What is the best way to share good content (and help myself in the process)
-
i spend a decent amount of my spare time browsing quora, stumbleupon, google reader, pulse, etc keeping up with all the different aspects of internet marketing
when i come across a particuarly valuable piece of content i take a few seconds and share it using hootsuite on my linked, twitter, facebook (i spread them out so there is only one post a day)
this rewards those who write valuable content but im not doing anything to benefit my site - www.sawwebmarketing.com
im establishing myself as somebody who has good stuff to share to my potential clients.... what a quick, easy way to share the high quality things i come across that will create links for me as well? (short of writing my own blog post listing the high quality articles i found with my thoughts on each)
thoughts? opinions?
thanks everybody!

I find social outreach is the best plan of action for back links. I usually find a good article (usually from an author with active social presence) , copy the best paragraph from said article and then do a write up quoting from that article. Once written, then tweet, post (google +, Facebook, ect) the author. Saying you have done write up on them and to come check you out. Build a relationship and hopefully you will get linkin return.
Rand and Ruth Burr have done some good videos on the topic:

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I am also doing the same with my blog and Social media. I share articles I find interesting on Twitter. As you are establishing yourself as someone who shares good stuff, maybe you can throw in one or two articles of yours, generate some traffic and let others people learn more about your website. Furthermore, people would appreciates that you share their stuff and might follow you on Social Media platforms and if you do throw in some of your articles in the mix, people who followed you might do you a favor and share your articles or link to it.
I think what you are doing will help benefit you in the future as you are establishing your own image.

Latest Info-graphic Best Practices
This is a good "problem" to have. My client is a consortium of web companies. It has just produced a terrific info-graphic on the the latest European data policies. The author is a leading lawyer in the field and the content is outstanding, authoritative, and current. The issue is how to best use the info-graphic for both SEO and general marketing purposes. We will publish the info-grahic on our own site. But what else should we do? (1) The info-graphic already contains the website name. Should we make this a hyperlink on our own site, with or without keyword rich text? (2) We can certainly do handcrafted outreach to likely sites, who might republish. Should we just ask them for backlinks and hope for the best? Or should we embed? (3) We can also send the info graphic as an Eblast to a wider list. Same questio:n Should we just ask them for backlinks and hope for the best? Or should we embed? The site already high DA and a diversified link portfolio. There is no need for risky tactics or "Hail Mary" passes. OTOH, it seems a pity not to make the most of this. Ideas on the above? Other thoughts?

Has wiki lost some market share?
I work in the financial space for a forex broker, and noticed this week that Wikipedia dropped from #1 for [forex] to about 8. Good for us, but just wondering if anyone else has seen wiki market share drop and if any big data SEO projects have seen any fluctuation for wiki. Researching why this may have happened.

Hyphenated domains – good or bad?
I have a client who will be changing their domain name from www.brand.co.uk to www.brandglobal.com. There are concerns however that this might affect the searches for brand terms and variants. Hence, there is a suggestion for going for www.brand-global.com. I’m aware that search engines are smart enough to discern the brand name in most cases, but I’m wary if it would impact highly on the brand search terms and would it be a better option to go for www.brand-global.com instead of www.brandglobal.com? Any advice (or reference to discussions around this) would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hreview marked snippets are displayed in a new way in search results!
Getting our reviews to show in the serps is starting to become a crusade 😞 After 6 months of submitting our Hreview marked up content, Google responded with that we had a hidden div within the marked up content, to rectify and then resubmit, which we did. 4 months on, we haven't heard anything, and still no sign of our reviews showing up in the search results until today I noticed we now have a review link in the search results (or see attached see image). It's not quite what I was after, so is this Google experimenting? Have we marked something up wrong? Or do we just have to be more patient, so our listing is presented the same as everyone else, such as Qype, Touch, Yelp etc? Seems to be a very painful process! So any pointers very gratefully received 🙂 review-results.gif
