knowing Google has predicted. All this data about me and Google has put me into 10 different sets. Well, in Market audience or not getting too technical but typically you just need to understand the term audience.
Does that mean that Google has given my name widget Panda to these people advertisers across the world know. So Google has unanimously created. This of audiences are kind of people are there imaginary. I'm Lenovo K4.
I need to Do my laptop ads to people how never knows that I am the in Market audience of buying a laptop, probably to Lenovo will start showing me ads in the Google Display Network. So, these kind of Engagement ads gives customers more information about your business. So basically, through these kind of ads, you can display your product information in front of And so people who are a good customers influence cost consideration, objective is for businesses who have to differentiate from similar products, they are competition. Switcher allows you to educate your customers about your specific product or service in order for them to understand why they should be buying from you.
So you are creating a differentiating factor for yourself to this. V business goal is promote your app. We are talking about the Google, the types of Google ads here, search ads for Chad's. I don't have anything much to explain anymore because move a lot of it has already been covered in the few slides.
Google search ads appear on Google search Network. So, Google search network is not only the Google side is a group of search related websites. So your ads can show near the search results when someone searches with terms related to one of your keywords and what are the types of ads in the search Network? So they are text ads, Dynamic, search ads. All only adds shopping ads, image and video ads.
So, let me quickly move down to the next slide. Google search Network, Google search network, comprises of not only Google search. Also Google Play Store. Google shopping.
So it is like if you do not know, it is google. com slash shopping is. Then there is Google images and Google Maps. Also Google app, Google Maps.
App is also there and let's understand about on Google sites as well. So there are a lot of non Google sites. Also in Google search networks who have a search functionality in embedded in their website. So for text ads search Partners would include hundreds of non-google website.
As well as little video and other Google sites or product shopping ads. Third partner sites that display and linked products for sale. So, this is the Google ads account structure. To we have an account which is a unique combination of email and password inside account, we have thread campaigns, each account, each campaign would have friends sets of AD groups, besides ad groups, then he adds And keyword specified.
So this is very important whenever we are planning something, you need account structure, perfectly okay and M3 account will have Adam budget specified. So last Point here is the keywords for text ads, keywords are very important. These are the keyword match types. That Google provides first is Broad match the exact match broad match modifier Our prints match and negative keywords.
So, let me quickly explain with example, what are they? So, let's say, I am a telegraph's Red Sox for men and women. So, if I am writing Red Sox like this, this is called an exact match, and my ads will only show. When someone searches for Red Sox, pick someone searches for Red Sox, four men in the first case. One, it will not show so Zach.
Red to Red Sox. Exact match will show second case, the red sub, some men to again, exact match will show when someone searches for Red Sox on men, the, why is it will not show for any other thing. Let's come quickly to phrase match by put Red Sox like this. So, if someone searches for Red Sox for sale, it's shops to buy it sucks for me.
All these Search terms, Since when is there the exact phrase match these ads will show? And fourth type is like a broad match, so it is like taking a broad match. So it will attract all kinds of Earth's terms like Red Sox for newborn babies are Red Sox. Cute, can Red Sox, match with black leather shoes, Red Sox, which is a team etc. Etc.
So the point here is Paid marketeers we cannot afford to show ads per Ruiz, non-trivial Us Red Sox cute so we'll have to do a lot of hard work will have to do analyze the Search terms on a daily basis. And we'll have to put a new worm negative Search terms like, newborn babies, cute shoes can y, etc, etc. This is how the Google ads interface will look like twins. Show your different forms of ads in the left side or clicks Impressions and all the details.
Let's quickly move to display ads. Let's first understand what is display. Ad Network. So, previously, we tried reaching at, as Market as advertisers, we tried reaching our Target customers, only Google Search right now.
Google will display ad. Network is a repository of There are two million sites and apps reaches, 90% of the people on the internet and basically, your ad, either gets matched with the content related to your business, like your keywords, or customers interest to quickly understanding about with the Google Display Network, it is much bigger. It provides much bigger reach as compared to search Network. As a flip side here to do not do proper targeting.
There is a high chance of Blowing away your budget without achieving anything quickly, understanding about display ads. So in case of search, there were different parties but was first, was advertisers second was the Target customer and interface was the search Network, right? It was either the Google search website, or Google, search Network website, in case of misplaced ads. Expertise us who are trying to reach their Target, customers across the world and there are Publishers to let me, explain quickly. What is the publisher to publish? As our new website or app? Who have a good website or app.
For example, I have a fashion website where I write regularly about fashion and give give a lot of information about what is in. In swat are ending etc, etc file, I am spending a lot of money in keeping the website up, keeping the blog's, keeping the images, etc. Etc. So for Publishers this ad networks provide way or some money by placing ads in their website.
So how does this work? Advertiser is the one who pays money get his advertisement show. And advertisements are shown the publisher websites or apps with the help of this ad Networks. And Advertiser is money and he makes money. I return on investment by selling targeted, advertisements.
Products of and services Advertiser owns or controls the product or services. That is being advertised because advertisers, he is the in the command, similarly, Publishers on or money by giving away slots in their existing website, or existing apps and Advertiser Advertiser, advertisers actual products or services and drives the users to malicious page, fill out the form, or make a purchase. It's Quickly understand that other display ads targeting options. First, one is topic targeting.
Picks are essentially the category of the page user is searching on. So actually, topics can be very useful for display advertisements. For example, taking the advert, taking the example of just Furniture. Let's say just one teacher writes matrices for beds.
So good topic for Josh, Furniture can be home and garden, Clash bedroom plus by bedding and linen. So these are topics which are already provided by Google CDN like Google interface and if I'm trying to sell mattress, I can quickly select this topic and I can quickly move with my advertisement. Second is interest categories. So, there is something called in Market audience, in Market audience, our users were actively researching or comparing products or Services across the Google Play Network.
So, Google is collecting all this information through cookies. Google is able to understand that. Okay, this person Eternal Bridget, the actively looking for laptops or mr. X is actively looking to buy a car.
This audience is very valuable. As guys already have moved further down in the funnel. So they have already like they have a need lll need and they're looking for the real product to buy food example, can be if I'm a Kia car dealer. So, all of you might know that KIA is a new brand which is, which is come to India market in probably last one or two years, a Kia car, dealer can target folks who have been shopping for Monday.
Or maruti it becomes very easy for em Target. These people to these audiences second is Affinity audience. Affinity audience takes a broader view in allowing advertisers Target users based on their interests. So unlike in-market audiences in the previous example, I have slit in Market audience, Affinity audience are not necessarily in the market to purchase a product at that very moment.
They are actively searching. So, in my case will knows that I am. I such a lot on display marketing. I searched a lot about students tells I travel a lot, I searched about cars.
So, probably, I am in the Affinity Market list for all these topics and the best part I love about. Will that give standard options? Plus it allows you to extend match things to then there are placement targeting. So, for example, I am the key, our car dealer, okay? So I have a list of a hundred websites and read top websites, which car lover, sit well. So, what I do is, instead of going for topic, advertisements or interest categories is just put I ads in this top hundred websites, please.
Anywhere's, anyone who is but going to research about cars is going to be stop lights. And here are an idea, can be like, you can do a lot of research. You can make a list of a hundred, two hundred, three hundred websites. Did you start? Or you can choose to glow go.
Slow here, can make a list of 20 30 websites first. Keep on adding fourth, one is contextual targeting, which is a targeting by keywords. It work Lat, I Google text ads, so we pick up keywords, and we'll searches for this keywords per in the websites. And Google, this is our ads in the responding websites.
Fifth one is demographic targeting the demographic targeting would include H tender and parental status. The quickly example exam, explain this with the example of marketing guy at friends adult. Diaper. So if I'm selling adult diaper, two men, so I don't have to do any hard work, I'll just tick age category 65-plus and I'll pick the gender as men, Bingo and Surround it is as simple as that.
That's point is, like exclusions. So, depending on various reasons, advertisers would not like to show their ads in different category of websites. For example, a lot of Guys are do not like to put their ads on gaming sites or Casino sites or sites where content is sexually explicit. So you can select these categories you can include or exclude.
You can mix and match things. For example, if I am working for a company which is not falling under any standard of surrendered degrees or topics, or interests, can create my own categories, or I can create My own Market audience, I think are of Topics by adding interest adding contextual targeting including my competitors. So it is Tina guys, it is absolutely amazing. So video ads again, it is the complete signs and there are different forms of add.
A skippable in-stream ads are ones, which are, and we skipped after 5 seconds and a appear on YouTube watch page has and across websites and apps which are in Google video Partners. So please note that there is a Google search partner network with the Google display partner Network. And there is a Google video partner Network as well. Unskipable All in stream ads are ones which are non skippable.
So here you get maximum 15 seconds to provide your message ads. Cannot be skipped and the ads appear across YouTube videos and across websites and apps running on Google Geo partners. And the third category is video, discovery adds only appear on YouTube and Reach people in places where they are discovering content. So, for example, when you go to YouTube, And you saw you're searching for something to these kind of ads will come.
They will help other users to discover your content and they will also appear alongside related YouTube videos and on YouTube mobile home page as well. There are bumper ads, so you can use bumper ads when you want to reach viewers, broadly, the short memorable message bumper ads are six, second slots. And here you can reach people with a very Very quick messaging, very quick, powerful messaging consumers, as a name. Suggest it only appears on will partner sites does not appear in YouTube.
These are ads are available in Mobile and tablets are designed to give a better experience in Mobile to help you reach. A lot of people who are outside YouTube. Okay guys, so let's move to a pads. Clear understanding a pads, pads are It campaign types, you don't have to create any campaigns here, that designed to help advertisers to drive app installs and app, convergence across all of Googles inventory.
So, basically, we need to understand that there's a lot of app churn goes on, and then, if you come up with your app, is very important for the right, users to discover your app, so Google provides will app. And for this purpose, Us so that you can put your ads directly in front of the Target customers. You have the two different methods. One is cost per install to as the name suggests here, The Advertiser is willing to pay a certain amount for each install example.
If I have a budget of $100, the I say that I'm willing to pay $2 for each app install a day. Like, and my budget is $100 per day. Probably, I am targeting 50 ad, free app installs to app. Similarly cost per action is like promoting users to specific actions inside the apps.
Probably some Revenue generating action or who for gamers are going to the next level is like that tapping ADS works amazing for you. If you are a physical or online, litter retailer, who using shopping ads, you can promote your online and local inventory. You can boost traffic to your website, you can get footfall to your local store. And you can find Qualified leads timidly, that's idea, right? Rip to get leads.
So let's quickly understand how shopping at works. It is very important. First, we'll have to create create a Google merchant center account. So it is a free account using merchant center account, we can upload our inventory data, physical infant inventory data in Google merchant center, the will up to Google ads and it will The data, for example, in case of just Furniture first Furniture can provide the data of like bedroom, Furnitures will just upload.
It will have to upload the data and Google will automatically show the right ads with images and other details in front of customers. So, let's quickly understand, like, what is the differentiating factor for for it, for this kind of ads. Google text tags are completely text ads. There is no display elements there, okay? But in contrast, to text ads shopping ads, provide users with a photograph provides, a lot of information about title.
Your price store name and a lot more. Okay. And it also gives you details like free delivery. As we can see.
In this example. So this is how shopping at works. So let me quickly move to a tricks for search engine marketing. It is very important to understand the Matrix and we are talking about Google ads.
These are the tricks that I am looking at their Impressions impression share or just clicks, cost-per-click convergence click-through rate or spur conversion quality score. At position view-through, conversions, etc, etc. So let's quickly understand Impressions when impression is counted each time, your ad is shown on the search result page or other sites in Google search Network. So it is pretty straightforward.
