- 32. Amazing Intelligence • Query in title – Near the front is best • Query variant in Headings – Don’t duplicate the title • Copy variants – Use related words in the copy • Images – Mark up properly : alt/title • Videos – Make a transcription • Include links to related content
- 33. Amazing Intelligence • Adding search value example – “Rotown Bar Rotterdam Review” • Give address of bar • How to get there information • Prices in bar • Mention Rotterdam -> Holland • Mention DJs playing • Link to their website • Mention post on twitter/facebook – Post it to their company profile

- 36. Power of invisibility • Rel=“author” – You need to do this!!! • If you haven’t do it ASAP – Google wants to rank people & experts – http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2539557 • Get into microdata – Schema Creator plugin • Make your results better • Get stars into results • Manage your message
- 37. Cool Gadgets
- 38. Cool Gadgets • Webmaster Tools – Google and Bing both have these – Check your “error” pages • Too many errors = collapse in rankings – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-pagepost- redirect-plugin/ : redirect error pages – Check you “average” rankings – Warning from Google
