What is Your Twimpact?

Writing by Nick Stamoulis in Social Media

I came across this really interesting blog post on simplyzesty.com a few weeks ago that outlined a study done by the Journal of Medical Internet Research. The study, which took place over three years, attempted to determine the relationship between heavily tweeted articles and the amount of times they were cited elsewhere on the Internet. The results were pretty impressive; highly tweeted articles were 11 times more likely to be highly cited than less-tweeted articles. The “twimpact factor” measures the number of tweets that an article gets in seven days and the study concluded that “Top-cited CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...

Social Media is Different for Every Business

Do You Want Followers or Leads?

Writing by Nick Stamoulis in Social Media

One of the first onsite SEO recommendations I give to many of my new SEO consulting and social SEO clients is to rethink where they have placed their “Connect with Us” buttons that link to their social profiles. Many website owners place these buttons at the top of each page, giving them valuable top-of-page real estate that I feel could be much better used to hold a call-to-action or lead form. When they ask me why I think they should move those buttons to the side level navigation and footer I answer back with another question—do you want friends CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...

Why Not Get the Link?

Writing by Brick Marketing in Link Building

When it comes to link building for SEO purposes it’s important to not have such a narrow focus. It’s a good strategy to develop a link building campaign that spans over a year time period with monthly activities built in and stick to it, however that doesn’t mean that those are the ONLY activities that you should implement. A typical link building strategy includes tactics like press release distribution, directory submission, social media engagement, social bookmarking, article marketing, local profile creation, and business profile creation. This is a good base and a good starting point, but you never know CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