So this is the Google ad interface, where we can see how many impressions are there to. The next point is impression share, so it is a competitive Matrix. So impression share is great us with a Parisian like, is the number of impression that an ad receives Guided by estimate number of impression that were available to, let's take an example of Josh Furnitures here. So let's say my daily budget is like just thousand rupees, okay, and / costly case.
Like click-through rate is like hundred rupees curse cost-per-click. Like within very soon I am exhausting my number of clicks and number of Asians so if I would have increased by budget, probably about the whole day, I would have got thousand Impressions because of various reasons, I only got a hundred Impressions and 10 clicks. So my impression share is 10% prescient share. It shows the opportunity, an Advertiser has, in terms of reaching out to the audience, it also reflects the performance of your ads and it also gives you performance of the competitors our lives.
So you know, like Adjust Furniture. I know that I'm just getting an impression share of 10%, but other competitor share. Other competitors are getting 50% of patients here. So they are in front of the Target, customers five times more than me.
This is definitely a point to ponder, right tool. Again, it will depend on target settings, approval, status and quality score. If the quality score goes down a as a Advertiser can lose on Freshen shares as well. A matrix second.
This one is pretty straightforward cost cost is shown across various levels. It is shown or keywords for ad groups for campaigns and at account level. First need to look at costs at every single point of time to know how we are doing ideally. The cost would have been on the lower side but actually it is a function of how big a pain reaches.
Probably the better data to look for is picks and cost per clicks. What is clicks? We all know, like will be all you have clicked ads in Google ads, right? So clicks, signifies user interests. When users is see something on, let's say, Google text ads or display ads or wherever whenever so that they look skim through all the data. They look at the organic search results, to look at the paid search results, The one, which applies to them.
Most the one that connects with them more click that. So if a user is clicking on the add, it means user has found the ad relevant and wanted to know more about the product, or service can take data is available at all levels, at keyword level ad group level, Campaign, level and account level. And it helps advertisers in deciding the ads are creating required engagement and Only the higher, the click is the better. It is TTR next metric to look for is to rate or CTR.
So, click through rate is the ratio that loads number of users who click the ad versus number of users who saw that. So simple terms it is the number of clicks divided by number of impression. And if City are, is a very important metric to look forward to because it is the CTR, which direct impact on quality score. So the higher, the city are is Google.
Will know that your ad is very relevant. People are clicking it, so it will probably start providing a higher quality score your ads. Symmetric cost per click, the important metric, it is calculated by dividing, the total cost of campaign. The code total number of clicks it received or if you are looking for a key word at keyword level is like total number of total dicks.
It has rich. And total amount it has which has been spent on that particular keyword. We should understand that per click should as marketers, we should always try to optimize the cost per click the cost for Cliff. Could gradually go down to a lot of factors such as ads landing pages.
Geographic targeting etc, etc, is used for optimizing and reduce city are the next factor is Convergence, is predefined action for example. People if is an e-commerce site and you are your put up mail Gateway and finally, you want the user to pay at the end of the transaction at is considered his conversion in case of e-commerce. Probably it case of normal lecture product or service website, it can be as small as a phone call. Also, it can be as small as a form.
Philip also need to Define convergence properly and will Look at conversion data for upper optimization. Next data is cost per conversion is the total cost incurred. The campaign by the total number of conversion generated, for example, in a campaign chair ran for a week. If I got total hundred fifty leads spending 10, 000 rupees, then cost per conversion would be and 60 divided by 10, 000 which is sixty six point six, six piece.
So cost per conversion is very important because I believe it will give me the ROV of the campaign over the cost per conversion. The better arrow is quality score. I have already explained quality score it is a aggregate score comes on a scale of 1 to 10, and advertisers are always on the lookout, optimize quality score. It depends on expected, click-through rate, add relevance and landing page experience.
Add position toward depending on your ad rank. Your ad position is calculated, position is available the keyword level. Now Google has gradually started not giving that position solution cost per mile. It is a display ad metric is like when Advertiser is only charged when ads appear in front of 30 user thousand number of times, two thousand Impressions.
So CPM method of building is mostly used by an Advertiser. When detective is brand awareness, which I had already explained the publisher arms, Revenue to Superior methods as well. And the visibility here is to improve the ability. Let's start with Google AdSense.
Google AdSense is an ad Network term by Google to which side Publishers in the Google ad network of content sides, third different kinds of ads like text ads image ads, video ads, interactive, media eggs, targeted to the target audience of the advertisers, the advertisements are administered dotted and maintained by Google, so They can read can generate revenue on the paper. Click paper impression. Just basically Google AdSense is the ad Network which provides monetization way. For millions of sites in the world to AdSense is a participant in the ad choices program, AdSense ads, would typically include triangle-shaped at choices eigen.
So, this is how you turn. She ate like a display ad or a text ads in Display Network. It would have a triangle with the eye. And a choices will be written there and sends requires, an Advertiser to submit a sealed beat.
So, basically, a sealed bid is a bid, which is not observable by the competitors. Additionally or any given click received. Advertisers only pay for one bid increment above the second highest bid. So Google has made, it made it system.
So transparent, if you say that max amount that you are willing to pay a hundred rupees will not pay you a hundred of these. So, based on a complex calculation, Google will calculate a kind of competitors are there, which is applicable for both for search ads and AdSense as well. And Google will Just one increment bit above. Second is bit Google.
Currently shares 68 percent of the revenue generated by AdSense with content, Network partners and 51 percent of the revenue generated by AdSense. With first Partners will understand the details of it. Before moving to the next slide, you have to understand that Google AdSense is not the only ad Network. The world Essence is the biggest ad Network in the world.
With over over 11 million websites, using AdSense them. There are multiple number of websites or ad networks available or the monetization of your websites. Some of the notable names are four links or her Avenue hits. Lydia why Our Thrive media dotnet new metric, Como ads killer.
So basically there are a lot of them and every grid here, new ones, keep popping up. So let's understand what are the types of ads which Google AdSense. Provide first one is content, second is search or is video and forth is link units. So let's proceed to the details, okay? First, let's understand what is content for AdSense.
So content-based, advertisements can be targeted for users with curtain impressed or context of these ads which are shown in the Google Display Network. It is based on Julie, two things. There are what content is there in your website based on the keywords of your website, which is called context? And this is called contextual targeting. The candy is the users interest might have seemed that when you That was the websites.
You see a lot of ads in various web sites depending on your interest areas. The targeting can be either cost-per-click or cost per thousand Impressions which is called CPM. See, pc-based targeting is most, common is applicable for Google search ads as well. And this is applicable for the AdSense Network as well.
Add can be simple, text ads, the image ads, it can be Animated images. It can be flashed videos and the videos. It can be rich media ads. And we'll to the number of ads for page previously.
Google AdSense ad, put a restriction. We can only put p @m a single page, but for the time Google has realized that the competition is increasing. So the mentioned, there are a lot of competitor websites and they provide a lot more percentage of the revenue. Also, And they're not put any restrictions fencing.
That competition, Google remove this previous restrictions of P acts per page. Also will allows Publishers to receive sixty eight percent of the revenue recognized by Google. Okay guys, let's see the example. So, Economic Times, I always browse economic insights, on a daily basis and laptop is giving me problem, and I was posing for a lab.
Top in Google search and bingo. Welcome to economics, economic time sides. I am seeing ads from Lenovo and it is prompting me to buy a laptop recently. There was a sale conducted by Amazon, I'm sure lot of a lot of you people put up robots from it.
So you can see a Geo. She's a competitor, they picked up. I have browsed Amazon side tap on for the Amazon sale, so they are showing me an ad. and that you can see in this example, Next, let's move to search.
This one is pretty easy. This this is like similar to Google search. This kind of search is happening inside a website. So basically AdSense for search, allows Publishers display ads, click ting to search terms on their websites.
So, let's, let's take an example of a side for example, Economic Times. Okay, so Economic Times, says, thousands and thousands of pages Right, so let's say, let's say, you want to see, you want to search for a news on done, Gujarat slot, or something. So when you search, there is a probability that if they have opted for this, kind of adds the site, the search results you'll see some ads. Just remember here search results, will provide the links from your own website.
Only it won't won't give you a third third party. Link. So you basically, your users will be inside your website, not going anywhere. They will see ads to Publishers receive 51 percent of the revenue recognized by Google.
So this is like you're not doing anything. You have to decide, you have built your hard work, your created a lot of quality content image and all put our search function in your when your website and Start getting an extra income. Oh, if the site has already built-in search functionality, but a site have that right? They already have a built-in search functionality to Google AdSense provides us a custom search ads, which can be added to show search ads, next to your search results tentatively, if you do not have a custom search engine, but if you do not have a search engine embedded, Google AdSense give use gives you a custom search. Can be added to your site where readers can search the side and see targeted ads.
Okay, let's move to the next slides. So here here it's an example from a good site, called parenting. com to decide parenting. com one perspective.
Parent, or when current parent of source for baby bottles to he or she has got some organic search result at this place. Below and ads by Google is displayed in a box and it is highlighted properly. Okay, let's move to the next address. That is video ads.
AdSense for video allows Publishers with video content, generate Revenue using ad placement from Google's extensive advertisement network. If the remember one point here of the vid like you are showing a video ad. Displayed, it has to be tonight, Li hosted in Google YouTube channel. Okay? So let's understand what are the types of ads which are displayed alongside your video content so it can be video content.
It can be overlay ads, it can be full slot sets. So let's understand what kind of video ads can appear beside your video content, a video ad can appear for In between or after a video content. So like when it comes before, it is called three roll, and it comes in the middle, in the middle columns, it is called mid-roll. And when it comes at the end of your video, it is called post roll.
Okay? If you are, we can see the standard non skippable videos and the day will come in the format's pre-roll mid-roll ad, post, roll it. Then there are prove you Videos, which can be skipped after 5 seconds. So these kind of videos and be shown alongside our existing video content. The can is overlay ads.
Overlay ad is a test image or a rich media creative at usually Afters over the bottom. Third of the. Can you see the image? It is pretty clear light. I am sure you would have linked these ads on a daily basis.
Port 20 is a bit tricky. This is called Full slot. So full slot ads are ads, image, ads or rich media creatives at appear for on pause. After the content, the trick here is users need to toast.
This ad for continuing to the, your content, or next video, which is there is a difference here. So let's let's proceed to the next step of ads that is linked units. Units are closely targeted to the interest of your users because users directly interact with the ad unit. May be more interested in the ads.
They were eventually. See. Let me quickly show you what a link unit looks like sure. You would have seen is Too Tall, so we see that there is AD choices.
Come here. To differentiate an ad from a generic website content, coming back to the link units. Access Publishers are paid for clicks on the ads and ads on the linked page are pay-per-click will ads similar. To those shown in regular actions ad units.
So basically this is like a text ad individual text ads created into a unit and as Point link and Are responsive by default. Allow you to support a wide range of devices and now it is ADS. Can come in any devices, it can come from computers and laptops phones, tablets and there are multiple screen sizes. There are multiple resolutions to by default.
Google has made ads are responsive and will have to remember one thing here, that Google Now Not disclose how much it is for a link units. Let's understand how, how does Google AdSense work? So it's actually pretty simple. I'm sure you would have, I'm a few would have died installing issue, like initially, like installing Google analytics code to basically it is a JavaScript code, which has to be put to the website. So, webmaster, or publisher time is the side, which is willing to participate in AdSense program, research, the AdSense, JavaScript code to the website.
And bingo, it works start working from that point each time, the page is visited by an end user device, script code fired and it fetches content, like switches right ads based on either text of your website or interest of the users and start showing ads. It is as simple as that. Contextual advertising system, scans the website for keywords and returns advertisements to the web page based on these keywords advertisement. May be displayed on the webpage or we also played as a pop-up ad For example, the user is viewing website pertaining to sports.
