Weekly Marketing Skinny • March 8, 2014

Posted on the 08 March 2014 by Ana Hoffman @AnaTrafficCafe

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.

We’ll get to the marketing news of the week in a minute, but first, a couple of notes:

Slower Load Times

Since I embed Google+ posts to compile my Marketing Skinnies, please bear with slightly slower loading times.

I am trying to figure out a way to speed it up (suggestions are welcome), but for now it is what it is.

A shout to Michael Bennet’s Photography

Thanks to +Michael Bennet for providing this week’s Marketing Skinny featured image!

You can see more of his incredible photos as well as purchase them at Michael Bennet’s Photography.

And by the way, this is just one example of building strong bonds on Google+.

March 8: International Women’s Day

Today’s truly International Women’s Day doodle features a host of inspiring women from around the world, including the President of Lithuania, a brave Pakistani education activist, an ever-curious explorer, and dozens more.

Happy International Women’s Day to all women reading this post. And men: do something special for that special woman in your life today.
