Neil Ferree's insight:

Many factors contribute to a website reaching and maintaining high positions in search results for target terms.

Why Engaging Online Content Is a Must for SEO

Why Engaging Online Content Is a Must for SEO | Google Plus and Social SEO | Scoop.it
How your startup can benefit from high-quality website content, and why you might need to hire someone to oversee it for you.
Neil Ferree's insight:

Key factors Google considers to be indicators of high quality:


  • Longer content
  • Images and video
  • Proper text formatting
  • Correct spelling and grammar
  • Outbound links to other high-quality sites
  • Inbound links and social shares from other high-quality sources


A proper content strategy requires a significant amount of time and talent. But as a time-crunched business owner, you might not have enough bandwidth to regularly generate and oversee the content creation for your website. If that's the case consider hiring a director of content who can create and publish white papers, newsletters blog posts or e-books for you.


Make sure your http://bit.ly/RichSnippet renders with the content you create publish and syndicate to your top socials.

Using Social Media to Build Links

Using Social Media to Build Links | Google Plus and Social SEO | Scoop.it

Over the last year or so we have seen many changes to the way companies go about implementing their link building campaigns. With search engines like Google looking to distinguish between high quality websites with authority and spam sites producing numerous backlinks to climb up search rankings, it has meant that many traditional anchor text based links have become less valuable.

 

This has led to more and more companies focusing on social media to facilitate their link building campaigns. In this article we will explain how companies go about link building using social media.

Billions of Geotagged Tweets Visualized in Twitter's Amazing Maps | Google Plus and Social SEO | Scoop.it

Ever wonder what it would look like to plot every single geotagged tweet since 2009 on a map? Twitter has done just that.

 

Twitter posted these maps of Europe, New York City, Tokyo and Istanbul on its blog Friday. They use billions of geotagged tweets: Every dot represents a tweet, with the brighter colors showing a higher concentration of tweets. It's pretty amazing how the mapped-out tweets clearly match with population centers, highways and the like — though perhaps that's obvious.
