‣ On the social sites:
Never use on facebook
Automatic push:
•It lowers visibility.
•It makes your message generic
Shortlinks
•It takes away SEO-worth
•It makes link less trusted
But it’s ok on Blogspot,..
Last but not least, your site should not suck.
37
I do hope you knew that
38
‣ 2012 & Beyond
‣ They won’t share:
• Advertising space with content.But they might share a jpeg - without link.
• Why you are so important text.Remember me saying mutually beneficial?
• This is so not who I am design.What you share speaks volumes about te sharer, Would you like to be affiliated with user-unfriendliness?
39
‣ 2012 & Beyond
‣ Sharebait won’t work:
• If your link has parameters.Pro-tip: Force a ‘/’ at the end.
• If you 301 redirect the page.Social does not bend that way
• If the sharer is a fraud.There’s a reason low-quality links are dropping out. Don’t go there again!

Measure for Optimisation“What to measure when content serves for inflow, engagement & amplification?”
2 ‣ How to make it work?
41
‣ Start to measure like a publisher
1. Segment your content per topicAnalyse topic clusters & landingpages - don’t miss the keyword data.
Check if clusters serve their purpose/are leveraged.
2. Implement social tracking/ConversionsWhat is shared? When is it shared?
What content-type works for you? On- & off site?
3. Measure you’re distribution channelsDo you have a loyal audience that awaits content?
What are the loyalty rates?
What topics work best & can you optimise?
