In the animal world, a spider πŸ•· is an air-breathing arthropod that has eight legs, chelicerae with fangs able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silkπŸ•Έ. Eek! Yikes! So creepy! 😱

In the world, a spider is something entirely different and guaranteed to not make your skin crawl (whew!). Let’s refer to our trusty Blue Traffic dictionary πŸ“– to confirm.

Fun fact: If an organization wants its website to rank in a , it must first be indexed. If webpages aren't crawled and indexed, the search engine can't find them organically.

MISCONCEPTION: "Ranking first in the search results means I am the most profitable."

The Truth: No, this is not always the case. Generally speaking, ranking first will drive more traffic to your website compared to ranking second. The biggest issue with ranking No. 1 in the search results all the time is the cost. Sometimes, spending an arm and a leg on SEM doesn’t have the return that you want. This could lead to overspending on keyword bids and a high CPC.

Sometimes, it’s better to settle for second place. This could lower your CPC, resulting in a freed-up budget, which can help you appear in more searches. These results can lead to more traffic for your money and therefore, more sales.

Misconceptions: Often, we see people wanting either SEM or SEO. But, having a plan for both is smart business.

As long as the SEO and SEM efforts are optimized for that and things are being measured correctly, they are extremely valuable together. By not running any SEM efforts, it leaves the door wide open for your competitors to take the most profitable keywords. Talk to us about a plan: www.bluetraffic.com
