Why Journalists Are Outranking Marketers in Search (And How We Can Compete)

Why Journalists Are Outranking Marketers in Search (And How We Can Compete) | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

But do content-driven brands skew closer to publications or are their marketing roots still showing? We analyzed 200 posts that ranked on page one of Google for terms related to the marketing industry that generate at least 500 monthly searches.

Of course, publishers, whether marketers or journalists, have direct control over only a handful of Google’s evolving ranking criteria, and the factors that impact search results shift by topic and keyword. For example, influencing page and domain authority is like steering an ocean liner: It’s doable, provided you’re not in a hurry. Thus, for the purposes of our analysis, we paid particular attention to the recency, content structure, and post quality -- factors largely within the publisher’s span of control (though because the weighting of each is constantly adjusted by machine-learning, we kept our analysis broad stroke and directional)....

Hubspot compares news sites with marketing sites and comes up with strategies and tactics that can help content marketers compete more effectively.

"It’s tempting to get distracted by speculation surrounding the latest SEO algorithm update, but remember that the core principles have gone largely unchanged. Content quality, depth, and freshness are still the pillars for effective search strategies while a strong distribution channel can help accelerate success."

Content Marketing in SEO – Infographic | SEO & Digital Marketing Blog - Abdul Malick | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Basically, content marketing is the art of communicating with your customers and prospects without selling. It is non-interruption marketing. Instead of pitching your products or services, you are delivering information that makes your buyer more intelligent. The essence of this content strategy is the belief that if we, as businesses, deliver consistent, ongoing valuable information to buyers, they ultimately reward us with their business and loyalty. Nowadays people also look for the facts and useful information about the products and services that they find interesting instead of ads.

So engage your audience with unique & useful story/ information of your services or product.  Provide your information precisely not with bag of unnecessary stuffing of keywords. Make your content king in the marketing world and become a great Marketer....

Google Says You Should Avoid Link Building

Google Says You Should Avoid Link Building | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

You know how you’ve been building links to your website for years, trying to get Google look upon it more favorably? Well, according to Google, you shouldn’t bother doing that.

Nearly an hour into a Google Webmaster Central Office Hours hangout on Friday, Google’s John Mueller was asked whether or not link building, in any way, is good for webmasters.

Mueller’s response (via Search Engine Roundtable) was, “That is a good question. In general, I’d try to avoid that. So that you are really sure that your content kind of stands on its own and make it possible for other people of course to link to your content. Make it easy, maybe, put a little widget on your page, if you like this, this is how you can link to it. Make sure that the URLs on your web site are easy to copy and paste. All of those things make it a little bit easier. We do use links as part of our algorithms but we use lots and lots of other factors as well. So only focusing on links is probably going to cause more problems for your web site that actually helps.” Emphasis added.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

So let me repeat again for all of you bloggers, content marketers and PR people what Google's own John Mueller says about link building:

"So only focusing on links is probably going to cause more problems for your web site that actually helps.” 


I'd repeat it again, but you get the message. Quality content rules.

How Much of Your Blog Post Do People Actually See?

How Much of Your Blog Post Do People Actually See? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

...How to Write Ridiculously Persuasive Landing Pages is one of our best performing blog posts this year. (And it was published this month!)


Once again, popularity is no indication of user engagement. In fact, because this was a longer post, fewer people made it to the bottom than our previous example. This makes the slide-in CTA even more important, as if we’re not capitalizing on our best performing content, our strategy would have major holes in it....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Ever wonder how much of your blog posts your readers actually see? Check out this data to learn more. Great social marketing and optimization case studies. Highly recommended 9/10
