Google+ posts on twitter
How to update Twitter and Facebook with your Google+ posts
Ever
wanted to post to Twitter or Facebook (or LinkedIn) from Google+? It’s
certainly a cool feature, although I’m not a massive fan of posting to
multiple social networks at the same time. There are many ways you can
post to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networks all at the
same time. However this is missing the fact that Facebook, Twitter and
LinkedIn are very different social networks. For example, do all your
friends on Facebook really want to see all your Tweets as Facebook
updates? Do your LinkedIn contacts really want to see your Facebook
updates?However, I do think there is a strong case for selective syncing between social networks. I use Selective Tweets regularly to post to Facebook from twitter using the #fb hashtag. This means I am in full control of when I want my Tweets to post to Facebook.
I’ve mentioned Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, but what about Google+? Google’s social media platform is still the new kid on the block, and their API (the system that lets applications talk to and retrieve information from Google+) is still in its early stages. This means it is currently very difficult to do any kind of syncing to and from Google+.
Back in July, I posted on my personal blog of a way to post to Twitter and Facebook from Google+. At the time, there were quite a few hacks that tried to achieve this. One way (and highlighted on Lifehacker) to post to Facebook was to add your Facebook “post to” email address to your circles. Unfortunately this cut your post off after 50 characters. The original author recommended a (now defunct) extension to post to multiple social networks. However, that’s not what we want to do here- we want automatic syncing of posts.
The method I came up with involved Twitter Feed and an app called Plusfeed by Russel Beattie that served your public Google+ posts as an RSS feed. It was a fab app while it lasted, but alas, Russel’s app got hammered by robots, and then Google’s pricing model made his costs go through the roof. Subsquently someone released Plusfeed2 but a month later that died for similar reasons.
There are quite a few Google+ to RSS services out there that don’t use Google’s app engine, so perhaps there is hope. It’s a shame that Twitter, Facebook and Google+ seem to be trying to kill RSS. I wrote a post on Google+ entitled “Social Media and RSS feeds- is RSS dead?” as it seams that most social networks don’t like RSS. One service that seems to work well is zipl.us. This gives you a vanity url and an RSS feed of your public Google+ posts. I personally wouldn’t use their vanity url service (I prefer gplus.to) and you have to be careful with the whole concept of G+ vanity urls as they may stop working if the site closes down and at some point in the future Google+ will start their own vanity urls. However, their RSS service is very cool.
So, this brings me on to how you post to Twitter from your Google+ posts. Well, there is the hard way and the easy way. First let’s do…

