SEO Company Bangkok, Thailand

December 4, 2011

Many times while browsing the internet I come across poorly constructed ads. For the benefit of this blog, I click on these ads to research their disastrous attempt and online advertising. When clicking on a poorly setup ad, the landing page of that ad usually isn’t much better. When running a Google AdWords campaign there are many factors to which will determine if your campaign is a success or failure. Being a certified Google AdWords Partner Company, Marketing Bangkok is one of the few experts who specialise in the setup, management and optimization for effective English and Thai ad campaigns in Thailand.

A lot of companies are very uneducated and naive when it comes to SEO & PPC. They often choose to have their webmaster, IT or marketing manager setup and run their online campaigns. You will see this in the following example that I stumbled across while enjoying some YouTube videos.

The Advert


Firstly this Ad doesn’t explain anything about the company “Pepscorp” therefore anyone who clicks on the ad is just going to be as random as me clicking on the ad. Remember every time someone clicks on the ad it costs money! That’s why it’s insane to have an ad firstly reach unqualified people, and secondly doesn’t clearly and effectively market anything other than a name.

The company should of setup their ad with their company logo, some sort of sales text and a call to action. This would have let people know who they are, what they’re marketing, and why they should buy from this company.

The Landing Page


After clicking on the Ad you get taken to this really awful looking website, like something out of the early 90′s selling industrial and commercial equipment. I wonder if they even ship their products to Thailand? If not why is the ad running in Thailand. Probably because the person who setup the ad set the ad to run in all countries. And this is usually the case for every company that runs their Google AdWords in-house.

The results from Pepscorp AdWords campaign is likely to be very unsuccessful. Judging by their location targeting, their advert and website they have probably also setup the user targeting as well.

Google AdWords is a great way to generate traffic to your website instantly, track conversions and get your online business booming. However when it is setup incorrectly or not optimised correctly, you end up with fewer conversions and a higher cost per click. Marketing Bangkok is here to help, being a Certified Partner Company with tons of experience in online marketing and managing the AdWords campaigns for companies from all industries we can achieve the following;

  • Research your target audience.
  • Create effective ads that will attract clicks from people interested in your product.
  • Improve quality score resulting in cheaper average cost-per-click and higher ad positions.
  • Track conversion rates and then optimize your account to target the ads and keywords which are converting into a sale/lead.

Search Engine Optimization is a constantly evolving industry and while search engine ranking algorithms get smarter, SEO gets harder, therefore choosing the right SEO company is essential. The sole purpose for search engines is to return the most accurate results and rankings when a user searches for different keywords. If the returned results are not good enough then the user making the search may switch to another search provider. To retain as many users as possible search engines constantly work on their algorithms which are used to determine how a website should rank. This means that when building authority to your website it must be done in a natural manner, this means a lot of time must be invested by the SEO company. Q7PY2TCKUTBR

SEO companies that are using automated and spam techniques will often result in an undesirable outcome for your SEO campaign. Instead of carefully and tactically building authority back to your website some online companies, mostly located in India, will take one piece of content and then using software they will spin this one piece of content into hundreds of different variations to put through out the internet. Now one of the main reasons why this is bad for you is because software that spins the articles (effectively re-writing them) usually does a very poor job, so when a real person is reading this content and sees you company associated with a horrible piece of content it will not look good for your brand image.

Nearly 1 year ago we launched the version 2 of our company website. A nice reboot that at the time I thought it’d last forever because I was so happy with the design but as time goes on and looking at the same website for more than 1 year you quickly grow a big list of things that you want to change to your website in-order to improve it and hopefully sales. This new version of MarketingBangkok.com is the third version of this website. It’s important to keep evolving and staying on top of things like maintaining and updating your website, if we had the same website we had 2 years ago then we would not be where we are at today. That said now our new site is done, it is time to allocate some time each month to work on our own SEO once again.

You’ll notice now that on all of our major service pages we’ve included a placeholder for a YouTube video (except our SEO training video as we made this a while back). Video is the way of the future and we hope to remove the place holders and have videos that best describe why MarketingBangkok.com is different from local and international competitors.

