The reasons have to do with spammy tactics or if the GMB listing owner breaks <a href="https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(113, 194, 27); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.1s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Google My Business Guidelines</a>.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: mr-eaves-xl-modern, Arial; margin: 0px 0px 25px;">Google can also give you a Manual Suspension if they review your listing and find an issue with it.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: mr-eaves-xl-modern, Arial; margin: 0px 0px 25px;">Unable to get it reinstated, despite it's a verified and genuine business.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: mr-eaves-xl-modern, Arial; margin: 0px 0px 25px;">Contact me now.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: mr-eaves-xl-modern, Arial; font-size: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 25px;"><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215494848236551005.post-50967824465710963322015-03-23T00:27:00.001-07:002020-05-26T23:31:41.839-07:00Need To Grow Your PPC Account? Look InTo The Search Queries<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
One of the most common inquiries I receive from e-commerce clients is how we can garner additional, profitable traffic. Of course, this inquiry can happen at any time during the agency-client relationship, but I want to focus when it occurs after many months of management. To phrase another way, clients want to continue growing after the account has been built and (seemingly) all themes covered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Expanding into new paid search platforms is a given for growth, but the purpose of this post is to examine an integral part of campaign expansion within AdWords and Bing Ads accounts, the Search Query Report (SQR). We all make use of this report, but I don’t believe advertisers know the true potential it has for account growth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The most common use for SQRs has generally been to find negative keywords. There will always be terms that can be added as new keywords within existing campaigns and ad groups, but the report is primarily meant to find poor performers for exclusion. However, within dynamic, Shopping, and top-of-funnel campaigns, SQRs are a goldmine for new keywords.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">In two weeks from now, you'll have to make the switch from Google's Gtalk messenger platform to its Hangout (whether they like it or not). Millions of users have been using the Gtalk for long time and they've become so comfortable with it that moving away has never been considered. So, Google has decided to force users by shutting down Gtalk once and for all.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Hangout is the future for Google (so they seem to think) and hence taking down Gtalk is the most logical thing that the search-engine giant can do now. Signs of Gtalk going down became obvious when Google decided to cut support (security and version) for the desktop application bringing its end closer to reality. As highlighted by Google the 'IM service will be wholly replaced by the Hangouts app, which can used only via its Chrome web browser.</span><br />

Whether you’re a prognosticator or a prediction believer, visions of the future are spellbinding. In digital marketing, and paid search specifically, the experts can see the playing field for miles and tell the rest of us what they see coming our way. We interviewed a number of search marketing experts to get their take on what <span style="color: #0077cf;"><span style="-webkit-transition: 0.25s; transition: 0.25s;">2015</span></span> holds for us.</div>

Google search has answers to most of your questions. But not all. If <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">Amitabh Kumar Singhal</a>
succeeds in making the 'Star Trek computer' he set out to build, it
just might. At Google, the 46-year old India-born executive is the
search czar. Google fields over 100-billion search queries every month, a
service which generated most of its $55 billion (Rs 3.3 lakh crore)
revenue in 2013.<br /> <br /> In India, there is also another important
target on his mind-—helping increase the number of internet users to 500
million by 2017. That is more than a twofold increase in less than
three years, demonstrating the scale of Google's ambitions in the
country.<br />

Hear that? That is the communal sigh of relief echoing throughout the
paid search world. The days of having several browsers open in order to
manage multiple AdWords accounts simultaneously are finally over.<br />
Google <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">announced</a>
a new workflow that allows you to switch between Google accounts
without having to log out and log in again. Switch accounts and still
stay logged into all of them.<br />
To get started in AdWords, click on either the Customer ID or login
email in AdWords to open what’s called the account selector. Managers
can choose to add more accounts using the “Add Account” button.<br />
This is an example of a seemingly small change that will make a huge difference in user experience and productivity.<br />

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
Submitting sitemaps can be an important part of optimizing websites. Sitemaps enable search engines to discover all pages on a site and to download them quickly when they change. This blog post explains which fields in sitemaps are important, when to use XML sitemaps and RSS/Atom feeds, and how to optimize them for Google.</div>
<h3 style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; position: relative;">
Sitemaps and feeds</h3>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
Sitemaps can be in XML sitemap, RSS, or Atom formats. The important difference between these formats is that XML sitemaps describe the whole set of URLs within a site, while RSS/Atom feeds describe recent changes. This has important implications:</div>
<ul style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">XML sitemaps are usually large; RSS/Atom feeds are small, containing only the most recent updates to your site.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">XML sitemaps are downloaded less frequently than RSS/Atom feeds.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
For optimal crawling, we recommend using both XML sitemaps and RSS/Atom feeds. XML sitemaps will give Google information about all of the pages on your site. RSS/Atom feeds will provide all updates on your site, helping Google to keep your content fresher in its index. Note that submitting sitemaps or feeds does not guarantee the indexing of those URLs.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It’s always seemed odd that choosing to “Delete” a campaign, for example, in AdWords doesn’t actually mean the campaign will be vaporized as if it never existed. It’s not possible to truly delete a campaign from an account — that historical data remains available in perpetuity. That’s good for historical records, but can be confusing for those new to AdWords.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In a semantic move that has been a long time coming, Google is replacing “Delete” in AdWords with “Remove” in most cases. The change will go into effect in roughly two weeks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<a href="http://searchengineland.com/figz/wp-content/seloads/2014/07/adwords-delete-now-remove.png" style="color: #ef7114;"><img alt="Google AdWords "Delete" Now "Remove"" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-195949" height="226" src="http://searchengineland.com/figz/wp-content/seloads/2014/07/adwords-delete-now-remove-600x226.png" style="border: none; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="600" /></a>It’s subtle, but makes sense. As Google writes in a blog <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAds/posts/H6kzP8KSnoT" style="color: #555555;" target="_blank">post</a> announcing the move, “This change is designed to help advertisers better understand that removed objects are still available for future reference. For example, you can report on a removed campaign’s historical performance.”</div>

