Which is better Social Media or Google Ranking?
It would be a good idea to focus on both Social Media and your Google ranking.
Fact is once your Online Store is established and recognised by Google. Traffic, customer to your Online Store will continue to flow with very little time or effort. It is like pushing a car…. you push, push, push so hard… then once you have momentum the car just rolls and it takes very little effort to keep it rolling.
Social Media vs Google
Social Media is great however people are not there to buy something, Social Media is an important place to create your Brand and improve your Brand awareness.
Your Google Ranking is critical. Because when people are looking for something they “Google IT’
So you have to constantly put your Online Store in front of Google with fresh relevant content.
We strongly recommend that you ALSO set up a Google My Business Page and it’s Free.
Why should I do Blogs / Posts / Articles?
Doing Blogs or Posts (News/Specials etc) lets Google know you are there.
Your shop like any shop, it needs traffic. Traffic + Conversations = Profits
So keep the Posts relative to your store and have links in your article that lead to your store’s relevant subcategory page.
If you link the Post to a specific product and when that product becomes discontinued the link will automatically be redirected to the Shop page. The other option is you can use the Scheduled Post function to pick a date and have that redirect to another Product or page. This is handy if the product is Concert Tickets or similar.
Google wants to display the best search results for the Google user. So do regular informative articles explaining the benefits, things that will help solve the Google users question/need.
We have special SEO functions installed. So every time you publish an article your site notified dozens of Search engine bots to crawl your site for key words to help your ranking.
The more articles you do the better your Google ranking will eventually become. It is not quick however it is FREE.
WARNING – If you are working on an article save as a Draft and don’t Publish until complete.
The reason for this is if you keep Pinging the Search engine bots by pressing Publish over and over and over in close succession. They will think you are a Spammer and will Black List you.
To Save you time and get better SEO results faster.
We have special functionalities to make Posts easier and faster to do. Just a few click of the mouse.
We also have a software installed that gives you a simple guide to show you how good your article’s, Title, Keywords and Description are for SEO and Readability. Which is important in Google Ranking and indexing in a Google Search.
How do I get better Google Ranking?
Google ranks websites on how Relevant and Recent is your website content (words) to a search term.
Google is a business and wants to give the person doing a search the best result.
To make Google take notice of your Online Store… Your Store needs to become an Authority in your Niche.
You have a huge advantage over most new websites because of the software that we have in the back end of your Online Store.
1/ Search Engine Ping list set up to notify Search Engines every time you publish a Post / Blog
2/ The product auto importing software also ‘Spins Content’ changes the product long descriptions. So Google doesn’t penalise you for duplicate content (not exact word for word as on eBay or Amazon)
3/ Google Analytics and a Google html code is installed in your webpage structure.
4/ A Sitemap is also installed so SEO Bots and spiders can easily navigate and index your online store content.
To become an Authority website you need to be pro active and do a few Posts / Blogs a week to start with and then weekly after that. Then you will eventually have a great Google ranking Organically (unpaid).
Tips for easy Post / Blog articles...
Do regular Post or Blog articles…
I hear you asking 2 questions
1/ What is a Post / Blog?
2/ How will it help with traffic?
A Post / Blog is an article on your website that is great for Search Engine Optimisation. We will show you how easy it is when your site is live.
We have made doing posts/blogs very easy and can be very effective. When you click Publish on your Post the SEO software pings search engine bots (spiders) to come crawling your website for key words and phrases.
FACT… Google wants to show its users (people searching) the most Relevant and Recent information to help those people solve heir problem.
With regular Posts, Google will eventually see you as an expert in your Niche and as that happens your Google Ranking improves… Without paying Google a cent 🙂
PLEASE understand that you don’t need a content writer… you are not writing sales copy or adverts. You are giving some simple solutions and linking to a rang of products… that’s it. If you have spell check and use normal gramma as was taught at school when you were 11, that’s it.
So the more Posts you do the better…. However be Warned…
Clicking Publish too often or too close in succession will get you Black listed as a spammer.
The great thing is you can Preview and save as Drafts until they are ready. You can have heaps of articles ready to go and schedule them to Publish in the future.
While you are waiting for your site to be completed…
This is a perfect time to draft up a dozen or so articles about your niche (product line)
Here are some tips;
– Visit eBay or Amazon to your chosen Sub Categories and look at what products are listed, what they are and who is your target customer for those products.
– Open a Word doc and list a dozen Headings about your niche. Just say your niche is ‘Fitness Equipment’
Headings could be like… ‘Strengthening your Back’, ‘Easy steps to a six pack’, ‘Exercise program for busy executive ladies’, ‘Postnatal exercise’, ‘5 minute work out’ …etc…
– Then go back to each title and add a few dot points about that topic, work down the page and do a few.
– Then flesh out (add sentences to) each dot point and relate it to your Store’s products. It is best not to mention the specific models of equipment. Just how that type of equipment works, who is it good for, how often to use it, what to look for when buying etc.
– Do a Google search and find industry experts, who are not your competition. They could be Personal Trainers, get some ideas from them. NOTE: if if you use some of their content make sure you give them recognition for the advice and copy the page link to use in your article, with their name..
– When your site is live you can then copy and paste the article as Post articles and add a few link to the relevant Sub-Categories in your Store.
Start today we don’t want you keeping your Online Store a secret 🙂

SEO Tips for your Post / Blog articles...
Here is some SEO tips.
Keep it simple don’t waste time trying to be perfect… More average articles is a thousand times better than 1 perfect article.
You are not writing sales copy or adverts. You are giving some simple solutions and linking to a rang of products (sub category)… that’s it.
If you have spell check and use normal gramma as was taught at school when you were 10 or 11, that’s it.
Some SEO Tips;
– Write your article so a 7 to 11 year old can read it. Keep it easy to read and understand.
– Use short sentences, it’s easier to read and Google like that..
– Use good gramma and correct spelling. DO NOT USE all upper or lower case. And use BOLD text & Headings sparingly, only when required.
– Start sentences with the key words and key phrases and leave the descriptive fluffy words to the end.
Here’s a poor example for Exercise Bike;
As space is always an issue consider how easily it is to collapse and store compared to other Exercise Bikes.
A better example;
Exercise Bikes that are easy to collapse and store is something important to consider…
– Always keep the topic relevant and link to your Online Stores relevant sub-category. Also have a call to action at the end also linking to your Online Stores relevant sub-category.
Eg: See the the latest Trending Exercise Bikes here (the link can be that complete sentence)
Here’s a Bonus Tip;
– Try and find a quote or tip from an industry expert’s blog and copy the quote/tip and then give recognition to the original author with a link to the full article.
Here’s a 2nd Bonus Tip…
When you create a link to an external webpage always have it open in a new browser window. So when they close that page your Online Store is still there.
Important … Don’t stress, keep it simple… don’t over think this. We will show you how easy it is to publish an article quickly and easily. You just need to start with the basics as explained in the last email 🙂
