Enkahnz Shared: The Impact Of COVID-19 On Search Trends And SEO

Enkahnz: For the last two months, the whole SEO community has been talking about the latest COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and its impact on organic traffic and performance. It has been seen that there has been a significant dip in the organic performance of websites across different verticals. And at the same time, there are also many verticals where a notable rise in organic traffic is observed. There are various new Search Engines Results Page (SERP) features that one can see emerging on different search engines such as Google.(Enkahnz)

With the rising nervousness and uncertainties in the economy due to the COVID-19, there have been drastic effects on different businesses and industries. Many industry experts stated that significant changes in the organic traffic, as well as revenues, were seen from 12th to 16th March 2020.

One of the interesting developments of the pandemic has been that the result page of Google has started stimulating many new panels related to 'coronavirus'. These panels provide users with information and data related to the disease. The content is generally taken from the website of the World Health Organization (WHO), which is the Centre for Disease Control, and many other local government bodies.(Enkahnz)

Google has also started displaying an 'SOS Alert' panel to indicate a state of emergency across the globe. This is one of the most effective ways to address the COVID-19 emergency online and create a sense of urgency among the users. Another interesting SERP feature is when a user searches for something related to 'coronavirus' the safety tips that need to be followed during this crisis is displayed on Google. These tips showcase a video that instructs the searchers on how to wash hands properly or how to sanitise them along with other tips taken from the WHO website.

Additionally, an 'Affected Area' panel is also displayed, which shows the areas that have been affected by this pandemic on a world map. One can easily see on this map how the pandemic is spreading across the world and its density in different regions of the globe.

Moreover, before other organic results related to the search are displayed, Google also shows a 'symptoms' panel where one can quickly check out the common symptoms of COVID-19. This list of symptoms is also pulled from the WHO website.

How Will Coronavirus Affect The Trends Long-Term?

COVID-19 is being termed as one of the biggest trends in Google's search history. People are not only searching for information related to coronavirus, but national leaders such as Narendra Modi and Donald Trump are also looking at the information related to the stock market.(Enkahnz)

Long-tail keywords have also started gaining much importance. For instance, Pandemic vs epidemic, are there any test centres in my area, best movies/series to watch in quarantine, is there any shop open, and much more like that!

Such types of searches can put the marketers under a lot of pressure as one needs to be careful and thoughtful while finding the correct target keyword and creating a proper and effective strategy.

It is also possible that search queries related to COVID-19 would continue for a long time along with combination searches such as future banking, how will travelling reopens, future of schools post COVID-19, and much more like that!

How Should Businesses and SEOs Respond at this time?

As the number of people working from home has increased more than ever, a daily commute to work is no longer a necessity. Businesses and SEOs also have more time now to formulate and execute their digital marketing strategies. Whether it is creating content for a sanitiser and mask brand or an SEO marketing plan for a global media agency, here is enough time to plan and develop digital marketing strategies.

According to various experts, businesses and websites should stay ahead of the curve and apply different ideas and techniques to keep the website updated as well as optimised.(Enkahnz)

Enkahnz Shared: Why Lower Your Car?

Enkahnz: Have you seen some cars driving around that look lower than stock? They may have had a suspension lowering kit installed.

Why would someone want to lower their car? There are a couple of reasons. The first is that it might make the car handle better, and the second is that some people believe that it makes the car look better.(Enkahnz)

Let's take a closer look at the first reason, better handling. To understand a little be about handling it is important to grasp the concept of "center of gravity". Imagine that you could suspend a car by a cable attached to the top of the roof. You want to place the end that attaches to the roof at some point so that when suspended the car is level. That is, it does not tip to the front or rear, or to the left or right. Now imagine that there is a line from the roof straight through to the bottom of the car.

Now let's image that we turn the car on its side, and suspend it again with a cable attached to some place on one of the doors. Again we move the cable around until the car is level on its side. That is it does not tip towards the front or rear, and does not tip to the roof or floor. Again pretend that there is a line through the car that comes out the opposite door.(Enkahnz)

The last step is to picture where the two lines, from the roof through the floor, and the line through the doors. Where the two lines intersect is the "center of gravity". This is the point where the mass of the car is balanced in all directions.

OK, after that long explanation, let's see why the center of gravity or CG point is important. If you could lower the center of gravity on a car you would find that the car is steadier and you have a smoother ride. The car would also tend to roll less when you went around a curve. In one respect it is less "tippy."(Enkahnz)

Let's imagine one more time. Picture a stack of books. The more books you pile on, the more apt the entire stack is to fall over. This can be compared to a car's roll. The lower the center of gravity is like a shorter stack of books, which has fewer tendencies to tip over.

If you take a look at race cars, they are low to the ground for several reasons, chief among them being lowering the center of gravity, improves the cornering ability.

