2009伦敦SMX大会有关SEO的20条总结
1. Websites don’t link to other websites. People point to other people’s work.
(Lyndon Antcliff, Cornwall SEO)
2. If you want links, not traffic, Twitter is pretty much useless.
(Patrick Altoft, Branded3)
3. You have about 2.7 seconds to reach a linker.
(Lyndon Antcliff, Cornwall SEO)
4. It doesn’t matter if a link is paid for or not. Important is if the end product looks like a paid link or not.
(Patrick Altoft, Branded3)
5. Alexa data is slightly better than random guessing.
(Rand Fishkin, SEOmoz)
6. For most brand (authority) sites with some good rankings, it only a needs a couple of good anchor text links to get good rankings. If you are not a brand, you need to look natural.
(Patrick Altoft, Branded3)
7. Search engines can automatically determine if a link is in a footer or sidebar and devaluate those.
(Rand Fishkin, SEOmoz)
8. Wrong settings in a robots.txt could delay Google search indexing on your website
(Luisella Mazza, Google)
9. If somebody links to you, show some gratitude (for example put it on twitter, stumble upon etc.)
(Patrick Altoft, Branded3)
10. When you have little links per page, a sitewide internal link can get a new page ranking quickly.
(Rand Fishkin, SEOmoz)
11. Treat your email subject, twitter post, etc if it were a headline.
(Lyndon Antcliff, Cornwall SEO)
12. Crawling is not a guarantee you’re indexed.
(Rand Fishkin, SEOmoz)
13. Don’t worry too much about duplicate content.
(Luisella Mazza, Google)
14. Places to sculpt with nofollow: register/login, my account, shopping cart, terms of service, privacy, legal notice, anything disallowed by robots.txt.
(Rand Fishkin, SEOmoz)
15. Places not to sculpt nofollow: about page, editorial external links, categories & subcategories, product/detail pages.
(Rand Fishkin, SEOmoz)
16. Search marketing only has a 1.5% mindshare of the average Fortune 500 CMO.
(Brian Featherstonhaugh, Ogilvy) (also see the pre-event SearchCowboys interview with Brian)
17. Does an affiliate marketing program cause a traffic drop? No, but pure affiliate sites are unlikely to rank.
(Luisella Mazza, Google)
18. Will hacking websites work? Yes… reason for telling this: it can happen to you.
(Mikkel deMib Svendsen, deMib.com)
19. We don’t bother with digg anymore, it’s too much of hit and miss. We make a personal promotion network
(Patrick Altoft, Branded3)
20. A 12 year old has a better performance dashboard than an 40 year old CMO (referring to world of warcraft)
(Brian Featherstonhaugh, Ogilvy)
简单翻译如下(转自点石论坛)
1. Websites don’t link to other websites. People point to other people’s work. 我惭愧,思考很久,不知如何翻译合适。
2. Twitter对流量有很大帮助,但是对链接没什么用。(译注:nofollow对yahoo不起作用,所以twitter链接对yahoo有好处)
3. 你有2.7秒去发现一个链接网站。
4. 链接付费与否其实不重要,重要的是链接指向的网站像不像一个付费链接常有的站?
5. Alexa的相关数据虽然很假,没什么用,但总比随机猜测数据要有那么点参考价值。
6. 对已经有高权重的品牌网站来说,获得排名其实只需要设置一些文本链接,但是如果你不是品牌,只是小站的话,你需要表现的自然一些。look natural(在链接中此句该如何翻译?) 我感觉的意思是不要SEO过度。
7. 搜索引擎能自动识别链接的位置,顶部、底部、或者边栏,并且对不相关的链接进行贬值降权。
8. 在robots.txt中的错误设置能延迟Google在你网站上的蜘蛛访问,甚至索引失败。
9. 如果有人主动链接给你,要表示相关的感谢(如在twitter上表示一下,也可以在Stumble upon上)。
10. 如果每个页面都有少量链接,可以控制泛页面内部链接使某一新页面有快速排名。
11. 好好留意邮箱和Twitter上的内容,如果有大标题说明。
12. 有蜘蛛抓取不代表你的网站能被Google索引。
13. 不要过于担心内容重复(Luisella Mazza, Google )。
14. 在以下页面需要添加nofollow标签。注册/登录, 我的帐户, 购物车, 使用条款, 隐私政策, 法律声明, 以及任何robots.txt中不允许的内容。
15. 不要在以下页面添加nofollow标签。关于我们, 外部链接(友情链接), 类别和子类别,产品介绍和详细信息页面。
16. 搜索引擎营销目前在世界财富500强的CMO中只有1.5%的思想份额mindshare(意识是只花1.5%的时间和精力在相关搜索营销方面上)
17. 有人问联属营销项目会是否会引起流量下跌。答案是 不会,但是纯联属网页不太容易做排名。(Luisella Mazza, Google)
18. 黑客的黑色SEO手段有效果么?很不幸的,有效果。原因:他会碰巧发生在你身上的。 (很多人经历过了的意思,shaowei也被黑过)
19. 我们不再去digg上营销了,命中率不高,我们在筹备个人化的促销网络
20. 一个12岁的小孩在操作界面上的表现,要比一个40岁的大公司首席营销官要好。(魔兽世界游戏操作界面)