Like I am sure you must be using a lot of cricket websites. So when you are using this website, you must be seeing a lot of advertisement related to sports Innovative company. For example, our Sports good sellers or other sports websites, etc, etc. Actual advertisement also called advertisements are in context I personally take here.
Extra lines are less irritating. Traditional advertisements is why it influences users, more effectively shows users. The area of expertise of area of Interest or expertise of their eldest increases the chance of receiving a response. Let's understand like, how do we get paid? How do Publishers get reducing Essence? So, AdSense payment cycle is monthly Publishers act through accumulated earnings over the course of someone and then at the beginning of the following one there are names are finalized and posted as balance on the payments page.
The balance exceeds payment threshold and there is no payment holds positions will be true. The payment between the 51st and 26 of the month. So let me example, let me give you an example. Let's say Josh Furniture start displayers using Google AdSense, they accrue limited earnings throughout the month of July.
Okay, let's say the payment threshold for their account is a hundred dollars which is of default for a lot of for the month of July will all be calculated. It will be accrued in August 3rd will see there. Bly month, finalized total earnings irritate to their AdSense payments page. So, it is not credited to the account.
It will be credited to their payment stage, if that amount, as on more than $100. So it has, if it has increased above their threshold amount and therefore, will get Josh furniture will get a payment for their July earnings and any other credits, the lump sum Payment even around August 21st. Also, accents would need information about your tax information, your personal identification. Do this and address to also need to select a payment method.
So these are the different payment methods that sense has been very lenient here depending on different countries and rules of the different countries. Are they have? They use various methods like peppermint The Chronic fund transfer? Wire transfer, Stan Union, Quick Cash, Kappa de and f t. So also we need to remember that depending on what method you select and depending on what method is available in various countries, will it might again, take some time in getting this payment. So let's understand the do's and don'ts.
What should we do to maximize our AdSense income West Point produce, good quality content Attracts in gauges users to provide good user experience, it and maintain a Content calendar around a theme. If your site is into fashion, blogging eating the theme, not add random new topics for the sake of such profitable keywords, or engaged for etc, etc. The stick to your theme. Definitely it will still get good results over time.
So let me move to the next Point. Follow. A Google webmaster and AdSense guidelines. So this point is actually applicable for all the website owner.
If it is not for AdSense users to Google webmaster guidelines, clearly asked you to create good content for people, the people not for search engines. So ask webmasters covered things like Using automatically generated content participating in link schemes creating just with link little or no, original content. Also methods like cloaking Mickey think sneaky redirects in the website thing hidden text or links in the website using doorway Pages, script content. And the list goes on basically website owners.
We should always stick to these guidelines. We should never use. Any unnatural ways to get some traffic access guidelines. Also, essentially tell all the same thing, also tell not occur with AdSense codes if our SEO checklist ready.
So, this is again, this is important for all the website owners. I like, I because I have mentioned that I have a couple of websites on my own. So I have always kept your checklist, ready? Some of which points are directly on top of my mind, Like setting up Google search console. Installing Google analytics setting up Bing webmaster.
Tools thing here, never forget. Bing remember, Google is only seventy six percent of the search press 24% belongs to different search engine. So we're ignore Google coming back to SEO checklist setting up in webmaster, tools submitting, similar height map. To search engines, Superior robot.
txt file use Richie Rich Snippets if the URL SEO friendly type. Long-form content include Emily keywords in the first paragraph focus on, maintaining your density and the list goes on. I don't really need to tell all the list to you here, you can easily create one for yourself or search for a good one. A lot of tights are available in the internet which gives which Give you a free one but Point keep an eye on a Spur.
Click alarm, I think a keyword research so it is commonly believed that effect is directly proportional to money in blogging. This is not accurate. In terms of AdSense advertisement reason for this is so many factors which can affect your AdSense incomes, some of them are for ad placement, which is very important but I'll just go traffic sources. Has and most importantly, the AdSense cost per click.
So if you are using keyword research for your website, keep an eye on the cost-per-click factor, I use sem Rush as a tool and I would highly recommend using the brush tool by choosing some key words, which have high CPC. I'm not saying that. Just go around go and choose only high-paying, if we see keywords for people a keyword. First thing, according to the first one, it should be as per your imp for your site Keem.
Secondly you should select some of the profitable keywords. Okay next Point recent match print formats. This is also very important Point too many site owners that I have interacted with simply used images because they believe and this is also one of the myths of AdSense ad major It's work better from my experience. Give me is not like that.
I advised, the site owners use all types, like we have covered the different type of Hearts II at else, right, since for search, then links based ads and videos. Videos are generally out of purview for us but then we can easily use AdSense for search and I am Sign of ourselves for salt because not only helps you monetize your content. It also helps with user navigation so user can find the right content in your website. If you put a search functionality website, there's some Pro tips for WordPress website owners, so I'll quickly browse through it.
It is protein and it was written recently sitting down with one of my friends who is a site owner Ria's, very good traffic in his website, we found these points out will Commence using 720 x 7, 28 into 90, that is leaderboard image at unit above the fold homepage and below the main navigation bar. So depending on the page length of these are for the homepage pending on your page. Like if the page length is good, use a vertical ad unit of same size as different ad units like the 160 cross six hundred or 200, 250 medium rectangle in your sidebar. Oh, your blog page again.
Press, you website owners are deciding on their blog. So it's very important for them is E36 crossed 2LT. Large rectangle ad unit the top of the article who's a similar ad unit at the end of post for the comment section. Similar to the homepage, is a skyscraper or a medium rectangular and unit and the sidebar.
So these are prototypes a very important for you. Is important to understand don'ts rather than dues. So now that we know that do you need to understand the don'ts first ever, ever try to compensate users or third-party players for viewing ads, performing searches Google will do know that you're doing it and there is a high probability that your site and your account is banned in Courage, never ever encouraged users, click Google ads using phrases. Like if the ads or support us, never try to draw user attention.
The ads using arrows are some graphical gimmicks. Never tried to place. Miss lady images, alongside individual ads, Basically I had units should be very clear that you do unit. Should Clearly say these are ads.
So this anything nearby blue not gonna like it. Never Place ads in a floating box grip will does not like it. This has to be avoided at all costs. Never try to format your ad so that they become indistinguishable from other content on that page your site and add to have some gaps like Google.
Sometimes sale, is that it is should be at least 15 pixels. So never try to mix things. Never try to make an ending in distinction. It will try to format side content so that it is difficult to distinguish.
Shit from ads. So it is the reverse way to be any, which way you do it. Google will not liking it, never try to place misleading labels above Google ad units like ad units can only say they are considered ads or are paid ads. Units cannot be labeled as favorite sites or today's top of hours, something like that, won't work, click on your own, Google AdSense, not of to go to AdSense.
Them will see a lot of site owners complaining about this that I am banned from Google AdSense and and one of the major reasons is the that do not get any Revenue to get frustrated, The Click their own ads and you're gone believe me guys. Google is very, very serious about its policies once you get banned, very difficult to reinstate your account then if you recreate the account, It will have a very high probability that it is going to be banned and the same applies for Google ads as well. So never try to fool around with Google ads, or Google AdSense, not use automated, click impression, generating tools, like reports are deceptive software. Give me guys.
There are a lot of black hat things available in the market. Not try to use that. Google knows and you know, Google is the Big Daddy, they will definitely know that you are using some of Dr. Method success, and you will be and forever.
Okay, let's move to matrices. Now, first metric is at request and request is counted whenever your site requests and displayed. It is a number of AD units that requested ads for Content ads, for search queries for search ads. Ad reports will add request ourselves, Reports, an ad request each time.
A request was sent even if no words were returned. Let me quickly explain your this. So, let's say you have a page, you have a Blog Page and you have put e ad units there. So p is the number of AD requests based on spend some different criteria, like, based on your content.
Based on the data, Google has about visitor will will return you number of ads. So, it will depend on a lot of things. So if some pure, if the user is browsing, your website at 2 a. m.
in the night, some people might have put any restrictions, also some advertisers. So, depending on a lot of things might be able to show three ads can be 0 or 1 as well as point is AD request. Coverage of range is the percentage of AD request that returned. At least one at the me speaking average can help you identify side.
But our sense is not able to provide targeted ads. Formula for average is and request that return ads. So in the previous example, if one of the three slots, only one slot, displayed an ad. So this is why I'm divided by 3 200.
So if two ads are shown on that page out of three slots, it is 66. 67% If you have a search box or edge of 80% would mean, an average of one query, out of the five show out of the file not show any. I hope I'm clear about it. Poor coverage this.
I'm at Google was not able to provide ad suitable for your page and returns with did not return any. As at request it, ER, to lock clicks CTR is click-through rate to add request. Click through rate is the number of add x divided by the number of and requests a simple. If you received seven klicks out of thousand, ad requests to Ctrl + 7 percent I could request RPM.
It is revenue per thousand Impressions so ad request Revenue per thousand Impressions, calculated by dividing, your estimated earnings, I number of AD request you have made multiplying it by thousand. For example, if you earned an estimated $60, from 15, 000 ad request, for ad request RPM would be like sixteen sixty dollars divided by And in 2000 which is total four dollars. It's pretty simple number of times, a user clicked on a standard content tag cost per click in this simple and important. Matrix amount, you earn each time, a user clicks on your ad.
You can see is calculated by dividing the estimated Revenue by the number of X received. I mean, again, Rick forward number estimated earnings for a Publisher's, put that very recent numbers. Can be a little problematic. You can in your dashboard, you can see your recent earnings up to yesterday Preston's.
So this is it looks like a simple one but this is an important one. Impression is counted for each ad requests are at least one ad had bigger. One to download the user's device is a number of AD units for Content ads or search queries, for search ads, and loaded adds a very important Point here to note is if there are told you right, there are a lot of AD networks, they are available who maintain a standard are. There are standard bodies like the interactive entertainment view, you choose IAB of the media rating, Council MRC.
Do a lot of research on this trip. They do a lot of periodic reviews update industry, standards for impression measurement. They also recommended by guidelines over time the standard for counting and AD impression on the web has evolved from counting and impression to the ad is served counting an impression when and starts to download on the user's device. So there is something called a served impression there is Thing called it downloaded information, compression, CPR ratio of impression that resulted in the clear straightforward.
Okay, let's move to managing Google ads. So these are the steps for setting up a search campaign. So this is generally first step for each campaign, not only for paid campaigns many campaigns. First step is generally to identify measurable goals.
Once we identify mirror. Will goals, we move forward and in case of SEO and PPC campaigns, we move forward for the keywords in case of a paid campaigns. The second step is like identifying key words, structuring them into proper campaigns and AD groups is very important. M8, perfect ads for your Target.
Customer, important Point here, is he, the Target customer and and you are while you're measuring your goals. You need to understand your target. MERS perfectly. So kind of searches.
They are doing what kind of sites, they're browsing come. See you crack all these details. You are good. In will add both point to view the results and make changes if required.
Okay, let's move on to identifying the measurable goals. These are some of the common Bulls at I identify pulse can be much more tricky are complexes. Let's keep it simple for the discussion. This can be like to number of business leads required from a paid search campaign, can be a number of revenues to be generated from a paid search campaign, for e-commerce campaigns or visibility campaign, this can be total amount of traffic to be generated forth for app campaigns goals.
Can be total, number of app downloads or in-app actions. Let me quickly move to the first first point as we discussed is identifying the keywords. So Google has give him a wonderful tool for free is called word planner, the Keyword Planner, once you identify the goals, you start searching, Google gives you the stool. You can as many searches in these tools.
