What affects crawlability and indexability?
1. Site Structure. For example, if your site features pages that aren't linked to from anywhere else, web crawlers may have difficulty accessing them. 2. Internal Link Structure. A web crawler travels through the web by following links, just like you would have on any website. And therefore, it can only find pages that you link to from other content. 3. Broken page redirects would stop a web crawler in its tracks, resulting in crawlability issues. 4. Server Errors. Similarly, broken server redirects and many other server-related problems may prevent web crawlers from accessing all of your content. 5. Unsupported Scripts and Other Technology Factors. For example, since crawlers can't follow forms, gating content behind a form will result in crawlability issues.Various scripts like Javascript or Ajax may block content from web crawlers as well. 6. Blocking Web Crawler Access. For example, you may have created a page you want to restrict public access to. And as part of preventing that access, you should also block it from the search engines.

What are some key metrics in web analytics
1. Visitors. Unique visitors is the number of people that visited your site during a specific timeframe (e.g., yesterday, last week, last month). Unique visitors represents the count of individual people that visited your site regardless of the number of times they visited your site. So, if person A visits your site once and person B visits your site five times, you will have two unique visitors and six total visits. 2. Referrals. "Where did these people come from?" Referrals track users as they click on links in search engines, on other blogs, and other websites to your web site. Understanding where you traffic is coming from is the key to understanding how the work you are doing to promote your business is working. Are people mentioning you on their blogs and linking back to you? Are your social efforts paying off? 3. Bounce Rate. A "bounce" is when someone visits your site and immediately clicks the back button or closes their browser tab. What this usually means is that that user didn't find what they were looking for on your site and decided to leave. 4. Exit Pages. People often confuse "bounce" and "exit," but they are very different metrics for you to measure. Unlike a "bounce", when a user visits your site and barely views one page, an "exit" is when a user visits multiple pages and then leaves your site. 5. Conversion Rate. It is the percentage of people who achieved a goal on your site. Goals are things like completing a purchase, filling out a contact form, or viewing a certain page on your site. 6. Top 10 Pages. It's important to know what pages your visitors think are the most important on your site. By viewing your top ten pages report, you know which pages to focus on as you look to improve your site and which pages will have the most impact if you make changes.

Why does CTR matter and why is it important?
A high CTR is vital to the health of any advertising campaign, especially campaigns ran on Google, since Google uses a variety of metrics to evaluate your site content and relevancy to Google users. One way it can tell whether your site is useful and relevant for certain keywords is through CTR. A high CTR indicates to Google that you are helpful and attractive to people searching for that particular keyword or keyword phrase. In fact, Google tells us that "calculations of expected click-through rate" are used to calculate Ad Rank during auction time. Intuitively, Google Adwords and other search based platforms offer perks to more relevant ads. This is because search engines serve as platforms connecting users with advertisers. By displaying relevant ads, they keep the user base happy while also satisfying advertisers with a more receptive audience. Therefore, to incentivize relevancy and quality, they offer higher Quality Scores to ads with high Adwords CTR. Quality Score is awarded on a 1-10 scale and determined by expected CTR, ad relevance, and landing page experience. While Quality Score is not used directly during auction time, it is an aggregate representation of ad quality based on past data that can help you estimate how your ad will perform during the actual action. This makes increasing your Quality Score incredibly important because of Google's keyword bidding system. Each time someone performs a search using a keyword you have set a maximum willing to pay bid for, Google calculates an Ad Rank for your ad. Ad Rank is calculated based on your bid amount, components making up your Quality Score, and the expected impact of ad formats. This Ad Rank subsequently determines where your ad shows up on the list of search results (and whether it is even eligible to show up) and how much money you end up paying for that ad. Additionally, a high PPC CTR also means you are bringing in the maximum possible traffic to your site and increases the chances of conversions when said traffic is relevant. How high up your ad appears on search results can affect the CTR of your campaign substantially. This is because most users will find what they need within one or two search results (especially given the typically higher quality of ranking results). According to data from AccuraCast, CTR for search ads drop substantially after the first position. Whereas position one averages 7.11%, position nine only averages 0.55%.
Difference between user, session and interaction in web analytics
A user (once known as a unique visitor) is a distinct person, or, more accurately, a distinct clientID identified in the Google Analytics tracking cookie. As long as a person comes back on the same browser and device and doesn't clear cookies, Google Analytics will be able to identify that person as the same user. A session (once known as a visit) is the browsing period of a user. A session starts when the user first comes to your site and ends when for example the user inactivate. An interaction is every time a user interacts with an element, like a new page or something
How should I organize my Adwords Account?

