How to Setup your own Proxy Server for Free


Do a simple Google search like “proxy servers” and you’ll find dozens of PHP proxy scriptson the Internet that will help you create proxy servers in minutes for free. The only limitation with PHP based proxies is that you require a web server to host the proxy scripts and second, you also need a domain name to act as an address for your proxy site.
If you don’t own a domain or server space, you can still create a personal proxy server for free and that too without requiring any technical knowledge.

Create a Free Proxy Server with Google App Engine

Here’s one such proxy site that you can build for your friends in China or even for your personal use (say for accessing blocked sites from office). This is created using Google App Engine and, contrary to what you may think, the setup is quite simple.
Step 1: Go to appengine.google.com and sign-in using your Google Account.
Step 2: Click the “Create an Application” button. Since this is your first time, Google will send a verification code via SMS to your mobile phone number. Type the code and you’re all set to create apps with Google App Engine.
Step 3: Choose a sub-domain* that will host your proxy server. Make sure the domain is available, agree to the Google Terms and click save. The sub-domain is also your App ID that will uniquely identify your proxy application.
For this example, we’ll use labnol-proxy-server as the App ID though you are free to choose any other unique name.
Step 4: OK, now that we have reserved the ID, it’s time to create and upload the proxy server application to Google App Engine. Go to python.org, download the 2.6.4 MSI Installer and install Python.
Step 5: Once Python is installed, go to code.google.com, download the Google App Engine SDK for Python and install it.
Step 6: Download this zip file and extract it to some folder on your desktop. The zip file, for the curious, contains a couple of text files (written in HTML and Python) that you can read with notepad.
Step 7: Start the Google App Engine Launcher program from the desktop and set the right values under Edit – > Preferences (see screenshot above).
Step 8. Click File – > Add Existing Application under the Google App Launcher program and browse to the directory that you created in Step 6. Click the Edit button and replace “YOUR_APP_ID” with the ID (sub-domain) that you reserved in Step 3.
Step 9: Click Deploy and your online proxy server is now ready for use.

Visual Tour – Setting up a Free Proxy with Google

You can edit the main.html file to change the appearance of your proxy server and you can even add Analytics and AdSense code to your proxy server in case it gets popular on the web.
The application is currently open to all users but you can add a layer of authentication so that only users who are logged-in into their Google Accounts can use your web proxy server.
If you have made any changes to your HTML files, you can upload the latest version to Google App Engine either by clicking the “Deploy” button again or use the following command – appcfg.py update <app-directory>

DO IT YOURSELF SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)


Ranking high in Google’s search results can have a phenomenal impact on the success of your business. You probably knew that already. But did you know that there are a few simple changes you can make yourself that can have a tremendous impact on your SEO?
# 1: Keyword Research
What keywords do you think your customers would type in to search for your products or services? A keyword can be one word (e.g. “optimization”), but multiple keywords or keyword phrases are usually preferred, because they are more specific and more likely to be what your customers are looking for.
Write down as many as you can think of. Brainstorm with your team. Think of alternative words. Consider geographical phrases if they are important to your customer. Also, get some ideas from your competitors’ websites. Try to make a list of 20-30 keyword phrases.
Choose the two keyword phrases you think would be searched for the most. But also remember, the more competition there is for a keyword, the harder it is to achieve top rankings. If you want to rank high in Google for the keyword “insurance”, you have a very long journey ahead. So try your best to select two keyword phrases that are the most relevant to you business but that are not vague nor competitive. It’s a good idea to have 2 or 3 words in each phrase (e.g. “wedding catering services”)
#2 Web Copy 
Web copy refers to all the words or text on your website. Because content is king in the world of search engines, your keyword phrases need to be placed strategically on your webpage to convince Google that your content is highly relevant to those keywords. The more prominent they are, the better. (Keep in mind that as important as search engines are, customers come first, so make sure your copy also reads well.)
Here’s how you can increase each keyword’s prominence:
• Place your keywords in headings, preferably at the beginning of the heading;
• Include keywords towards the top of the page;
• Bold or italicize keywords where appropriate;
• Instead of having a link to another page that says “Click here to read more “, reword it to include your keywords.
An important tip is to also include these keywords in your HTML “title tag”. Use your content management system to make these changes yourself, or perhaps ask your web developer to do it if you’re unsure how.
Once you have fine-tuned your home page, consider adding new content, such as detailed descriptions of what you offer, FAQs and informative articles about your products and services.
It’s also good to bear in mind that search engines can only read text, not pictures. Often web developers embed words in images to look better for website visitors or use Flash for animation, but this is a major impediment to search engines.
#3 Linking
Each link from another website to your website (not from your website) is considered by search engines as a vote of popularity for your business and will improve your rankings.
But it is the quality, not quantity, of the links that is crucial. The other websites should be relevant to your industry, and preferably highly regarded themselves. Ten quality links count far more than 500 links from arbitrary websites. In the same way your personal business network can have a significant impact on the success of your business, so too the online network you build on the internet.
Brainstorm all the relevant websites that could link to you, such as non-competing companies, and industry bodies and organizations. Write a friendly email to each describing the benefit their visitors would get in knowing about your business, and request them to create a link to your website. Most people will not respond first time round, so a follow-up phone call is usually required. How do I monitor my results?
Monitor your rankings in Google over the next few months by typing your chosen keywords into the search box, and recording your ranking. Also look at your hosting reports to understand what search terms your visitors are using to find your website.
The above process can be also be repeated for each page of your website. Remember to keep updating your content, and continually increase the number of links to your website.
Ask your virtual assistant
And the best part of all? This is an easy task to hand your virtual assistant. A good virtual assistant can do the keyword research for you, make changes to your web copy and identify potential quality websites that could provide quality links to your website. He/she can also reach out and contact those sites for you.
Are you thinking of new ways to get visibility for your business in the coming year? Put your virtual assistant to work on a project like this now and be ready for more visibility and traffic to your website in the new year!