Just have to search terms. You can find a dog ruffy. So if you are targeting United States, you can put us for targeting India. You can India if I'm creating a campaign specific for Bangalore, I can put Bangalore.
So once you do this you'll be able to see the keyword search volumes estimated cost per click and so on and you will be able to get an idea like how much approximately you are going to spend ad manager. At just Furniture is searching for terms like by Office Furniture online. I Garden Furniture online by garden furniture, by Furniture online, and Report data. Google is giving.
He has put location as India. Could have been narrowed down. It could have been ignored or Chennai, or, or narrow roads. So that once they are putting this data, they are getting average monthly searches competition.
It can see. Clearly see the competition is very high and because they're they've already not started, the ads that impression Shares are not shown and can also see the top of the page bid in the low range and higher range before by this furniture online course, Furniture knows that they have to spend something like Rupees to be rupees 10, what all details it will depend on. It will probably depend on their desk or and address. Let me move to campaigns important is the first structure, okay? Like I generally take this approach to Champions according Network to Graffiti, right? Segmentation ductile and probably many other details.
So I'll give an example as Furniture telling chairs and tables in Bangalore and Chennai to look at the data point, it's a Furniture Company. It can get sell chairs, it can sell tables, it can sell a Dentures, it cancelled garden furniture, it can sell bedroom furniture. Different set of keywords different locations Bangalore. And Chennai, also have like can select standards of display ads depending on that.
You can select first first approached wish to, he attacked good campaign structure for the search ad campaign for garden furniture for Bangalore to choose one. Keyword theme choose one location and choose one network. Search Network, keyword theme which is garden furniture and location. Bangalore ETA of create a campaign first fit, a million full name, start working, start optimizing similarly, create a display of discrete one for his players as well.
Once you master the structure for the next campaigns, you just need to load up in settings, I have highlighted here. No need to add the campaign setting free time. You can just load your campaign settings comes ad groups very important point. That groups are part of like the ad campaign and yeah they are part of that campaign they help in recognizing the ads by common theme so if you to select garden furniture you can again go granular.
So it can be like garden chairs it. Regarded tables can be something else to my advice here. Go as granular as possible. Select very tightly themed ad groups.
Whose two, three? Four. Words. Max. Do not go beyond level create a gifted ads.
For those keywords. At the ad group level bidding is done to control the ads display. Let's move to the next curve. Next Point ad copy Creation in probably the most important.
I mean, for dads and similarly, for this players. So for time, constraints, I have taken example of text ads. As you can, as you can see a text ad ad copy, there is a final URL is a headline one, which is 30 characters, headline to 30 characters. Had line 3 is 30 characters to be noted here.
Line 3 has been recently introduced may or may not show who line one and had nine to will definitely show. Depending on the devices depending on various other points. These actors will show there is a distillate path, which is like your website name /, @ 1 / path to. So for example, in case of Josh Furniture, it can be tossed, Furniture, shop.
com, last garden furniture. And there is description one, which is 90 characters and description to be 90 characters. And when you type things here will show you reviews And for desktop, second four miles, effectively, reach your potential customers straps should be very specific levent are active and empowering. Some of the good practices that you can follow can highlight the differentiating factor first You can you include at least one keyword? So remember aside your ad group, there are three, four, five, six, keywords, you can choose to go very Broad and even put Tiki words, do you know II think they should yet? Uh, NAD.
A 22 words. Do you be able to Jude but Justice know, right? So that is why I told you. If the things tight them, you theme maximum 2. Three, four, keywords, five keywords for ad group.
Include your call to action, like by Mao or call us. Now, visit our store. Good point glued prices. Promotions, exclusive else, excellent.
If Point, make sure the ad text matches with the landing page, push a button, point be covered this point. Whatever is your add a leg whatever is the term which is creating your ad to the keyword text and the landing page to the all be on the same page. They should speak the same language. Make sure your ad, extensions compliment your ad copy.
Wow. Seeing them explain to add extension of additional pieces of information such as additional links from your website before numbers Stellar reviews becomes a part of your advertisement on Google search ads. What do they do? They actually have more real estate but adding an ad extension, the size of your ad increases and you know, size does matter, right? So in the side, aisles of the ad increases users would most likely to notice. It more click on these ads, but there are some examples shown you here point, you can use extensions store on your business goals.
Very important point, if your goal is to get customers to buy from your business location. If you want people to get, if you want to direct your direct your Customers to your store or restaurant or any other place, you can use location extension, the important point. So apart, from location extension, there is something called affiliate location and potential. For example, our PR Company and I'm creating my ads for my individual dealers.
Okay? So I'm just trying to facilitate them it. So instead, like I cannot give Kia Motors. Address there. So I create affiliate location.
I'll give the address of noisy motors which is a Kia Motors Christ dealer and I can give the question example. second point is allowed extension and additional text to your ads. Free delivery, 24×7 customer support etc. Etc.
I can type of goal. If you want your customers to contact you by four people use call extension for Google. So had a text message option but there is not there anymore. But goal customers to convert to your website.
Basically, if you want people to visit your website, you can use cycling extension cycling case like, you can pick two or four site links to that people can come to your website. Directly example, you can give your hours or order. Now direct link can be given 10. Callout extension, add additional text to your ads, like free delivery 24×7 Much support have subtracted, then there's an advanced concept called structured Snippets.
The structure separate will also be extra information on your product or service category. Also, there are price extensions and not available in all the countries. If your goal is to get people, download your app and pretty simple use app, extension becomes ad scheduling at scheduling allows you to set some themes throughout the a day when you want your ads to run specific hours for each day. For example, you can use the ad scheduling for specifying certain number of hours or days of the week when you want to show your ads.
For example, I am a restaurant and I want to give don't attract people near. I want to attract office errors Fisk or smear my restaurant. My restaurant. I will do is like I quite much more importance during the lunchtime or the afternoon time when people go and meet other people.
So I'll put my in location extension. I'll put my attention to the details the right time. Surely you can also go a step further and set adjustments, increase or decrease Your bids for specific days and it's amazing, right? So by default will ad campaigns are set to show ads all day till you do not touch. Your scheduling part is set to all day version tracking.
Probably one of the most important points. It is again a free tool provided by Google ads to you and specify the actions which are important for you example whether they're buying a product or Signing up for your newsletter that they are calling your business or downloading your app pending on finding your, on your business goal. You can set it up. Oh, when a customer completes an action as of defined as a converging at the, you can see the details of convergence.
I suggested method here used Google analytics, conversion tracking methods. And for that you need to link your Google ads with Google analytics. Let's quickly understand how we do that. You can Google ads to Google analytics, the important Point probably is the first step you should take in order to view Google ads data inside, Google analytics account.
And vice versa, basically two different accounts. One is Google ads, and there is Google. Takes account, we need to eat them before linking them. First step is to enable auto tagging in Google ads device.
The data may not put correctly between two forms. And remember, the, the platform's have two different ways to collect this data to, we need to be very careful here and analytics. As for the screenshot, I think you can see the screenshot go to, to your eye. Admin view to properties and do your Google, add links.
And next steps are pretty self-explanatory. I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Once you link your Google analytics account with your Google AdWords account, and you can view ads data inside analytics. So you once it is linked, you go to Google Analytics.
Go to the overall view, you go to the acquisition part, go to browse to the Glad fat, then you see, go to the campaign's, you will be see, you will be able to see the clicks data, the cost data as per click data, how many users, how many sessions whizzing part pulse rate is per session. These are all Google analytics a direct. You cannot see this data in Google AdWords once you link Both the properties will be able to see the of the data inside in one window. Similarly, you can see your shopping data are displayed getting data.
I have not shown it here, you can see it even analytics data in Google ads. It is the reverse one. Now that you have your able to see the AdWords data in analytics, will want you to know that you can also the reverse thing Apart from the usual AdWords data. Like append data, budget, status clicks impression tpr.
That is true rate average, CPC can also see analytics details inside your AdWords. These are arranged with its Pages for with it. Sent a new visits etc etc. Bounce rate is very important.
It your full attention here, multi-channel funnel report is very Very important in analytics. Conversions, and e-commerce. Transactions are credited to the last campaign. So it is a default attribution analytics is set to last step that you user did while converting attribution to by default is revisions is set to The Last Action.
So probably it is the Search. Last did I add by default? It will be shown like that what role did are website referrals purchase or a display in that convergence we need to understand that how much time passed between the users initial interest and his or her purchase we need to understand in order to understand the user funnel out the user move booths from Top of the funnel to bottom of the funnel. It is very important to understand that we need to see. Okay, first time the user came to my site using a paid ad.
Probably he or she came directly and converted or probably, they came my website or using paid search and do some display campaign reconverted. So, in this report went to all to check this report are UPS given That two losers. Come first, they have come via paid search like text ads and all they have come by a display ads to users who have come via paid search. Then they have directly to the website and convert it and to our e-commerce site and if you have installed e-commerce, a properly, will be able to see that how much version value.
It got normal users, the values will be 0. So let's come to the last Last step of our discussion is optimization very important Google Google AdWords, most important point is like in continuous stimulation and how do we do compete continue assorted Dimension. First point is for keywords. We need to check keywords status.
Always other keywords are are all of them eligible are all of them. Performing properly is a performing properly. Are above all of them, getting good through rate. CTR is high or not, the bids other underbid like the the top field bid is higher impressions are counted.
It is not getting X so we need to check all of this. Mmm. Need to go to search term reports on a regular basis. Whenever we whenever we need to analyze the search term reports, we will see a lot of negative keywords coming so we need to keep adding the negative keywords but our otherwise becomes better.
Click to review our Max cost per click. This is very important. Cost per click, the corresponding quality score and gradually improved for idea should be decreased the cost for be gradually. Basically if our monkey scores will improve our mascot will go down.
And of nuclear words in that you do need to come continuously use tools like keyword tools. So from the search report we will see a lot of new keywords which we'll use as Point, stout branded keywords and it keywords are keywords, which used your brand name. For example, Walmart, and America, people will Not remember, it will make our website, we'll just type A, do they occur and they will come to your, they will see our page. We need to bid on these as well.
Let's move to the next point and turn up campaign structure. The important point, a group will be tightly structured, it should have maximum two, three, four keywords, so that we can do a Justice to these keywords and stretch properly, caters to all these keywords. So tell me what happens when we start our campaigns, we are not particular to create a slightly broader groups. So yes, we had done that, nothing to worry about is always room for restructuring, keep reviewing the campaigns.
And so one point here, most of the time advertisers are under pressure, Okay, we need to give Eric ad campaign then one day or two days so initially we do not, we might not get time for a good ad structuring. I would recommend to do that them any time in the future can always go back to the same campaigns to restructuring. Split up, ad groups again. If you are ads, you need to add your grip reduced.
You Return to Those ads unit, continuously new ads, the first thing for any AD group, you should at least create 3 ad groups, at least for each ad group minimum three ads. You need to check out these ads are performing after getting enough clicks. Are they getting enough convergence? Are they getting enough Impressions? If some of them are not getting any Impressions, pause them. And add new ones, said, matching set matching is very important split again and again, your keyword a text and your landing page should all add a dynamic.
Keyword insertion took Google provides us an ugly tree or a group has four words, you can or five keywords or whatever, number of keywords, you can do curly brackets, and you can use Use Dynamic keyword insertion. So basically for all these keywords Brands will be triggered to your headline will show or your Google show. Never, There Is insert Dynamic insertion, good practice, I always do. That would also recommend your program that never do that if you use a lot of broad keywords, if that can clear your adults, sure to Delight the display URL.
Low-lying, fruit lot of advertisers for get Display URL. So you can use your keyword and you can use the important point in the display URL. Remember, it is still your people, your website is there are two are different fields of 15 characters each whose call to action. I've already cleaned this point for stand out from the crowd to have to do that by continuous experimenting.
