List & Table Items Displayed in Google Search Result Listings
From the introduction of rich snippets to the new site links for branded terms, the Google search result listings are changing all the time. Most of these changes aim at helping the user to find the best result for his/her query and therefore improve the overall user search experience Recently, we have noticed a new feature in the Google search engine listings. The items from a list or table are displayed in the snippet in the form of a bullet list rather than simple text. The new listing format often include the number of items in the list. For example, if you type "LCD Tvs" in Google Australia, you will noticed that the BigW listing includes a bullet-pointed list of products:

According to Raj Krishnan, product manager at Google: "Snippets?the few lines of text that appear under every search result?are designed to give you a sense for what?s on the page and why it?s relevant to your query," "This week we started rolling out snippet improvements for pages that contain lists; results for these pages will now reflect the structure of the page, rather than just showing two lines of text. If a search result consists mostly of a structured list, like a table or series of bullets, we?ll show a list of three relevant rows or items underneath the result in a bulleted format,". "The snippet will also show an approximate count of the total number of rows or items on the page," he added. In the case of our example, adding the list snippet will help the user to differenciate an ecommerce retailer from a site providing information. From an SEO point of view, it would make sense for retailers to list their featured products/ products on special, at the top of their page lists to ensure maximum exposure in the search results!

Google Analytics: What Does Direct Traffic Really Means

What is Direct TrafficAccording to Google, incoming traffic is classified as Direct Traffic when someone:- Typed your URL directly in their web browser and reach your website.
- Bookmarked your website and clicked on a bookmark to reach your website.Google's definition is exact, but is rather simplified. Such short cut has contributed to a common misconception of direct traffic visits leading to misleading interpretations of analytics data. In many cases, Direct traffic is much more than just bookmarked and URL-typed visits.Google Analytics classify traffic as Direct when a user session has been started without a referrer being passed by the user browser. All this means that a direct visit is not ONLY a bookmarked or URL-tpyed visit.What Does Google Analytics Classifies as Direct TrafficBased on the complete definition, the Direct Traffic bucket is often filled wit
h a large array of visitors.In reality direct traffic includes:- URL-typed visits- Visits from Bookmarks- Visits coming from an email signature. If someone clicks on a website link in a email signature in Outlook, no referrer will be passed to the user browser and this visit will be attributed to direct. - Visits coming from an untagged email campaign. When someone clicks on an untagged link (link which does not include a Google Analytics tag) from in their email client (Outlook, Lotus Notes or Thunderbird), no referrer will be passed and the visit will be classified as direct. This is actually one of the most common cause of spikes in direct traffic. It is therefore very important to correctly tag email campaigns.
In most case a spike in Direct Traffic is the result of an incorrect implementation of URL tagging (email campaign), so to keep a 'clean' direct traffic is is extremley important to tag your URL correctly

5 Useful SEO Tools

When choosing a SEO tool, it is important to know exactly what you really need. If you look around in Google, you will find a vast amount of tools performing a lot of functions, but very often you wont need half of them. After reviewing and using some SEO packages (all in one), I realised that ,in most cases, I did not use all the functionalities, or some functionalities were quite weak so the investment was not always worth it. Instead of using one SEO package, I found more useful and often cheaper to use different t
ools.The tools listed below are some of the ones, I use most.Obvioulsy it is a personal opinion and not an exahustive list. OpenSite Explorer by SEOMOZOpenSite Explorer has recently been released by SEOMOZ. It is essentially a backlink analysis tool. OpenSite Explorer can be used for free, but it offers a lot more functionalities when you have a membership with SEOMOZ.OpenSite Explorer is similar to Yahoo Site Explorer, but with a lot more features. You can analyse the backlinks of your site or any competitors websites and obtain information about the domains linking to them and the anchor text they use.
In my opinion, it is one of the best tool for link building research.Advanced Web Ranking by Caphyon
Advanced Web Ranking is es
sentially a ranking monitoring software. It does the painful job of measuring the results of your SEO activities. I have personally reviewed a few and this one have provided the most accurate results. Advanced Web Ranking allows to measure the progress of rankings over time and see the evolution over a period of time.
Advanced Web Ranking is not free (unfortunately). The standard version comes at $99, but I have found the Professional edition ($199) the best.FireBug for Firefox
Firebug is one of the most popular web development plugin for Firefox. While it is more a web development tool, I have found it very useful to inspect the HTML code of a page without having to go through the page source every time. The inspect function let you view the code directly on the webpage. You can therefore find any on-page optimisation weaknesses ( missing Heading tags). Web Bug by AmanWeb Bug is a free software, which allows to view the server response for a web page. Obvioulsy this a kind of geeky tool with very limited use, but I do use it frequently when I perform website audits. Web Bug will be quite useful to highlight redirects and server response issues, which might affect the optimisation of a site.SEO Quake for Firefox
SEO Quake is a nice Firefox extension, which summarise some SEO parameters ( PageRank, age of the site, etc...) while browsing on a site. While the data is limited, the toolbar is quite useful to quickly scan and evaluate the value of a website. Another useful plugin providing pretty much the fuctionality is SEO for Firefox, so feel free to compare and choose the one you prefer.As I said earlier, this is a personal and non exhaustive list. I would be really interested to know the tools you really like and use on regular basis

