although most of what is listed is important to maximize your marketing efforts. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly, building quality back links ranks high, as well as creating unique and fresh content (that adds value). Value is the one word that was absent from<strong> <\/strong>every thread and comment, even though it was implied. Value drives business (period). Keeping your keyword density between 2 and 4 percent won\u2019t help one click if there\u2019s no perception of value on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Another_key_point_is_your_Title_tag\"><\/span>Another key point is your Title tag<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Too often I see the same title tag repeated on every page of a website. And many of them lack keywords that are relevant to their specific page. The title tag on your home page should highlight your entire site, but title tags on interior pages should target that specific page. Note: Google has started doing the same to title tags as they&#8217;ve done with meta descriptions, and that is they&#8217;ll change them from time to time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Following Google\u2019s recommendations is (very) smart advice. I\u2019d also search for SEO tutorials; being careful to concentrate on&nbsp;<strong>current<\/strong>&nbsp;articles (what worked yesterday doesn\u2019t work today).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_ABSOLUTELY_add_VIDEO_testimonials_to_your_site\"><\/span>And ABSOLUTELY&nbsp;add VIDEO testimonials to your site. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Even though Google doesn\u2019t place a lot of value on self-published reviews, video testimonials add a perceived level of trust to your online viewers, in effect saying to your visitors that you are professionals, you execute on what you offer and you\u2019re likeable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not\noverthink how to create testimonial videos. Interesting enough, homegrown\nvideos (smart phones, GoPro) register well with visitors because they are\nperceived as honest and down-to-earth. In other words, believable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not\npost them on your blog, and then either auto or manually post them to social\nmedia? Your Facebook or Twitter audience is then driven back to your website\nwhen clicking on that testimonial, increasing traffic on your site. Be sure to\ninclude internal links to relevant sections of your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taking_auto_posting_to_social_media_one_step_further\"><\/span>Taking auto posting to social media one step further<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not\nstop with just auto posting video testimonials to social media portals, in\naddition, auto post events, promotions and how-to articles. In fact, how-to\narticles rank extremely high in shares and re-tweets. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_growing_your_Facebook_and_Twitter_audience_help_increase_your_website_traffic\"><\/span>Will growing your Facebook and Twitter audience help increase your website traffic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of\ncourse it will, in a big way. It\u2019s part of branding your business across\nmultiple online streams and venues AND if done properly, can produce fantastic\nresults. I have heard this compared to fishing. Put out the right type of bait\nat the appropriate time, in as many fishing holes as possible and you\u2019ll never\ngo hungry. While branding, the concept is essentially the same. The big\ndifference in attempting to brand your organization online is consistency. If\nyou post every once in a while with NO consistency, you\u2019ll lose a large segment\nof your audience. You\u2019ll take one step forward and two steps back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_question_%E2%80%93_how_do_I_grow_traffic_on_Facebook_so_that_I_can_then_increase_traffic_to_my_website\"><\/span>Simple question \u2013 how do I grow traffic on Facebook, so that I can then increase traffic to my website?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When most people reveal how many likes and comments they get on Facebook posts, it\u2019s usually around 10 to 20, and those are typically friends and family. I viewed a very interesting and informative video by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3UNBH439N38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Neil Pat<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3UNBH439N38\">el<\/a> posted on YouTube in April of 2019 (so it\u2019s relatively recent), where he promised one simple secret to increase Facebook likes.
