Following a rant against some forms of noisy automated publishing that he calls content curation (and that I wouldn't even call that), Barry Feldman provides a great guide to value-adding content curation.

The truth is that content curation has been associated by some to automation. And yes there are tools that will automatically build some content feeds for you. From early on, I've always thought that curation was fundamentally human and that while technology could empower people, replacing them is going a step too far in many domains as this post brilliantly explains. When it comes to content publishing, algorithms are useful to discover content, but deciding on what to publish, how to publish and how to editorialize it are not things a robot could do well. 

Which is why on Scoop.it, we automate content discovery and facilitate distribution but let our users in full control of the publishing stage.

So don't be a robot and to make the most of your content curation, read the great tips Barry that he develops in this article: focus on a topic, add value (“Be meaningful. Add your insight or opinion when sharing the content."), target, condense, etc... And of course here's also our own top 10 best practices on SlideShare to understand how to concretely do that on Scoop.it in a very visual way.

Parece-me aquela velha história de humanos versus máquinas.  Ou, em outras palavras, a diferença entre informações e conhecimento.

Agregação de conteúdo pura e simples pode ser feita tanto por humanos quanto por máquinas. Mas edição de conteúdo é gerenciamento autoral de conhecimentos, e esta tarefa talvez seja melhor realizada por humanos. Isto porque editar conteúdos e contextualizá-los, direcionando-os para um público-alvo específico, requer habilidades que dependem essencialmente do background sociocultural do seu curador.

Here are seven facts that you may not know about the disavow tool.

good to know: disavowed links werken soms niet door 301 redirections.. disavowed links verschijnen nog steeds in je backlinks lijst in google webmaster tools (er zit een onzichtbare nofollow op),  een disavow heeft geen nadelige gevolgen voor de site van herkomst...

I love the real time nature of twitter

Twitter is great for short-term promotion.

Twitter is an essential for Marketers

My personal belief is this: in the near future, if you want to stand out in your niche, get a serious following of passionate fans and build a strong credibility for yourself, you will need to do something better than just writing blog posts (however good they may be).

"Recently Martin Laetsch, Act-On’s Director of Online Marketing, presented a webinar covering the 10 most important rules for successful search engine optimization.Not all of them are 100% new, but they’re all critical keys to success. ...You can catch up with the whole on-demand session here."

In this article the focus is specifically on rule n.1: Create content with your audience in mind.

Rekha Mohan writes: "The main point to all this is: create content people want to share. People like sharing interesting information; it builds credibility, creating the image that the sharer is in the know, and consistently sharing good information increases your audience.

Good information also helps visitors and increases your authority on a subject – use white papers, case studies, fun facts, educational material, research results, thought-provoking blog posts, how-to articles, top 10 lists, and more to share your information in innovative and easy-to-read ways."

Very good reminders for anyone having doubts about what's best to do in the near future, to gain extra visibility and reputation, on any content web site.

Rightful. 7/10

Escribir pensando en el SEO. Esto es lo que propone este artículo que a más de uno nos da respuestas a la pregunta ¿Por qué ya no tengo tantas visitas en el blog?

Básicamente:

- Elegir una frase CLAVE en el post, que incluyamos al menos 3 o 4 veces a lo largo del mismo.

- Escribirlas con las mismas palabras, en el mismo orden.

- Escribir en una extensión de 300 palabras aprox.

- Colocar las palabras -etiquetas en:

   - El título del post

   - La dirección URL 

   - Los títulos y subtítulos de los párrafos

   - Los links

   - Por supuesto, el cuerpo general del texto, de arriba a abajo.

Ni que decir tiene, que hay poner cuidado en el contenido de calidad, que al final, si no es bueno, nadie lo lee, ni pulsa los links que contiene, y lo más importante: no lo comparten, porque no llegan al final del mismo, donde, seguramente, tengas los iconos para compartir. Menciona a gente guay, con links a su Fb, Twitter... Seguro que a ellos también les gusta salir en tu post, y te ayudarán con la difusión.

A este respecto: no te olvides de las Redes Sociales, que son fundamentales para conseguir mayor viralidad. 

Siempre está bien recordar estos tips de cuando en vez ;)
