Of the 7.5 billion people in existence, nearly 51% have access to the internet. That amounts to around 4 billion people who – as a whole – conduct a whopping average of 1.2 trillion searches per year. In other words, competition for online traffic is FIERCE. Businesses are up against a huge pool of competitors and are therefore obliged to find innovative ways of winning over the attention of their target audience. One of the most popular ways of achieving this traffic is through the application of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) tools.

But these are only two, and there are a whole range of other factors that determine how your site is going to rank for a certain keyword.

Several years after the introduction of feedback analytics, online retailers continue to find ways to put the priceless resource of the user’s voice to work to increase conversions, sales and customer loyalty. Among the most innovative applications of direct customer feedback is analyzing trends to predict search queries, inform SEO design, adjust merchandising and improve overall marketing ROI.
Let’s say an online business selling apparel receives numerous feedback items related to a specific brand of shoe. Perhaps one customer is having trouble finding her size, another customer is requesting a certain color and a third wants to check on a shipping date for the pair she ordered. All three customers have different needs the company can meet by responding to their feedback forms. However, if that is all the company does with that feedback, it has missed a valuable marketing opportunity.

Like many business owners and managers, you probably test the effectiveness of your SEO campaign by Googling the keywords you think are most important to see if you show up on the first page. And when you receive reports about your website traffic, you focus on the chart that shows average rankings for your targeted keywords.
When you’re spending good money on SEO, it’s common to obsess over your keyword rankings. You’re competitive and, to you, winning online means claiming the top spot in Google results. The problem is keyword rankings are an irrelevant metric to gauge online success. To truly understand whether your SEO campaign is working, you need to learn which measurements deserve your attention.

When was the last time you clicked on a banner ad? Was is it on purpose? As many as 60 percent of banner ad clicks are accidental. Only 9 percent of them are viewed for more than one second. Yet every day, experienced marketers waltz into the office with their latest banner ad idea. Or worse, autoplay video. This is partly why I'm building an AR company that helps make ads more interactive, but also a tell-tale sign that disruption is inevitable. Marketers are desperate to increase numbers and generate traffic using old-school techniques such as SEO, content, social, email, webinars and influencers. Of course, consumers sense these tactics and are feeling increasingly suffocated by belligerent ads while marketers aimlessly spin their wheels...

Many businesses use search engine optimization tools to improve the ranking of their website in search results. These tools can include incorporating meta-tags (or website keywords) in the source data for the website. Search engines (such as Google) use meta-tags to identify which search results to display when a user conducts a search. The Full Federal Court has recently confirmed that the use of a meta-tag may constitute trade mark infringement as, although meta-tags are not actually displayed on a website, the source data of a website is visible to those who know what to look for.
The case of Accor Australia & New Zealand Hospitality involved a property development in Cairns called "Harbour Lights". Apartment owners in the "Harbour Lights" complex who wish to let their apartments are free to choose Accor or another letting agent to manage this for them, or they can arrange the letting themselves. Only Accor, however, is able to operate its business on-site which means it can offer benefits to guests such as on-site reception and on-site luggage storage. Liv Pty Ltd trades under the name "Cairns Luxury Apartments" and offers accommodation services in the "Harbour Lights" complex in competition with Accor.
