Make your site your best employee

Now we know what these updates are about how do we

thrive not just survive.

• KEEP IT UP TO DATE!• Quality content that answers a

question or gives a unique point of view

• Earn follow organic links from relevant and quality websites

• Use social networks to connect to your current and potential customers using the following rule• Spend 90% of the time being a

real person • Use 10% of your time

promoting.

That’s why we don’t use <b> anymore!

<strong> is the winner!

Google’s move to give keywords “the chop” started with making all organic searches secure.

This meant we could no longer see in

analytics what keywords users used

to find our content.

Page 22: AMCHAM - Online marketing and how to make your website your best employee

Use Topics not Keywords

• Example “Comparing Bangkok hotels”– Marriott vs Hilton?– Locations– Events and seasons– Tours and activities– Reviews!