What is Adwords? What is Google Network? What is the Google Display Network?
Adwords = AdWords (Google AdWords) is an advertising service by Google for businesses wanting to display ads on Google and its advertising network. The AdWords program enables businesses to set a budget for advertising and only pay when people click the ads. The ad service is largely focused on keywords. Businesses that use AdWords can create relevant ads using keywords that people who search the Web using the Google search engine would use. The keyword, when searched for triggers your ad to be shown. AdWords at the top ads that appear under the heading "Sponsored Links" found on the right-hand side or above Google search results. If your AdWords ad is clicked on, Google search users are then directed to your website. Google network = A group of search-related websites where your ads can appear. When you advertise on the Search Network, your ad can show next to search results, on other Google sites like Maps and Shopping, and on the websites of Google search partners. The Search Network is part of the Google Network, our name for all the webpages and apps where ads can appear. Google display network = Google sites like YouTube, Blogger, and Gmail, plus thousands of partnering websites across the Internet.
Content marketing strategy
At its core, your content marketing strategy is your "why." Why you are creating content, who you are helping, and how you will help them in a way no one else can. Organizations typically use content marketing to build an audience and to achieve at least one of these profitable results: increased revenue, lower costs, or better customers.
Backlinks
Backlinks, also called "inbound links" or "incoming links," are created when one website links to another. The link to an external website is called a backlink. Backlinks are especially valuable for SEO because they represent a "vote of confidence" from one site to another. In essence, backlinks to your website are a signal to search engines that others vouch for your content. If many sites link to the same webpage or website, search engines can infer that content is worth linking to, and therefore also worth surfacing on a SERP. So, earning these backlinks can have a positive effect on a site's ranking position or search visibility.
YOU BUILD FACEBOOK AD CAMPAIGNS IN THREE LEVELS, which are the three levels?
Campaign Level: This is your highest level, you can have several Ad Sets per Campaign, and each Ad Set can have several Ads! Ad Set: This is where the MAGIC happens, you can create DETAILED TARGETING here to only show your ad to the people most likely to buy your product or service! Ad: This is what the visitors actually sees, this is where you write your ad copy and choose your images or videos to actually show new potential customers!

