    Google's latest update, Hummingbird, is optimised for natural-language searches (like you might do if you were speaking to Siri or Google Glass). It does this by favouring: 

    • Keywords over context

    • Exact-match sentences

    • Context & Authority over keywords

    • Sophisticated SEO tactics

    Correct Answer
    A. Context & Authority over keywords
    Explanation
    Google's latest update, Hummingbird, is optimized for natural-language searches, which means it focuses on understanding the context and authority of the content rather than just keywords. This means that instead of simply matching keywords, Hummingbird looks at the overall context of the search query and the authority of the websites providing the information. By doing so, Google aims to provide more relevant and accurate search results for users. This update emphasizes the importance of high-quality and authoritative content that matches the user's search intent, rather than relying solely on specific keywords.

    • Having more engaging content on your site

    • Linking adverts to your website

    • Increasing your keywords

    • Adding more images

    Correct Answer
    A. Having more engaging content on your site
    Explanation
    Having more engaging content on your site can optimize both on-site and off-site rankings. Engaging content attracts and retains visitors, increasing the time they spend on your site and reducing bounce rates, which positively impacts on-site rankings. It also encourages users to share your content, leading to more backlinks and improved off-site rankings. Additionally, engaging content enhances user experience, improves brand reputation, and increases the likelihood of conversions and customer loyalty.

    • Reputation and authority

    • Adwords and click through rate

    • Number of visitors to your site

    • SEO and keywords

    Correct Answer
    A. Reputation and authority
    Explanation
    A high ranking is built on reputation and authority. Reputation refers to the perception and credibility of a website or brand among its users and the online community. It is earned through consistent delivery of quality content, positive user experiences, and positive feedback from users. Authority, on the other hand, is gained through expertise in a particular niche or industry, as well as the trust and recognition from both users and search engines. When a website has a strong reputation and authority, it is more likely to be ranked higher in search engine results pages, leading to increased visibility and traffic.

This means that when Panda detects websites that have poor content or engage in spammy practices, it will penalize them by giving them a lower ranking in Google's search results.

    The one number you need to watch to determine ROI on your PPC ads is...

    • (average-clicks-per-customer) - (cost-per-customer)

    • (average-cost-per-customer) - (clicks-per-customer)

    • (average-value-per-customer) - (cost-per-customer)

    • (average-impressions-per-customer) - (clicks-per-customer)

    Correct Answer
    A. (average-value-per-customer) - (cost-per-customer)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is (average-value-per-customer) - (cost-per-customer). This equation calculates the return on investment (ROI) for pay-per-click (PPC) ads by subtracting the cost per customer from the average value per customer. This metric allows you to determine the profitability of your PPC ads by comparing the revenue generated from each customer to the cost incurred to acquire that customer. A higher value indicates a more favorable ROI, indicating that the PPC ads are generating more revenue than the cost of acquiring customers.