10 Tips to Get More Followers for Your Site
Content publishers all have the same goal in mind when it comes to
building their website: get more followers! If done correctly, more
followers can mean more loyal visitors and brand advocates of your site and content. Here are a few tips that have helped site owners grow the community around their content.
What tips could you offer to a fellow site owner who wants to increase traffic and following right away? We’d love to hear them!
1. Publish LOTS of Content
There are tons of articles emphasizing over and over again that content is hugely important for sites. So think about how your site can become the thought leader, the ultimate resource, for your audience. Great content will make your visitors want to share it, and in turn, increase content engagement on your site.2. Promote Content Externally
Publishing great content is fundamental, but if you don’t have the right tools to get it “out there,” then it defeats the purpose. There are plenty of widgets and site tools to help you promote your content off-site, so see what best fits your goals (and budget). There are also cost-effective ways you can get your great content in front of the right audience; using social media, for example, can help get your content shared to new readers.3. Provide Buttons to Engage
Speaking of sharing, your site should make it ridiculously easy for your visitors to share your content. Follow buttons––on the top of your page––can get more fans and followers prompt your visitors to connect with you on your social media profiles. Share buttons place strategically around your content will motivate your visitors to share it on their preferred networks. And this really works. With great content, simple follow and share buttons can boost sharing up to 22%. In fact, with the AddThis sharing sidebar, we’ve seen share increases up to 244%!4. Give a Call to Action
Your visitors may share without you asking, but more so would if you reminded them. You can use customized greetings (through a Welcome Bar or something similar) to prompt your visitors to do something right when they land on your site. Within your content, you could also ask people to tweet specific quotes of your content (like this page).5. Host a Giveaway
And speaking of calls to action, by running raffles or contests on your site, you’re getting your audience excited and giving them something fun to talk about. As a barrier of entry, you could ask your audience to simply share your content with their network for a chance to win a prize. Engaging campaigns like these can help get your existing network to bring in new followers for you.6. Share Your Content on Social Frequently
This is obvious, but lots of sites neglect to keep their social communities informed of their latest content. It’s a tough practice to keep up with, so consider scheduling ahead of time using social media management services like HootSuite or Tweetdeck to get started. Your audience isn’t going to expect you to be in every social network, but they’ll expect postings if they follow you on social. It’s worth investing some time every week to keep your content going out fresh on social.7. Always Use Photos
There are TONS of articles with stats proving content with images are shared more than content without. This is low-hanging fruit for your site. Plan to have great quality images with all your sharable content. Give your Pinterest fans a good photo they’ll want to pin, and your Instagram followers a reason to double-tap.8. Guest Post
If you can contribute well-thought blog posts that tie back to your site, jump at the opportunity! And consider inviting popular guest bloggers to your site as well. Their existing communities will follow them to your site to read their post, and if you’ve got great content they find interesting, they might stick around!9. Comment on Other Blogs
If you have the opportunity to do so, and something valuable to contribute, spend time getting to know other community members by leaving meaningful comments on other blogs. You’re letting audiences become aware of who you are––which is probably a primary concern for most start-up sites.10. Optimize Your Site
We say this often: analytics can be your best friend. A smart thing to focus on what your site’s sharing and clicking patterns can tell you about how else you can optimize your site. Whether it’s tweaking content, reorganizing the layout, offering different colored sharing buttons, changing the placement of those buttons, etc., all these simple enhancements can be the key to growing your community.What tips could you offer to a fellow site owner who wants to increase traffic and following right away? We’d love to hear them!

How to Improve Website Personalization with A/B Testing
How to Improve Website Personalization with A/B Testing
