I selected this article from Curatti written by Mandeep Singh because it shows you how to improve your website rank with organic SEO techniques.

 

There are three phases to search engine optimization that can help improve your website visibility.

 

3 Pillars to SEO Success

 

You can improve your ranking in search with the right methods in place. I agree that authority and trust are built upon original content with organic methods.

 

Singh provides 3 ways you can use to improve your SEO strategy.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • The three main methods of search include web crawling, indexing, and results from keyword matching. The most relevant information will be picked up first.

 

  • Google updates its algorithm about 500 to 600 times a year. It occasionally performs a major update that can dramatically affect search results.

 

  • Write content that is easy and useful for your readers in order to avoid being penalized. This will also improve your results in search.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Ian Naylor because it explains how to develop a strong social media strategy that works for your business.

 

It's important to build solid objectives in order to be successful in social media marketing.

 

Common Social Media Mistakes

 

While you can create a social media account and begin tweeting or posting this will not guarantee solid growth. I agree that it takes focus and dedication to get real results.

 

Naylor explains what to avoid and how to properly grow your social brand.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Avoid spreading yourself too thin on too many networks. Focus on one and then move up from there. It takes time and dedication to develop your community.

 

  • Include the human touch in your accounts rather than just relying on automation or standard content. When people see the same messages they become bored quickly and move on.

 

  • It's important to include video as a part of your marketing strategy. People are especially drawn to this medium -- especially live stream broadcasts.

Do you invite comments on your Facebook page? When your followers leave comments on your Facebook page, do you reply? Do you participate in discussions with your fans on your Twitter account? If not, then you are missing out on a tremendous opportunity to build goodwill.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Jenn Herman because it provides a close look at the types of social media followers your business needs to have.

 

It's important to have a community that is invested in your brand.

 

The Importance of Quality Social Media Followers

 

While you can grow a large audience quickly this may not necessarily be a benefit to your influence online. I agree that is it better to focus on the quality of the follower and not the big numbers.

 

Herman explains how to attract authentic followers who are interested in what your business has to offer.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • The number of followers still matters if you want your content to be shared. They key is to have a targeted audience who will spread the word.

 

  • Instead of focusing on higher numbers produce quality content instead. Along with this provide great social customer service.

 

  • Set realistic goals on your social platform growth. For example, a ten percent increase each month. This is subject to fluctuations and changes as you monitor your accounts.

Talent usually separates itself from the crowd.  Social Media is no different.  When you have become informative and dependable, people will begin to rely on your judgement.

Darius Douglass, you are so right - all you have to do is look at someone's digital footprint, it's all there for you to see beyond the facade - if someone is truly demonstrating not talking about social media, that's all you have to know

Jan, I agree with you I do try to comment on my social media sights with my followers when I have the time. That is the key, reading the content and finding the time to communicate. It is a hard balance.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Jenn Herman because it provides insights into how to better grow your Instagram community with the right followers.

 

It's important to attract the right followers for your target market to authentically grow your reach on Instagram.

 

How to Have a Quality Following on Instagram

 

It's tempting to look more at the number of followers rather than how they are actually benefitting your brand. I agree that you can improve your mobile strategy by attracting the right people.

 

Herman explains how to best grow your profile with the right connections.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Use specific hashtags for events and conferences in your niche. Go through these posts and 'like' them throughout the day.

 

  • Check out the competition and influencers to see who they are following. If the accounts relate to your business then follow these and engage on their posts.

 

  • Ask your community to tag their friends in your posts. Don't do this all of the time, but rather mix it into your mobile marketing strategy.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Tony Zambito because it explains how to digital transformation has changed the way businesses understand their customers.

 

The new digital-centric world and customer reach.

 

New Customer Approaches Emerge in the Digital Age

 

If your business has been online for any amount of time you already know how emerging trends have changed the customer journey. I agree that in order to reach them you need to approach them on their level.

 

Zambito explains different methods of reaching your audience in the midst of a digital age.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Just sixteen years ago the business landscape was very different. Today digital technology has shifted buyer persona development and insight gathering.

 

  • In order to reach customers today there needs to be new thinking and new approaches in place. This needs to go beyond analytics tools and outdated sales practices.

 

  • The what, how and why of your audience must now be measured through observation. Words are far less effective in measurement -- it's action that counts.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Shelly Kramer because it explains how marketers can better understand how mobile is affecting consumer behavior.

 

In order to meet the expectations of your target market you need to know what is driving their buying decisions.

 

The Shifting Attitudes of Customers in a Digital World

 

Mobile usage has a strong influence on what people are searching for in order to make a final buying decision. I agree that businesses need to take full advantage of what this new marketing method has to offer.

 

Kramer shows us how to shift our focus to fully leverage a successful mobile strategy.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Marketers need to go beyond adapting to mobile devices. Many see it as a "scaled down" version of what they are already offering.

 

  • There is a disconnect with many consumers and marketers. Statistics show that branded apps are not popular.

 

  • Location plays an important role in the mobile mindset. Businesses should provide immediate context when their audience has a need to fulfill.

Cuando el curador de contenido expresa su opinión sobre el contenido y su razonamiento para compartirlo, además de informar, desarrolla confianza y credibilidad.  El punto de vista también es una oportunidad de establecer contacto con el lector, de contar su propia historia, demostrar autenticidad y trasparencia. Algunas veces, si el contenido es muy técnico, el lector necesita información adicional o quizás algunos ejemplos adicionales para comprenderlo.

 

En este artículo, +Karen Dietz recomienda incluir un about post antes del contenido, para explicar la historia sobre el material que se comparte.  Además, provee instrucciones sobre cómo hacerlo y buenos ejemplos que podemos imitar.  Yo también lo estoy practicando.

Do You Know Why Old Content is the King of Content Marketing?

Do You Know Why Old Content is the King of Content Marketing? | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
You don't need more content. You need old content. I know, that's not what you usually hear, so stick with me and we will look at some numbers to see why it is so important.

Via janlgordon
Albert Green's comment, September 11, 2013 9:43 AM
Although the idea is very interesting, I don't see any valid arguments that OLD content is the key to high rankings. You even can't say there's a correlation here because 14/30 pages are less then 1 year old and 16/30 are more than 1 year old.
The method for determining OLD website is also faulty since the age of domain is not the same as the age of the content itself. So if the page has been updated within this year, it should be labeled as new. To my mind, 90% of the TOP10 search results pages have been updated during last year, so this would mean that NEW content is the key to high rankings.
And since this is just a hypothesis, I must present an actual trend that has been spotted by SEO specialists recently. After latest Google Search engine updates, fresh content easily wins over old content with a lot of backlinks. If OLD content was the king, there would be NO fresh content (up to 1 month old) on first page at all.
Karen Tracey McCarty's curator insight, January 30, 2014 12:07 PM

Some things we know are better with age, like wine and wisdom, but content? Seriously? Read on to see stats showing why your old content can be a power horse for generating increased site traffic and search results.