Yahoo's Organic Search Results Powered by Microsoft Bing in Australia

Back in August 2010, Yahoo and Microsoft announced a search alliance to use the Microsoft technology to power Yahoo's organic search results.
On January 15th, Yahoo and Microsoft announced that the search transition between Yahoo7 and Microsoft Bing has been successfully completed in Australia as well as in 2 other markets. According to Yahoo:
The Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance team has reached yet another important milestone today. As planned, we are moving fo rward with the global transition of certain Yahoo! Search back-end functions to Microsoft?s search platform, and have just completed this process for organic search in Australia, Brazil and Mexico. This news is another step forward for the Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance as we continue our efforts for a quality transition with our worldwide advertisers and partners.Although the transition should be seemless, Yahoo has advised to double check your rankings and set up a Bing Webmaster Tool account to optimise the indexing capabilities.
The Search Alliance will have a large impact on the US and Canadian markets, but is likely to have little impact in Australia, which is largely dominated by Google.Regarding paid search, Yahoo has announced that the transition will occur in the second half of 2011.

The Client Roles in SEO Success
The consultant should also be a specialist in c
ommunicating effectively with the client whatever the client's personality. The consultant should be able to deal with client's request while pointing out the main priorities and tasks of the project to deliver the appropriate results.What I am trying to say, it that clients have an important role to play in the project outcome as they plays central roles at various dimensions of the project. In most case, they need to be pro-active and distribute resources effectively to ensure maximum results.Coordinating SEO ImplementationOne of the most important role of the client is the implementation of the SEO recommendations. In many projects, the SEO consultant is hired to provide analysis and recommendations on how to improve a client's website ra
nkings, but does not actually do the implementation. Most of the time, the implementation done by the client IT team or a third party provider.
The SEO Consultant plays a role in assisting the client with the implementation, however the client do need to allocate appropriate resources to make the correct implementation possible in a timely manner. Project Briefing & Information CirculationOften overlooked, but crucial is the initial client briefing. Although the consultant will do in-depth research on the project, nothing replace in-house knowledge. The client is the best to know its industry and business and should try to circulate this information as best as it can to the consultant. Very often approximate briefs jeopardise the SEO project effectiveness.On the same topic, it is likely that the SEO consultant will have questions, which will need answers. Late and approximative replies, often le
ads to project delays and confusion. Being available is therefore highly important to ensure that the SEO Consultant can work properly.
Coordinating Resources and InteractionsWhen the project involve different party such as 3rd party vendor or different departments within the client's company, it is crucial to insure appropriate communication, resources allocations and coordination. For many political and organisational reasons, SEO Consultants are often not in a position to contact other departments or 3rd party vendor directly. As a result the client should make sure that flow of communication is correct and that each party cooperate and can interact effectivelly.
As a summary, I hope this post will make sense to clients and SEO consutants. For the client to better understand how to work with a SEO Agency. For SEO consultants to remind that the client has an important role to play too and he/she should therefore be involved in the project. At the end of the day each party will benefit from an effective cooperation.
