What is Google Bowling in Internet Advertising and How to Safeguard Your Website Against It?



Google Bowling has erupted as a major concern in Internet Advertising in the recent times. It takes advantage of a situation which seems to be a loophole in the way Google penalizes sites that engage in Unnatural Link Building. Two of the ways in which Google determines that a link is unnatural are by analyzing the number of Backlinks that crop up and their relevancy. Engaging in Link Buying and Link Selling is also considered risky activity nowadays.

So, where is the loophole? The answer lies in analyzing what happens if your competitor places Backlinks to your site in the above manners categorized as risky? Google’s algorithms will then calculate that you have engaged in Link Spamming and levy penalties on your website by lowering its rank. Your competitor has then engaged in Google Bowling. It is not just a probability but a tactic which is successfully employed by many. Since most website owners are not aware of the term, they become easy prey. Google Bowling is also a headache for the SEO professionals as Search Engines aren’t readily revealing about the reasons when a website’s ranking goes down.

So, what is the way to safeguard your website against the threat of Google Bowling? Removing the links or requesting their removal is not exactly viable as you would be actually competing against a bot. The Top Internet Advertising Agencies prescribe another unique way of tackling this issue. They opine that instead of concentrating on removing the bad Backlinks, one should concentrate on increasing the meaningful and good Links. If your site has enough number of relevant links, then the ones that have malicious intentions will not be able to create an impression that you are Link Spamming. For example, a well known site or the site of a well known business won’t suffer just because there are few irrelevant Backlinks leading to it. Thus, concentrating on increasing the reputation of the website instead of engaging in a rat race with the Black Hats is a much better approach to safeguard against Google Bowling.

Local Internet Advertising Counters Showrooming and ROPO

Research Online Shop Offline
Local Internet Advertising is an effective way to counter the ill effects that Show rooming and ROPO have on online sales. As a beginner’s guide to Show rooming and ROPO, let us first define these two entities that pose a serious threat to the performance of Advertising. Show rooming is the practice where the user visits a retail shop and examines a product there. He then, will not make a purchase but search for the same product online and try to find a lower price in the online shopping sites. This lowers the results of advertising for the product done through the outdoor, print, TV, and radio media. ROPO stands for Research Online Purchase Offline. It is the practice of finding the details of the product on the net and making the actual purchase at the retail stores. Internet Advertising suffers losses due to this prevalent phenomenon. PPCs are the ones that suffer the most.

An excellent way of tackling the menace of Show rooming and ROPO is Local Internet Advertising. Local Internet Advertising involves placing Internet Ads for the retail shops and the products sold. It has of course become mandatory for every business to have an online presence. But in order to counter the effects of Show rooming and ROPO, it is important that the store also has an online sales outlet. Maintaining such sites are however tricky and thus only the Top Internet Advertising Agencies should be consulted for the same. A Local Internet Ad would draw consumers for both the retail store and the online store. Users searching for the product online, but intending to buy offline can be led to the nearby store through Local Internet Advertising. People visiting the stores, but intending to buy online can be led to the online store. Local Internet Advertising is especially important in countries like India where retail shops still have a prominent presence.

Internet Advertising Veering Towards Simplicity over Hype



Internet Advertising, when it started, was loud in approach and strove to drive its purpose on hype and urgency. The high on promises and low on intention banners soon fell to the deaf years of the internet users. The users became more and more interested and involved in the content rather than the hype attempted by the ads. Elements like internet fraud also played a part as they too focused on promises that seem straight out of a fiction novel. The netizens soon realized that if it is too good to be true, then it is most probably not true. Internet Advertising took the remedial measurements and changed the attitude of the ads. Internet Ads are becoming simpler in their presentation, looking to engage the user rather than capture him with hype.

The most appropriate examples of this change are the PPC Ads. Mostly restricted to a couple of lines, PPCs are quite straightforward in their announcement. The banners too toned down quite a bit in their announcements and look to engage the reader with the information in the content rather than create hype around the product or service. SEO experts believe that this trend will continue in 2014 and will be fueled by the discussion forums. Thus, one of the things that internet users can expect in 2014 is engaging and enriching content as Internet Advertising Agencies will compete in providing extensive social media coverage to their clients. Maintaining a good Online Reputation will become an important key deliverable of agencies providing Internet Advertising Services.

Personal Cloud is the latest feature in the world of information technology which is bound to be used in Internet Advertising for better targeting.  Cloud Computing began with the idea of storing and sharing data over internet.

By associating with the relevant applications, it will become possible for Internet Advertising Agencies to know the presence of the user in the store in real time and based on his previous buying behavior, can target him with attractive offers on the relevant products. Personal Cloud computing is set to change the nature of services too and Internet Advertising will soon have to make corresponding changes in order to realize the new opportunities.

Get The Best Out of Banner Advertising



Banner Advertisements or Click through Advertisements are considered by many as the original form of Web Advertising. Even now, Banner Advertising is one of the most popular forms of Online Advertising. Thus, it is very important to make sure that your business is making the most of Banner Advertising. However, due to a few disadvantages of this medium, the returns get severely affected. Such scenarios can be avoided by taking care of a few simple but often overlooked facts.

Clutter Effect

Through the years, Banner Advertising has incorporated the new opportunities made available by advancements in technology. The ads can now also be positioned at any section of the webpage apart from the top row that they had traditionally occupied. It is very common to find Banner Ads at the sides or the bottom of the page nowadays. This opportunity, when overused, creates a clutter of ads which leaves the user annoyed. There are websites, who in the enthusiasm of utilizing Banner Ads fill the pages with so many ads that it becomes inconvenient for the user to read the content. Banner Advertisements should thus be used intelligently in a manner that does not impede the primary reason of the user being at the page.

Relevancy

A relevant Ad has more chances of getting clicked than a randomly placed ad. A Web Banner on car insurance is more likely to get clicked on the website of a car seller than on the website of a marriage bureau. If your company deals in multiple products or services, it is important to ensure that banner leads to the relevant page of the company’s website. Do not focus just on the home page.

Trust

One of the many issues ailing Banner Advertisements is the case of the thousands of the banners leading to porn sites. There is a growing distrust among average users for the same. It would be good idea to attain the trust of the user through the content displayed in the ad.

Web Banner Advertising, when used intelligently, is still one of the most profitable forms of Internet Advertising. Using it wisely can result in profitable returns at the lowest of costs. Thus, the Banner Advertising Services of the Web Advertising Agency you are planning to hire should be scrutinized carefully.