If you’ve visited your dashboard recently you might have noticed the newest functionality in our Audience Targeting rules creator – the ability to create A/B tests with multiple rules to see which perform best (learn how to set up your first test!). Paired with the ability to create sophisticated and customized messages, Audience Targeting is now better than ever. But why are A/B testing and personalization important? Let’s find out.
If you run a website, you probably already understand the independent value of both A/B testing and personalization. What you might not have considered, however, is how those two factors can be even more effective if you use them together. First, let’s take a look at how each is vital to a successful website in its own right.
A/B Testing Helps Refine Strategy
A/B testing—also known as split testing—is delivering two different versions of the same web page to visitors to determine which one performs better. The results can then be used to inform website redesigns, refine new tools and functionality, and most importantly, improve conversions. Here are just a few things that you can A/B test:- Calls-to-action: Strong calls to action are one of the most important tools for driving both clicks and conversions, so figuring out which ones will perform the best is vital. You can test colors, copy and even text vs. button to see which drives the most sign-ups and sales with your audience.
- Images: People respond differently to visual elements, and the ones you choose make a big difference for conversions. Try testing product shots vs. people, static images vs. videos, or even image sizes.
- Copy: Viral success sites like Upworthy and Buzzfeed do vigorous A/B headline testing to discover what works. If you spend significant time on social media networks, you’ll know that it pays off for them. In addition to headlines, you can test tone, SEO copy, and share copy to see which pays off.
Personalization Drives Conversions
As more websites begin offering personalized experiences, more visitors will come to expect it. If you visit a website populated with products, services, and content that you’re interested in, you’ll be more likely to continue on the path to purchase or sign up.Here are just a few ways to personalize content to your visitors:
- Target different messages to new vs. returning visitors. If you’re a new visitor, you might be interested in learning more about the company and the products or services they offer. A returning visitor may be ready to begin the path to purchase. A loyal customer may be stopping by to see what’s new. Targeting specific messages to each of these groups will help them to engage with your brand in a way that makes sense to them more quickly.
- Offer different experiences for mobile and desktop users. People are increasingly using smartphones to browse the internet, and they need a different website experience than those who are visiting your website on desktop computers. Make sure your pages are easy to navigate and effective on any device your visitors may be using.
- Create custom landing pages. Make campaigns more effective by creating landing pages based on user demographics and behavior. You can target based on where they came from, where they’re located and whether they’ve visited your website, just to name a few possible parameters. AddThis Audience Targeting makes it easy to personalize pages and content based on the factors that are important to your business.
A/B Testing and Personalization Make a Great Team
A/B testing and personalization are both effective on their own, but if used together, the possibilities are endless! Consider this: you’re A/B testing shows you that 65% of your audience wants X, while the other 35% wants Y. If you then decide to go with X across the board, you’re potentially throwing away more than one third of your audience!Use analytics to figure out what makes a user more likely to be in group X or Y. Is it the website they came from? Where they’re located? Whether they’re new or returning visitors? Once you know who each audience is, segment them and do more A/B testing.
Rinse, lather, repeat—and watch your conversions grow.
The important thing to remember about A/B testing and personalization is that your work is never done. Seasons change, trends change, and audiences evolve. Continually trying new approaches, testing their effectiveness, and refining your strategy based on what you learn will ensure that you’re meeting the needs of your website visitors. If you do that, they’ll reward you with traffic, sign-ups, sales and most importantly, customer loyalty.To get started running your own A/B test, simply login to the dashboard, create an Audience Targeting rule and you will be given instructions on how to launch the test!