And the most AP testing, I like your USP is again explained it before and attention with an amazing headline. Headlines are like, literally bolded to. You need to write an amazing piece of headline and practice which I generally follows. I am I to include a keyword in the headline.
I would also recommend you to that next Point, optimizing your website and landing page here. Instantly Test new, landing pages very important Point here. We'll put some dot has importance on speed. Google always improves, quality of pagespeed, the like will also give us a lot of important for mobile page speed as well.
You need to do that. Even if importance on page speed limit to constantly Test new landing page, you need to take care of to our ux issues. Make sure there are no bioethics issues. Bill does not like that.
Our Language and Cultural experts that aspects in mind. Time what happens is we do a lot of Charity writing. Like I have also done this in the past I have done the mistake created a campaign for us and UK. So I created a like same.
I used the same landing page and Lee. I use the same text blindly treat. No, no. But the country hear people speak English but way the December.
We have big hearts are different. We need to take care of these small aspects in mind. Most important point, the on-page fixing of adding pages. Do the SEO fixing of your landing pages properly.
Like tiling, proper lying tag. Title tag for meta descriptions signing proper image. Alt tags, etc! Etc! Demise, your ad extensions, add extensions, very example, I explained in detail, who's a Daxton extensions as per your goals choose, whenever appropriate, consider scheduling at extensions as failure of fish timing, or s for your tour, timing, or as for your customers convenience, Commision or ADD extension for performance, to do need to do that. Periodically, find your search a reviewer location settings.

First of all, you need to understand what is affiliate marketing. Secondly, you're going to be learning about some key terminologies of affiliate marketing, or how affiliate marketing works. And number for setting up affiliate marketing, as a merchant, we're going to talk about more in detail about merchants and affiliate and then setting up affiliate marketing as an athlete person. Now going ahead, our objectives will be do First of all, understand affiliate marketing and how does it work? And we will get to know the major players in affiliate marketing and how it works.
Learn how to setup and run affiliate marketing as emotion and understand how to monetize your website or a blog or even a social media channel using affiliate marketing. Now let's get into the first topic of the day which is understanding affiliate marketing and how we going to do that is we're going to do that by an example. Well, we all know about card Eco now, we are an imaginary character. In this particular case is planning to buy a new car.
Now, she is confused between two different models and what she does is she goes to guard, they could not calm, maybe compare it and get some guidance. That is how usual consumer goes and researches about a product now, moving ahead, she made check all the details and reviewed. All The details of the two or three options, whichever she was looking for on gardening Co and she made her choice. Now she checks all the offers which are available selects our nearest dealer and fills out a form with her contact info.
What is the business model for car? They go there. I mean they just simply took the lead and pass it on to the next company, which was in this particular case maruti. Now during the entire process, Carl Decker did not charge Priya. Anything for the service.
He was able to check reviews, she was able to check the features, she was able to compare all the cars. All of this was free of cost. So what is carnico actually doing? Why are they doing this for free? And, and the biggest question is, how do they make their money now? The answer lies in the next slide, which is the earn their money through affiliate marketers. Now let's go step by step.
Step into this and see that how it works. Now, the first of all the seller strikes, a deal with car, they co. com. Now about this Dean, we're going to talk about second car, they could not calm places, the sellers offer on the website now, Prius C's these offers and then she pulls out a particular form.
Now car the echo, what it does is either automatically or manually since the lead to the nearest seller. Now it could be a showroom as Well now seller receives the lead and makes a contact with Priya and let's assume the purchase is made. And even if the purchase is not made garnica. com earns a commission for a lead, the seller gives the car they cook commission for a lead or for a sale.
Now that is how car they could. com makes its money. Now, that brings us to the definition of affiliate marketing. In simple terms, a fleet marketing, is promoting a product in return for a commission on the sale.
Now, think of Affiliates as commission agents or just think about athletes as one of your Brokers and just like any real estate broker get some money whenever there's a sale done for a particular house. The same way athletes also get their commissions. Now after it Mouse marketing is an extension of Performance Marketing Performance Marketing happens within a particular company and affiliate marketing is dependent upon the people who are outside of your company moving ahead. Let's look at some of the key terminologies which I used in affiliate marketing number one, it is a merchant.
Now, Merchant also known as Advertiser or a seller is the product owner This product is being promoted and who sells the product. Now, in case of, let's say Amazon downward, for example, is not a product owner. The product owner at this particular point of time, because it is displayed on Amazon. Amazon is the merchant or an Advertiser or SMS moving ahead.
Now, while Merchant needs affiliate marketing, large e-commerce players, lack of critical piece of or Organic traffic or engaging content. Let's take a very simple example of camera. And let's take it as a product which has been displayed on a large e-commerce company. For example, an Amazon gift card.
Now the Amazons and the flip cards, have a difficulty in targeting the non-commercial, early-stage search traffic. Now the reason why I am telling you that is let's say you search for best cameras of with everyone and in that particular Case assuming Amazon's search result do not come up at the top but an affiliate website or a YouTube video or anything of that. Sort comes up there and then you find the links and that is how they get more traffic on their own website. Now, fda's will high quality relevant SEO.
Friendly content can actually fill in the Gap, exactly how it happened or in the case of the camera now, small Merchants like, Lack the resources and the market reach. And when you are talking about the sources, it could be a or it could be the lack of marketing budget. Now, Affiliates, provide the market axis that we teach and The Branding as well. Now, in this particular case, Affiliates are an extension of a marketing team and they start keeping the marketing cost in check.
Now, the merchants because they do not have an unlimited amount of money, like how large e-commerce is have They can always make sure that their marketing cost is in check. Moving ahead. How affiliate marketing benefits? The merchant. Number one, they get extra set of traffic without spending any money because traffic is not monetized.
Secondly, there is no risk advertising. That means you have to pay only. When someone buys the product number three, build the brand, especially for the new businesses. Assuming I'm a small-time, T-shirt maker, and somebody who's very famous a fashion model or somebody just post about that and post through our affiliate link.
Then in that particular case you will be able to get the business from us and they can build the bad for me. Now again, one of the great things about affiliate marketing is that you get a lot of bad feelings without doing any effort and the only thing which you will have to do Is that you have to pay once the sale is done, which is pretty much okay with almost any entrepreneur. Moving ahead. Now, let's talk about the affiliate affiliate or a publisher is either a site or a company or an individual.
That is promoting the product and gets a commission for each sale. They usually have a niche audience as I told you about the example of camera, is the best example here. Now, let's say there's a assuming there's a photography. com, and then they tell you about the best cameras for 2020 or 2030 one, they have a very Niche audience of just those photographers.
And that is what is the best part about being a publisher, or an affiliate. Now, why athletes need affiliate marketing because of that. Actually, there are millions of side that receive heavy traffic. But they do not have any product to sell now.
Soul in the same scenario. Some of them might not have large enough traffic, but have greatly really loyal visitors. Now ads is an effective monetization option when the page is views in millions. Now, any blog lets you start any block tomorrow, and if you have 200 people of 500 people coming onto your website on a daily basis, and if you try to put in ads, there it is not Going to give you a lot of income.
But again let's assume that you whole photography. com and again 500 people only are coming through it but one of them decided to buy a product from your website. Now in that particular case, you're going to get a very decent cut out of the sale which eventually is going to help you monetize your visitors. And also this gives you a source that your information on the website, whatever you are.
Tank is actually making sense. Moving ahead how affiliate marketing benefits the Affiliates. First of all you can monetize your project because if a person comes over to your website clicks on that camera, link goes ahead and buy that camera. In that particular case, I'm going to be monetizing yourself.
Secondly, it is more profitable than running ads. Now the reason why it is more profitable than running ads is first of all we know that That there are adblocker pop-ups ad blocking browsers, which are available now. So ads actually on, third-party websites are going down as we can already see it, then apply it becomes a better option in order to start making money on your website. Now, third thing is that you should have a better control of what visitors see.
And by whenever we are talking about better control over, what visitors see. And by that means You are putting the direct links of the products, you have giving a proper photo shoot, and you're doing all of those efforts and you have a better control of it because in cases of ads, you do not have a very good control that who will be advertising on your life. That is where a fleet makes more sense. Now, number 4 is that ability to offer custom deals to promote sales.
That is also one benefit which athletes. Get moving on. There are a lot of affiliate websites which are available now, if you want to see a review comparison website, we have already talked about, they could not calm, but if you are in to mobilize, you must have always heard about GSM Marie. Secondly, now there are some loyalty and reward websites as well because it just doesn't make sense for them.
So they want a more loyal customers coming onto their website. So every Time somebody buys anything from their website. They provide some sort of a loyalty points as well to those that they keep on visiting their websites by again from their affiliate links and so forth and so on. Now number 3 IO coupon website skupin Dunya.
Now what they do is that they provide you with a coupon code which might be available somewhere else as well. But once they give you that Google account, the a redirect you to the merchant website, number four, Or large media websites. It could be him assigned times. It could be Wall Street Journal, or anybody of those sort.
They are also doing the same thing because again, you have more control and you get a lot of money coming out of by doing the affiliate marketing and the last and not least our like blocks again as I told you about, let's assume your own photography. com and you're making those blogs and forums moving ahead. We're going to talk about the customer. Now, this is The end point of the cycle.
Now, customers are drivers of any affiliate marketing program. Basically, when a consumer buys a product or service, why an affiliate? The affiliate also gets a cut and the merchant shares the prophets and he gets the same. Now, this is how the affiliate Network or a platform works. And a flea Network, or platform is a third party platform that actually Acts as an intermediate lie between the merchants and the F.
Use the charge of fee for being a middle man. Now, think of it as one more layer in the graphs, which we saw before. And these are the people who actually manage your Affiliates. So there is a merchant is apnea Network and they will be multiple affiliate, which should be there within affiliate Network.
Now, here are some of the examples of affiliate Quite a platform. Now, first of all is commission. Then we also have calmly, we have shared a sale and we have two looks now, let's talk about athlete program. Affiliate programs are a type of athlete Network.
These are the programs which are said by large companies who want to get their Affiliates on board and to get more traffic to the website by reaching non-commercial or early stage search traffic. Now, just to give you an example, a fleet The program is something which has the fee structure. That how much are you is an affiliate, going to get? If he sells a particular product or a particular type of product or a product in a certain category, it could also include the basic operating procedure. That, how do you go ahead and make your own custom links and share it on your log or a website? And it does include the payouts When the payouts are going to happen now, how it works? Is that athlete program? Generates the traffic for the website and in turn gives the commission on the same.
Moving along some of the affiliate program examples are as follows. Now, Amazon Associates is probably one of the most popular athlete program, evil pattern network is also there, Shopify and Flipkart also owns a affiliate program. There are some other key The terminologies which you should be knowing about the fp8 market. Number one is free a percentage of sale or fixed amount which is paid to an affiliate.
Now p as I told you previously could be different for each and every company and could be different for each of the categories within a particular company or even to a certain level, you a product as well. Now, linked views is that how many times the product link was viewed on an affiliate? Site or a network. For example, assuming you are an associate and you put up a link for Amazon on your website. Now, how many times a person is clicked on that link and went over to the website? That is what is considered as linked views moving on clicks.
How many people went to the mergence side by clicking the affiliate link, and the for is our average order value. Now, size of the average order in INR, or Or any applicant currency earnings per click, which is your total commission. How much you have got within a time frame and total number of clicks generated by an affiliate in a given B be moving along. We're going to talk about how it works, how affiliate marketing works.
Now, first of all, in the first step, a fleet obtains, a Merchants product details and creatives sometimes. Directly from the merchant or from the affiliate Network. Number do affiliate uploads, the products or creatives with special length. It is also known as parameterised link that contains your affiliate ID so that the consumer visits and affiliate side and clicks on Merchants product or a creative or link anything.
