University ‘Pay-for-grades’: the bait and switch search engine optimization strategies of contract cheating websites in the United States

This paper presents the first systematic investigation into the search engine optimization practices of major contract cheating websites in the United States. From a business perspective, visibility in organic search engine results is considered one of the top client recruitment tools. The current understanding of student recruitment strategies by these companies remains largely unexplored in both academic literature and popular press. Replicating the business research practices used in the search engine optimization industry, comprehensive search engine ranking and traffic data was obtained for the 38 largest contract cheating websites in the US. The overall objective was to illuminate the strategies that these companies take to get their services at the top of the search results of as many students as possible – not just the relatively small proportion of students actively cheating. The results show that these companies dominate the search results for not just students searching to cheat, but also for naïve search efforts, when students are simply doing genuine research or classwork. These nefarious companies use highly sophisticated search engine manipulation strategies to bait naïve student searchers onto their sites, thus enabling the potential to switch them to cheaters. Higher education institutions, armed with the specific details provided in this study, can use the strategies outlined in the discussion to directly and negatively impact on the success of these contract cheating services.

Students will be able to visualize the entrepreneurial challenges in an emerging market. Case overview/synopsis This case study highlights the dilemma the protagonist, Prerna Prasad, faced in her travel start-up venture, Ecoplore. Ecoplore is an aggregator platform that onboards only eco-hotels. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, Ecoplore is India’s only platform that promotes and onboards only those hotels made up of mud, wood, bamboo, stone or any local architecture and that maintain at least 30% green space on their premises. Ecoplore has been recognized by the United Nations Environment Program for fulfilling Sustainable Development Goal 12 and has also been bestowed with the Gold Award by Indian Responsible Tourism Awards 2019. Prasad had already identified her target market. Prasad took conscious steps towards reaching her target audience, and her first step towards that was designing Ecoplore’s website. Being aware of the importance of content marketing, Ecoplore’s content was curated with fresh and quality write-ups, pictures, blog posts, etc. Ecoplore’s website was also optimized for mobile and desktop versions to deliver a great user experience. Features like easy navigation and the website's speed were also taken care of. Being active on social media platforms, Prasad made sure that the pages of Ecoplore across various social media platforms were well connected with her website. Despite doing so much, it was found that the number of visitors was few after a span of two years. Conversion on the website was low, which ultimately affected the return on investment. Prasad was befuddled as to why the conversions were low despite having a great website that was considered a window to the organization. She faced the challenge of reaching her target audience despite being present online. Upon detailed analysis, Prasad found that Ecoplore was showing up in the search engine research pages (SERP) in only a few keywords, meaning the keyword density was low. Also, the website lacked backlinks, which would eventually help them to rank high on search engine optimization (SEO). This means that Ecoplore will need to revisit its SEO strategy if Prasad wants to promote her organization organically. Now, to increase visibility and ranking on SERP, Prasad had two options before her; first, she could do it organically via SEO or through search engine marketing. She was keen to build the traffic organically, knowing its long-term benefits. As a marketer, what should be Prasad’s strategy? This case study can be used for class discussion purposes for the students pursuing the courses on digital marketing, SEO and digital marketing optimization. Complexity academic level This case study is suitable for students learning the fundamentals of digital marketing (basic and advanced) course, marketing management students and digital marketing workshops. The level of difficulty is medium. The knowledge pre-requirement is marketing management. Supplementary materials Teaching notes are available for educators only. Subject code CSS 8: Marketing.

Deciphering the Visibility of Higher Education Institutions: A Statistical Analysis of Google Search Console Data

The research presented here delves into the connection between data from Google Search Console (GSC) and the Webometrics visibility score of a specific public university's web presence. The study scrutinized GSC parameters such as clicks, impressions, click-through-rate (CTR), and average position to assess their impact on the university's digital visibility. The results indicate that impressions and average position play a critical role in determining the Webometrics visibility score, underscoring the significance of search engine optimization for learning establishments. The research also pinpointed the most effective search queries that drive substantial visitor traffic to the university's website, underlining the need for precise content targeting to optimize search performance. In this study, a predictive model was developed using multiple linear regression analysis to accurately predict the Webometrics visibility score based on GSC metrics, suggesting that strategic efforts to enhance these parameters could boost a university's online prominence. Additionally, a theoretical model was proposed to clarify the dynamic relationship between impressions, positions, and clicks in shaping the overall web visibility. Although this study provides valuable insights, it is based on data from a single university, which calls for further investigation using more varied datasets. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the immense potential of leveraging GSC data to bolster a university's online footprint, suggesting that strategic enhancements of vital parameters can greatly improve a university's online visibility according to Webometrics.

Effects of Using Arabic Web Pages in Building Rank Estimation Algorithm for Google Search Engine Results Page

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) aims to improve a website's reputation and user experience. Without effective SEO strategies, it requires significant investment in paid advertisements. Search Engines (SEs) use algorithms to rank results, assessing on-page and off-page factors for relevance. Machine learning techniques have been used to build classifiers for estimating page rank. However, no research has compared rank estimation with other languages or analyzed the effects of different languages on performance or differences between SEO factors. The study aims to improve rank estimation algorithms for Arabic web pages on desktop devices using a new multi-category dataset from Google Search Engine Results Page (SERP). The experimental findings suggest that Arabic web pages are more suitable than English ones for training a model to estimate the ranking of Arabic web pages. Machine learning models were applied to two datasets. SE scraping was used to collect URLs, descriptions, and other data from the Google SE. Data preprocessing steps were taken before using the datasets for rank estimation algorithms. Experiments were conducted to assess the implications of using Arabic and English web page datasets