Facebook Vocabulary You Need to Know, what are custom audience, lookalike audience and facebook pixel?
Custom Audience: You make a custom audience from pretty much anything, the two most common examples are from a customer file (email list), or website traffic (people who visit your website or specific web pages) these are important because you can get fancy with what you do with them... For example you can create a custom audience of everyone who viewed your sales or order page but DID NOT view your thank you page (the thank you page only shows after a purchase) this means you can later retarget buyers who were close to buying but HAVEN'T YET for whatever reason! Lookalike Audience: A lookalike audience utilizes Facebook's almost unimaginable store of data on pretty much everyone on earth to create NEW audiences of people who are SIMILAR to another audience. For example - let's say you have a facebook page where you're advertising your product or service, if you get 100 people from the USA to all like your page, you can create a lookalike audience of people in the USA who share a number of data attributes including age, education, and purchase history with those 100 people who liked your page! Once you create lookalike audiences you want to set them to 1/10 (or the most accurate - make one you'll see what I mean when you go to make one) and then choose additional interests after you create a lookalike audience to even FURTHER target your audience for example you might make a lookalike audience of the 100 people in the USA who like your page, and then from that audience further narrow to only include people from your broad lookalike audience that ALSO like Tony Robbins! You can also create lookalike audiences from people who purchase your product to create the most targeted possible lookalike audience, the more purchasers you have the more accurate the audience becomes! Facebook Pixel: Think of a Facebook pixel as an identifier - meaning when you visit a website, say www.Pianoforall.com they have what is called a Facebook pixel installed in the HTML backend of their website hidden from your view! Facebook has ID's for each of its users so when you visit www.Pianoforall.com, that Facebook pixel fires and says YOU visited that website, and allows the owners of www.Pianoforall.com to then retarget you with more ads because they know you've expressed interest in their website.
What is CTR? How is it calculated?
Defined simply, click-through rate is the percentage of impressions that result in clicks. To calculate it, divide the number of people who click on your ad by the number of people who saw your ad and multiply that number by 100. A higher CTR typically means your ad generates more interests and is more engaging. It resonates with the audience who receives it.
Email marketing KPI can be:
Delivery rate - The percentage of emails that were actually delivered to recipients' inboxes. Open rate - the percentage of recipients that have opened your email message. Click to open rate - The percentage of recipients who opened the email message and also clicked on any link in the email message Spam complaint rate - Spam complaint rate is the percentage of recipients that click the spam or junk button in their inbox Click through rate - The proportion of the audience who clicked on links contained in an email message - Organizations can calculate CTR either by dividing unique clicks by the number of emails delivered, or by dividing total clicks - including multiple clicks by the same recipient - by the number of emails delivered. Either method works, as long as you use the same approach consistently. - CTR indicates whether the message was relevant and the offer compelling enough to encourage recipients to action Bounce rate - The percentage of total emails sent that could not be delivered to the recipient's inbox, known as a "bounce" - Unsubscribe rate Unsubscribe rate is the percentage of recipients that unsubscribed from the email message. Conversion rate - The percentage of recipients who clicked on a link within an email and completed a desired action, such as filling out a lead generation form or purchasing a product Growth rate - A measurement of how fast your email list is growing. - Calculate your growth rate by subtracting opt-outs and hard bounces from the number of new email subscribers gained in a given month. Then, divide that number by the original list size.

Email marketing, Content marketing, Branding, Video Production, App development, Web design, SEO, SEM
customer life cycle
In customer relationship management (CRM), customer life cycle is a term used to describe the progression of steps a customer goes through when considering, purchasing, using, and maintaining loyalty to a product or service. It is a matrix that breaks the customer life cycle into five distinct steps: reach, acquisition, conversion, retention, and loyalty. This means getting a potential customer's attention, teaching them what you have to offer, turning them into a paying customer, and then keeping them as a loyal customer whose satisfaction with the product or service urges other customers to join the cycle. The customer life cycle is often depicted by an ellipse, representing the fact that customer retention truly is a cycle and the goal of effective CRM is to get the customer to move through the cycle again and again.
What are crawlability and indexability in the context of SEO?
In short, both of these terms relate to the ability of a search engine to access and index pages on a website to add them to its index. Crawlability = describes the search engine's ability to access and crawl content on a page. If a site has no crawlability issues, then web crawlers can access all its content easily by following links between pages.However, broken links or dead ends might result in crawlability issues - the search engine's inability to access specific content on a site. Indexability = refers to the search engine's ability to analyze and add a page to its index. Even though Google could crawl a site, it may not necessarily be able to index all its pages, typically due to indexability issues. Indexability determines web positioning: the more a page is indexed, the more likely a search engine is to display it amongst their results, therefore the objective of a website is to achieve full indexing, as it implies the inclusion of the entire structure, pages and content that comprise it in the search engine's database