Now the cookie or a code is sent on consumers browser, which identifies the merge Urgent affiliate, which is you in this particular case and the link moving on consumer is redirected to the merchants website. Now, whenever he goes to the website, then a fleet, identity is captured by the merchant URL. Moving on the consumer purchases from the merchant website. And cookie information is sent to an affiliate or affiliate Network.
Now, Merchants Auto transmits, the sales information to the Athlete Network, which includes the affiliate ID affiliate Network tracks, the sales and the transactions with matching to that affiliate ID, affiliate and Merchant reconcile the transaction and Merchant pays the affiliate directly. Now, if you are a company who wants to set up their own affiliate marketing, how are you going to do that? We're going to be talking about the same thing now. What are the basic requirements of a merchant? If you want to set up your affiliate Network, number one is that you should have a product to sell then. Secondly, you need a fleet platform number 3, you need to have an offer of fee that you will pay to the Affiliates number for you should have a very compelling product description number five.
If you have the creative such as banners, or images, or something of that sort, or a video anyway, To make sure that whenever you sending it out to an affiliate Network, it actually gets clicked and last is a sales pitch, that why should an athlete work for you? Because assuming, if you pitching out to load of Affiliates, then you need to endure them with something to be a high fee, or it could be a instant pay out, or it could be anything of that sort. Now, moving on the second thing, which you have to do, if you want to set up, your affiliate network is That you need to find your right. Affiliates. As a merchant, it is very critical to find the Affiliates that are in line with your right now.
What f is to have audiences that need your product, but this always should not be the same as your current set of customers. Why is that the reason behind that is that you're going to be giving the same free to those people. Who would have anyway, come over to your website and bought it from You number three, you want the Affiliates to have an in-depth understanding of your industry? However, they should also not be your direct competitor. Affiliates should get you sales but they should not be pushy.
Now, the third thing which you need to do is that you have to decide the fee. First of all, Affiliates, take a share of your profits just proved therefore, it is important to determine the amount of Revenue you want to share with the affiliate. It depends upon if you already have a certain amount of Affiliates or if you just trying to set up an app here that is how it's going to work out. It should be substantial enough to motivate an affiliate and leave you with your decent margins as well.
Number four, the pricing model can be chosen depending upon your business goals. Now you might pay out a lot of money in the very start if you're a very small company because they're saving you on your marketing budget. Let's see what a big company and you have the upper hand then, in that particular case your pricing model could be a little cheaper, you could be a little lesson fee and you can pay it and after a couple of months, so you have to decide on those particular fee processes. Now, there are multiple pricing models.
Now, the first of them is paper same, which is the percentage of the sale price of the product, which you pass it onto an affiliate. Then the second one is pay per click. This is not very much use now, but based on the clicks and traffic generated on the merchants website, number three, you have paper, leave, remember the first example which you saw are, they go. com? That could actually work out as a paper.
Eat. Number four, is pay per performance which is based on your pre-decided consumer action. Now it could be a download, it could be a referral or it could be anything else now. It's talk about the affiliate platform demo whenever you have a website of your own and you want to set up your own applet program, you can easily go to Sheriff's sale.
com and follow the steps to set up your merchant account. Now, in this particular step, what you can do is like set up the rules, set of the processes, set up, the fees set of the payout mechanism, and all of those details to start your own affiliate. Program and share a sale is a platform just for that. Now, moving ahead, setting up, affiliate marketing as an affiliate, that is what we are going to start to learn what Affiliates actually need their first of all, need a website with good content.
Now, in some cases, this could be also good account of a social media, which has a lot of following you need a large loyal audience. Now this again, could be a social media audience or could be a website audience as well. Number Three the most important step which you need to pass is the merchant approval in order to become their affiliate. Now, these approvals are based on multiple things that could be on your social media following.
It could be about what type of a website. Do you have? Is it secure or is it mobile-optimized? Yes, no. So all of these things Merchants makes and keeps the guidelines of in order to give you an approval to become an affiliate. Now, moving a head, let us Us assume that you have gotten the approval from the affiliate from the merchant.
Then in that particular case, your first big thing would be getting visitors on your website. First of all, you need to think very carefully. That where can you compete? Now, this could be an issue might be good at or this could be a niche, which is a market Gap. Now, once you do that research, you make a website on that.
You start putting content into that and then you start doing those FBI. No, moving ahead. You need to leverage social media to promote and build a community. Number three, you need to use your referral links which are there on the related blogs and the website.
Now, how that happens is that once you become an affiliate, you are given an axis and then you can create your own special links and you need to use those special referral links on your blocks. Number four, you need to join forums and start promoting your products. Their number five, you need to generate the Traffic to this website, but do not randomly push. The affiliate links, it will be considered as a Spam.
It's always a good idea. In terms of content marketing, you have already learned about it that it's always better to help the person rather than starting to push a person to do a certain action. You will 6 use ads if it is allowed or for your own brand but only after testing the conversions, Number seven, catch people early in them buying stage before they have decided to buy using your SEO again. This brings me back to the topic of photography.
com. If you have a Blog that says the best cameras of 2020, there are chances that you're going to be ranking on the SEO and once you're lacking on the SEO, you will be getting a lot of traffic. And in turn, a lot of sale and interns a lot of fee coming to you. Moving ahead.

I'll give you some case studies and how you could build your digital marketing strategies. So, why do we need a digital marketing strategy? Whenever you come online, you have a goal.
So it could be either branding or performance when we say performance, it could be sales, it could be leads. So imagine you have a clear sales Target in place for your website. So then the question comes, right, I need to be digital. I need to spend money online but then what should be my strategy? How should I spend it online, right? So what are the various elements in digital marketing? That's where this marketing strategy takes an important place.
So what is the digital marketing strategy? Any strategy is the plan. So similarly, digital marketing strategy is a plan to achieve your digital marketing goals. So when you doing branding, you your goal would be to reach the maximum number of people that probably the lowest cost, right? And reach them at a higher frequency so that could be in terms of running when you're looking at performance, right? So when you, if you looking at lead generation campaign, whether it's in the education side, Healthcare or financial services or even training online training any one of those, the board could be leads and leads at a lower cost, right? And then when you look at eCommerce, it could last Vida, sales sales that has low cost per sale as possible. You also have metrics like cost per acquisition cost per acquisition of a new customer.
So how to get started? So the seven steps as we Define how to get started with your digital marketing strategy, right. The first thing is obviously branding, you clearly Define your product. You need to think of, how do you want to position your brand? What is the message that you want to convey to the end-user about your brand? Right? Then go ahead and create smart goals. We want sales.
Do you want leaves? Or do you want? Do you want to increase awareness? So, that's how you define your goals will buy a Persona. Now, Who should we Target now? I have built the brand have identified the qualities of the brand, defined the qualities of the brand, but then I cannot show the ad to everyone and predefined by a Persona. So, how does my probable customer react? How does my probably customer act, who should be my probably customer. So, for example, if you are selling a bike, so, bizarre bike, right? Imagine they want to sell it online, they probably would not Target someone who is above 50 years.
Did target age group would be someone who is from 16 to 25 16 to 35, right? And Mary largely, right? So if you're selling a bike you considering scooter or a scooty, you may Target movement, it's not stereotypes. Let's be very, very clear, it's not stereotypes, but then it's all based on buyer Persona, right? So, a large part of my users of this bike, or of this category of this age group, this gender, and this from location. So, you also Define Which democracy, which location they are from, So a particular bike or a particular thing could sell more in in the South particular thing, could sell more in the north, you have your own data. So based on that, you build your buyer Persona.
Now the next thing is to choose the right marketing strategy. What should be a strategy that we're trying to create awareness for you? Trying to create sales? Are you trying to generate leads? So Define your strategy very well. So a large part of this fmcg Brands, like, you know, all these soaps or any of those when they try to leverage digital, they try to do branding. So, increase awareness about the features of the product to the customers, right? Increase awareness about the features of the product to the customer.
That's the most important thing for them. So you would always see them on YouTube video ads, right? You would always see them in Facebook, you'd also see them in Instagram and sometimes, you know, it Snapchat or any of these channels, they would do in large volume. Either main objective to reach maximum number of people at a lower cost. So, Define your marketing strategy, what is it? Is it branding? Is it saves or is it lead generation? Now, the next thing is once you have defined it how we allocate marketing budgets, the next thing is Define marketing, budgets and then allocate the marketing budgets to the right channels.
So today there are multiple channels, which are available And each channel has its own properties. So, for example, there is a Google search. You have all intact. So people already have the intent to take an action to a purchase.
So, when you want to drive sales or drive leads, right? So you do search on the other hand, if you look at Facebook or Instagram, or any of those Snapchat, any of these channels, right? So, there's not much of intent. So you do a push, but then that's also Drive sales in some cases that say that also drives engagement. So, you have different metrics, So based on those metrics, you define your marketing budget across various channels. If it's a financial services product, you would go ahead and do on money control, you go ahead and do in an economic Times.
And the next thing is launch your marketing campaigns. So you've done the plan, you allocated all your budgets, go ahead and launch it and keep track. And then there is a circular move, right? So once you keep track, you evaluate what the performance of each of these channels which had a better impact in terms of what your goals were and then you use that as a feedback. and then for the next month or next quarter, you realign your marketing budgets in the same direction in the same line as you know, based on you goes So key points to note.
Always second objective. Yes. Analyze your past efforts. They should all be, is should always be feedback? So that you constantly improve and then make this channel as a very effective channel, right? Because the thing is, the biggest limitation or the good thing, or the bad thing, with digital marketing is everything is tracked.
So everything is fact, it's just good because now, you know, how much of your budget got wasted because there is a theory, which says, 50% of a marketing. Budget has gone waste. The only limitation is, I don't know which one in digital mapping. You can clearly know which part of your budget has gone waste to a large extent.
Now, that's also a problem, how are you using that information to improve your campaigns in the future? So that's where this is a constant requirement for feedback. Use pass data, Data and try to improve future campaigns, right? So communicate the entire digital marketing space is very new to lot of advertisers, most of our senior staff in the industry have experienced offline advertising to the core. Right? And the good thing about offline advertising is if you do a OD UC the holding at that particular place. If you do a print ad, you see printed at that particular, place unlike digital advertising until and unless you take a roadblock, add on some of these top.
Persuader is economic Times, our money control or any of those, the senior manager would not see it. How do you then help him understand? So if you do a Google search ad, right? If you're running a Google search ad for someone, if you run out of budget, when the person's actually live in your book. When the boss sees the add, you add doesn't show up which also brings to the point. You have to constantly communicate, educate them, right? The advantages of the digital marketing, the limitations of digital marketing.
The more important thing is the limitations of digital marketing, right? So then last week, I'll make an effective plan as you have a detailed feedback loop input from multiple sources. You know, plan becomes more effective as you go along how to structure your plan. So first is have detailed plan, right? So, Define your reach. Whom do you want to reach? Who is your target audience and then how do you want to reach them? Which are the channels you want to advertise so that you reach your target audience.
So to give you a simple example, Snapchat, take example of Snapchat Snapchat, In India that's probably around 40 million users. But if you look at it, see Cricket the audience or users into various categories, 95% of them are in the age group of 16 to 23. You have this particular data point. So now if I am trying to reach people where both boys and girls or men or women in that particular age group, I added, I know Snapchat is the best tool based channel.
So when we say reach so you identify who you Want to reach. And the second thing is how you want to reach once you identify who you want to reach, you also know their buyer, Persona, their age, their demographics, their gender their location, then you identify the channel, the channel which helps you to reach this particular set of audience. Now, the next thing is go and act like this. Go ahead and execute your campaigns and then obviously you track your conversions.
