Taking Of Google 1,2,3 - Create Your Internet Marketing Destiny

Taking Of Google 1,2,3 - Create Your Internet Marketing Destiny | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Google can feel like a dungeon master. If your website is mission critical, and whose isn't now, and any traffic source controls more than 30% of your websites traffic and/or conversions you are in trouble.

Diversification is the key to online marketing success. This post is about 3 Giant Steps to creating your own Internet marketing destiny. Following these steps mean Google's moves will hurt less.

If you've just been tagged with a traffic penalty don't rush out and start changing things. Organic change is needed, but you should do so with a plan.

BUT, you can double down on PPC, up your email marketing fequency and increase social. Those moves may close the gap left by a Google algorithm change while you begin to remove links (with RemoveEM.com) and do the other things that will get your Google train back on track.

Here is the piece about how to diversify your traffic sources and build your list:

The Way We Think About Charity Is Dead Wrong | Dan Pallotta Video on TED.com

Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Such an important idea, that we are asking the wrong questions in the wrong way, shared on this heartfelt TED video by Ted Pallotta.

Save The World Marketing Is Here!

Embrace Save The World Marketing 
In a social mobile and connected time for profit companies should learn emotional storytelling from nonprofits. Nonprofits should learn viral marketing and SEO from their for profit cousins. 

Save The World Marketing is a "new altruism" that is sweeping across social media. Companies and brands that embrace Save The World Marketing create an emotional connection with customers via authentic stories and social media.

Every enterprise is saving the world in some interesting way. Telling that story or finding partners who can help tell a company's "save the world" story should be a top priority for senior managers and small to medium sized businesses (SMBs).

To some extent, it pointed the changes happened today in marketing and how to cope with such changes.

Your Blog: Hub of the Great Content Marketing Wheel | Small Biz Trends

Your Blog: Hub of the Great Content Marketing Wheel | Small Biz Trends | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

We all hear the benefits of blogging touted throughout the blogosphere. Heck, if you haven’t heard any of the so-called benefits, Jeff Bullas has written up 10 of them, any one of which is enough to convince me.

 

Today, however, I want to focus on one very specific benefit (not on Bullas’ list): A blog serves as the hub of your content marketing wheel.

 

As the hub of your wheel, all other content marketing efforts radiate out from the blog and shoot back into the blog....

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Agree with Jeff. Love the analogy and the conclusion. I use Scoop.it as my hub because the feedback loops are faster. In my case, extending the analogy a little painfully, one wheel fires with Scoop.it in the hub and some of those "firings" are transferred over to the blog.

Blog time is more expensive than curation so I make content EARN its way into our blog, but I like the analogy even as I am extending it painfully.

I like this analogy and blog positioning. 

Jeff Domansky's comment, February 28, 2013 1:33 AM
Totally agree with you Marty on time factor and it's getting tougher all the time. Scoop it has a very quick feedback loop as you say.
