Psychology behind link giving

Psychology behind link giving | Content on content | Scoop.it
From www.copypress.com - November 11, 2012 4:32 PM
The concept for this book actually began late in 2009 when I began looking at the psychology behind why someone would want to naturally give someone else on the Internet a citation, or link, to their website.

"This Theory has Ten Postulates:

1 The concept of emotion is applicable to all evolutionary levels and applies to all animals including humans.
2 Emotions have an evolutionary history and have evolved various forms of expression in different species.
3Emotions served an adaptive role in helping organisms deal with key survival issues posed by the environment.
4 Despite different forms of expression of emotions in different species, there are certain common elements, or prototype patterns, that can be identified.
5 There is a small number of basic, primary, or prototype emotions.
6 All other emotions are mixed or derivative states; that is, they occur as combinations, mixtures, or compounds of the primary emotions.
7 Primary emotions are hypothetical constructs or idealized states whose properties and characteristics can only be inferred from various kinds of evidence.
8 Primary emotions can be conceptualized in terms of pairs of polar opposites.
9 All emotions vary in their degree of similarity to one another.
10 Each emotion can exist in varying degrees of intensity or levels of arousal."

What an inspiring concept...

...and why stopping to do this will improve your performance significantly
Salim Bennouri's curator insight, March 11, 2016 7:14 AM

 

As a business owner you will always have a lot on your plate, and if you are like most business owners, you will pride yourself on your ability to multitask in order to get everything done. Research has long shown that multitasking is actually a very inefficient way in which to operate, yet business owners tend to take little notice of such research findings. Perhaps, if you were conscious of what multitasking is doing to your brain, you might review your modus operandi, and focus on monotasking instead. This article should be a wake up call for every business owner who sees multitasking as a virtue.
Alexandru Otelea's curator insight, March 19, 2016 3:43 AM

This article breaks the myths. Many people believe the multitasking it a skill of which they are proud. It's not! Let's listen the studies.

14 Unique Types of Content Every Marketer Should Try

14 Unique Types of Content Every Marketer Should Try | Content on content | Scoop.it
From blog.hubspot.com - June 21, 2012 1:24 PM

I selected this piece (by Allyson Galle for Hubspot) because there are some great tips for using under-used content to shake up your routine and keep things interesting and different.


Here are a few that caught my attention:


Concept/Content Visualizations


**These are not to be confused with infographics - you should use this when you have an abstract or difficult-to-understand concepts that are hard to describe through text.


**Content visualizations can serve as great trump cards in the back pockets of content creators when it comes to getting prospects and leads to understand difficult concepts that your products and services help to solve.


**In this article, there is a graphic that shows how this is done by illustrating the concept of closed-loop marketing. It's easy to understand and pleasant to look at.


Livestreaming Video


**This serves a dual purpose, content and traffic


**This is excellent for real-time engagement, traffic will be flooding into your site, Create a hashtag to accopany your livestreamed content, you can start a discussion before the event


**You can insert calls-to-action or product/service information if you'd like, but don't turn this into an infomercial


Jan Gordon - This is one of my favorites


Memes


**Get to know what popular memes currently circulating the internet (they do have proper form) see if you can adapt them for your marketing purposes.


**Memes are catch, fun and memorable and they can help you establish your brand's personality


The example of "What People Think I Do/What I really Do" Meme Hugspot used on their FB page generated 460 likes, 53 comments, 337 shares!

The power of SEO shown through the power of an infographic - great content peice.
Anthony Hall's curator insight, February 19, 2013 7:34 PM

With all of the buzz going on about Social Media, I am finding that people are shying away from SEO and Search Engine Marketing.  However, the truth is that it is still very viable and should not be discarded from your marketing bag of tricks.

As a matter of fact, SEO and Social Media blend very nicely together as one feeds into the other.  

Now, you don't have to be a super SEO guru to get the benefits from it.  Learning how to identify high traffic keywords in your niche that you can optimize your content with is easier than you might think.  

Then, by following some simple guidelines for how to structure and optimize your content, you will find that the bulk of the work is practically en-grained in the process of creating the content in the first place; once you get the hang of it.

 

Then, simply by sharing your content across your social networks, you can build a web of related information which will, by the nature of the internet, boost your website rankings which will cause a website to gain even more traffic.

 

There are plenty of places online you can learn the simple side of SEO for free.  Be sure you make some time to either learn it yourself or invest some money in having someone handle it for you.

Survey: As content marketing increases, so do the challenges

 

SUMMARY: According to a Curata report, 87% of B2B marketers use content marketing -- up from 82% in 2011 -- and it leads all other tactics. But only 43% of respondents felt their content curation efforts had been successful by their own standards of measure. Creating original content and finding time to do it were by far the most prominent challenges cited by marketers.
