Advanced Web Ranking in 2011 – A Happy Ending and A Fresh New Start

You’d think that with all the snow the new year started with, we’d be out skiing, having a snow ball fight or making snow men.

But no, we’re working like crazy and we love it!

That’s because we ended last year with bold plans for 2012, and we wouldn’t want to waste any minute but start making it happen.

So, while my colleagues developers are heating up the keyboards writing code, I thought it would be great to make a “wordy” recap of all the code they’ve been writing for the past year.

Check this out, it’s pretty awesome: Continue reading

How To Create SEO Reports with Ranking, Linking and Analytics Data

A good search engine optimization strategy is based on careful planning, a lot of work and good choices made on key issues. Everything will get analyzed at the end of each month, when the time comes to send out reports to your customers.

Looks familiar?

These reports are the mirror of your efforts. The only difference is that your customers will not ask “who’s the fairest of them all”, but rather:

  1. Where do I rank in the search engines for this keyword?
  2. How many links do I have with this anchor text?
  3. How many visitors are coming to my website searching for this keyword?

Each question should find its answer in the details of the reports you prepare. To make them as “readable” as possible, here’s what you should consider:

Combine ranking, linking and analytics data in a consistent way

Remember, your customers do not have your SEO expertise. Things that seem so obvious to you may not make much sense to them. You need to make sure the ranking, linking and analytics details are displayed in such a way that marketers can easily extract the information they need to build future strategies.

How to Set Up Filters Like a PRO

Math equationsI have talked in a previous post about custom reports in Advanced Web Ranking and, as I promised, I’m back with details on how to define custom filters.

So let’s get started!

As I said back then, Advanced Web Ranking is a software that allows you to process the data it gathers just the way you like it. But if you thought I was kidding, I can assure you that are about to change your mind.

Although Advanced Web Ranking comes with a list of default filters, you can also set your own rules to be followed when putting data into your reports. Continue reading

What if you could skip the daily routine and get right to the hot stuff?

Relaxation timeHave you ever had that feeling of time flying by and not being able to slow it down?

I bet you did.

In fact, I believe this is the most common problem in our lives.

There are so many things you need and want to do, but it is just not enough time. Sometimes you feel like reading a good book or watching a relaxing movie, or maybe just spend some time with your family and friends.

But there is so much work to be done. Sometimes the work you love, becomes a burden.

There is just not enough time…

This problem would be solved if you could find a way to be more effective in your work.

But only if you could find a way to remove all those unnecessary tasks you have daily and focus on the important things. Continue reading

Are you creating awesome reports?

Work would be wasted if you wouldn’t be able to synthesize it and put it all on one piece of paper. You wouldn’t be able to show it to someone else or have it available days, moths or years later.

But, thank God, you can build reports!

These reports generated by computer software can be usually exported to different kinds of file formats (and Advanced Web Ranking makes no exception, as it supports exporting to HTML, PDF, Excel, CSV, Text and XML file formats), you can print these files on paper or you can sent them by email to whoever you need to.

This would be just great if only these reports would always be the exact result of your hard work. But they don’t. There are too many times when you gather so much data and you work hard on it but you don’t have “That” magic report you need to send to your clients. All of the available reports are not compelling enough or just don’t have all the info you need for your clients. It’s frustrating because you can loose your clients for this.

If you do have these frustrations it means that you have not yet found these things about Advanced Web Ranking.