Google's top social networking executive is leaving the Internet
company after a nearly eight-year stint highlighted by an audacious
challenge to Facebook.
<br />
<br />
Vivek 'Vic' Gundotra fittingly announced his departure in a post
Thursday on Google Plus, a social network that debuted nearly three
years ago. Gundotra had been in charge of Google Plus as the Mountain
View, California, company's senior vice president of social.
<br />
<br />
Gundotra didn't explain his reasons for leaving nor did he reveal what he plans to do next.<br />

If you use rich snippets on your websites, you should be aware that
Google is now penalizing websites for spamming structured data markup.<br />
The new warning was first mentioned in a <a href="https://productforums.google.com/forum/#%21topic/webmasters/xfRvnaiNZ_Q" target="_blank">forum post</a>
on the Google Webmaster Central forums from a user who is asking for
clarification about the warning and what the issue could be. It is a
manual action penalty based on incorrect usage of markups, regardless of
whether it was deliberate spam or simply a mistake.<br />
The warning that would appear in a user’s accounts if they have manual action taken is:<br />
<blockquote>
Markup on some pages on this site appears to use techniques
such as marking up content that is invisible to users, marking up
irrelevant or misleading content, and/or other manipulative behavior
that violates Google's Rich Snippet Quality guidelines.</blockquote>
<br />
The writing on the wall for penalties related to rich snippets was
back in October at Pubcon when Google's Matt Cutts talked about <a href="http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2302895/Matt-Cutts-on-SEO-PageRank-Spam-the-Future-of-Google-Search-at-Pubcon-Las-Vegas">changes Google was planning</a> in regards to rich snippets and dealing with related snippet spam.<br />

Okay, I’m calling it: if you’re using guest blogging as a way to gain
links in 2014, you should probably stop. Why? Because over time it’s
become a more and more spammy practice, and if you’re doing a lot of
guest blogging then you’re hanging out with really bad company. <br />
Back in the day, guest blogging used to be a respectable thing, much
like getting a coveted, respected author to write the introduction of
your book. It’s not that way any more. Here’s an example unsolicited,
spam email that I recently received:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
My name is XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX and I work as a content marketer for a high
end digital marketing agency in [a city halfway around the world]. I
have been promoting high quality content in select niches for our
clients.<br />
We are always on the lookout for professional, high class sites to
further promote our clients and when I came across your blog I was very
impressed with the fan following that you have established.I [sic] would
love to speak to you regarding the possibility of posting some guest
articles on your blog. Should you be open to the idea, <strong>we can consider making suitable contribution</strong>, befitting to high standard of services that your blog offers to larger audience.</blockquote>

The Guardian reported
yesterday DuckDuckGo, the search engine that keeps user searches
private, is now up to four million queries per day, with over a billion
queries performed on the anonymous search engine during 2013.<br />
<br />
Prior to the PRISM scandal
that revealed the NSA was regularly tracking searches on major search
engines, DuckDuckGo averaged approximately 1.5 million queries a day
says the Guardian. “In the weeks and months following the Guardian’s
publication of the NSA files, the number of [DuckDuckGo] users more than doubled,” writes Guardian reporter Alex Hern.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Guardian claims DuckDuckGo’s activity has continued to increase,
with a record 4,452,957 searches performed on January 7 of this year,
DuckDuckGo’s “biggest” day so far.<br />

After running a link agency for the past few years, I can safely say
that some clients are easy to work with and some are nightmares. I can
also say that the ones who are easy and fun to work with are the ones
that truly bring out my passion for the work that we do, and as I see
with my own employees, being receptive to listening to someone else's
perspective is something that I highly value.<br />
It doesn't matter if a client's niche is exciting or if their site is
so amazing that I want to spend hours on it every week. A client who is
willing to view our arrangement as a give and take relationship is the
client for me.<br />
<br />
Here are 15 pieces of advice that will help you build a better relationship with your SEO provider.<br />

