Next in IWTV: S2E02 "Do you know what it means to be loved by death?"

Firstly, a couple of news:

IWTV took a plummet in its cable live viewing ratings, like more than -50%. But TV rating has been declining and it's only one of all the factors they judge for renewal.

Apparently, AMC+ rejects non US credit card after the 7-day trial

The good news is, according to Flixtor, for the past four days, IWTV has been in top 3 for TV shows on iTunes in USA, top 10 worldwide, it also appears in Canada. IWTV is also top 2 TV show on Amazon (non Amazon Prime) and number 1 worldwide. It still tops AMC+ own rank as well.

Now, reminders:

The new episode will be dropped at 3 a.m. ET on AMC+ and broadcast at 9 p.m. on AMC channel. If you use Amazon, you may get it earlier based on your timezone. Do not forget to use #iwtv spoilers and add that to your muted words. Tweet about the episode with #InterviewwithTheVampire.

If you have cable, please put IWTV on your TV while it's on AMC channel. Or get your DVR ready. they record that number as well.

IWTV S2 is also available in UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Greece, Germany, MENA on various platforms. Check them here.

For anyone who has a non-American credit card and wants to help with the numbers, please wait until the season ends so you can get 7-days trial and binge watch on AMC+ 🙏 *whisper* or you can do this email trick

After watching the episode, please rate it on TV ratings platforms, such as IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes etc. This series tends to get a lot of haters; from book purists, homophobes, racists, you name it. S1 got review bombed.

Okay, that's it. Enjoy the new episode whenever you get it!

Animal farming ranks alongside fossil fuel production as one of the two most destructive industries on Earth. It’s not just the vast greenhouse gas emissions and the water and air pollution it causes. Even more important is the amount of land it requires. Land use is a crucial environmental metric, because every hectare we occupy is a hectare that cannot support wild ecosystems.

Wild ecosystems are crucial for the survival of most species on Earth, and of Earth systems themselves: for example, the rainforest and cerrado of South America help to regulate weather systems. The Amazon rainforest is being destroyed above all by cattle ranching, whose expansion is driven in part by the foodie fad for “grass-fed” beef. The cerrado is being trashed primarily by soy farming to produce feed for pigs and chickens.

Feeding ourselves with animal products is a fantastically profligate and inefficient way of using land, swallowing at least four times as much as all the other food we grow while providing just 17% of our calories. More than any other factor, it drives the destruction of forests, wetlands, savannas, rivers and other habitats. Weaning ourselves off these products is as important as weaning ourselves off oil, gas and coal.

Governments seeking to ban alternatives to animal products have scarcely sought to disguise their motivation: protectionism. Several politicians and officials have openly admitted that they’re trying to defend established industries – meat and dairy – against competition. In every other sector they claim to favour “free markets”, and protectionism attracts major penalties. In this sector, it is enforced by legislation.

Hi Joy,

Sorry if you have answered this before, but I was wondering which purchasing platform actually gives you the most money (or is most beneficial to you if there are other factors in play)? I would prefer my purchase to benefit you the most.

I have, but thanks for asking!

I gain the most money from my Payhip storefront, where I'm able to offer DRM-free editions of all my work.

But if that doesn't work for you, anywhere you buy from is good for me as it helps boost my sales ranking.

For paperbacks, I do earn slightly more from BookShop.org because they offer better affiliate rates (Flirting Edition) (Fluff), but otherwise I earn roughly the same flat rate across the board for all paperbacks regardless of how much the bookstore is charging, with the exception being Australia where the conversion rate faffs things.

My paperback rates will be going up in the last week of February to accommodate for the price hikes the publishers are pushing again, so if anyone's been thinking about it, now might be a good time.

(I list the books as $14.99, but retailers are allowed to take that as a suggestion and charge significantly more. I'll likely be raising it to $17.99 on my end because, at present, I'm earning 90 cents per paperback, or in the case of Australia, $00.01 🙃)

For audiobooks, I'd appreciate it if people bought from my Payhip rather than Audible, as Audible takes 80% of my royalties and doesn't let me set my own prices. As requested, I'll be uploading large files along with the chapter-by-chapter files for those who wanted that. (I'm actually doing that just now!)