Tips For Cutting Down Overhead When Managing Multinational SEO


Handling established campaigns across multiple countries can quickly become a case of handling overwhelming quantities of data interspersed with never-ending menial jobs, preventing the SEO from developing their strategy to squeeze yet more value from their campaign ROI.
Here is part one of a two-part guide to some of the key automations our team uses to keep on top of the game internationally.

Segmented ‘Micro’ Reports

Based on the effectiveness of simple spark-line graphs and minimal data points in relevant context, micro reports should give you a quick, visual view of the campaign state of play within the context of the preceding week and the same period last year.
Result: Fast, flexible reports on key metrics with no clutter and no analysis(!).Multinational Micro Reports
Regardless of the metrics measured however, the report should be comprehensive in covering all areas of the campaign – so include things like click data from the last email campaign, for example – and should not include any dialogue: save that for monthly review reports.
Here’s my absolute minimum weekly KPIs for keeping an eye on just SEO & PPC multinational campaign ROI (I’ve left out Affiliates, Social, Display, etc for simplicity’s sake but can revisit if there’s enough interest).
For all reports, run for the total campaign, and for each target country in your campaign.
1.  Total Organic / PPC / Total Visits
  • For each channel and country: 12 month sparkline; last week’s timeline with previous week and YOY comparison lines; percentage non-brand in the week and average for month vs. same month last year.
What you’re looking out for here: sudden slips, particularly in the year on year numbers. Most verticals have a distinct annual trend. Are you outperforming it when it counts? Are you simply seeing a rise because there’s always a rise?
Also, you should always look to increase your non-brand percentage because it will drive a higher proportion of new visits, growing overall sales rather than cannibalising traffic sales initially driven by another channel.
2.  Top 25 Non-Brand Organic / PPC Keyphrases Driving Visits
  • For each channel & country: table w/ term, 12 month sparkline, visits, +/- week, +/- month, +/- YOY month.What you’re looking out for here: new breakthrough terms, and high value performance terms slipping.
Again, take seasonality into account, especially for organic. PPC YOY comparisons should be further investigated if dramatically different: has budget allocated to the term changed: why? Is it intentional, and if so was it based on CPC or CPA? Was it a valid decision or should it be reviewed?
3.  Top 25 Non-Brand Organic / PPC Keyphrases Driving Converting Visits
  • Similar to the above point, only this time also pull in revenue generated +/- week, +/- month, +/- YOY month for converting traffic fitting the criteria.
4.  Top 25 SEO ‘Opportunity Keyphrases’
  • For each country: term, rank, impressions, clicks, ranking URL, URL <title>, URL Meta Description.I define an ‘Opportunity Keyphrase’ as a relevant search term which has high potential traffic associated with it, that my site is currently ranking outside of the top three search result terms, but within the top 10 (inclusive).
Why are these terms worth giving special attention to?
Simply because we know that SERP clickthrough rates go up exponentially as you approach position one in the SERPs, therefore for high traffic terms, moving from position 4-10 to 1-3 will have a significant bottom line impact to your traffic.
Every URL flagged in this report should be scheduled for onpage auditing of its SEO around the highlighted term, and should have an internal and external linkbuilding strategy executed over the following week.
Of all the micro reports, this is the most useful to also send to the local country teams to act as a guide to upcoming optimisation work, but also as a reminder of the importance of core areas of optimisation (after they implement the recommended work, inevitably you’ll see the terms switch up into top three rankings on a well set-up domain).
5.  Top 25 SERP Conversion ‘Opportunity Keyphrases’
Similar to the above report, except this time our focus is on SERP results where we areperforming in the top three, but are not converting impressions to clicks well enough. This time, we should be scheduling a local copywriter to review the <title> and meta description for suitability in converting searchers on the highlighted search term in their country.
  • Conversion Funnel ‘Points of Failure’
    • I call this report the ‘Points of Failure’ because a well set up conversion funnel should strive to achieve 100% conversion (although this is of course impossible!). For each country, a straightforward recreation of a funnel (a la Google Analytics’ Goal Funnel) fornew site visitors with +/- week on week, and +/- year on year is sufficient to get a good feel for where progress is being made (or not!).If you’re running major funnel optimisation then include page load speed info for your funnel URLs.
  • Site Speed
For each country: run for sitewide, and top 25 slowest URLs, avg. page load time, +/- week on week, and +/- year on year. Watch out for erratic results week on week as well as any sudden drops. Both are indicative of a struggling server and require further investigation into server capacity and tolerance.
Obviously, you’re striving to ensure you get as fast as possible page load times – certainly for the DOM execution to improve user experience. But remember, Google uses ‘Headless’ page execution to incorporate JavaScript execution into page rendering times so pay particular attention to parallelising your static assets and ensure you follow every best-practice piece of advice out there (page speed is nothing new!).
You may find it useful to build testing tools using PhantomJS for more robust Page Speed reporting tools.