In a video released by Matt Cutts, Google’s head of search spam, Matt
said publishers who publish similar or duplicative stories on different
URLs may use the rel=canonical tag to help consolidate the PageRank of
the stories and avoid any issues with Google.<br />
<br />
Matt Cutts did say that duplicate content won’t hurt you unless you are doing it for spam-related reasons. Cutts also did say that 25% of the web
is duplicative, so you really don’t have to worry about it. But I guess
in this case, to help with rankings, you may, as a publisher, want to
use the rel=canonical tag to help Google know which is your primary
page.<br />

Lyrics site Rap Genius says that is is no longer penalized within Google
after taking action to correct “unnatural links” that it helped create.
The site was hit with a penalty for 10 days, which meant people seeking
it by name couldn’t find it. That’s been fixed, though it’s unclear how
much traffic the site will regain for generic lyrics searches.<br />
<h2>
Removing Links To Remove A Penalty</h2>
The company explained in a blog post
today that it received a manual action notice from Google on Christmas
Day accusing it of unnatural linking, which resulted in a penalty. The
Rap Genius post detailed some of the linking practices the company has
done and how it tried to correct what it thought Google objected to,
which included asking people to remove links as well as disavowing links. The post concluded with an apology:<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="text-align: left;">
To Google and our fans: we’re sorry for being such morons.
We regret our foray into irrelevant unnatural linking. We’re focused on
building the best site in the world for understanding lyrics, poetry,
and prose and watching it naturally rise to the top of the search
results.</blockquote>

App store optimization (ASO) is the process of improving the visibility of a mobile app (such as an iPhone, iPad, Android, or Windows Phone app) in an app store (such asiTunes or Google Play for Android). App store optimization is closely related to search engine optimization. Specifically, app store optimization includes the process of ranking highly in an app store's search results and top charts rankings. ASO marketers agree that ranking higher in search results and top charts rankings will drive more downloads for an app.(As written in wikepedia).<br />
<br />
ASO will help us to move into a new era of Search. As Google in on spree of making updates, we as a seo finding difficult to get high rankings in SERPs, i think adding ASO to the expertise will help every SEO at this phase.<br />
<br />
Will try to write more on this topic, as i will explore.</div>

Duplicate content is always a concern for webmasters. Whether it's a
website stealing content from another site, or perhaps a website that
hasn't taken an active role in ensuring they get great unique quality
content on their site, being duplicated out of the Google index is a
problem.<br />
In the latest webmaster help video from Google's Matt Cutts, he
addresses how Google handles duplicate content, and when it can
negatively impact your search rankings.<br />
Cutts started by explaining what duplicate content is and why
duplicate content isn't always a problem, especially when it comes to
quoting parts of other web pages.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
It's important to realize that if you look at content on the
web, something like 25 or 30 percent of all of the web's content is
duplicate content. … People will quote a paragraph of a blog and then
link to the blog, that sort of thing. So it's not the case that every
single time there's duplicate content it's spam, and if we made that
assumption the changes that happened as a result would end up probably
hurting our search quality rather than helping our search quality.</blockquote>

You know that story about the cobbler's children not having shoes and
walking barefoot uphill in the snow? It's a heartbreaker and it's one
we can all relate to. We all know what it feels like to kill ourselves
for someone else, only to let our own needs go unmet.<br />
Whether you work in an agency setting writing content for others all
day while your own blog sits dry, or you're in-house writing content for
every department but yours, it can be difficult to keep your own
content marketing goals on track when competing with other business
goals. But having a strategy helps.<br />
Your content strategy will get your car back on the road and power you toward where you need to go. But only if you build it.<br />
<h2>
Determine Your Goals</h2>
Align the content you're creating with the goals of your business, whether the goals are to:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Generate leads.</li>
<li>Shorten the sales cycle.</li>
<li>Retain customers.</li>
<li>Build your brand.</li>

In episode number 227
of This Week in Google on the TWiT network, Google’s head of search
spam Matt Cutts answered some questions from the hosts Leo Laporte and
Jeff Jarvis. In one question, Matt explained that Google aims to “break
the spirits” of spammers in order to encourage them to change their
course of action.<br />
The question was posed to Matt from Jeff Jarvis, a well-known
journalist and professor, asking him what he learned about the
psychology behind spam and spammers. Matt responded that to reduce spam,
it is not just about denying the primary goal of earning money but
frustrating them to a point, where you break their will and desire to
spam.<br />
I transcribed the exact words and how Matt said it:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
If you want to stop spam, the most straight forward way to
do it is to deny people money because they care about the money and that
should be their end goal. But if you really want to stop spam, it is a
little bit mean, but what you want to do, is sort of break their
spirits. There are lots of Google algorithms specifically designed to
frustrate spammers. Some of the things we do is give people a hint their
site will drop and then a week or two later, their site actually does
drop. So they get a little bit more frustrated. So hopefully, and we’ve
seen this happen, people step away from the dark side and say, you know
what, that was so much pain and anguish and frustration, let’s just stay
on the high road from now on.</blockquote>
