Some Jointblog samples of how Search works for Media Trend Watching
If you are trying to optimize your website's search ranking results, here's a quick housekeeping post for the Jointblog which may interest you.
Regular readers of the Jointblog may know this is a Joint Communications experiment for online brand building. The goal is to share ideas, articles and thought pieces on media trend watching in a commercial-free environment while simultaneously creating maximum presence on the web. With or without an advertising budget, the best way for readers/users to find a site online is to specifically construct the media design as well as organic search engine optimization with stuff people want.
So, how are we doing so far? We welcome your comments, suggestions and tips to help us make this the best site possible.
According to Alexa.com (the web tracking site), we have nearly 5,000 sites pointing links to us, including such esteemed places as CNN, MSNBC, Google Finance, BusinessWeek and media trade magazine sites, too.
In general, our stat counter shows us 72% of the Jointblog readership is from the US. About 10% comes from Canada. 2% from the U.K. and 6% from the rest of Europe. 3% comes from Australia and the remaining 7% comes from Asia (4%) as well as Latin America (3%).
Most use Internet Explorer 6.0 as their browser, followed distantly by Safari 1.2 and then Firefox 1.5. Opera and Netscape are much further behind in usage.
The most popular screen resolution size is 1024x768...an important thing to know for your website's design. The Jointblog and the JointCommunications.com home site are designed knowing how the webpages fill that size of screen...a good tip for your own designs.
How do people find us? Through search engines, mainly from Google (the #1 search engine presently), followed by Yahoo and MSN (although our SEO on other engines like Ask, Dogpile, Clusty, Lycos, AllTheWeb and AltaVista -- and others -- is also strong).
So, exactly how are we doing with actual organic search engines performance? Our targeted keywords help shape the kind of content we include on the sites; hopefully the search engines take notice. Let's check it out. Online, this is our brand identity...
As previously reported, we've been #1 for Joint Communications, Jointblog (also Top 8 of 10) and for Media Trend Watching (Top 2) for some time now.
Joint Communications is now #1 for Radio Media Strategy, #1 for Radio Market Research Consulting, #5 for Joint Consulting and #7 for Radio Consulting.
Also, we're on the Google front page for I Just Can't Quit You (#2), Truthiness Trend (#1, #2 and #10), and Katie Couric Legs (#6).
What's pleases us so much about these rankings (and from the list below) is that they are a direct result from posted content and not advertising. As well as the interest from others linking to our site and individual articles (which we encourage you to do as well). Substance is still effective when it comes to optimizing search engines.
Some new searches (as of April 21, 2006 (most have increased since this published date, according to Google) (go ahead and try them out yourself):
