Search Engine Optimization in 2017 vs. SEO in 2007
Today, 10 years ago, search engines were not as smart as they are in 2017. Algorithm changes have been occurring regularly and are still occurring due to companies like Google pushing out new updates and features for their search engine. This will only make the quality of search results better for the end users.


Additionally, you need to realize that progress doesn't stop. By 2020, techniques that are effectively used by SEO enthusiasts in 2017 will either be  repetitive or essential. They can build updates on it, or they will be expelled in the entirety.
Keeping up is key, but there's a difference between learning and application too.
So, here is a list of Search engine optimization changes in 2017 that were either not present in 2007 or features that were not as optimized (updated).
Optimized Mobile Experience
In this year alone, Google has started implementing several upgrades that will make mobile experience a very important factor for ranking. You should know that this update has been an obvious path that any and all SEO experts have been waiting for.
10 years ago, the mobile experience was not given much attention unlike with PCs that were the most popular at the time, but now that more than 60% of web searches originate from mobile devices, it was more than obvious that they would choose to give mobile browsing, its due credit.
Innovation
You have to be original, or it is going to be difficult for you to survive. In this year, to prevent content spamming, Google, for example, has implemented an update that has a psyche of its own.
Its job is to restrict spammed and plagiarized content from the front page. Also, it's the same for the various pages after that. The competition was already there, but this update has kicked it up another notch.
So, in order to create SEO rich content, originality in any and all forms of writing is heavily favored by the new Google update.
Security
Evidently, any website with a buffed up security framework in place gets ranked higher on SERP. Since user security is important for any site that requests personal information from users. Google has always championed the cause of the users, and this makes perfect sense as you don’t want to visit a site that can compromise your personal or financial data.
Amazon and eBay are prime examples of this. They get higher positioning on SERP because of the security they offer their users (unlike in 2007). So, obviously, Google (as an example) will recommend Amazon because they want to protect user interests.
Good answers!
Google currently wants you to provide rich answers on your websites. If you provide the audience with specific and relevant answers, your ranking on SERP will improve since you're providing users with exactly what they need and want.
Clearly, unlike in 2007 where users had to sieve through information to get answers or people could get away with keyword stuffing. Google now values what we view, and in their chase to provide excellent user experience, this algorithm update makes a great case for user experience.
Caching
As far as web sites are concerned, caching can be used to improve your ranking. Since Google favors sites with quick load time. So based on the possibility that you can appropriately utilize caching as an asset to accomplish such load times, there will be a good chance that your website will rise in SERP positioning.

Getting More Out of Each Click with "Post-Click Marketing"

By
With the economy now officially in a recession (as if we didn't know that), marketers are under increasing pressure to do more with less. On the interactive marketing side, few marketers will get budget increases enabling them to drive more clicks. The challenge, then, is to maximize marketing productivity—to get more leads out of the same number of clicks. This is the first of two posts that will look at how to improve conversion rates to get more value from each click. One answer to this challenge is provided by "post-click marketing," a.k.a. lead automation management vendors. While the specifics of each service vary, all of them essentially: automate the process of extracting visitor IP information from your log files; match the IP address to an organization; filter out ISPs; and map the company name to one or more external databases to provide additional information (company size, industry, key contacts etc.). The better services also use geo-location filte...

The 8 Layers of a B2B Web Marketing Plan

By
One way to think about designing a B2B technology web marketing plan is as a series of layers, like an onion. At the core is SEO—simply making your website "findable" through organic search to buyers who are looking for what you offer. Working out from the center are concentric layers of additional investment and sophistication. Small companies and start-ups with modest budgets will focus most of their efforts on the inner layers or rings, which are primarily designed for lead generation. As the company and its marketing budget grow, efforts can be expanded to the outer layers, which are aimed more at branding but support lead generation efforts. Ideally, a company eventually reaches the outer layer where pure branding activities (such as print advertising) help to maximize the effectiveness of lead generation programs (such as SEM) near the center of the circle. This diagram shows how different types of web marketing programs can be prioritized in order to maximize the retur...

Email Campaign, Newsletter and Banner Ad Click-Through Rates (CTR)

By
When planning online advertising and email promotion budgets, it's critical to calculate the likely ROI upfront whenever possible, as well as to establish campaign benchmarks. The first step is understanding the average and likely range of CTRs for various programs. The growth in online advertising, the proliferation of enewsletters, the emergence of new forms of information delivery such as RSS and the emergence of social media sites have all affected CTR, so planning based on current data is crucial. It can be challenging to find current statistics, but based on several studies, these are typical CTR ranges for email newsletter ads, email campaigns (blasts or internally-produced enewsletters), and banner ads. Email newsletter advertisements Open rates range from 28-40%, with an average of about 33%—meaning that roughly one-third of the subscriber base is likely to see your ad. The Advertising Is Good For You blog tracks these statistics from DoubleClick . The average CT...