But again, if Audible is more convenient or you've got credits, great! That boosts my sales rankings which makes it more likely for the algorithm to push it.

Speaking of algorithims, once a book or audiobook gets more than 50 reviews, the Amazon algorithm starts pushing it to wider audiences, so that's another great way you can help authors! So if anyone ever feels guilty about only ever being able to afford Amazon, please know authors still appreciate the sales, but we'd love it even more if you left reviews!

Brazilian cities with highest quality of life concentrated in southeastern São Paulo state, new study finds

A new study that utilizes the Social Progress Index (SPI) to evaluate the quality of life across all 5,570 municipalities in Brazil was released earlier this month. According to researchers, eight of the 10 highest-ranking municipalities are located in the southeastern São Paulo state, while the lowest-ranking municipalities are from the northern Amazon region. 

Brazil’s two largest and most well-known cities didn’t make the top of the list. São Paulo ranked 40th with low scores for social inclusion, and Rio de Janeiro ranked 229th thanks to high violence rates, poor education, and climate vulnerability.

Launched in 2014 by Professor Michael Porter of Harvard Business School, this indicator considers social and environmental aspects, rather than economic factors like gross domestic product (GDP) and per capita income, to measure cities’ quality of life.

Using over 300 different indicators provided by government agencies and research institutions, the index is based on three main pillars, including basic human needs, foundations of well-being, and opportunities. It’s also divided into 12 categories, such as nutrition and medical care, water and sanitation, security, social inclusion, and environmental quality.

Hi Jenn, I wonder why it is that some authors are able to sell multiple books without an impressive sales history (none of their titles have earned out, for example) whereas others are penalized for this same thing? It seems very unfair.

Getting published is not a scientific experiment, where if you do XYZ in the right order, you will get a certain expected result. It's not a contest, where if you reach a certain milestone, you get a pizza party. Nor is it even a competition where writers are pitted against one another and only a limited number of the highest scorers can "win".

Skill and persistence are factors -- but so are timing, and random luck - the right writer with the right idea at the right time. Kismet, serendipity, etc.

And one writer's success does not preclude any other writer's success. It's not a pie with only so many slices. If one writer gets a slice, they aren't taking a slice away from you or preventing you from getting a slice later.

I can't tell you if you will end up with a slice at the end of the day (you DO still need that skill, persistence, luck and timing!) But I can tell you that your getting or not getting a slice has nothing to do with anyone else getting or not getting a slice. More pie is being made all the time!

Truth Bomb #1: If a publisher loves your book AND thinks your book will sell, they will want to publish it, regardless of any other factor.

Maybe "some people" are able to get more book deals because, despite an iffy previous sales track, the publisher believes that the next book will do well for whatever reason, and "others" don't actually have that strong a next book. That's possible.

Truth Bomb #2: A book could never earn out, and still be profitable to the publisher.

You don't know what people's sales track is really like, or if it is "impressive" or not. Unless you are privy to their royalty statements, you have no idea how their book might have done.

"OK, but I can see their Amazon ranking or BookScan sales are lousy" -- so? Amazon ranking means nothing, and BookScan sales are not accurate, and not only that, a book could TANK in bookstores and still be profitable to the publisher through subrights, licensing, educational sales, special sales, etc. YOU SIMPLY HAVE NO IDEA. And it's none of your business, either.

So maybe "some people" are able to get multiple book deals because, in fact, despite whatever you may think you know, their previous books did just fine, actually, whereas "others" did not. Also a possibility!

Or -- maybe "some people" are just lucky. If that's the case, well, you could get lucky, too, so no need to begrudge anyone else's good fortune.

Responsive Web Design: Best Practices for Optimal User Experience and SEO

In today’s digital age, where the majority of internet users access websites through various devices, responsive web design has become paramount. It’s not just about making a website look good; it’s about ensuring seamless functionality and accessibility across all screen sizes and devices. Responsive web design (RWD) is a critical approach that allows websites to adapt to different devices and screen sizes, providing an optimal viewing and interaction experience.

