Why Are Links Important to Search Engine Rankings?

January 27, 2010 by Darrin Widick — Leave a Comment

To understand the importance of links in search engine rankings, consider the early research of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Their Stanford University project, which they called “BackRub,” expanded on the foundation that, in academia, the more times a research paper was referenced by other research papers, the more authority the cited paper carried. (Wikipedia and other sources chronicle this project.)

Taking that concept to the World Wide Web, Page and Brin set out to construct a search engine that utilized link structure (along with the actual anchor text in the hyperlinks that pages point to) to return relevant results, and to do so quickly and efficiently. PageRank — a play off of Larry’s last name –was introduced. “BackRub” — perhaps a play on back links? — became Google — for sure a play on googol — and the rest is history.

[Larry and Sergey’s Stanford paper, The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine, is a fascinating read into the backstory of Google. Amongst the talk of damping factors and mathematical formulas like PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn), the paper gives great insight into the duo’s thinking as it laid out its goal of “Bringing Order to the Web.”]

Now, let’s take that concept to your site. If you write about “rocket science” … and you include that phrase in page titles … and you have it in page headings … and you have links within your pages that include rocket science as the anchor text and point to other pages about the subject … then you’ve told your visitors, and the search engines, that one of the themes on your site is rocket science. Within reason, the more this phrase is naturally used in page content, titles, headings and hyperlinks, the better. Google knows this phrase is important to you, and it can begin to judge the importance of your site for that term.

Here’s where PageRank, external links and anchor text solidify your theme and can help establish your site as an authority on rocket science. When other sites and blogs and Tweets, etc., link to you with rocket science in the content of their pages and in the actual hyperlinks that point to your page, your site in essence receives votes for being important for that topic. (It’s one thing for you to write “we are the best at rocket science.” It’s another for someone else to write that “these guys are great at rocket science” and link to you for more information on that subject.) The more votes you receive the better you rank. And, more importantly, the “better” the vote (from a site which itself is an authority on the topic) the better your ranking.

Again, the concept can’t be abused. Excessive links from bad neighborhoods or from multiple domains controlled by the same owner or from other shady practices can lead to penalties. Like other SEO techniques, it shouldn’t be overdone, or forced, or spammed … but legitimate links from legitimate sites give a boost to your Google Juice … and everybody likes Google Juice, right?

Remember the premise of Google: Each time a given author was quoted as a reference in other academicians’ research papers, it was seen as a vote for the authority of that author. Now, simply carry that forward to the multi-billion-dollar external search engine: The more times a site is referenced, the more authority that site has, and the higher it ranks. Write good copy, optimize it well for on-page factors, and let the world vote on that content with links to your site.

Facebook: Now Even An Influence On Our Water, What Next?

January 20, 2010 by Eva — Leave a Comment

Vitamin Water and FacebookStill wondering how much weight Facebook carries in today’s marketing? Well, Vitamin Water recently turned to Facebook and its users to let them decide and vote on the next, new flavor to launch for their line of drinks. After much debate, and attention, the new flavor was recently announced. Called “Connect,” the new black cherry-lime flavor will even display the Facebook logo on the bottle. Now that’s teamwork. By actively involving Facebook users in the flavor contest, the campaign generated the excitement and hype that the folks at Vitamin Water were hoping to achieve.

With the number of users and visits on Facebook growing everyday, it’s safe to say that it has become a powerful marketing tool and medium for companies to generate buzz and excitement for their products and services and to get the attention of loyal customers and even gain new ones.

Here’s a sample of how other companies have used Facebook in their promotional efforts.

With its site offering a platform where companies are reinventing the standards of marketing, Facebook clearly has become more than just a “social” network. Is your company harnessing that power?

Kansas City Blogs

January 14, 2010 by Darrin Widick — Leave a Comment

RSS blogger guyEver tried blogging? To paraphrase Will Forte’s George Bush character in the SNL presidential debate skit, blogging is hard work. It requires workin’ evenings, comin’ in on Saturdays, maybe even a Sunday once in a while.

Oh, we know, what’s hard about blogging? Just pick a topic that you know a lot about, sit down at the computer, add a few links, and you have a post. Lather, rinse and repeat a few times, and you have a blog. How hard can it be?

But then you start thinking that someone might actually read it. So you go back and edit your post a little. Then a little more. Then you try to keep your blog fresh by writing a lot of posts. But you start running out of topics. And time. And energy. And you realize good blogging is hard.

We know. Our background is in writing. We did it in high school. And college. As an advertising professional. Even free-lanced for a now-defunct local newspaper. So we like to write. But to do it often, and hold the reader’s interest, is not easy. That’s why we have a lot of respect for folks who do it well. Consistently. With passion.

We thought we’d recognize a few local Kansas City blogs that we think do a good job of giving their readers a reason to come back for more.

  • When it comes to writing, Joe Posnanski is some kind of freak. No other way to describe it. The former Kansas City Star sports columnist and current senior writer for Sports Illustrated calls his blog, “Curiously Long Posts” because, well, he writes really, really long posts. And apparently just for the fun of it. As we mentioned, he writes (very well, we might add) for a living at SI, and even still contributes to the Star now and then. But then he writes some more on his blog, which has no ads, so he’s not making money on his posts. The man just appears to love to write, and his blog lets him go in-depth, and off topic, and in all different directions. But he always gets there (wherever there is) and he’s a pleasure to follow. Oh yeah, and when he’s not writing for the magazine or the newspaper or his blog, he’s Tweeting. Great stuff.
  • Sam Meers is in our industry, so we suppose he’s a competitor or something, and we shouldn’t plug his blog, Smoke & Meers. But it’s good. And we think you will like it if you’re involved in the advertising world. Sam’s premise is often to take an everyday experience – good or bad – ponder it, ask a question about it. He then relates the answer to that question, or the outcome of the experience, or the extension of the metaphor, to how you or he or – most often – an advertiser client could use that experience to get better results. Sam’s consistent, he’s conversational and he’s creative. A nice combination.
  • Hearne Christopher’s blog is the future of journalism. Not in and of itself. But his concept is where journalism is headed. The Internet changed things for newspapers. Google exacerbated it. And we’re not going back, no matter how hard Rupert Murdoch tries. The future of journalism is hyperlocal. Talented people getting together in their neighborhoods, their towns, their cities and writing about local events like nobody but ingrained locals can. Like KC Confidential does. Hearne and his band of bloggers, former KC Star staffers, and other talented writers follow the local news with the bite and the sarcasm and the salty language and the passion that no conglomerate can. He’s on to something here, and word has it that he’s hiring and growing and getting bigger and better. It’ll be fun to watch.

So we hope these Kansas City bloggers give you some inspiration. To start a blog. To resurrect an old one. To write more on your current one. But remember … as Will Forte/George Bush would say, “It’s hard… it’s hard work. Frankly, we don’t know why- why anyone even wants this job, you know… cause it’s hard. You know, a lot of people… working at meetings and… you know, it’s hard work and…”
