								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is a digital marketing audit?</strong></p>
<p>For a digital marketing audit, we begin with a 300-foot overview of your business’s web footprint. We then dive down and look at the various working parts that make up your overall presence, with the goal of helping you figure out what is working and what may need more attention.</p>
<p>Over the past decade the Internet and the search engines that guide people along their journey to discovering information have gotten much more complex and the only way to succeed online is by using a holistic approach.</p>
<p>This audit will give you a snapshot of where you stand today and help you plan for tomorrow!</p>
<p>We have two spaces available for audits in September,<a href="https://www.createdigitalgrowth.com/contact-us/"> contact us if you are interested</a>.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So last month Google has finally launched their algorithm changes that will add your mobile site status as a ranking factor.  This has been anticipated for a while now and if you have not gotten your website mobile ready &#8211; you better act fast! The traffic of people visiting our clients websites has doubled almost every year since 2012, this has made mobile responsive websites a must.  For myself I know that if I come across a website while surfing on a tablet or phone and all I see is a tiny version of the desktop site &#8211; I run!</p>

<blockquote><p>I recently got one on one of my sites because I made the mistake of outsourcing the link building to some bombay badboys in India. 3 months later my site got banned&#8230;They had been keywording stuffing the hell out of it!!! mainly on blogs and forum posts. My own fault for not keeping an eye on them but my point is NEGATIVE SEO DOES WORK!!!!</p>
<p>After getting over the intial devastation of losing around £75k per month in revenue I turned the situation around and now I am employing them to negative SEO on my competitors (only ones that have gone out of their way to cause me real problems may I add).</p>
<p>This situation is getting ridicolous.Behind the calm exterior Im<br />
sure there some chaos going on inside Google. The bottom line is<br />
neagtive SEO does work. Google have opened the floodgates on this now and are backpeddaling. The quicker they get a disavow solution in place the better.</p></blockquote>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It really is simple if you want to understand why guaranteed results SEO is always a scam.</p>
<p>If someone really had the super SEO skills or the inside scoop on the secret algorithms of search engines and they could guarantee ranking, then why would they do it for $50, $500, $5,000 or even $50,000?  The top spot for a competitive keyword (top 500 revenue generating) can be worth six figures easy, so why not do it for themselves and retire?  Why do it for you on the cheap?</p>
<p>Besides this obvious reasoning you might wonder why anyone would be so desperate for business that they would take a chance of working for free?  Most often they are either using paid search to place you on the first page and ripping you off, or they are ranking you for non-competitive keywords and ripping you off.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes your website or various web pages within your site don&#8217;t rank well or rankings go down without any obvious reason.  Sometimes you need to dig deep and be creative.  There was a post over at Google support forums that received an interesting answer.</p>
<p>John Mu, checked out a posters site and made an observation about the length  of the alternative text (alt tags) used in the images source code.  John  said that the images are using &#8220;a full copy of the &#8211; sometimes long &#8211;  title as the alt-text for all of the product images on the page.&#8221;  He  recommended the webmaster stay away from throwing so much content in the  alt tags of the images.</p>
<p><em>it could be confusing to see the exact same text over and over again.  Search engines generally aren&#8217;t impressed by seeing the same text that  many times, so I&#8217;d simplify that a bit by perhaps using the full text  for the main product image, but not reusing it for all of the smaller  detail-images. </em></p>
<p>Great little piece of information to file away!</p>
