In most workplaces a webmaster has to wear many hats and deal with multiple projects.  This means it can become very difficult to keep track of multiple websites, and occasionally a problem can develop and not be noticed for some time. Some webmasters are so overloaded it is nearly impossible to find the time to analyze all the data and identify the most critical issues quickly.

Fortunately, in order to make managing websites more convenient, Google has recently incorporated search query alerts into its suite of webmaster tools. After a successful rolling out of alerts for crawl errors a couple of months ago, alerts for search query data has been added to the Google Webmaster tools feature list. With this new feature, all of the alert data is automatically processed and filtered in priority order.

This new search query alert feature enables webmasters to get a lot of interesting and useful information at a glance. For example, you can see the clicks for all of your top pages over a period of time. This means now you can tell if there is a sudden drop or spike in visits to one of your websites, and investigate and take steps as necessary. While these variations in traffic could be related to content, it could also be related to issues like broken redirect links or other technical issues that can be easily resolved by a webmaster.

The search query alert message not only informs you of a significant increase or decrease in web traffic (with a customizable sensitivity threshold), but also provides you with a list of suggested actions such as “check the search queries page” or “check to see whether the traffic change affects the whole website or just a few pages.

Last but not least, it should be noted that you need to sign up for email forwarding in order to receive the search query alerts in your mail inbox.

Improving your brand presence and building up your market requires in-depth analysis of how you market your products and services. There are certainly a number of steps you can take using traditional sales and marketing methods, but another option that has been getting significant attention  for quite some time for businesses looking to increase sales is Web-based pay per click (or PPC) campaigns.

One of the best things about PPC campaigns is that they can drive targeted traffic to your website in a very short period of time. Other Web marketing techniques such as organic SEO can also be very effective in creating brand presence and increasing traffic to your website, but these techniques take weeks if not months to implement fully. On the other hand, you can start seeing results from a PPC campaign just hours after you sign the contract.

The first step in a PPC campaign is to develop an in-depth understanding of your customers so you will have an idea of how to get them to come to your website. Brainstorm and come up with a list of customer characteristics and develop this list into your advertisement strategy.  Then develop a set of key words relating to each of these characteristics and use them in your PPC campaign.

Budgeting and deciding on bid limits for your key words and search terms is another important part of a PPC campaign. A carefully planned PPC campaign involves a good bit of research on both the popularity of search terms and the cost per click rates. Making the right call on key words and price can be a little bit of a hit or miss process, and it is usually a good idea to try various combinations and see what ends up driving the most traffic, or traffic with the highest conversion rates, to your website.

Organic SEO is the process of getting your web page ranked high in the major search engines. Optimizing for each search engine for involves a different SEO process, but if done properly will result in a big boost for your business.

SEO for websites can be very complicated and will include many basic principles for good positioning with search engines. One of the most key elements is doing the appropriate research on our client’s business, such as understanding their market, competitive companies, place, focus on audience, and the appropriate structure of our customer’s web pages. This research underlies our methods for improving their web page rankings.

Organic SEO these days requires a multi-level strategy and only a few organizations developed the skillset to take care of the organic SEO needs of all business types from start-ups to large organizations. On-page optimization for web page optimization deals with the organic SEO techniques that are usually applied to boost the rankings of a web page. Off-page optimization includes techniques for building back links.

A SEO agency usually falls into one of two camps. A "White Hat" SEO agency like Kuware.com will use a mostly content-based strategy and will not breach the rules of Google. A "Black Hat" SEO agency will use a mostly technology-driven strategy and often ignore the rules. But a SEO agency that takes the word "organic" literally considers that the "Black Hat" strategy is anything but "organic SEO”. A SEO agency that is truly practicing "organic SEO" acknowledges this fact and will refuse unethical SEO work.

In organic SEO, small, simple changes can often make a big impact on your traffic. Another benefit of organic SEO is that the changes are durable and continue to offer future benefits.

Organizations these days leave no stone unturned when trying to make their presence felt in any form of social media. It may be Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, or any other form of social media. Until now it has been a major challenge for webmasters to manage the social media of users/colleagues. The question was always how to determine which user can take action on whose behalf at which sites or services.

To overcome this problem, Google recently added a new feature that allows webmasters to designate roles to users.  Webmaster can now easily add associates – trusted users who can act on behalf of the website on other Google products. However, associates can only perform the activities they are allowed to. Their roles are predefined and boundaries are set. This helps in keeping a check on unauthorized user activities.

As a first step, members of the YouTube partners program that have created a YouTube channel for their site can now link the two together. This enables the YouTube channel to appear as an official channel for your website. Please refer to the help forums for additional details.

Google has announced that the YouTube associates program will also support integration with additional Google products in the future.

While checking our webmaster tools we generally feel the need to download the data directly to our Google spreadsheet. This has recently been made possible with a new download option in our webmaster panel. This option allows downloading almost all features like crawl errors, inbound links and search queries recorded, etc. Now this data can be easily exported in either CSV (comma separated values) or Google docs format.

CSV has been a download option for a long time. CSV helps in importing data from any other spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel and so forth. The recently added option in Google Docs opens up the newly created data sheet in a new browser tab.

The ability to generate the Google docs spreadsheet is expected to help webmasters to crunch the data gathered even faster than before. Graphs and charts can also be easily generated using the data in the spreadsheet. This enables webmasters to understand the long term trends impacting a website.

More details on webmaster tools and using Google spreadsheet be found at the Webmaster help forum.

Continuing education is very important for Webmasters, especially given the constant addition of all the new features to websites as well as the analysis required. The webmaster is flooded with an enormous amount of data when starting up a website. Analyzing and understanding all this data can make life very difficult for him or her.

However, a new educational program has been launched at Google’s Webmaster academy to help new webmasters get up to speed with all of the new features and analysis tools. The objective is to provide very practical and easy to learn lessons for beginner webmasters. The topics range from as basic as indexing the site to helping learners understand the intricacy of webmaster tools and features.

Beginner webmasters have the option to go step by step, or if you have some experience, to customize the details he/she receives on the subject. He can pick and choose his subjects. Most of the lessons are accompanied by videos from the Webmaster Central YouTube Channel for optimum understanding.
