The Beginning




★ 1996 - “Content is where I expect much of the real money will be made on the Internet, just as it was in broadcasting.”

The Beginning




★ 1997 - Danny Sullivan and Leland Harden coin the phrase “search engine optimization”

★ From their book “Net Results”

★ It turned out that what governed organic search results back then was how many times the keyword appeared on the web page. The Cybernautics designers had done a tasteful job and the keyword Jefferson Starship did not appear as often as it did on fan pages about the band. Once Bob had his designers have the words Jefferson Starship recur on the page in tiny black print against a black background the page rank vaulted to number one. The band was pleased.

★ Bob and Leland Harden called this new field Search Engine Optimization and soon thereafter hired the first SEOM (Search Engine Optimization Manager). And so SEO was born.

Audience




Audience

★ Identify your target audience

★ Everyone is not your audience

★ Your audience includes more than humans




Audience

★ Understand what types of content resonate with your audience

★ Do they respond to photos? controversy? humor? video? politics? art? local?




Audience

★ When does your audience click and what do they share?

★ Timing matters - A LOT!

★ Identify clickable content

★ There’s no “formula” - you have to figure this out on your own for each client/project




Content




Content

★ Think of content broadly

★ Cliche - a picture (or a video) is worth more than words

★ Think of ways that you can layer content into something new




Content




Content

★ Be an industry go-To resource

★ Share, analyze, and visualize what’s happening across your industry as well as with your competition




Content

★ Point your audience to valuable subject matter

★ What does your audience value?

★ Keep people coming back to your web site and social media accounts by entertaining them, making themselves better, or helping them do their jobs better




Content

★ Find content that people don’t normally have access to

★ Mix in occasional quirky items that make people smile, laugh, or think




Content

★ Find content that people don’t normally have access to

★ Mix in occasional quirky items that make people smile, laugh, or think




Content★ Create a Twitter list

★ Curated lists let people identify a lot of sources of good content in one place

★ Build a sharing circle on Google+

★ Maybe it’s brands you admire, or industry experts, or your customers




Content

★ Consume, consume, consume - get away from your computer

★ Ideas and inspiration (and great content) come from everywhere




Content

★ Follow relevant industry sources and organizations - their email newsletters are your friend

★ You can often find nuggets of industry information on yahoo/google finance, podcasts, slideshare and linkedin




Content

★ Experiment with formats

★ Posts with visuals are shared 30% more often than posts without. Except when they’re not. It’s all about your target audience




Content

★ Provide content to others that they can curate

★ The system doesn't work if we’re all takers

★ Use META DATA to insure you get SEO credit for your work when possible




Community




Community

★ Credit your original source

★ Nothing else to say about this




Community

★ Personalize when you share content

★ Answer the question: What makes this photo, video, data, infographic with sharing?




Community

★ Comment on what you’re sharing

★ Commenting adds value; it also makes you more approachable




Community

★ Say thank you

★ Closing the loop isn’t just good form, it’s also key to a robust community




Community

★ Showcase your community

★ Don’t just share what they share; tout their accomplishments and cool deeds
