SEO Trends In 2015 For Google Search Engine

The SEO in 2015 will not change much compared to the current year, will introduce some new features, but few surprises.

At this time of year much bloggers to submit articles begin with the title that I bring today. Of course, all are assumptions based on experiences over the years and none have the magic wand to know what they are up in Google, or whether Yandex or Baidu will decide to come into force in other countries, such as Spain, although it is unlikely, you never know. However I got my crystal ball and I encourage you to make some predictions for 2015 SEO.

In the last year Google has renewed and made up many applications, presenting in some cases major changes, although this is not relevant for the SEO, the fact is that this is the trend in Google, always updated, always innovating and renovating.


SEO Trends In 2015

More relevant to authors

As far as SEO is concerned, one of the biggest bets of Google was the Author Rank or authorship in which he would value the authors of the post, presenting pictures of them in the SERPs of Google, but this year 2014 took the decision to remove anything that results call attention to the rest of the results, including these pictures because it was pretty easy to handle by users.

Probably should not have taken this idea to the head, and although the destination remains the same have changed the roadmap.

Content Quality

In connection therewith, the big G appreciates more and more quality content, extensive and accompanied by audiovisual media that retain visitors reducing bounce rate.

The great challenge for search engines is to provide interesting content for users at the time they are looking for.

SEO on page

Google rewards increasingly more SEO on page and the original good content but is still unable to read the texts. It is therefore very important to structure the contents well and use h1 tags, h2, bold ...

Social SEO (SMO)

The guys from Mountain View have devoted much effort to get more active users for its social network Google Plus , although the takeoff was tricky, there is increasing activity in this network due to some extent benefit SEO, but the pubic generally do not yet understand how Google Plus works.
And speaking of social media , my experience in the past year has shown me that having an increasing role. Google uses social networks to scale to know that content are most interesting and shared.

Mobile Traffic and Local SEO

Mobile traffic is growing, quite possibly in 2015 mobile search surpass desktop search.
And of course, more and more resources dedicated to become absolute monopoly of mobile navigation betting heavily on Geolocation.

Quality links and authority

A few years ago it was not difficult position based comment on blogs with links and was discharged in many directories and search engines.

Now Google's efforts focus on combat strategies Tiered Link Building, our friends in Silicon Valley are fighting tooth and nail to remove this tool of our heads.

This technique, combined with the purchase of high authority expired domains still providing great results, but if not done carefully get caught and your site will die in hell.

Domains exact word

Regarding the EMD ( exact Domains with keyword ) is another practice that Google is removing value gradually. Recently, it was very easy to position in promeros Google results for a word using an EMD.

And how do we measure the authority of a page?

It's been several years since Google removed its bar the Page Rank , a tariff always denied it was crucial to position a page, but when the truth was a great reference since they were themselves which calibrated.

Today, the best reference we have to measure out the authority of a page is the PA and DA, but also have other references to Alexa Rank, Ahrefs ...



Google Panda and Penguin 2015

We all know that Google has a zoo of horrors that complicates life for the SEO worldwide, but also makes them more exciting.

The work of Google Panda is to filter the contents of original quality for positioning at the top and sweep the bad content.

Meanwhile Google Penguin has the difficult task of assessing whether a web hosting links are natural or acquired.

There is no doubt that during 2015 these precious Google algorithms will be refined and come out to bring order to the SERPs with increasing frequency since Google is working to consume fewer resources.

CRO, and Conversions

Finally I will take this post to talk about a subject that haunts me to work for improving conversions and CRO.

More often than I'd like to see pseudo experts worried sick about driving traffic to your blogs and websites regardless of its quality, but do not care at all its CRO and completely unaware that look into Google Analytics.

It's not about getting millions of hits and then has a bounce rate of 80% or more, less is always better and become more visits.

One problem with SEO is that traffic is often not quality and CRO is very small. A blog that leaves you 3000 Euro clean a month is an achievement, but it takes many years and much effort is always better to develop projects that can advertise on Google Adwords, since those 3000 Euro can get on a much shorter time scale.

And these are my predictions for 2015 SEO , And you who you think will happen?

The update is all this time on local searches and are not intended to punish suspicious Internet sites, as was the case with Penguin.


A Google update in brief:

Google has not provided any information about this update, but we can see what happens to our locations. Many local results have disappeared from certain keywords, among other lawyers who live by bringing an action cases experienced that they disappear from the results.

We can see that the pages have been notified to the service " Yelp "has increased in the results. The company Yelp living of user reviews of places have complained to Google about their sides never appeared on the search results page - it seems that Google has been listening to them since the Yelp results now appear on the search results page when you search locally.

The update suggests that local pictures can give you additional impressions; when you see a location on Google Maps, you see sometimes also pictures from locality - you can put pictures of good quality into your business and thus achieve greater visibility.

There is something in the air:

What does this mean for you? Pigeon directed against the local search results, even though the changes in the SERPs seems to be quite significant, remains the basic principles of local SEO the same. So here are some general recommendations for your local business to get better Google exposure.

·         Make an individual Google+ Local page for your business

Creating a Google+ Local page for your local business is the first step to be taken up in Google's local index. Your second step is to verify your ownership of the location. This typically involves receiving a postcard / letter from Google that contains a PIN that you must enter to complete verification.

·         Select the correct category for your Google+ Local page

If you wish to appear in the local results for a search like "buying auto in kolkata", your company must be categorized as a dental practice. If it is categorized as a chartered accountant, you have no hope of being shown on your important keywords.

·         NAP (name, address and telephone number) on your website should match NAP on your Google+ Local page.

We will look at the site you have linked to from your Google Places / Google + local side and cross-references to the name, address and telephone number of your business. If all elements fit it works optimally.

·         NAP consistency in all your business listings

Make sure your company name, address and phone number also is consistently listed in local directories where your business is listed. Different addresses listed for your company, for example. Yelp and TripAdvisor can put your rankings on Google seriously down.

·         Large number of positive customer reviews on Google+ Local page and to third-party sources

The number of positive reviews have a proven impact on the rankings in local search results. So be sure to encourage happy customers to write positive reviews of your business. We appreciate the newly updated content, so fresh reviews count more against a good location than the old reviews.

·         City or region included in your website's title tags.

Another important factor in your "local" landing page is to have the city or region you are targeting your side against the inclusion of the local listing's title tag.

·         Product / service keywords in the business title

It is also believed to have the name of a core product or service in your company name can give you some advantages over competitors that lack this.
