Weekly Marketing Skinny • February 8, 2014

Don’t have the time to read all the marketing news, blog posts, announcements, and other content related to SEO/social media/online marketing published each week?

I’ve got you covered.

I sift through trillions (well, hundreds) of online publications to stay on top of marketing news that might affect your online business.

A note on the new formatting:

I am now embedding news from my Google+ stream into the Weekly Marketing Skinnies.

Why am I doing this?

  1. It helps me to be more efficient.
  2. Hopefully, it’ll help you to better interact with, comment on, and share each bit of news as you wish to.

Here’s what you can do with each post:

Let’s start with the news from Traffic Generation Café.

At TrafficGenerationCafe.com

Other than keeping up with marketing news of the week, I’ve been doing a lot of post updating at Traffic Generation Café. Plus, I’ve repurposed some of my [awesome] content into Slideshare presentations, following my own advice on leveraging your existing content.

Slideshare Traffic Case Study • From 0 to 243,000 Views in 30 Days

get more slideshare traffic

Slideshare.

30 days.

9 presentations.

Over 200K views.

Several first-page Google rankings.

1,400 clicks to Traffic Generation Café and my Facebook fan page.

Over 400 new Facebook fans.

My second largest referral traffic source.

Want some? I don’t blame you. See how I did it.

Or at least check out this [very clever] Slideshare presentation to get the gist:

By the way, if you’d like to embed this presentation into your future blog post (instant content for your blog with minimal work on your part), just hover over the top right corner to get the embed code.

SEO Traffic Guide 2014 – The Short-Attention-Span Version [aka Slideshare Presentation]

For those of you following my Slideshare wows (my account was suspended and deleted without any explanation – details in my Slideshare Traffic post), I am happy to report all is well: I beat them to death with endless emails until they had no choice but to reinstate my account, all views, and all uploads. YES!

On that happy note, I was finally able to publish my Skinny Notes on the latest SEO Guide for non-SEOs - for those of you who thought that some 5,000 words was too much to digest (wooses!).

In case you missed it last week, you should read the full post (almost 1,000 social media shares and 300 comments can’t be wrong!):