Importance of Responsive Web Design:

Responsive web design is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it improves user experience by ensuring that visitors can easily navigate and interact with the website regardless of the device they’re using. This leads to higher engagement, lower bounce rates, and increased conversion rates. Secondly, with the proliferation of mobile devices, responsive design is crucial for reaching a wider audience. Google also prioritizes mobile-friendly websites in its search results, making responsive design a key factor for SEO success.

Key Principles to Follow:

Fluid Grids: Instead of fixed-width layouts, use fluid grids that can adapt to different screen sizes.

Flexible Images and Media: Ensure that images and media elements can resize proportionally to fit various devices.

Media Queries: Utilize CSS media queries to apply different styles based on screen characteristics such as width, height, and resolution.

Mobile-First Approach: Start designing for mobile devices first, then progressively enhance the layout for larger screens.

Performance Optimization: Optimize website performance by minimizing HTTP requests, reducing file sizes, and leveraging caching techniques.

Tips for Optimization:

Prioritize Content: Display essential content prominently and prioritize functionality for mobile users.

Optimize Touch Targets: Make buttons and links large enough to be easily tapped on touchscreen devices.

Viewport Meta Tag: Use the viewport meta tag to control how the webpage is displayed on different devices.

Testing Across Devices: Regularly test the website across various devices and browsers to ensure consistent performance and appearance.

Progressive Enhancement: Implement features in layers, starting with basic functionality and progressively enhancing it for more capable devices.

Impact on User Experience:

Responsive web design directly impacts user experience by providing a seamless and consistent experience across devices. Users no longer have to pinch and zoom or struggle with tiny buttons on their smartphones. Instead, they can effortlessly navigate through the website, leading to higher satisfaction and engagement. A positive user experience ultimately translates into increased conversions and customer loyalty.

SEO and Responsive Design:

Responsive web design plays a significant role in SEO. Google, the leading search engine, recommends responsive design as the best practice for mobile optimization. Responsive websites have a single URL and HTML code, making it easier for search engines to crawl, index, and rank content. Additionally, responsive design eliminates the need for separate mobile websites, preventing issues such as duplicate content and diluted link equity.

Real-Life Examples:

Apple: Apple’s website seamlessly adapts to different screen sizes, providing an optimal browsing experience on both desktops and mobile devices.

Amazon: Amazon’s responsive design ensures that users can easily shop and navigate through its vast catalog on any device, contributing to its success as a leading e-commerce platform.

HubSpot: HubSpot’s website is a prime example of a responsive design that prioritizes content and functionality, catering to users across various devices.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, responsive web design is not just a trend; it’s a necessity in today’s digital landscape. By adhering to best practices and optimizing for user experience, websites can effectively reach and engage audiences across desktops, smartphones, and tablets. As Google continues to prioritize mobile-friendly websites, investing in responsive design is crucial for maintaining visibility and driving organic traffic. Embrace responsive design to stay ahead in the competitive online ecosystem.

Recent SEO & Marketing News for Ecommerce, November 2023

As promised, here is the separate report on marketing and SEO news for ecommerce businesses, up to the end of November. This is now separate from the ecommerce report (which will be out in the next week or so).

I probably won't be posting SEO and marketing news again until the new year, so this is my chance to remind you that I plan on leaving Twitter soon. You can still keep caught up here on Tumblr, plus daily on Bluesky and on LinkedIn. My plan is to have a new way to follow my news posts in a more timely fashion early in 2024, so stay tuned!

SEO: GOOGLE & OTHER SEARCH ENGINES 

Google launched another core ranking update on August 22, which ended on Sept. 7. eBay, Amazon and Etsy lost a fair amount of page visibility in the UK, according to this analysis. The US version of the same study saw large drops for the same 3 sites, while sites with “user-generated content” did well. Then Google released a Helpful Content update, which finished on September 28. Sites with poor UX (user experience, for example too many pop-up ads) and too much focus on on-page SEO seem to be experiencing the worst effects. Google also gave out tips on what might be considered “unhelpful.” Then, Google rolled out the October Core update, which ended October 19. But wait, there’s more! They also did a November core update, which finished at the end of the month. 

