They think that SEO is the reason why your website ranks on top of the others in regards to Google search results. Those are the old concepts of SEO and as today\u2019s internet rapidly changes, so does its purpose.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEO \u2013 Generate More Conversion!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no trick here. When experts talk about SEO they really just want to know how much money you\u2019ve earned with your website. After all, isn\u2019t that the end goal of all your SEO efforts? The reason why you keep adding content, why you guest blog, why you use social media: isn\u2019t it to generate sales in your export marketing ?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Do not judge the success of your SEO efforts on page rankings. A website might top the page ranks but if leads aren\u2019t buying anything then what\u2019s the point? Why celebrate for a page rank when profits are the real goal at the end of the day?<\/p>\n<p>Good SEO generates more conversions. Yes, better page ranking helps drive more traffic but when all has been said and done the reason you want that traffic is because you want more people to buy your products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Physical Marketing World<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just look at it from the marketing world of physical, offline businesses. A street vendor might have hundreds of people passing by to look at his or her items for sale and they might even be featured on blogs or local newspapers. However, they won\u2019t judge their success by how many people passed by.<\/p>\n<p>They will judge their daily success by how much money they earned.<\/p>\n<p>Big companies do it too. They\u2019ll spend a lot of money on TV advertisements, radio advertisements, flyers, pamphlets, and more just to bring people in but they won\u2019t call it a success until people buy things from them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Content is Still King<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What all this boils down to is the mantra of smart SEO: content is king. Yes, title tags, meta tags, keywords, backlinking, and all that jazz is important but none of them matter if your site\u2019s pages are empty, boring, awkwardly written and stuffed with keywords or links leading to empty 404 pages.<\/p>\n<p>Someone clicked on a link that lead to your Homepage \u2013 great! However, just five seconds in they realize there is no indication what your site is about. Navigation tools aren\u2019t properly integrated and there\u2019s only a 100-word sprawl that barely lets the visitor know what they\u2019ll expect from the site.<\/p>\n<p>In mere seconds they\u2019ll hit the back button and never return. All those great tags, backlinks on guest blogs, Facebook, and Ezinearticles, and others will mean nothing because the visitor didn\u2019t see content inviting him or her to continue exploring and eventually placing an order.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, SEO concerns not only bringing more traffics from search engines to your site but also user experience and conversion. It is vital in your export marketing strategy and should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p>Leadxpress <a title=\"Global Importer &amp; Buyer Directory\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leadxpress.com\/Buyers-Directory.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Global Importer &amp; Buyer Directory<\/strong><\/a> Editor<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.Leadxpress.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEO is not solely driving traffic to a website as today\u2019s internet rapidly changes.