We’ve spent a lot of time to insure each page relays as much information as possible, adding a FAQ to each page as well. There are still a few more updates to be done for the website so keep an eye out for them.

Below is the evolution of our website over the past 2 years!

After personally using Google AdWords for nearly 4 years to advertise a variety of different clients and teaching students since October 2009 from our SEO training course how to effectively setup and manage their own AdWords campaigns, I have spent the last week to become officially certified by Google in AdWords. It feels good knowing that all this time I have been correctly and effective in my AdWords campaign management and teachings. It’s also good to let my current clients, future clients and future students have confidence that they are in the hands of someone who is experienced and certified in Google AdWords.

To become certified by Google I had to take two exams, Google Advertising Fundamentals Exam which was 113 questions and the second being Search Advertising Advanced Exam which was 109 questions. You are required to take both exams to become certified and each exams requires a score above 75% to pass, which I was able to clear much higher. You can view my exam transcripts here.

With this certification behind me, I hope to manage more AdWords accounts and achieve great results for our clients.

Google has now anouced it’s “+1″ button which will alow users to click +1 on content or search results that they recommend. From the above video it looks as though you will be able to embed a +1 button within different pages of you website allowing your visitors to recommend your content. It has been about a year since Facebook introduced it’s “like” button plug in, allowing visitors to your website to “like” your content sharing it within their Facebook account.

Currently when looking on a search results page (SERPS) it will show back websites that you or your friends may have shared, but the process of sharing is a lot more involved than simply clicking on a +1 button. Soon we will see websites that have been +1′d by friends which will definitely impact the SEO world. Byttow says Google will “start to look at +1′s as one of the many signals we use to determine a page’s relevance and ranking, including social signals from other services. For +1′s, as with any new ranking signal, we’ll be starting carefully and learning how those signals affect search quality over time.”

Google is in the process of slowly rolling out this new social signal, starting with just the English Google.com. If you want to check out +1 buttons Google will soon let users opt-in via an experimental search site and if you’re interested in adding plus one buttons to your website you can visit here to sign up for notifications.

There has recently been an update to Google’s search algorithm. Google constantly tweaks and fine tunes its algorithm to produce higher quality search results based on a number of different factors. Some of the big factors included into the algorithm in recent times were the speed and load time of your website. Users who have made an effort to speed up there sites have noticed an increase in traffic as a result. In Google’s Caffeine update, we saw the introduction of Predictive Instant Search, and also how pages are indexed much faster, however led to a lot of spammy, content farm type sites been included.

Search Engine Optimization is a interesting dynamic industry to be in, espically with all updates and changes and even more so practicing SEO in Thailand. This latest update is named “Panda“, and whilst no one knows for sure what exactly has been included in the update, Google’s Matt Cutts and Amit Singhal do share and release information from time to time and recently sat down for an interview at Wired.

To continue on from my last Facebook themed post, here is a nice little article I spotted recently. This article covers a couple of very basic do’s and don’ts for what small business owners should be doing for their companies facebook page. Have a read of this article and see if what you’re doing for your companies Facebook page is beneficial or damaging!

How to Use Facebook for Your Small Business
By: Kandie Day

Leveraging Facebook to generate leads, build site traffic, and even make a little money is every small business owner’s goal. But in most cases, it’s not as simple as getting on once a week for an hour, posting a bunch of ‘interesting’ information, and getting on with your life hoping that the leads will start flowing in. Facebook is a remarkable tool for creating a ‘buzz’ about your small business and inviting new friends to check out your services, but done in the wrong way Facebook can also hurt your overall brand image.

First off, happy new year to all our friends and business associates, may the new year be a great one for you and your families. I thought i’d start off 2011 with my first post on Facebook pay per click advertising.

Facebook PPC is really quiet intriguing as you can target who your will view your ads, and reach a specific group of people based on their profile information. You might have noticed how certain ads show up when browsing through Facebook relate to topics you’ve specified in your profile or clicked “like”. Well when setting up Facebook ads you can also set who your ads will reach based on age, sex, relationship status location, languages, groups in which they’re a member of, and much more.