Google has long denied using click data to determine search ranking, but the current antitrust hearings have revealed a different story. We also learned that it cost $26.3 billion in 2021 alone to buy spots as the default search engine in many browsers and devices. Here are more revelations about search ranking from the trial. 

Deleting old content will not necessarily help your Google rankings or traffic. However, if Google is penalizing your pages because it deems them “unhelpful”, removing those less-helpful pages will probably help the site overall. 

Internal links on each important page of your website will generally result in better Google traffic. The study covers 23 million links, but the author notes it only demonstrates correlation, not causation. Different anchor text for the same link is an even better predictor of Google search traffic. Note that Google staff recently stated links aren’t a top-3 ranking factor any more, though. 

Optimizing category/collection/section pages can provide a big SEO boost on an ecommerce website. Here are some tips. 

Google recently started showing follower counts for social media links in search results, but says they are not a ranking factor. 

Large media sites overwhelmingly rank at the top of Google search for common queries in many areas. It’s an interesting read. 

My periodic reminder that “LSI keywords” don’t help your SEO. LSI is an outdated method of data analysis that tries to find connections between words, but it was invented before the internet as we know it existed, and simply isn’t relevant for Google. Yes, related words are good, but LSI is not the way to find them. 

Semi-advanced content: how to figure out your potential buyers’ path to your product through Google data. This is a little more detailed than figuring out which problems people have and how you can solve them, but the basic idea is there. 

In case you missed everything on Google in August, here is a roundup, then you can catch up on September, and finally, October’s changes. 

Not Google

Bing Chat (basically, regular Bing search with Chat GPT involved) is now known as “Copilot”. The name change alone is unlikely to increase traffic, though, which is showing very little gain on Google despite the AI-driven search experience. 

Yahoo’s search redesign is expected to start appearing in early 2024. 

Yandex, the top Russian search engine, is for sale.

SOCIAL MEDIA - All Aspects, By Site

General

Branding is an important part of social media for businesses; here are some good tips on representing your business well and getting seen. As I always remind folks, you don’t need to be on every platform; that can actually be harmful. “It’s unlikely your audience will be active on every single social media platform, especially considering how many are out there in this day and age. Be thoughtful about which platforms you want to leverage for your social media presence. Once you know where your audience is most active, ask yourself whether the platform itself aligns with your brand values, story, identity, and tone of voice.”

Facebook (includes relevant general news from Meta)

European users can soon pay a subscription to opt out of advertising on Facebook and Instagram. 

Facebook uses member information to train its artificial intelligence models, but you can opt some of your data out of that process. Unfortunately, “[t]here’s no guarantee from the company that it’ll delete it, or that it’ll provide you with the information you’re asking for, even if it’s yours.” Also, this only includes the outside data and not your actual posts. 

Meta has new AI-tools for its ads, but not all accounts have access yet, as they continue to test. Ad revenue was up 23% in the third quarter.  

Instagram

Just like many other platforms, Instagram has issues with people advertising illegal things for sale. They are also blocking people posting research on the problem, instead of blocking the illegal ads. 

The basics of Instagram SEO: “The platform says there isn’t one Instagram algorithm. Instead, there’s a personalized set of classifiers and processes for each user.”

LinkedIn

Like most sites, LinkedIn is looking to upgrade some features with AI, but unlike most sites, it is planning on summarizing the feeds of its Premium subscribers so they don’t have to read everything. 

Yes, SEO can help you get found on LinkedIn.

Pinterest

Pinterest is now a bigger shopping destination for Gen Z, who are now the site’s “fastest-growing audience”. 

Reddit

Reddit removed its awards earlier this year, and will be replacing them with gold awards only, and will also pay top creators who earn at least 10 gold a month. 

Reddit may end up blocking Google and Bing from crawling the site, as a way to stop AI training. 

Snapchat

Snapchat ad revenue led to an improved 3rd quarter for Snap, but the company is still losing money. 

Threads

Threads - Meta’s Twitter competitor - continues to get upgrades, with polls and GIFs added recently. Apparently the site has almost 100 million users every month. They are now planning to launch in the EU by the end of the year.