Until Next Time, Happy Micro Reporting

So that’s my bare minimum micro-report suite recommendation. Everything in here can be automated and the data can be largely gathered from Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools for that purpose.
Hopefully you’ll find the micro-report useful to spot sudden changes in activity across a range of data points, and come to appreciate its use as a bellweather for the campaign. It should, of course, not replace more considered monthly reporting containing insightful commentary and action points.
Part two of this post (next month) will cover Alert Triggered Reports, and how we can use automation to save us at critical campaign moments of crisis.

A Primer On AdWords Remarketing Using Google Analytics


Remarketing has been around for quite a while as part of the Google AdWords suite of tools. Remarketing works by creating a “list” or “audience” within Google AdWords. The pages that are pertinent to that audience are tagged with special code that allows Google to place a cookie in the browser of anyone who visits that page.
It’s a great way for you to get your brand out there in front of your website visitors, even when they’re not thinking about shopping and buying from your site. There are tons of ways for you to segment your website to serve remarketing ads; you can even get as granular as per-product remarketing.
Think of the power of being able to show someone the exact used car they viewed on your website – on many sites they visit after they’ve left you, for up to 30 days. New sites, social media sites, email accounts, etc. All can remind your shopper of that great car they looked at. If they bought it, your brand and their choice can be confirmed in their mind, this could help alleviate buyer’s remorse.
Previously, we created lists based on sections or products within our site, there was some guesswork and some analytics involved in creating these marketing lists. Now we can useRemarketing with Google Analytics to create a marketing list for those that spend a specified amount of time on your site, or place items in the shopping cart.
Available to Analytics users who are administrators with at least one linked AdWords account, as of July 27th this feature was in beta and being rolled out by the end of the summer.
You can find the remarketing information by clicking on the “Admin” tab in the upper right corner of Analytics, and then find the tab that says “Remarketing Lists”:
With Remarketing with Analytics you can now create one tag, but serve different ads based on the specified parameters, be it time, shopping cart interaction, number of pages viewed, etc.
Google Analytics will help you create lists to use as audiences in your Google Remarketing campaigns, and send them to your AdWords account with the click of a button.
You can use the setup to create a marketing list for those that spend a specific amount of time on your site, or visit a specific section or complete a goal. You can have a remarketing campaign for shoppers who view pink sequin sneakers and add them to your shopping cart, but don’t buy them. You can also have a remarketing list for the “shoes” section of your website. The possibilities are endless.
True – one of the options is not “Spends X minutes on my site” – but you can pretty much createany kind of remarketing list by using a conversion goal.
Setting conversion goals is easy – and once they’re set, you can choose which configured goal after you choose the “All visitors who completed a conversion goal” radial button above.
Now we have a great way to target our audience, we need to be sure the ad copy stands up to the segmentation. This is not a “set it and forget it” proposition. You need to create and test your ad copy. You need to test ad sizes and if text ads work better than graphic ads.
There are a lot of choices on the display network. Try them all, see what works best. Because your analytics are hooked into your AdWords account, you’re going to see amazing data that will help you fine tune your campaigns.
Check out your placements every few weeks and ask Google to not show your ads on sites. Sometimes your ads will be shown on sites that you don’t like, or that aren’t the best match for your brand. You can tell Google to stop showing your ads. 
By creating these marketing lists, and setting up graphics to entice users back to your website, you can gain advertising placements in places that you would never be able to afford through traditional display media. I’ve seen my clients’ ads on sites like FoxNews.com, AOL.com, CNN.com – placements small clients could never afford are now available for fractions of the cost.
