It is sad to think that in today's world we care so much about whether people like us or not, it has been proven that internet use can lead to depression. This depression can come when we feel that we are not being heard, but how can we calculate that? In today's world we consider how many likes, retweets and comments we get on social media sites to be how people say they like us and what we have to say.

4 Tips To Optimize Your Content For Google

4 Tips To Optimize Your Content For Google | The Social Media Times | Scoop.it
Search engine optimization is all about getting your site to the top of the search engines for your target keywords. Several tactics are used to do this.

donhornsby's curator insight, June 25, 2015 8:44 AM

(From the article): Forget about Google for a second. Write detailed material for your readers. Give them the nitty-gritty for whatever you’re writing about. Don’t hold back. You’ll find that many of your readers will share your content with their friends. They’ll also be more likely to engage with it. This will create natural signals that make Google sit up and take notice.


A quick recap: SEO is about taking direct action to get your site ranked. CMO is about using your content to indirectly build a variety of signals that tell Google to rank your site higher. Neither strategy replaces the other. They work together, like close brothers or sisters.

7 Lessons Canva Learned While Growing Social Traffic by 420%

7 Lessons Canva Learned While Growing Social Traffic by 420% | The Social Media Times | Scoop.it
We’ve all been there: burning the proverbial midnight oil, writing, rewriting, and editing a new blog post. A final proofread, and you hit publish.

Then, you wait for the likes, shares, and retweets: the whole social media frenzy. You compulsively check your social media dashboards, again and again, hoping to become a significant signal on the radar of an industry influencer.

But nothing happens.

Yes, you get a few likes and an inconsequential number of shares, but the response is tepid at best. You start questioning your ideas and your writing skills, trying to figure out what went wrong. And a day later, you forget about it and start the whole cycle of writing and publishing over again.

What are you doing wrong? More often than not the mistake is right there in front of you: You didn’t pause and think.

Trust Hacking

Trust Hacking | The Social Media Times | Scoop.it

We can shortcut the path to trust and sell more products by leveraging certain behavioral psychology principles called cognitive biases and heuristics. Cognitive biases and heuristics are mental models (sometimes irrational or flawed) used to reduce the time or energy for a task when making judgments. While there are over 100 cognitive biases and heuristics, I want to focus specifically on ones that give your product instant trust in the eyes of the consumer.Hence trust hacking.But first, a warning: I am in no way promoting black hat persuasion tactics for the sole purpose of getting money from people. You must first have a good product that will genuinely help consumers. These tactics will help get your product into more of the right hands. If that is not you, stop reading right now.Onward....

Pinterest doubles down on making money, rolls out video ads

Pinterest doubles down on making money, rolls out video ads | The Social Media Times | Scoop.it
Pinterest may be a popular service with an estimated 47.1 million monthly users, but profitable? Not so much.

To help change that, the social network expanded its ad products on Tuesday by rolling out video ads called Cinematic Pins.


Cinematic Pins work similarly to Pinterest’s current ad products, Promoted Pins, in that they’re formatted to blend in with other items in your home feed — except for the fact they're motion-based.


Gap, L’Oreal, Target, Unilever, Visa, Walgreens and Wendy’s are among the first crop of paid advertisers.
