We were having a look at this today and were wondering if Bing is driving more traffic to websites than previously. So we had a look at a few clients:

Client 1 (Home & Garden Sector) – Organic Only

December 2009
Bing share of visits = 1.68%

December 2010
Bing share of visits = 4.26%

Increase in share from 1.68% to 4.26%, which is a 154% increase in market share.

Client 2 (Clothing & Fashion Sector) – Paid & Organic

December 2009
Bing share of visits = 2.46%

December 2010
Bing share of visits = 3.21%

I was getting to grips with another aspect of Google Analytics today, I was actually trying to see if you could profile customers based on their visitor data – I’ve not quite worked this out yet, but I did find some very useful insights which I wanted to share.

First up I was checking out the biggest client that I manage, I decided I wanted to get to grips of what their visitors are like, so I started by segmenting by location, whilst I was doing this I found the perfect tool for identifying significant differences in data, the comparison graph:

Yesterday we were lucky enough to have a demo of Searchmetrics with Kevin Thiele. Searchmetrics does a similar job to many of the other SEO tools out there, rank tracking, link checks, keywords, except it does it a lot, lot better and with a higher degree of accuracy (in my humble opinion). Here are a few of the tools we’ve had a play with.

Some of the places James has seen the ad include…

When testing speed testing websites:

Lost website rankings? It could be your hosting supplier.

Downtime of your site can lead to worse rankings in the search engines. I’ve been saying this for a long time now, and have demonstrated some small examples to demonstrate it. Now though, I’ve found a strong example that I thought i would show you.

It truly demonstrates how critical it’s to have a good web host in addition to some monitoring constantly in place..

I have a few personal sites that I run entirely via WordPress and there’s often a few niggles that bug me as I can never seem to find easy to use plugins. I’ve used Yoast’s Robots Meta before and always been impressed by it so when I saw that he’d released a new All In One SEO plugin for WordPress I thought it was worth checking out.

I’m currently using the new WordPress SEO Plugin on my new site for aquariums and fish tanks and disabling plugins like SEO Title Tag and Robots Meta.
