Yet Another Reason Not To Build Your Content Home on Rented Land [Rose-Colored Glasses]

Investing in “rented land” (such as social media) entails paying for something you don’t own. Whole audiences have been wiped out by algorithm upgrades or other modifications that reduced the value of being on a site like Facebook (or Twitter) to nil. But what if your target demographic adores those platforms? You’re putting your entire investment on the line with a platform whose executives could make decisions that hurt you. Isn’t it sensible to spend time where your target audience is? Let’s look at the discussion on the same by Robert Rose.

The Future of Content Marketing Involves AI

Despite the fact that self-driving cars aren’t yet widespread on our roads, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are driving commercial outcomes.

15 Tips for Scaling Your SEO Content Strategy

SEO content planning might be complicated for SEOs that work on enterprise websites. A small to mid-sized organisation’s website may have only a few hundred web pages or less, but a large business website may have thousands to millions of pages.

Enterprise corporations may have content writers from several divisions for separate websites, website parts, and subdomains. That’s why, when it comes to SEO content strategy, it’s critical that everyone is on the same page. In this post by Matthew Hepburn, we’ll go through how to prioritize SEO in content strategy and how this affects SEO scaling. We’ll also discuss challenges that affect SEO objectives and KPIs.

Daily SEO Fix: Competitive Keyword Research

Any SEO plan must include competitive keyword research. Understanding what keywords your competitors are ranking for is critical for identifying the most relevant terms in your niche or sector.

But, before you start looking for new keywords, you need to identify who your genuine competitors are. You may believe you know your search results competitors, but a closer study reveals that they are not the same. Finding out whose sites appear beside your own the most often might offer you a great idea of who you’re up against for valuable keywords. The competitive research features in Moz Pro help you figure out who your competitors are, what keywords they rank for, and what their best content is. This information may then be used to develop high-quality content that can compete with what your competitors have written and drive more visitors to your site. Michael Cole will show you how to get the most out of these tools in the following post.

Social Medial

Social Media Marketing Is Costly and Far Less Effective Than It Once Was 

There was a time when social media platforms were like jet fuel for all the consumer brands: you could throw money at a hyper-targeted ad campaign and watch your sales rise.

That particular moment has passed. The cost of acquiring new clients on social media has risen dramatically: the cost per thousand impressions on social platforms increased by 41% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the previous year’s same time. At the same time, new privacy rules and the release of iOS14 in early 2021 (which restricted Facebook ad targeting) make targeting individual consumers more difficult than ever. Not to mention the possibility that these platforms have reached brand saturation. It’s enough to make you think about skipping social media marketing altogether.

So, are you ready to reduce or eliminate your social media marketing efforts? Jordan Hickey’s proposals for alternate tactics for reaching existing clients and gaining new ones include Duda and Vartan.
