December Books

Desember sudah memasuki minggu ketiga dan aku masih terperangkap dihalaman seratus empat puluh sembilan buku Norwegian Wood milik Haruki Murakami. Sebenarnya selain Norwegian Wood, aku menargetkan tiga buah buku lainnya untuk diselesaikan dibulan ini. Bagai pungguk merindukan rembulan. Kali ini aku harus realistis tak mungkin target itu tercapai. Desember kini menyisakan tiga belas hari lagi dan segera berlalu menjadi kenangan.

Ketiga buku tersebut yakni Ayat-ayat Cinta jilid II, Tentang Kamu, dan Madilog. Kamu tahu apa yang membuatku kali ini menyerah dengan target yang kubuat sendiri diakhir November lalu? keempat buku itu tebalnya minta ampun. Boleh lah kalau sekarang aku mengubah targetku menjadi dua buku. Norwegian Wood dan Ayat-ayat Cinta jilid II.

.....

Kayaknya lebih baik pakai kata ganti gue aja daripada aku, biar ndak kaku gitu kayak balesan dm gue ke Yuang (Who is Yuang, i will let you know if i have enough story with her) :)

Oh iya, dijudul blog sebelumnya, gue berencana untuk membuat sinopsis pada setiap buku yang telah gue baca. Oke, untuk buku pertama yang gue akan ulas adalah Sang Pemimpi, buku kedua dari tetralogi Laskar Pelangi milik penulis Andrea Hirata. Hari Ahad ini gue baca buku Sang Pemimpi untuk kedua kalinya. Seru, haru, serta pilu adalah kata-kata yang kupakai untuk menggambarkan buku itu.

Ternyata ada perbedaan antara sinopsis dengan resensi. Sinopis adalah ringkasan cerita dari sebuah novel sedangkan resensi berisi identitas dari buku tersebut dan bersifat lebih subjektif karena merupakan penilaian pembaca kepada buku yang dibacanya. So, yang ingin gue tekankan di sini adalah selain belajar membuat sinopsis, gue juga akan mencoba meresensi dari setiap buku yang telah gue baca. Hitung-hitung belajar kritis!

How To Improve Click Through Rate

DKDE || blogpemula2019.blogspot.com || okysetyakelana.blogspot.com
Today I'm going to talk to you about how to improve your click-through rate inside of Google this is a really important topic if you can take your click-through rate from 10 percent to 20 percent then you're going to be getting a lot more traffic on those individual impressions that come in,

What is a click-through rate

A click-through rate is how many times somebody clicks on something as after seeing it a certain amount of time.

if you have 100 impressions and you have a 2% click-through rate, that means out of the 100 people 2% of people clicked on it and that resulted in two visitors to your website.

The most important thing is what happens next you know does that person eventually turn into a conversion so it's important that you have a high click-through rate and then you also have a high conversion rate because that's how you run your online business

when we're looking at improving click-through rates one of the main ways you can do this and the most important thing is to first get a baseline,

if you go inside of Google search console,  Google search console has a report that's going to show you the pages that you have inside of Google and what the click-through rate is for those pages and what the keywords are that those pages are ranking for and how many times those keywords have been clicked on.

the most important thing is to look at the pages, look at the click-through rate for those pages and the keywords associated with those pages determine a baseline and then try to determine which pages have a really good click-through rate and then which pages have a really bad click-through rate.

Those ones that ever really good click-through rate take a look at and try to think why do these pages have such a great click-through rate and for the ones that have a really bad one put those into another bucket because those are going to be the ones that you're gonna want to improve.

once you know the ones that you're going to want to improve a great thing to do is look at your AdWord's ads, try to find out the ads that you have that have actually the best click-through rates on them.

take a look at those and then also take a look at the pages inside a Google search console that have the highest click-through rates.

try to figure out the similarities between the two and then look at the specific content that you have that isn't performing as well and develop a series of titles in descriptions that are going to be able to be showing up in Google.