So then engagement. So there is a research it says in the online space before any Takes action on a website, he has to interact with that particular brand either on their website or on multiple websites, which are not under the control for at least 80. Thanks, so engagement is the most important thing here. So, the more you engage the customer across multiple channels, either just with your presence or through your paid advertising the higher, the chances that the customer will come and do a purchase or take an action on your website.
So, engagement is very important, right? So that's how you build your entire digital marketing strategy. So, take an example, most of you have experienced this, right? You go to Mantra or you go to Amazon to do 10. You check out some products you see some 3/4 product, did not do any transaction. Now, you go to any other website where you're reading content, so you will see an ad Wilsonart which has six products, you'll see a banner and physics products.
So what are we trying to do there? One, we call that as remark. But then we are also trying to engage with the customer when you go to the website, you only have seen one or two products, but when you see the ad, you see, six products, or sometimes more than those. So what I have is on is trying or any e-commerce, retail is trying to show to the End customer. See, I have more products than what you have seen.
Forget sales. As a first point, the first thing you're staying because I have more products than you have actually seen on my website, which might be very useful to you very relevant to you. Some part of this budget, gets allocated to branding, some part of this budget is allocated to Performance. Ideally, it should be, but a large part of it gets allocated to Performance or sales.
So engagement is a very important metric. So how many times did the customer interact with our brand before taking any action? But how do you increase engagement for new customer? So he lands up on the page. If it's a lead generation, you cannot do anything largely. You have just the form before.
The customer can do anything. But if when you doing SEO, he comes onto your side. So you have to structure the page in such a way that the user visits more than two pages or more than three pages, when he's actually visiting your side. So how do you do it? So the content that is built the content that is developed would have a lot of internal links, right? So very very relevant topics to that particular product, the main product that he see the main content that is reading rights and then you send him to the next page.
So he reads more information. So, look at it this way, take an example, if you want to open a d-mat account in the financial services d-mat or take loans, for example, if you want to take a loan, you come to a particular page, you read about how to take, how to get a loan, you know, days alone from is bi, there's a loan from Citibank is known from any of these bags, right? But you have another question, what is the interest rate? So now another page is talks about interest rates, you will go visit the page on interest rates, get that information there, right? So now, okay, you're defining Interest rates know what are the payments? How do you pay? Do you pay at the beginning of the month? We pay rent of them are. So these are all a fake use several questions which people have, right? So there are how, what, why? Let's see if you're actually answering them. Interlinking, all of them were engaging, the customer mode, the more you engage the customer the higher, the chances that he will take an action on the side and higher the chances that our digital marketing plan, execution, become successful tactics to tackle the challenges that you face in digital marketing when you're executing the planet.
So what are the problems that you face? When you, what are the challenges that you face, right? So are you doing branding? You might have a goal. I want to reach a million people at this cost, but then you have through the campaign. Your cost is almost double. So, which means if you are elevated a lakh Rupees to reach a million people, you will reach probably 1/4.
And you spend half what that means is to reach a million people. You need to to X of the amount. So you need to relax, right? But you don't have any proof or for it. How to tackle these challenges So identify Simple Solution, right? Simpler solution.
Is identifier another Channel which is not expensive, which is not completely. That means G is relevant but not completely relevant. End of the day, one of the goals for Branding is to reach more people. One of the goals for Branding is to reach more people, you would always redo your plan and probably reach the status.
So I've already mentioned feedback feedback is one of the important things, right? So to tackle all the challenges that You have as far as these two marketing is considered. So make feedback work exceptionally. Well, you also need to track all your Matrix. So first Define Matrix, well track those properly and then use those metrics that you have tracked to Define and to improve your performance, right? So that's one second is, you know, so each channel one could look at it in a deeper way.
So let's look at SEO, search engine optimization. Good thing is take an example. I'm Well, for the keywords, I'm getting a good CTR. I'm getting people onto the side, but then, the next problem starts up, comes up.
I have a very high bounce rate. People are just coming to the page. Probably not reading through the entire page. But then this exhibit, how do you solve that? So when you have a high bounce rate, you also don't get much leads, right? So people are not engaging with your site, right? So n engaging is like reading more content or giving you the lead details, so that, you know, you could follow them up and try to do a sale.
How do you do that? How do you solve this? Right? So two things, one ensure that your organic content is in line with what people are searching for so rework, on your content on the page. So can't do a Content optimization. The second most important thing is look at the layout of the page. So if one of your goals is engagement, how many able to drive the user from one page to another page, right? So that he needs more content.
So, take an example of a newspaper. Take an example of a newspaper. If you look at times of India, the you read one article You will see links to 20 other articles on the side and half of them. Few of them then probably three or four are linked relevant or similar to the one article that you're in.
It's what is Times of India? Trying to do times of India is trying to do engage you more spend more time on the website, read more content, right? So, the more you read content on Times of India, the more he makes money, right? So through advertising. Now if you're a goal is actually to generate leads, you get the layout of the page, does the page have a lead form? Let's question. If it doesn't have a lead form, get a lead form in place. Second question, where is the lead form? Is it at the right place? Is it at the top instead of the bottom of the page? Do I need to lead forms? We need one on the top, one at the bottom Define it.
So that the woman he reads the content, the next step for him is only to show interest. Now, how should delete from be? Do you want to collect the mobile number OTP verified, or do you want to just collect basic details today's world when you know, mobile OTP Works seamlessly? When I say seamlessly, you get the OTP within few seconds few could be two or three. It's better to have OTP verified read rather than nah. No TP verify did because now, you know, the mobile number is valid, right? You can reach him reach in to actually do a sale Define the problem.
Well, and based on that change the structure of your page. Now, yes, what happens is, if you just have a lead form on the top person, the user has read the entire content on the page is come to the bottom. There's no need for his just exited. The purpose has been Just so the way people do it is, you know, you could have another lead form at the bottom or you could have a sign up now button which again send some back to the top of the page.
So this is strategy is you one can use to change the layout of the page and then get leads. But then achieve your goal understand, paid advertising paid advertising is probably much more tough in some cases compared to even organic content or SEO. Why? So, there are multiple forms of keywords, right? So, two, are you doing? Broad match, are you doing exact match are doing phrase match? Understanding this itself will take you out of time. Good amount of time now.
Yes, you doing three broad match. You will that lot of keywords for researches are happening? So you go back to what is called as a search. Keyword report, Search terms report. So exact Search terms for which, your ad started showing based on that, you have to Define what are your negative keywords.
So, for example, you should never be present for negative keywords. Take an example, you know, so online, tutions, right? Online training online, too. So, if you educate a car, for example, offers only online to students online online training online. Certifications, if someone searches for a training course near me, so that's another big key word, you know, keyword with lot of search volume training courses near me.
Should I come in the search results? Are not the question. Ideally since you don't have any center nearby and you're really offering online tutions, we Only offering online tuitions, we don't want to rank for the keyword because the person the intent of the person is to find Training Center something which is near to his home. So since I don't have a solution for it, I would not want to but it's again depends on the budget. You could also change the mindset of the person that even if we searching, I will still want to show my ad.
So that, you know, on a call, I could convince him to actually take up the online course, right? Shift your focus to content marketing, like stage of the product life stage. Product defines the content, The Branding, the positioning, the content related to the product and you could leverage that to do. Your promotions will be covering integrated digital marketing campaign. The top is for the day are, what is the need for integrated digital marketing campaigns? What are the challenges faced in that? And what are the strategies used and a few real life examples of Integrated.
Digital marketing campaigns in this module, you will understand the need of an integrated digital marketer. You understand the challenges which are faced in an integrated digital marketing scenario. We will be gate the challenges through an integrated, digital marketing strategy and explore, some of the best integrated digital marketing campaigns. Now, as we all know that, we always move ahead with an example and these marketers are worried.
Why are these marketers? Letter because marketing number one has a different problem. He says that we spent a lot of money and resources to create an SEO friendly and user-friendly website with great content, we received a good number of visitors after a few weeks of that website update but now the website traffic has become stagnant. What are we missing out on this? Talk about marketer. Number two, is that we have a presence on all major social media platforms.
We recently launched a campaign to promote a new New product using organic and paid advertising on social media generated, a lot of traffic on our website. But the problem is that the conversion rates were very low for what could be the reason for that. Moving on, let's talk about one more Market of negative. Number three, who has a good website and a social media presence.
The sale numbers have been good too, but they have a very huge problem of the number of return. Customers is not as high as They would like, so, what should they be doing in this particular case. Now, wherever we are talking about, these three examples will be solving these examples, from integrated digital marketing, campaign view. Now, digital marketing is actually a like, a machine.
Different parts must work in tandem to ensure Peak Performance, be created digital marketing campaigns combines several marketing channels which we have already learned about to promote a consistent message to the target audience. So these channels could be SEO, these can be sem, this could be email marketing, affiliate marketing, or even social media, marketing, or as per as whatever is required for your business. Moving on the definitions of integrated digital marketing. The first definition comes from the data in marketing Association.
They say that a method of engaging consumers with your company or brand that combines all parts of marketing Communications work together. And The customer along their journey of awareness to loyalty and advocacy second, which is given by HubSpot. It says that integrated marketing is a process of arranging, your different marketing channels work in tandem to promote your products or Services typically through a strategic campaign. So these are the definitions of ID.
Now, what is the need of idea? The first need is that customers need various touch points before they decide to purchase. He's think about it, on your side, you went over to Amazon, you looked at a product and then you probably forgot about it. Oh, you got busy with something. So your entry into Amazon was organic but after that you made the purchase.
Once you saw the remarketing ads on Instagram, that is how various touch points are used in order to make a purchase. Now customers also, continuously lookout for fresh content in some of the cases where you have a product, which is very Gated, which cannot be by without a consultancy or something of that sort. Then they're looking for different sort of content as well. Every time.
Now, number three is online. Traffic comes from diverse sources. Now, obviously isn't taking Amazon into this picture here again, as you've already learned about it, they have affiliate marketers have done their SEO, they are doing their Google ads as well. They're doing the remarketing ads as well and multiple things like that, even email marketing.
There are certain strategies which brings Visitors who are website ideal campaigns generate higher conversion rates, the reason behind that is very, very simple. First of all, you do not have to get the same target audience again and again over to your website, you can get just a few percentage of those target audience and you can take it up with them and go ahead and provide them with the better conversion rate. Number five, the customer engaged through IDM. Actually spends more, the reason behind that is Blinding.
So if you have just one source of traffic on the website but they don't see you about any on. Maybe, let's say all social media channels on WE any sort of a partnership with other brands, then the brand in itself becomes weak. So you don't buy from a new e-commerce website, but you know that you can buy the product from Amazon and even if the product quality is not good, but you trust Amazon now, digital marketing channel is continuously evolve this It was a very good example. When this happened in 2016, if I'm not wrong that the SEO algorithms actually changed.
A lot of rankings went down, but nothing changed in the social media space. So it's all about keeping all of your eggs in different different baskets, going ahead, the worried marketers, the three, marketers, which we had a conversation about, what would it be? The advice, which we would be giving it to them. So, the three marketers is to quickly recap one. Traffic has become stagnant.
The second marketer has a problem which was conversion rate was very low and the third one was that the return customers were not enough. So this is a very basic exercise when it comes to about integrated digital marketing. Let's say, if your traffic has become stagnant using SEO, you need to go ahead and start putting in more channels into the picture could be social. Media could be email marketing, could be anything else.
