August 26, 2013

When it comes to internet marketing, it is absolutely important for each and every one to consider the options available and then settle on the one that seems most effective. In a recent release of data indicating the happenings on the Internet, Matt from MOZ gave a breakdown of some of the things that determine success. The information indicated that SEOs are much more effective when they rely on links and keywords that are strategically placed on given pages. The use of this strategy is shown to be the best way to achieve success in the present day. However, more data shows that in the future things may change.

While content and authorship is also a great way to capture potential clients, it is not yet as effective as the techniques mentioned above. Nonetheless as time goes by it is expected that content and authorship will become more important and thus future strategies will have to seriously consider that fact. Below is an image showing a brief overview of what plays the biggest role in Google algorithms.

Having all that in mind, it is also a good idea to take a look at what the survey predicted would happen in the future.