actually, the title in the description is the things that are pulled from the code of your website that shows up on Google and try to determine how are you going to write better titles 

write better descriptions so that you can put actually improve your click-through rate once you've done that and you've written the better titles and descriptions do a fetch as Googlebot

through Google search console that's gonna allow those to be get picked up that's gonna allow those to show up on Google and so you'll actually know that that content has been indexed and Google is able to actually test - you're actually able to see if the information about showing up in the Google search console click-through rate report is going to be valid for a test

once you have that in there keep in mind that Google search console is always has a little bit of a lag so it's gonna a couple take a couple days even once it gets indexed and starts showing up correctly to see whether or not the click-through rates have improved

you know that you have the right information in the index make sure you put an annotation inside of Google Analytics so that you can save that information and you're gonna want to keep an eye on it and look at your period over period report inside a Google search console.


once it's indexed you look at the click-through rates before and the click-through rates after it's best if you kind of run the report for a couple weeks you want to have at least a thousand or a couple thousand visitors worth of data on that to make sure that your results aren't skewed but if you see improvements on what you changed that's a really good indicator that you can take that and those changes that you made and roll them out to other titles and other descriptions on your website as well


another a couple important things to think about in regards to click-through rates is that many times titles and descriptions are written on websites on a template by template basis.

individual pages might have their own unique titles and descriptions but categories will have a template that's used on every single one of them so if that's the case making some changes to that template can have a dramatic impact on click-through rates for you throughout your entire section of that website

in many cases, this is done because you're using schema.org on the page and Google has determined that you have a high-quality website schema.org is just something that you put in the code of your website that gives Google a little bit more information about the page.

Mari Gemar Membaca (lagi)

Senang banget setelah sekian bulan malas membaca kini gue sudah mulai membiasakan diri untuk baca-baca lagi. Buku apapun itu gue baca. Lebay mode on, Haha.

Bulan November kemarin beberapa buku habis gue sikat. Yuhu! Komik Detective Conan pun gue sikat dengan cepat. Tiga komik Shinichi Kudo nomor 89, 90, dan 91 kalau ndak salah selesai dalam waktu kurang dari tiga hari. 

Khatam dari komik Conan gue lanjut membaca novel Sirkus Pohon milik penulis berbakat Indonesia, Andrea Hirata. (novel pinjaman dari Dora) :D

  

Khatam novel Sirkus Pohon, gue melanjutkan baca novel pinjaman kedua dari Dora, Critical Eleven karya Ika Natassa. Novel ini adalah buku pertama dari Ika yang gue baca dan gue tertarik untuk membaca judul buku Ika lainnya. Oh ya! ternyata Critical Eleven ada filmnya juga loh! Telat tau banget deh gue!

Novel pinjaman ketiga dari Dora adalah Tentang kamu yang ditulis oleh Tere Liye. Buku yang terbit tahun 2016 ini tebalnya lebih dari 500 halaman, karena hal ini lah gue memutuskan untuk melewati buku ini sementara waktu. haha.

Entah kena angin apa tiba-tiba gue tertarik untuk membaca novel Layar Terkembang milik Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana. Buku ini kalau tidak salah pertama kali terbit pada tahun 1936 dan sampai saat ini sudah lebih dari dua puluh kali cetak. Amazing!
                        

 

Sedikit cerita yang gue senangi dari Layar Terkembang ketika Yusuf menyatakan perasaan cintanya kepada Maria saat mereka berjalan-jalan ke air terjun Dago.

“Maria, Maria, tahukah engkau saya cinta kepadamu?”

            “Lama benar engkau menyuruh saya menanti katamu…” 

Buku Layar Terkembang gue beli berbarengan dengan buku Siti Nurbaya milik Marah Rusli dan buku Azab dan Sengsara karya Merari Siregar namun berbeda dengan Layar Terkembang kedua buku tersebut sudah gue baca beberapa hari setelah dibeli di toko buku Lippo Cikarang. Ada kabar bahwa toko buku itu sudah tutup sekarang. It's really sad for me.

Bulan November sudah berakhir dan hari ini sudah memasuki hari kelima Desember. Sebelum buku Tentang Kamu gue baca, gue lebih mendahulukan buku Norwegian Wood karya Haruki Murakami karena hari Jumat pekan ini  novel lebih dari 400 halaman tersebut akan dipinjam temen kantor. Deal! Karena gue juga akan dipinjamkan buku honey and milk miliknya. Nice!

Okay! Gue berharap semangat baca gue gak akan hilang lagi.

Be calm and keep reading!

Maybe in the next time i try to write synopsis or resume the books that i have red. Once again, thank you for visiting my blog. 

See you & love you guys!
