Ecom Experts - SEO Reviews Replay and SEO Tools You Can Use to do Your Own Research

2011-09-13T18:32:00.000-04:00

What a great show yesterday on Ecom Experts!

First, we discussed a recent article from Search Engine Land - Yet More Tips For Diagnosing & Fixing Panda Problems.

We loved this article and hope you will pay special attention to the area concerning measurement.

"There are tons of tools that Google has to measure engagement and trust. One of the most important ones, in my opinion, is the user’s click interaction with search results."

Great information!

Second, we completed some site reviews and used some awesome FREE tools to find out all kinds of great information.

We used Google Adwords Keyword Tool and Wordtracker for keyword research.

We used SEO Browser to see how the search engines looked at their website.

We used URI Valet to determine potential problems.

We used SEMRush to learn about competitors.

We used WooRank to gain more information about the website and Open Site Explorer to learn more about links.

Finally we used Quarkbase to find blogs that were talking about our competitors and how we can use this information to help us.

You can listen to the entire replay below and make sure to stay tuned this week because we are going to show you how to use these tools to help you gain better rankings and higher conversions!

Today on Ecom Experts - 30 Day Blogging Challenge with Special Guest... Kabbage!

2011-08-08T16:04:00.002-04:00

Make sure to join me at 6:00 PM Eastern as we discuss the new 30 Day Blogging Challenge by going to:
http://www2.webmasterradio.fm/chat.html

What is the 30 Day Blogging Challenge?

The concept is quite simple, we want you to blog:

At least once a day
Every single day for 30 days straight
From your online store's blog

For instance, our store is 1 Choice 4 Quilting. Our blog is http://blog.1choice4quilting.com

view our setting up your blog tutorial

What will I blog about?

Anything you want!

Do some keyword research and write blogs focused on one keyword at a time
You are the expert of your products... share your knowledge
Ask your customers to submit stories
Ask your customers to submit ideas for new blog posts
Share personal things about yourself so customers can begin to like, know, and trust you
Make sure you follow the 80/20 rule. 80% should be creative and education. 20% of your posts should push the sale.

Why are we doing this challenge?

As many of you know, I am taking the Master Certification Course at Market Motive. I absolutely LOVE the classes and one of things we discussed is of course blogging. I learned some interesting facts:

Blogs get 55% more visitors than your website
97% more inbound links than your website
434% more indexed pages
Hubspot says you have 67% more leads when you have a blog because it's a soft sell

How do I sign up?

You can sign up for the challenge by leaving a comment on our Now What Project Blog

Where can I get help with ideas to blog about?

Join us at 6:00 PM Eastern for more ideas on what to blog about for your store with myself and Russell Walraven from Kabbage.com

Plus, need a little extra cash for buying inventory, marketing, or anything else for your online store?

Kabbage is looking for a few Yahoo Store Owners for some beta testing and we want to tell you all about it!
