<strong>Semalt</strong> <strong>Expert</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Most</strong> <strong>Effective</strong><br />

<strong>Ways</strong> To <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>CTR</strong><br />

<strong>CTR</strong> means Click Through Rate. This metric refers <strong>to</strong> the way people who clicked your link in response <strong>to</strong> the<br />

number of individuals who saw the link. Businesses crave for high <strong>CTR</strong> because it is the initial step of a potential<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mer showing interest. In e-commerce, many tactics have been made by people regarding the way, and the<br />

number of clicks people click by this metric. As a result, many people have depended on different fac<strong>to</strong>rs which<br />

ways <strong>to</strong> control them.<br />

<strong>CTR</strong> affects ranking<br />

Websites which have a high <strong>CTR</strong> rank high in the SERP. Following the Google update of January 2017, content<br />

relevance is one of the most in uential fac<strong>to</strong>rs when it comes <strong>to</strong> ranking websites. One way which the Google<br />

algorithm uses <strong>to</strong> make this con rmation is the click through rate of your site. When a person searches a query, sees<br />

a result, and clicks a link, that is the rst insight of content relevance as well as a potential buyer who has shown<br />

interest.<br />

<strong>CTR</strong> help search engines rank websites as well as<br />

helping people discover unknown markets with a<br />

signi cant potential. This article will be about the<br />

techniques you can use on your e-commerce<br />

website <strong>to</strong> get a higher <strong>CTR</strong> for better conversions<br />

than before.<br />

Keywords placement<br />

Put your keywords in the title of your web content. This technique tricks the algorithm because it tries <strong>to</strong> behave<br />

like a human being. For instance, the keywords should accompany a meta tag with a relevant description. Id est, if<br />

you use a keyword like "dog food", it is important <strong>to</strong> write the title of the content which is relevant <strong>to</strong> the content as<br />

well as the niche you are targeting. In this instance, you can write a content title such as "Dog food which causes<br />

allergy".<br />

A good technique is <strong>to</strong> start with the keyword itself. <strong>The</strong> crawler analyzes your website with the title and meta<br />

description rst. This location is a chance <strong>to</strong> place competitive keywords in their respective areas.<br />

Writing content<br />

When increasing your <strong>CTR</strong>, the content needs <strong>to</strong> be<br />

relevant as well as visible on some of the search<br />

engine result panels. As a result, a person looking<br />

for content present on your site will certainly click<br />

it because it is visible on the viewer's group. SEO<br />

process involves keywords and different techniques<br />

of placing the keywords. To boost your <strong>CTR</strong> with<br />

keywords, use keywords research <strong>to</strong>ols such as<br />

Google AdWords. After that, use these competitive keywords <strong>to</strong> make the title as well as the content body of your<br />

web page. In special cases, use it in the meta description <strong>to</strong>o. <strong>The</strong> attractiveness and the relevance of keywords used<br />

are the fac<strong>to</strong>rs which bring your site up as some of the rst results.<br />

<strong>The</strong> meta description<br />

This section is the part of the website which describes the content of a web page or site. In most cases, web<br />

developers employ the use of a template, but others tailors make the meta description. It is limited <strong>to</strong> 160<br />

characters only. For persons who want <strong>to</strong> boost <strong>CTR</strong>, it is important <strong>to</strong> include keywords in the meta description as<br />

well.<br />
