Mistake 3
Expert Guidance
Google rewards detail and the perfect triangle - how?
Look at a Google search return
Today it will feature the "words return/response" however,
Increasingly a strip of "Images" feature on page 1
The Top "Tagged Images" for the search term
Those images push at least 1 "click competitor" off Page 1.
You have to have an image strategy, especially when you understand how fast the brain processes an image!
The Top "Tagged Videos" will often feature on Page 1, too.
ALL images and Videos are linked back to your articles!
So a smart Google strategy uses images and video's to push competitors off Page 1, to increase you message speed of comprehension, plus increase clicks from images.
So to dominate page 1 you have 2 choices PAY for per Click ads
Or just think "how am I going to feature for words, images and video?"
TIP: Google knows you understand an image 60,000 times faster than a word!
