| Community Marketing
Performing well in the search engines is, ultimately, about the number of other (influential) sites that link to yours. Links can be bought; but they are more powerful when they are earned.
Pindar Graphics are experts in devising, creating and monitoring marketing programmes that generate links from the online community.
In particular, the advent of weblogs (allowing web users to publish via an easy-to-use diary system as opposed to a static web presence) has resulted in an explosion in personal publishing, and created a huge link-sharing community. Further, the way this community shares information and links is well respected by search engines. There are many ways that the right commercial interest can benefit from it by:
- Creating creative/informational content that is of broad interest;
- Moving existing information/content away from the commercial content of your site
- Connecting with the online publishing community.
Pindar Graphics offers professional consultation on how this effect can best be engaged within your current budget and/or using existing company/site assets or resources.
Pay per Click
PPC is, of course, not search engine optimisation, but search engine advertising. Its place in the traffic-generating spectrum is well-understood by Pindar Graphics, and is offered as an important, fully integrated service to suitable clients.
Pindar Graphics offers an affordable and effective way to take advantage of the pay-per-click services offered by Overture and Google which provide a fast, cost-efficient and manageable way to reach Internet users.
Our service is based on the same proven methodology behind our natural search engine optimisation services.
We carry out key phrase research, using data directly from the search engines themselves as well as our own resources, to discover the key phrases which will provide the required level of traffic, often at a fraction of the cost of the most popular terms.
In fact, we sometimes find that targeting a selection of less popular positions or terms, rather than the coveted (and very expensive) number ones provides equivalent (or often better) results for a much lower cost.
Another factor we take into account at this stage is choosing a range of key phrases that reflect the varying stages in the visitor's buying cycle. For example, someone in the more action-oriented 'shopping' stage will naturally use a different set of search terms than someone who is 'browsing' for information first.
Next, we look at the titles and descriptions for each key phrase to be targeted and rewrite them if necessary to make them as attractive (and relevant) as possible to potential visitors choosing from the search engine listings. This helps to increase your chances of attracting qualified visitors to your site and managing their expectations to maximise the quality as well as quantity of traffic.