TikTok

TikTok may be considering a ban on links to products for sale on other sites, although the company denied it. This may be to protect their own shopping platform: “Consumers in the U.S. are currently spending around $3 million to $4 million a day on TikTok Shop, up from around half a million to $1 million a day in June, the report says. TikTok staffers expect this number to exceed $10 million by the end of the year.”

That beta test is now live: TikTok Shop is officially in the United States. “As part of the rollout, the company is bringing features such as a dedicated shop tab on the home screen, live video shopping, shoppable ads and affiliate programs for creators…TikTok execs told The New York Times that more than 90% of sellers on TikTok Shop were based out of the U.S.” 

Longer videos may be a TikTok goal, as they are easier to place ads with.

Twitter

Twitter continues to die, losing users since it was sold. Advertisers are leaving completely, and others are not posting content. (Etsy has not posted any promotions on Twitter since November 14.)

Musk keeps stating Twitter may start charging users, and the company is forcing new members in New Zealand and the Philippines to pay $1 a year if they join via the web and want to tweet or retweet, i.e., they can still read without paying. A phone number is also needed for verification of new accounts in these countries. 

Twitter removed headlines from news link cards, but will be bringing them back soon. 

Tumblr

Tumblr will be rolling back some changes and focussing on “the core functionality” of the site, after many new features failed to gain traction. 

YouTube

Look for new AI video tools on YouTube in the near future; the new “Create” app is currently in beta for Android. 

If you produce Shorts for YouTube, you will want to know how that algorithm works. 

(CONTENT) MARKETING (includes blogging, emails, and strategies) 

Gmail, Yahoo and AOL are all implementing new email rules in 2024 that may impact some types of email newsletters, although most major companies have already complied with the new requirements. 

While Gmail hides your promotional emails, Yahoo is now offering new AI tools that will find those missing “gift cards, discount codes and store credits that people may have forgotten about.”

Newsletter option TinyLetter is being shut down by Malichimp. 

Substack users: be aware that your subscribers may see your address and phone number unless you change the default setting. 

The first step in writing content isn’t necessarily doing SEO keyword research [I’d argue that products are different than content, though, and that even forum or social driven content could benefit from a bit of SEO.] 

Looking for content marketing topics for December? Here are 5 ideas to get working on, and if you have some free time, get a head start on January.

ONLINE ADVERTISING (EXCEPT INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL MEDIA AND ECOMMERCE SITES) 

Did you know there are tools to track ads from different companies on many ad sites? Some are even free. [includes TikTok, Meta, Google and LinkedIn]

Ecommerce advertisers may find Amazon a better place to spend their budget compared to Google Ads. “Amazon’s search volume comprises 54% of all product-related searches in the United States.”

Google’s third quarter was decent, but Cloud revenue was below projections while ad money was up. Microsoft’s ad revenue also improved. 

Chrome plans on ending all third-party cookies by the end of the third quarter 2024, and will start with 1% of users in early 2024. This will affect some types of ads, if you are wondering why platforms start changing. 

Anyone using Google’s Performance Max campaigns may be interested in this overview of how to get the most out of them, with screenshots. 

STATS, DATA, TRACKING 

Since a lot of people still can’t figure out Google Analytics 4, here is yet another good overview. 

This new YouTube video from Google shows you how to figure out traffic sources in Google Analytics 4. 

Still working on moving to GA4? Here’s a bit more info, including how to save your old UA data. 

For video learners, here is “5 reasons for using Google Search Console”. [YouTube, 3 mins.]

BUSINESS & CONSUMER TRENDS, STATS & REPORTS; SOCIOLOGY & PSYCHOLOGY, CUSTOMER SERVICE 

A report out of the UK on small business use of online platforms calls for the UK government to better protect small businesses from the power differential often evident in these relationships. 

Amazon’s Prime Day sales barely beat last year, while their competitors actually dropped. [Washington Post gift link] Some analysts think this bodes poorly for the holiday season, and that consumers are looking for discounts.

