(From the article): MAKE YOUR SEARCH TERMS STAND OUT


After you have determined your target keyword /search phrases you can further highlight your keywords by making them stand out. A good way to do this is to create hyperlinks or using different font color or boldness using your keywords or keyword phrases.

How Social Signals really affect your Search Rankings

How Social Signals really affect your Search Rankings | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

'I fear the term ‘social signals’ has been somewhat overused (and in some cases, abused) by search marketers, and there’s a blanket misconception about how they actually affect a site’s organic search rankings. 


Personally, I’ve been a long-committed proponent of the use of social media marketing strategies as an element of any SEO campaign, but the influences that social media events have on a website’s actual domain authority are both complicated and poorly understood. 

 

If harnessed properly, engagements and activities on social media really can have an effect on your site’s overall ranking, but maybe not in the exact way you think. 

 

Throughout this article, I want to explain all the ways that social signals can, and can’t, affect your search rankings'.

As small children most of us were taught to share our toys, candy and other items with our friends....it made you more "likeable" and friendly....at least that's what my mom told me! Well the same holds true with your social media profiles but more importantly the ones you follow! 


Ask yourself, "when was the last time I liked a post or shared a post from one of my followers?" If you said last week wrong answer the success of your website and your brand is in the sharing, yes that's right sharing, liking, commenting at least once a day helps with your ranking score. Don't believe us, give it a try for one month then let us know what your results are. 


Happy Sharing!

(From the article): Display social network buttons from the side bar


The side bar of your website is another way to get your readers to see you’re online and follow you.

 

Most templates come with social buttons installed for sidebar use, but if not, use a plugin for the sidebar.

 

It adds another layer to people being able to find you. And that’s what we want!

The Marketer's Guide to Developing a Strong Corporate and Brand Identity

The Marketer's Guide to Developing a Strong Corporate and Brand Identity | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Chances are, if someone mentions GoPro, you think of a super-sturdy camera for the adventurous.

Why's that? Because GoPro has done a good job defining its brand. Great brands like GoPro are easy to recognize. Their missions are clear, and they foster that customer loyalty all businesses crave.

A brand is one of the most valuable assets of a business, and it needs to be carefully crafted to ensure it properly and authentically represents the business.

Crafting a brand is a shared endeavor, though. Customers, employees, blog readers (sound familiar?), and anyone who interacts with a business has a role in shaping the brand, which is why we've created a very short survey to see what HubSpot means to you. Because what it means to you will help us deliver on your expectations. (We'll get to that a little later in the post.)

Do you know how your brand is doing? Does your business have a brand identity?