How does Google make its money? On the heels of Google's blow-out Q2 2011 earnings announcement last week, we wanted to find out the most expensive keywords - what keywords demand the highest costs per click and are most competitive in terms of high search volume.
Since the vast majority of Google's profits come from AdWords advertising, these high CPC keyword categories are responsible for a large part of Google's profits. The results of our research are illustrated in an infographic of the most expensive keywords. (Click the image to enlarge the google adwords keywords infographic.)

Bid Info
Most Expensive Keywords
The 20 most expensive keywords categories with the highest search volume (i.e. the most used keywords) and highest costs per click, thereby netting Google the most money, are:
Insurance (example keywords in this category include "buy car insurance online" and "auto insurance price quotes")
Loans (example keywords include "consolidate graduate student loans" and "cheapest homeowner loans")
Mortgage (example keywords include “refinanced second mortgages” and “remortgage with bad credit”)
Attorney (example keywords include “personal injury attorney” and “dui defense attorney”)
Credit (example keywords include “home equity line of credit” and “bad credit home buyer”)
Lawyer ("personal injury lawyer," "criminal defense lawyer)
Donate ("car donation centers," "donating a used car")
Degree ("criminal justice degrees online," "psychology bachelors degree online")
Hosting ("hosting ms exchange," "managed web hosting solution")
Claim ("personal injury claim," "accident claims no win no fee")
Conference Call ("best conference call service," "conference calls toll free")
Trading ("cheap online trading," "stock trades online")
Software ("crm software programs," "help desk software cheap")
Recovery ("raid server data recovery," "hard drive recovery laptop")
Transfer ("zero apr balance transfer," "credit card balance transfer zero interest")
Gas/Electricity ("business electricity price comparison," "switch gas and electricity suppliers")
Classes ("criminal justice online classes," "online classes business administration")
Rehab ("alcohol rehab centers," "crack rehab centers")
Treatment ("mesothelioma treatment options," "drug treatment centers")
Cord Blood ("cordblood bank," "store umbilical cord blood")
We found that that 97% of Google's revenue comes from advertising on Google sites. In the last four quarters alone (Q3 2010-Q2 2011), Google brought in $32.2 billion in total advertising revenue.
Google CPC: Google's Highest Cost Per Click Keywords
Google AdWords is a dynamic, auction-based marketplace where advertisers bid on keywords to compete for top ad placement. The minimum bid per keyword is 5 cents, but this research shows that in highly competitive categories, Google can make up to $50 per click from PPC keyword bids. Despite a diversified product portfolio, advertising on Google sites accounts for the vast majority of its billions in annual revenue.
The google adword keyword categories with the highest volumes and costs represent businesses with very high lifetime customer value – in other words, these industries can afford to pay a lot to acquire a new customer. These most expensive keywords comprise businesses such as lawsuits, mortgage applications, and server hosting. Some high-volume keyword categories have lower CPCs because advertisers have slimmer margins to expend on PPC advertising.
The Most Expensive Keywords: Survey Methodology
We compiled data from our own trillion-keyword database and the Google Keyword Tool to determine the top 10,000 most expensive English-language keywords over a 90-day period. This keyword list was then organized into categories by theme, such as "Insurance." The largest keyword categories were determined by weighting the number of keywords within each category, as well as the estimated monthly search volume and average cost per click for each keyword.
Tips for Bidding in a Super-Competitive, Expensive Google Adword Key word Niche
If you or your client are struggling to compete in a high-volume, high-CPC keyword category such as the most expensive keywords identified in this study, the PPC best practices are the same as always, except of course, the stakes are 1000x higher if you’re paying on average $50 per click vs. $0.05 per click. Here are a few tips to consider:
Quality Score: High Quality Scores can help lower your average Google CPC. Tools like the Keyword Niche Finder and Keyword Grouper to break up larger keyword lists into smaller, more targeted lists which will enable you to write more targeted ad text and landing pages which should help improve relevancy and Quality Score.
Be Specific: Target specific, 3-5 word keywords. Use a keyword tool to generate specific keyword ideas, and use keyword match types to ensure you’re only paying for keywords that are very specific to your business.
Use Negative Keywords: Use a negative keyword tool to help figure out what kinds of words you’re likely to be matched against and weed out keywords that aren’t relevant to your business.
Be Relevant
Landing Page Optimization: The average conversion rate for just about anything on AdWords is around 2%. But we often see landing pages converting at the 20% or even 30% range. The key to landing page optimization is to keep trying out different types of offers and testing how people respond to them.

The keyword [Mesothelioma] is consistently above $75/click for any real volume. I know that Google says it's only about $30/click, but believe me, it's more like $60, despite your quality score.

Hi tony - thanks for your note. this study was looking for expensive, high-volume keyword categories. Mesothelioma is definately a expensive keyword, and search queries containing the word "Mesothelioma" were represented in several of the other categories, such as #19 "treatment" which included "Mesothelioma treatment". Also, keywords containing the word Mesothelioma also appeared in the "lawyer" and "attorney" categories. Mesothelioma by itself didn't have enough search volume to be by itself a top-20 big keyword category. Hope that helps clarify!

Tony - Are you the same guy who bought a bunch of links to the Johnson Law Firm which resulted in their site getting penalized? You're probably familiar with the cost of PPC for mesothelioma considering how their account was handled.

Hello Larry Kim That is really impressive work from your side. This will be really helpful for all seniors and juniors in this field. And then the keyword tool you told there is also a very great work but I must have to say that it's a bit expensive for a beginner like me :) I cannot afford this much in start. Tell me some any other package :P Regard Naveed (following you on twitter)

Agreed on mesothelioma - I work solely in that vertical and I pay $200+ per click.

Surprised that bail bonds and other emergency services did not make it to this list.
How did you handle the quality score variable?

we used actual average CPC's as reported by google keyword tool (not advertiser's maximum CPC bid, which are higher than actual average CPC, because of quality score as you point out).

@Larry...great work here! I love both the infographic and the content is superb as well - so Kudos to Wordstream for this one! And, I blogged about same on my own site too just today! :-) Jim

Wow - what an eye opener. I just launched my first iOS App, and also got the offer of $100 free AdWords from Google. The terms I was interested in 'earthquake plan' or 'earthquake family' were over $1.00 / CPC in the California demographic I was interested in. That seemed like a lot, but I see that that is small change.
The problem is that the App I am marketing will in my most optimistic visions get me about $5 / family. That would quickly be lost with Google AdWords. So I can see that for low-cost, single sale products, Google is very problematic.
Thanks for this great graphic.

