The SEO Path to Becoming a Great Funnel Owner | SEOmoz | Marketing_me | Scoop.it

Excerpted from article:

"If SEO consultants want to own more of the funnel, their title will need to change to support a more expansive role that includes multiple channels, rather than changing what the term "SEO" itself means.

The author of article is going to focus on two key areas of SEO:

1) Beyond keywords;
2) Content that works;

 

1. Beyond keywords

What good SEOs already do:

- Model search behavior across the funnel

Good SEO’s are already skilled in the art of modeling user search behavior across a search buying cycle. They look to identify what language prospects are using relevant to their business.

 

Good SEO’s will:

1. Use PPC data...

2. Measure head vs long tail...

3. Track top of funnel keywords...

4. Create keyword funnels...

Good SEO’s will:

The 3 Best Social Media Tactics to Get More Customers | Social Media Today

The 3 Best Social Media Tactics to Get More Customers | Social Media Today | Marketing_me | Scoop.it
Social media can be used effectively to drive sales.Because it helps you distribute marketing messages further, faster, and cheaper than ever before. But most companies struggle, or don't see any return at all.


The reason has nothing to do with how many hashtags you use, or how often you update Facebook.

And everything to do with execution on one -- or all -- of these three tactics.


Tactic #1: Partnerships
One of the best ways to see quick growth is to "piggyback" off other sources.


Tactic #2: Advertising
Contrary to what "social media experts" think, advertising is still a great way to get more traffic, leads and customers.


Tactic #3: Content Marketing
Online, content can give you multiple returns. It can increase your brand awareness, help you get links for SEO, and position your content to "go viral" in social media.

Micropayments: Google Wallet Allows Site Owners To Charge for Web Content

Micropayments: Google Wallet Allows Site Owners To Charge for Web Content | Marketing_me | Scoop.it


Robin Good: Interesting news from Google on this front, as early in October it has officially announced a new function of Googe Wallet which allows web publishers to charge small amounts of money to access in-depth articles or other high-value online content types.


Digitaltrends reports: "Detailed on an official launch page for the product, Google quietly rolled out a new micropayments function for Google Wallet that allows site owners to charge small amounts of money for Web content.


For instance, a site like Oxford Reference can charge between 25 to 99 cents for access to a single page of content. Within this live example, Oxford Reference offers the opening portion of the page for free. However, the code for Google Wallet is overlaying the remaining text with gray bars and blurring out the pictures until the reader pays 99 cents to view the remainder of the page.


In addition, the reader has the option of an immediate refund of the access fee if they feel the content wasn’t a worthwhile purchase.


However, the reader has to apply for the refund within 30 minutes of the initial purchase and Google has setup a system to help curtail excessive refunds awarded to a specific user over time."
