Google’s new algorithms – patience required or we pack our bags for Bing

SEO gurus and webmasters have watched over the last few weeks as Google has been changing its SERP rankings. From what we can tell so far, there seems yet to be clarity on the changes. To the frustration of all of us, Google does not announce their algorithm updates, and we continue to test results and frequent blogs and forums to gain any further insight. But many gurus suggest Google is experimenting with trust and authority in their algorithms.

“We have well established sites being outranked by new sites and by sites with very few backlinks. Also by sites using black hat techniques and unfortunately we see some established and often very trustworthy white hat websites simply disappearing from the rankings altogether. At the same time we have literally day old Craigslist posts ranking in the top results. Some .edu and .gov sites have flown to the top while others have plummeted.” (SiteProNews)

Patience required or we’ll pack our bags for Bing.

The CarbonBlack SEO team will keep you updated in our blog.

CarbonBlack talks to The Australian Business

CarbonBlack talks about the importance of lead generation and it’s expansion into parts and accessories ecommerce. CarbonBlack in the Australian.

- The Australian, June 2009

Green revolution in auto-industry

Firestone Autocare shops in two American States are test marketing the use of twice-refined, used motor oil during routine car servicing.

The mind boggles that sufficient oil is available for collection, re-refining, and distribution to justify the program.

However, economics will determine whether the program is ultimately successful or not.

Recycling used oil uses 85% less energy than processing oil from new, Firestone executives claim. Many parallels to recycling tyres by retreading them can be drawn.

Good on them for having a go.

CarbonBlack keeps the innovations coming for Midas

CarbonBlack and Midas have teamed up to introduce a range of innovations to better connect consumers to 90 Midas auto service centres throughout Australia over the coming year. Midas will be able to connect to CarbonBlack visitors conducting “pre-shopping” research prior to buying auto parts and services.

Today ninety per cent of Australian consumers research a product online prior to making a major purchase – and for the Midas network this is great news. Already Australian consumers are relying on the CarbonBlack site to look for new ways to educate themselves and find the right auto product or service.

Joining the CarbonBlack network gives Midas a greater presence on the internet and allows them to better understand its customers. Gaining a greater insight into the purchasing needs for Australian auto consumers will help them further to deliver the ‘The Midas Promise’.

CarbonBlack profiles the Midas green-friendly LPG conversion program

The inclusion of Midas into the CarbonBlack network further differentiates CarbonBlack for consumers. Consumers have an even wider choice of service providers and in fact now can choose to book an auto service online with any Midas service centre.

And for the fully accredited Midas LPG conversion stores and green-friendly auto consumers the good news continues. This new program from Midas to manage the requirements for environmentally-conscious car owners is now on the web. Consumers can find out where and how easy it is to convert to LPG – saving money and protecting the environment at the same time.

A CarbonBlack website for everyone

Individual websites for each Midas service centre makes business a breeze. Every Midas auto service centre has a specially tailored CarbonBlack website to promote day-to-day business and innovations like the LPG conversion program. CarbonBlack then applies its search engine marketing expertise and ensures each service centre is well represented in the search engines.

Investing in a targeted approach

By better understanding your customers you can more easily invest in targeted marketing campaigns. This gives you a better return on investing in your own business.

Online marketing tools are part of the CarbonBlack service and diagnose customer enquiries, update you on how many customer leads have been received, the number of quotes placed and how many website visitors you have had. CarbonBlack can even time how long people are staying on your site and the time it takes to research and place orders. This allows you to promote existing services and launch new services exactly to the people who need and want them. CarbonBlack, specialising in customer acquisition, now also provides market research and email marketing to over 600,000 profiled consumers.

Expanding its online shopping network

As part of its commitment to expanding the CarbonBlack consumer footprint, a series of online shopping alliances will be rolled out over the coming months. This will see CarbonBlack’s digital catalogue of auto parts, service capabilities and network members placed in strategic pre-shopping sites favoured by Australian consumers. This is all part of CarbonBlack’s drive to reach 2 million active automotive shoppers in the coming year.

Cost-effectively maintaining and expanding your business

As consumers continue to seek value in every purchase they make, measuring your marketing effectiveness to both maintain and grow your business makes sense. CarbonBlack can partner with you to provide cost-effective sales leads every week and only charge you for the leads they send.

Car repair and servicing bills different in Sydney suburbs

The big differences in car repair costs  between Sydney suburbs and between auto service centres, as mentioned in the Daily Telegraph today, is the key reason why CarbonBlacks’ customers wanted us to expand to all things auto.  As with tyres, our customers can  view customer feedback and get  online comparative quotes for car repair/servicing in whatever postcodes they choose without the hassle of making lots of phonecalls.
