Marketing's Evolution

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. The one most responsive to change wins in the end. Darwin's ideas are on dramatic display these days as marketing evolves faster and faster, better and better.

8 SEO Google Ranking Signals in 2017

8 SEO Google Ranking Signals in 2017 | Marketing Revolution | Scoop.it
From marketingland.com - July 11, 2017 9:02 AM

SEO Usual Suspects

This Marketingland.com post shares 8 SEO "ranking signals" that won't be a surprise to anyone who knows search engine optimization. There is an interesting 2017 take on these "usual suspects" SEO ranking signals. 

Posts like this always make ranking sound abstract and apart from the content you create. Not so much actually. Content is impossible to manipulate, Jack, or force round pegs into square holes. Better to do what you do well, share that passion and look for others who care about what you're doing. 

Remember not all visitors are created equal. About 1% of your visitors want to help IF YOU ASK THEM. Another 9% are willing to join and support with links and shares IF YOU ASK THEM. So you can bet what our next advice is going to be - ASK FOR HELP. 

Look at how HBX asks for ambassadors right on their home page. 

We would add a user-generated content ask and award the same points currency they are mining now, but you can see the beginnings of a good ambassador program - something every website needs these days. 

 

Read this SEO post to brush up on your "ranking factors" and never forget you aren't creating content for SEO. You create content to share passion, love and create movements others want to join. SEO is just something you do because to not do it is stupid. 

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Great Marketing Revolution Content - @Oracle Blogs 

Great Marketing Revolution Content - @Oracle Blogs  | Marketing Revolution | Scoop.it
From blogs.oracle.com - July 7, 2017 1:42 PM

Oracle Blogs Rock Great Content
Oracle gets the tie between great content and selling ideas such as "social listening analytics." Oracle's blogs are full of great, relevant and spot on "new marketing" content. But there's a problem. 

The messy URLs Oracle's blogs generate make sharing difficult. Just goes to show no matter how big and smart you are it helps to walk among the little people a little. Testing the ease of sharing your content across social media platforms is a great lesson to learn from Oracle's messy URLs. There are many great lessons to learn from Oracles content too. 

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Great content behind messy URLs makes Oracle's blogs one of our favorite reads and least favorite shares.

Thinking Differed about Marketing

Digital marketing is different. Networks create power dynamics that wrap marketing's space/time. This Curagami post connects books by Barabasi explaining how networks really work to Flash Boys by Michael Lewis since the stock market is one big ultra-fast network now. 

The post discusses:

  • Internet Time Is Always NOW
  • Networks Are Different
  • Movement Marketing = Biggest Digital Marketing Trend NO ONE Understands
  • Influencers & Force Multipliers – Do You Know Yours
  • WHY not HOW

Join the conversation, share your wild west digital experiences and how you think marketing is being wrapped, changed, and manipulated: http://www.curagami.com/digital-marketing-gravity/

Don't Plan, Live in the Now

MIT Media Lab's chair and author Joi Ito's NOWISM TED Talk where he shares the "new thinking" that led to the most successful citizen's science project ever is more than inspirational. Ito's grasp on how the e-commerce, social, and always-on Internet world is shifting informs and admonishes. 

Plans don't work when the time it takes to create them also negates their conclusions and directives. Ito has the solution and that is why we summarized his important ideas in a 3 minute version of his 20 minute TED Talk on Curagami: http://www.curagami.com/five-planning-disruption-tips/

Making your marketing organization agile: A step-by-step guide | McKinsey & Company

Making your marketing organization agile: A step-by-step guide | McKinsey & Company | Marketing Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.mckinsey.com - November 16, 2016 12:36 AM
Agile, in the marketing context, means using data and analytics to continuously source promising opportunities or solutions to problems in real time, deploying tests quickly, evaluating the results, and rapidly iterating. At scale, a high-functioning agile marketing organization can run hundreds of campaigns simultaneously and multiple new ideas every week. 

The truth is, many marketing organizations think they’re working in an agile way because they’ve adopted some agility principles, such as test and learn or reliance on cross-functional teams. But when you look below the surface, you quickly find they’re only partly agile, and they therefore only reap partial benefits. For example, marketing often doesn’t have the support of the legal department, IT, or finance, so approvals, back-end dependencies, or spend allocations are slow. Or their agency and technology partners aren’t aligned on the need for speed and can’t move quickly enough. Simply put: if you’re not agile all the way, then you’re not agile.

How Compete with Amazon? via @Curagami Forum

How Compete with Amazon? via @Curagami Forum | Marketing Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.curagami.com - July 12, 2016 8:54 AM

Competing With Amazon
Competing with one of the Internet's 4 horsemen is hard but not impossible. Amazon is a monster, but a monster with vulnerabilities as all monsters have. Amazon is too big to listen and care. They compete on price. 

Price doesn't create love. Price is about convenience, ease of use and becoming the Walmart of the web. No one loves Walmart much and few LOVE Amazon and therein lies the rub for Small to Medium Sized Businesses as this Curagami post shares. 

Did you know Amazon has several prices for the same thing almost all the time? This post teaches you how to really know what Amazon is charging for something so your prices won't be so far out of line as to appear absurd and so rejected on first inspection.

It’s Time To Stop Using AI As A Marketing Gimmick

It’s Time To Stop Using AI As A Marketing Gimmick | Marketing Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.fastcodesign.com - July 18, 2017 9:00 AM

AI As Marketing Gimmick

We agree AI is being used as a gimmick right now. We understand why too. Marketers and marketing love shiny new things. We tend to hop aboard before fully understanding the math. 

 

We have left brain creatives for the most part and so such early hopping is understandable and, to some extent, what we are paid to accomplish. Artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize marketing and make even the most creative among us learn some new math. 

We agree with the premise and recommendations here but are more kind in our evaluation of the "why" behind why fellow travelers are gimmickizing AI. 

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Agree but aren't as harsh since we understand why most marketers are treating AI as a gimmick - who wants to do the math?

Embrace The Suck
Vine's departure shows how precarious is the life of a startup. Even scale, lots of community and cool content isn't enough to bridge the first problem - websites costs money so how are you going to make some? 

Best not to extrapolate too far as many will. Don't throw social media under the bus because of Vine's woes. Under the bus is a place others will be soon (Twitter?). On our end, the web marketing side of the equation, we must smile, nod and embrace the suck: http://www.curagami.com/social-media-death-vine/
