Redefining Gratification

Redefining Gratification | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Personalized experiences, relevant content and instant gratification are what we all hope for when we visit our favorite search engine and type in a query. Marketers are people, too, so they also expect these results.

 

Relying on clicks and lead volume doesn't get to the depth of insight you need to keep refining and improving the ways in which your content marketing programs drive pipeline momentum. Get creative and consider how you can use each of these definitions to evaluate the impact of "landscaping" for your company.

 

Everything we do as a company should be designed to impact business objectives.

Why Curation Time Has Come [Presentation]

A good presentation deck by Qianxing Lu and Brian Moritz for their Social Media Theory and Practice assignment. 

In 30 slides there is a well laid-out synthesis of why a growing set of new curation start-ups have decided to focus on developing their own curation-filtering tool.


Simple, clear and well presented concepts.

Good synthesis. 8/10

Crafting the Perfect Content Curation Strategy

Crafting the Perfect Content Curation Strategy | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Good overview of the required steps to build a properly thought-out content curation strategy for a company.

From the article:

 

Step 1: Survey the Competitive Landscape

In content marketing and content curation, your competitors are not the companies who sell similar products or services. Rather, your competitors are organizations who publish content on the same topic as you.

1. Determine if you can curate content better than they can by being more comprehensive, more relevant, or more consistent...

2. See if there is a different perspective or opposing point of view that you bring to the table...

3. Try to broaden or narrow your topic. If your initial topic was offshore wind farms, you can try narrowing your topic to Atlantic Ocean Wind Farms or broaden it to Wind Power.

 

Step 2: Survey the Content Landscape

Content curation, the process of finding, organizing and sharing relevant information on a specific topic, relies on third party content. In order to become a successful curator on your topic, you need to determine if there is enough content to curate.

 

Step 3: Survey your audience interest
Even if you have a great topic that passes the competitor survey and the content survey, you must ensure that it is a topic that will draw an audience, and not just any audience, but the target audience for your business.

 

Putting it all together: Finding the Sweet Spot
At this point your challenge is to find a topic that passes these three tests.

It’s easy though to get stuck on a topic that passes two of the tests but not all three...

Robin ... I know you lived in the US for awhile, but a slang saying in America "like a kid in a candy store" - meaning that kids LOVE candy and when they see it they get excited and you can't get them away. So, yes a compliment. Perhaps better analogy is - you stream is like sipping a fine Brunello di Monticello

On-Page Technical Optimization Techniques To Beat The Panda Slap

On-Page Technical Optimization Techniques To Beat The Panda Slap | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

"With the recent Google Panda update in October 2011, we witnessed a huge uproar among webmasters and website owners as a lot of sites with high PageRanks fell like a heap of brick, while some others which had authentic organic links and well optimized pages climbed a few places more, unexpectedly.


...As the webmasters didn’t know of a recourse to sort things out and stabilize the fall, they were meddling in the dark on a course unknown till Google issued its new set of indices to rate and review websites, which made it pretty clear that unless websites were structured and built according to the new guidelines, there was no scope for improvement.


The upshot of the Google Panda algorithmic update was aimed at removing poor quality sites from the top of Google’s search results, while increasing the PageRank of sites that were structured optimally and had real organic value with better back links and original content.


Google’s new strategy is totally user-oriented, aimed at increasing user loyalty and user experience by improving the quality of search engine results at the same time bringing down BlackHat reliant SEO sites that had till then being exploiting Google’s vulnerabilities.


The Panda update is focused on deterring websites that rank high on search engine results through link farming and other BlackHat approaches rather than serving end users through long term organic SEO strategies."


Here is some good structured advice on what you can look into to improve your chances of getting out of a Google Panda slap: http://news.submitinme.com/newsdetails-84.aspx