A suspension lowering kit then lowers your center of gravity, which can improve handling. It also makes the car look lower and resemble a race car instead of a stock car.

However, like other car modifications, too much of what seemed a good think can cause problems. You really don't want to lower a stock car more than an inch or inch and a half. If you do, the body can contact the tires and lead to other problems.(Enkahnz)

Enkahnz Shared: The Two Options To Get Started With Radio Controlled Car Action

Enkahnz: One of the more thrilling and durable hobbies in which one can partake in his radio control car action. For people who enjoy speed, competition, or just have a passion for cars and having fun, RC car action is a great activity to consider. Now to get started in RC car action.

If thrilling just thinking about it.(Enkahnz)

Just like a real automobile, RC cars require a certain amount of ongoing maintenance. For example, you'll need to fill up the car with gas or replace the batteries in the controller. Might even have to replace the tires every so often. Every time you take your car out to race, or just play with. You want to make sure you do preventative maintenance on the car so that it will not deteriorate over time.

When building a remote-controlled car from a do-it-yourself kit. You will find that it could be both fun and educational. As you build your car, you begin to see how the different components fit and work together as a unit. If something should go wrong with the car, you will be more likely to be able to fix the problem, or the Spielberg diagnose it so you can swap out the correct parts. Most do-it-yourself kits contain high-quality parts for the high end market.(Enkahnz)

Many RC enthusiasts like to upgrade and customize their car to fit their specific preferences. There are many modifications, you can make to an RC car. One would be changing out the motor. Another might be adding an extra large gas tank. There are so many modifications that can be made with the tires chassis and you name it that I cannot list them all in this short article.

Enkahnz Shared: How To Accurately Estimate Classic Car Values

Enkahnz: It is easier to spot a classic car than to know how much it is worth. You may know that the Oldsmobile Cutlass hanging out in your garage is a real sweet vintage ride, but you might have a difficult time deciding how much to sell it. Or maybe you have spotted that Cutlass, but do not know whether the price is worth it.

Worry no more, as here is an easy guide on how to estimate classic car values.

1. Research on Market Values from Dealers

Classic car values are almost always fluctuating, as all car values are. By researching the market value of a classic car sold by professional dealers, you can have a clear marker as to how much a vehicle in a certain condition is worth.(Enkahnz)

However, remember that this is a dealer's price, so expect that it is overpriced from 10%-20%. There are many other determinants of price that are oftentimes not covered by dealer-based values, such as your own preference and the demand for that car. Nonetheless, market values from dealers are still a good marker.

2. Check the Condition of the Car

The condition of the car is usually the biggest determinant of its value. Most classic car enthusiasts use a five-point rating system, as follows:

Excellent: A car in perfect and near-mint condition, usually drivable.

Very Good: A car with some very minor scratches or engine and mechanism faults, but is still almost perfect and drivable.

Good: A car with some very repairable damages, but still needs little effort to restore and is still drivable.(Enkahnz)

Fair: A car that needs a lot of restoration work, with signs of abuse such as dents, scratches, and rust. If a car is not drivable because of engine, brake, or other mechanical failures, but has a solid exterior look, it will fall in this category.

Parts car: A car that cannot be plausibly restored because of heavy damage. A parts car, as its name suggests, is usually bought only for its reusable parts.

A car in an excellent condition could be sold for twice or thrice its original price and collectors will still buy it. Cars in the good or fair condition are the usual ones that you will see in the market.

3. Customization is a Minus

A classic car with an A/C unit, a fuel-efficient engine, and soft seats may be convenient, but these modifications often bring down the value of a car. Customized paint jobs may look cool, but they still decrease the possible price. The reason for this is simple: original parts are harder to find, and maintaining them are more difficult too. Expect a car with almost all original parts (including the wheels) and paint color to have a really large price tag attached to it.(Enkahnz)

4. Rarity is a Plus

Classic Dodge Chargers may be valued highly, but Chargers with a Hemi engine is a gold mine. This is because Hemi engine-equipped Chargers were made in very limited numbers. If you have one in your old man's garage, you may want to reconsider that engine change.(Enkahnz)

2. Chevrolet Cobalt SS

This Chevvy has 260 horses running amuck under the hood of this car. It has a tough suspension and an injected turbo engine. It is a nippy number that is easily labelled a FWD sports car. With bucket seats and a no-lift feature this car is the ideal base for a supped-up sports car.(Enkahnz)

4. Subaru WRX

This rally-bred turbo charged sedan races off the lights from 0-60mph in 6 seconds. It has burling 265 ponies and is an already established car for road racers and fast drivers. With 41 more horses than its predecessor, the Subaru is a road tearing beast that rally drivers can't get enough of. It is the ideal car if someone wants a car to modify.(Enkahnz)

5. BMW 3 Series

If a car is being benchmarked, then you know it's a tough competitor to beat.
