Social Media Curation Guide
Posted by gfiorelli1
Last year on SEOmoz, I published The Content Curation Guide for SEO, which - even though it is still valid - I thought it needed a fresh addition. Not only does this post update some of the information shared, but it also digs deeper into an aspect of content curation that is actually the most used and, possibly, useful to SEOs and Content Marketers who must deal with more duties than just curation: social media curation.
For that reason, I gave a Mozinar last week about

Should Bloggers Care About Copyright Infringement?
If you blog long enough, it’s not so much a matter of if but when your site gets infringed upon. Between the spammers that are likely to scrape your posts, plagiarist bloggers that will take what they like as their own and others who will try to share your content in ways that don’t give you as much as a link back, you’re bound to hit at least a few infringements if you look hard enough.

Would You Be Surprised If Andrew Mason Survives the Latest Bad News from Groupon?
It’s not as if we haven’t had enough time to make a decision about Groupon as we have watched it go from overnight sensation to hyped-up sensation to over-hyped sensation to IPO to a dramatic stock tumble to yesterday’s awful performance reports. No one is likely to be surprised by this fall from grace.
What has to surprise many is that CEO Andrew Mason has survived every last bit of this. He has been held up as a golden child on the way up to an immature kid during the fall.

What about missing out on that time-sensitive request for proposal, because your email server wasn’t pulling new mail?

The ad did not significantly increase traffic to Blackberry’s site, unlike other brands like Jeep or Axe.

Google changed the face of search technology by evaluating a web page’s importance by the links that pointed at it, both in sheer number and by how much Google trusted the sites those links came from.

New Data Supports the Case for More Twitter Automation
A glance over the top Twitter users reveals an interesting pattern. Most of them are celebrities, well known media outlets, or sports teams. Every single account in the top few hundred most followed Twitter users is famous outside of Twitter. They didn’t get into the top lists because of their Twitter behavior; they got there because they’re famous.

Our Take on the Most Commonly Cited Shortcomings of Inbound Marketing
At HubSpot, we have the privilege of talking to a lot of marketers on a regular basis. And although we're ultimately trying to sell inbound marketing software, a big challenge for our salespeople isn't just in convincing people our software is a good choice for them -- it's also in selling them on the idea of inbound marketing in general, especially if those marketers aren't convinced they should be shifting their marketing from a traditional, outbound approach toward a more inbound one.

The Marketer's Ultimate Guide to Measuring the ROI of Twitter & Vine
According to a 2012 report by Adobe, a whopping 52% of marketers cite difficulties in accurately measuring ROI as their biggest source of frustration in social media marketing. I would like to try and alleviate some of that pain, at least when it comes to marketing on Twitter.

How do I monetize my blog? You don’t.
So you have decided to make some extra money online. You followed the steps and got your domain, hosting, CMS, theme, social media, and the list goes on and on. You finally start blogging; only to find out, the money isn’t cascading in. What’s going on here? You’ve been told that millionaires are made everyday online. You were told, “If you build it, they will come”. You have followed all the steps you knew of, and the money just isn’t coming. Don’t fret; every part-time (and

Audio Books: A Powerful Tool for the Busy Person
For years I have been struggling with two goals of mine: to read more books and to improve my physical conditioning by walking/jogging regularly. Things weren’t terrible, as I was managing to read 6-8 books per year and to walk 2-3 days per week, but my goal is to read 15+ books per year and to walk/job every day.
Sure, these are two tough goals to have, but late in 2012 I came across something that is helping me to get closer to both of them, at the same time: audio books.

How Google’s PageRank Algorithm Screwed the Online Writer (and What They Did to Fix It)

Stop Clicking Here! 7 Superior SEO Alternatives to Generic Links
Posted by Cyrus Shepard
Ove the past year, we've seen a strange trend develop in the world of SEO: the rise of the “generic link.”
Generic links are bland phrases that avoid using keywords that search engines use to determine the context of what you are linking to. These include links like:
“Visit website”
“Read more”
“Useful site”
And, of course, “click here”

Mobile Movie Lovers Love Movies More Than Anyone Else
Nielsen, the guys famous for cataloging what everyone is watching on TV, just posted some results from their 2012 Moviegoer Report and I have the scoop.