Number two, if the conversion rate was very low, then Then you have to, again integrate multiple channels so that you're all of the channels combined provide a better conversion rate to you. And whenever you're talking about Britain, customers are not enough. Then, in that particular case, I believe they are not doing the email marketing properly because if somebody is buying from your website, I'm assuming that they are giving you their email ID and if they're not giving and if they're not running promotions on the emails and in that particular case, I think that return customers are not coming because of that. Now What are the challenges in an integrated digital marketing campaign? The first challenge is that how to select the right Channel and the tactics for each of these Channel.
Now, this is based upon the different type of businesses. Let's again, assume you are running an e-commerce again which is selling cameras and high-end camera stuff for you know, that these people are going to be there on Instagram. First being the pictorial platform that is Something, which a lot of people use, a lot of photographers use Instagram. So finding these channels understanding about these channels in tandem with your business is a big problem.
Number 2, What will be the flow of launching a campaign? Let's say you found somebody for your website for your photography or videography website. Why Instagram, then after that, what are you going to do? Let's say a person showed an interest in buying a certain camera, then what? So after that it Remarketing ads. It could be email marketing or anything of that sort. Number three, how to ensure that the communication is consistent? And then I'm saying communication is consistent.
That means it's not overpowering at several places that no peace. Bye bye, bye, bye. Bye. And the communication.
If you're going via, helping people of the content marketing side of the things, then that is how you make your communication, very consistent. Number four, how to tailor the communication for Each medium. Now, this comes down to either copywriting or content writing again because if one of the medium is Instagram then you could use stickers on it, you could use other type of stuff on it, use it on the Instagram wheels or maybe on a story or anything of that, sort the same way, it's very hard. And these are the four challenges which are major challenge when it comes to launching an integrated digital marketing campaign moving on.
We're going to talk about the Sample, which was like by Nike they were making a breaking to campus so let's see what channel's did they use when they were making a breaking to campaign? Now the first of all just to give you a little bit of background Nike obviously you should be knowing that Nike is in the business of athletic wear any equipment. Okay, uses marketing strategies very efficiently to promote their products to the Target demographics, which we Nike promoted their shoe line. The zoom Vapor fly lied. By live streaming athletes wearing those shoes while attempting to complete a marathon in under two hours, making that they will break the world record.
Now, the channels, which I use first was relevant and Niche influences. They found out that there are three long distance, marathon runners, who are going to be a influence of for them. And secondly, it was a live event which was live streamed on Facebook and Twitter as an event. So you could New watch it.
So get more excited about the product or cheer the athletes on while they're wearing those shoes. Then there was obviously social media marketing, which leverage Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, to promote the event, using the hashtag they can to. Now number four was a well produced content, which is like they teamed up with National Geography, document, this particular race. Now, here are the results, the campaign's message of unlocking, the human potential tab into a A very broad audience with the campaign Nike garnered, 87% of positive comments, which is used in Era of Twitter five.
Eighty four thousand mentions on social media. Hashtag was used more than 400, 000 times 2 billion Impressions and 5. 2 x of the digital content engagement. Now, even do congratulations from Nikes rival which was on the left, you could see that.
Adidas running actually gave a congratulation to one of the marathon runners. Again let's go into another example which is of Microsoft integrated marketing, communication approach. Now Microsoft and Carlsberg what you do a partnership Microsoft has been continuously taking up various artificial intelligence based projects and space a I high up its in its product portfolio now to promote its AI offerings. Teamed up with Carlsberg to use AI to speed up the process of Brewing, new flavors of the beer now.
Moving on what they did was Microsoft marketed this project using the integrated marketing approach, using a multitude of challenges. As you can see, on this screen there, microblogs on Twitter, a lot of press releases in financial time and then there was also video promotions across Facebook and YouTube as well. Now how do we To create an integrated digital marketing strategy. Now, Step One is knowing your target audience, which has been a step always now for sub step of that.
Is that who are your Target customers? What are their motivations? How do they like to get in touch with which Publishers do they lead? Which websites do the visit regularly? And which channels are the using? What are they talking about right now? Step number two is to design, clear, and consistent content that can Easily adapted or used on different Media or channels. So using both visual logos and slogans and brand cues which was voiceovers and music consistently all across channels. So, communication, such as messaging and offers must be clear and not be filled with confusing words and phrases. You don't have to do fancy whenever you're writing a line, that's what it means.
The messages and offers must be compelling to the receiver. Obviously, if you're providing Say something. If you're spending a lot of money on something, then you need to make sure that it's actually needed. And we learned that in this step one as well.
Number three is, your message should be consistent across channels website, it will be phone, it could be in store, or it could be mobile. Just so that you create that brand for you. Step number three is invest only in those channels that have a clear role in the campaign understand what each channel can deliver in terms of reach. And cost as attitude towards as vary by Channel and format different media have innate strengths in different regions to give you an example.
If somebody is coming into India to start his own business, the first thing they do is go with Facebook ads, why, and why not retire axed? Facebook ads has a very defined targeting of digital marketing. Whereas total adds a little be on that front and Twitter. Quitter, cause a lot more compared to Facebook. So, coming back to the slide, which channels do my customers use the most, whatever channels you are using, that is what you have to do.
Number two is, what are the channels is strength and gaps. So, according to your target, audience, let's say you're not able to reach that, very definite, pinpoint audience, but could reach to a relevant on. You do we want to go ahead with that or not. That is their decision which you have to make, how will these These channels are going to help me attain my business goals.
Now, you could use Google for lead generation and you could use Facebook and YouTube for brand awareness, just to give you a example. Moving on step, number four, tailor your content for each Channel while communicating the same message, understand the nuances of each of the selected channels and develop creatives, that matters who the users on that particular Channel. Make sure each channel of your Marketing campaign is set up to drive traffic. Your ultimate goal, for example, social networks, such as Twitter or Facebook could be used for engagement websites for email newsletter, subscriptions purchases and reservation, give you a URL and usernames uniform.
That's a basic hygiene practice and use the same key words and phrases throughout your integrated marketing campaigns. The step number five, you have to Clan the flow of law. Launching the campaign. Now, the factors influencing the launch flow, our first of all, the campaign objective so it would be different for different companies.
It could be different for a different product as well. We need to know that what will be the plan to actually launch a campaign user behavior on the channels used in the campaign needs to be checked. For example, there is a peak time, there's usually a peak time on Facebook at around 7 p. m.
or ATM Indian time. And so you know that, okay, if you want to go ahead and Start off with a blast, then you need to run your campaign at like 7:00 or 8:00. Now, the third factor is the final stage awareness consideration and conversion. It's an integrated approach, the content and creatives are created for each of these stages.
Each stage is planned differently, but Interlink finally, to convert a user. So it has a tail to pay your social blog post, calendar in advance, good campaign features multiple ads to pay the NAD and schedule it. Moving on step. Number 6, make sure your marketing team agencies are working in sync.
Now this is obviously communication which needs to be happening within the team if working with several agencies and sure that there's an in-house team member to Monitor and coordinate with them. Facilitate team meeting with members working on different projects within the same integrated marketing campaign to keep all the members on the same page, even message of the campaign consistent and maintain. The brand is standard across the campaign. Since I've worked with a lot of agencies, have had an agency of my own.
I can tell you that, this is the real real big problem where agencies are not working in sing assume. There's an agency which creates our images, but there's an agency which is creating your video, they both need to be in the sink. In order to provide a consistent brand message, step number seven, you need to track your campaigns and then integrated marketing campaign, it is white. Able to utilize the proper analytics and retribution methods that help understand how conversions and results are achieved.
Now, you need the analytics for your website for your social media for email for search ads, and for your display ads. And anything else which ever you are doing now, here are some of the key metrics, which you should be tracking. So, website, site visits may be traffic by Source or channels, number of new visitors versus the number of return. Visitors bounce rate.
Exit rate, interactions per visit. All of these you can find in Google analytics, social media. Marketing need to figure out the likes comments shares, clicks Impressions, reach conversions. Or maybe you could just Bunch it up into an engagement, which is for the likes and the comments and the shares are all engagements, you can punch that up.
Also email marketing, you need to figure out the sends opened it, the CTR the conversion rate from there. The bounce rate, the number of people who unsubscribe and the revenue per email which you Send number for the search and display ads Impressions, reach cost obviously engagement rate, CTR CPC and conversion rate. All of these we have already learned in search engine marketing. That what do they mean? And now you have to start tracking them when you're making your integrated digital marketing campaign moving on with an example of linkedin's In It Together campaign.
So this was a campaign, which was run during the Golden Globes Award for most people View. Indian platform as platform, only for White Collar, professionals with this campaign LinkedIn, wanted to break a stereotype and connect with a global audience while highlighting the power of the community in finding a job. Now the channels used obviously, it was LinkedIn, then we had videos as well and there was a lot of digital display as well. Now in it together, it featured people from professions such as musician.
Martial arts, culinary, arts Bank. Workers teachers entrepreneurs and more campaign featured. The real stories of real members across career stages and how they are adapting innovating and learning on the Network's to push forward. In this new world of work, the black-and-white documentary-style videos, made them stand out from the commercial ones, showcasing their authenticity.
Now, let's move on to another example, which was of a device. It's your vote campaign now, Levi's launch the campaign, it Award before the voter registration Day in the US. The main goal was to encourage its user base to register for voting and cast their votes on Election Day. Now, the challenge used were several videos Parts.
Alongside in-store registration boots for votes. So you can watch social media to share images of celebrities and vote branded apparel. Number three was a microsite, which was used to further promote the campaign. Now, the results were that 60% of Of users who discovered Parts on Instagram.
Got involved in the campaign. 75 percent of users, took action after seeing the Instagram post. Now, videospot was also shared on Facebook. Sixty-four percent of consumers is stated that after watching the video, consumers were motivated to buy the products.
Now, another example, what if I 2018 grabbed campaign Spotify launched a personalized, 2018 wrapped campaign to sell Great each subscribers, listening habits, what they did was that once the 18 year was over, they said that this year, you listen to six thousand two hundred and seven different songs on Spotify. So they actually give you a stack, which is not required, but it just opens up the eyes in front of the consumers saying that this is how much actually, I used my Spotify membership or the free trial, whatever. So, channels use was a personalized, music playlist. For what they did.
Because they already knew about the browsing habits on Spotify engage with subscribers and gain their interest. Through data of the personal listening habits. Number two was there, they were customized emails, so subscribers, received a personalized email with listening data from 2018 and CDA to access. The spotify's data-driven microsite.
Now, the data-driven microsite gave a story like overview of the subscribers. Listening habits in a similar fashion to a billboard. Advertising campaign. Now fans were prompted to share their musical snapshot which made it Twitter's top Global trending topic on launch day.
Moving on, here are the results for these 45 campaign over thirty four million fan, visits over 400, 000 artist, Wizards, over 5 million, social shares and over 3 billion streams which were driven. Now, as you can see that even for one tweet Of 45. They got 172 retweets with 724 comments and 3. 1 K likes.
It was for the wrapped 2018 campaign. Now let's go into another example where we are talking about Uber's Beyond five-star campaign. Now, Uber launched, the promotional Beyond five stars campaign to Spotlight some other tremendous Works. Its drivers are doing Uber presents each feature driver with a short vacation trip as an Into of their hard work.
Now, the channel, which I use the campaign serves as an extension of the Brand's in-app complimenting feature the microsite which was speaking about the Caps drivers and customers experiences. The video ads, video featuring several drivers who are bombarded with in-app compliments and the images which are shared on social media platforms. Now, talking about the results, the campaign images were also shared by a Facebook, whereas they have accounted for sir. 85% to 90% of advertising Effectiveness through this campaign, Uber not only attracted more customers, but it also attracted and extra number of drivers who the platform.
So you can see the tweet on the left side where over reads, when your driver goes beyond 5 Star. Share a complement, share some love it. Only takes a few seconds but you can go further than you think.