I found the article very very informative.
Most especially the pie chart diagram.
Can you let me post this in my blog please?
Thank you.

This should be read by every client, especially those in insurance, loans and mortgages who think that their product is the only one out there!
Thanks for these figures. they'll be really helpful. And keep up the good work

You can definitely see your skills in the work you write. The
sector hopes for even more passionate writers such
as you who are not afraid to say how they believe. Always follow your heart.

So you're referring to an Infographic where the two largest segments 24% + 12.8% take up over 50% of the area of the pie?
You sure you want to trust this data?
Larry Kim
Jul 21, 2011
hi paul, the missing 30% (corresponding to all the other keyword categories #21 and up) was taken out of the pie chart for a few reasons. We needed more space for the big categories. We didn't want "other keyword categories" to eclipse "insurance", etc. It was a visual design decision. My blog post for tomorrow talks a bit more about this. stay tuned!

Google gets 97% of its revenues from advertising, but that's from Google sites (AdWords) 69% and partner sites (AdSense) 28%.

Great content larry. The way you explained everything makes it really simple to profit with competitive keywords. I'm grateful for reading this.

This is a nice list and break down for internet marketers and people looking to see what niche to dive into. Some people have a hard time in choosing a niche because they might have a fear of it not being worth it or profitable. Don't be scared of competition. Embrace it, compete with the big guys and carve your own piece of the pie.

I do not know if it's just me or if everybody else experiencing issues
with your blog. It appears as though some of the text within your
content are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This may be a problem with my browser because I've had this happen previously.
Appreciate it

"97% of Google's revenue comes from advertising on Google sites"
Where did you get the 97% figure from? I thought Google got significant revenues from AdSense, which is advertising from non-Google sites.
Elisa Gabbert

Andy, our apologies, that should read "97% of Google's revenue comes from advertising" (including AdSense), as shown in the graphic.

Interesting. What's keeping the DoS hobbyists/activists from putting multimillion dollar dents in their targets with automated bogus clicks?

Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with
Search Engine Optimization? I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not
seeing very good success. If you know of any please share.
Many thanks!

When a company pays for clicks at this high rate means that the customer generated will generally mean thousands of dollars in revenue for one customer. So as an example - 20 clicks cost $1,000,for a $50 keyword, 1 of the 20 become a client or customer, which could = $3,000, $5,000 or more in revenue. That's only a .5% return and most high end companies can get 2% and up. So in a lot of cases pay $50 for leads is a bargain.

Kinda late reading this and glad I found it, good work. Have to bring out that old chestnut EMD keywords and although I am not lucky or sharp enough to have registered any (in any language)I truly wish I had, looking beyond the very narrow issue of Google's possible dialling-down of some nebulous "SEO boost" given to exact match domains the EMD's are an edge I would take now.

nice article..but the above keywords you have listed is almost impossible to rank for..it will take 1 or 2 years of work to reach that spot..

Really not surprised that Google make 97% for their revenue from advertising. In fact I wonder what the metric is in total,for all the related businesses that effectively make a living out of helping people pay Google or trying how to leverage Google SERPS such as companies like ours. In a way, from a marketing perspective 'search' industry is obviously becomming massive, where is it in relation to TV/Magazine/Print marketing industry? I'm sure thaere is some data out there on that. I'll go see if I can find some.

Quite good! Really an eye-opener this one. I for one, cannot even imagine paying $ 55 per click for a single visitor - who might not even buy. But then as a publisher, that is what we want ;)

Nice representation regarding the Top 3 Most expensive keywords in Google Adwords advertising. The Insurance fields surely got the top spot as a lot of people are dealing mostly about the insurance business. Loans and Mortgage are second and third respectively. The infographics used were also colorful and interesting.

I have experience in PPC for loans. I found that if there is a high competition in Adwords that just means its a healthy market. That means there is profit to be had in alternative customer acquisition methods that are cheaper. I found a few! ;)