CTR by channel, how can it differs?
Several variables might account for the differences in performance between social media platforms. LinkedIn's has for example a low CTR, this can be due to for example the low activity of most users on the platform. Since it is used more as a resume displayer and recruiting site than a social feed, ads are less likely to capture attention. Moreover, it is difficult to target the right individuals with ads since most users are active on LinkedIn for only short amounts of time. Your performance on social media channels may also be affected by your social media reach. Social media platform activity levels also change depending on day and hour. CTR on Twitter, for example, varies by day and hour. Most clicks occur on Saturday and Sunday between 5 and 6 p.m.
Ad Extensions + describe some different
Shows additional information about your business by "extending" your text ads and increasing their relevance. They boost an ad's visibility, which can lead to better clickthrough rates. Ad Extensions are additional elements on PPC ads such as star ratings, additional links to sites, endorsements, or "Book Online Today" callouts. They are Google's way of helping you expand your ad to include additional information and there are both manual and automatic Ad Extensions. To set up ones specific to your ad, click on the Ad Extensions tab on your AdWords account. There you can set up which type of Ad Extension you'd like to set up and run them at either the Campaign or Ad Group level. Sitelink extensions: allow you to promote additional site links on your ad and are great for broad match searches. They allow you to link to more specific parts of your site and add expanded ad text on an otherwise general ad. Seller rating extensions: automatically appear if your store is rated 4 stars or higher in Google Product Search. This seal of trust increases customer engagement by enhancing your credibility. Moreover, you are not charged for advertising when searchers click on your rating to read reviews. Location extensions: allow you to provide more information about your physical storefront and even adds a link that creates Google Map directions to your store. To set it up, you can manually enter your location or set up a Google Places page. Call extensions: allow you to display your phone number with your ad and shows as a call button on mobile devices. Do note, however, that you will pay for calls instead of clicks if customers use this feature. This might prove useful if you are a business where sales are made over the phone. These and other Ad Extensions increase CTR by providing users with more information and enhancing your credibility. Equally as importantly, they are now a part of your Quality Score calculation. This means you may be losing clicks to your competitors and falling in Ad Rank if you aren't using appropriate Ad Extensions.
Search vs. display ads
There are two different networks your PPC ad can display on when you operate using AdWords: Google search network and Google display network. The search network is Google's text-based ad platform displayed on top of organic results on search engine results pages. It is ads that pop up based on search and relevance to individual. The display network is used to grow your brand's awareness online. Display ads are shown to your target audience whenever they are surfing online, but not searching for your product or service. It is typically displays image-based ads on other websites, e.g. banner ads. Ads in the search network tend to have better CTR with the average at 1.91% than ads in the display network which have an average CTR of 0.35%. This is because display ads are often blocked by adblock add-ons and displayed to uninterested users focused on other activities. Search ads are more likely to be clicked on since they are relevant to the keywords a searcher is looking for. With search networks, the audience has intent.
How Can You Strengthen Your PPC Click-Through-Rate?

Ad extension = Ad Extensions are additional elements on PPC ads such as star ratings, additional links to sites, endorsements, or "Book Online Today" callouts. They are Google's way of helping you expand your ad to include additional information and there are both manual and automatic Ad Extensions. Copywriting = Since you only have a limited amount of space to write ad copy, you need to make it count. Most PPC ads are easy to ignore since they fall into the same pattern of offering dry copy with low energy call to actions. To make your copy more appealing, consider using eye-catching headlines, inspiring engagement with specific call to actions or describing unique value propositions. You probably won't end up with the perfect ad copy the first time around. It is important to test different variations of your copy to see what works and doesn't work.
TrueView in-stream ads, TrueView Video discovery ads and bumper ads
TrueView in-stram ads = In-stream ads allow viewers to skip the pre-roll ads after five seconds. Sponsors pay only for ads that are viewed in their entirety or until 30 seconds have elapsed.

Can a high CTR be bad?
While high CTRs are generally seen as positive and good for bring in revenue and conversions, there are certain instances when high CTRs may be worse off for business value and profitability. By default, it is dangerous to blanket statement high CTRs as good. Consider a situation where you are drawing a high number of clicks, but the clicks don't result in conversions. This means you have lost a substantial amount of money since you are paying for every click in a PPC campaign. This occurs often in mobile app display PPC campaigns when engaged, game-playing users click on your ad by accident and proceed to exit immediately. Some firms report CTRs over 50% on these types of campaigns and consequent losses. A high CTR is also dangerous when you are paying too much per click. For example, if you are paying $5.00 per click, but selling a product that is only worth $1.00, it only looks like you succeeded in making a sale and bringing in revenue. In actuality, you have a negative profit of $4.00. Therefore, it is important to calculate the return on investments (ROI) of all your ad campaigns. To do this, you'll want to consider not only the profit you receive from a conversion, but also the conversion rate of your PPC leads. A high CTR means nothing if none of the clicks draw in conversions.