Around 50% of Generation Zers in the US plan to shop in malls this holiday season, and people in general plan on spending less this year. But another study said nearly half of Gen Z shoppers will make at least some purchases on social media, while the US average is just ⅓. Most online holiday shopping will take place on mobile instead of computers, and ecommerce shopping will be up less than 5% per some reports, and over 10% according to others. Black Friday stats also indicate that mobile outpaced desktop - smart phones delivered 54% of online sales. “Global data from Shopify also showed strong mobile performance for merchants on that platform. Mobile versus desktop 76% to 24%, respectively.”

Large companies report that various types of consumer fraud are on the increase, and cost $100 billion annually. 

IMAGES, VIDEO, GRAPHIC DESIGN, & FREE ONLINE TOOLS

Thinking of using AI to create some products and images to sell? Be aware that AI art is not copyright-protected, at least in the US at the moment. A recent case led the court to rule that “human authorship is a bedrock requirement of copyright.” [article includes a copy of the entire case]

Need some free web design tools? Practical Ecommerce has a recent list of 19, and an even more recent list of 17. 

MISCELLANEOUS (including humour) 

A snarky article in the Verge had SEOs all worked up, and some were very defensive about it. I thought the whole thing was hilarious. 

Reminder that there are usually consequences for (and laws against) improper use of a customer’s private information, which includes asking them on a date. “Almost one in three people aged 18-34 have received unwanted romantic contact after giving their personal information to a business, a UK poll has shown.”

Do you know what happens to your website and social media accounts when you die? Sometimes, even the platforms get confused about this, and there are few laws. 

Jewellery finding company TierraCast is closing by the end of 2023.

Before diving into SEO strategies, it's essential to grasp how Amazon's A9 algorithm works. A9 is Amazon's search engine, and understanding its intricacies is the foundation of successful Amazon SEO. It's worth noting that A9 differs from Google's algorithm. While Google aims to provide information, Amazon's primary goal is to generate sales. Therefore, the factors that influence rankings on Amazon are unique.

2. Keyword Research and Optimization

Keywords are the backbone of Amazon SEO. Start with in-depth Amazon keyword research to identify high-value, relevant keywords for your products. Utilise tools like Merchant Words, Helium 10, or Amazon's own keyword tool. When crafting product descriptions, weave the keyword into the narrative seamlessly. Describe what makes your product stand out and why it's a one-of-a-kind find for customers.

3. Compelling Product Titles and Descriptions

Your product title is the first thing customers see. It should be both descriptive and compelling. Balancing clarity and creativity is essential. Ensure that the most important keywords are present in the title while making it engaging. For product Product ranking on Amazon descriptions, provide detailed information about the product's features, benefits, and usage.

Use high-resolution images, showcase the product from different angles, and include lifestyle images when possible. Don't forget to include relevant keywords in the image file names and alt text.

5. Enhanced Brand Content and A+ Content

Enhanced Brand Content (EBC) and A+ Content offer a unique opportunity to tell your brand's story and highlight product features. Create engaging content modules with high-quality images, infographics, and multimedia elements. This not only enhances your product listings but also positively influences SEO.

6. Maintaining Competitive Pricing

Pricing is a critical factor for both conversions and SEO. Competitive pricing can improve your chances of winning the Buy Box and attract more customers. By offering a unique pricing structure, you can set yourself apart from competitors.

7. Managing Customer Reviews and Ratings

Positive customer reviews and high ratings are not only crucial for credibility but also for SEO. Fostering a unique culture of customer engagement is key to a thriving Amazon presence. Actively encourage contented customers to share their experiences through reviews, and swiftly attend to any distinctive negative feedback.

8. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) Benefits

Utilizing Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) can enhance your SEO efforts. FBA products often qualify for Prime eligibility, which can lead to higher visibility and more conversions. Consider using FBA for your best-selling items.

9. Monitoring and Analyzing Performance

Regularly monitor your Amazon SEO performance by tracking key metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and sales. This data-driven approach allows you to make informed decisions that set your e-commerce business apart.

10. Building External Traffic Sources

Driving external traffic to your Amazon listing optimization can also Boost your rankings. Use social media marketing, email marketing, and influencer partnerships to direct traffic to your Amazon store. The more external traffic you generate, the more Amazon will favor your products.
