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.
And I package them neatly in bite-sized chunks in my Weekly Marketing Skinnies right here at Traffic Generation Café every Saturday morning.
Between you and me, I have no idea why I bother investing hours of my time weekly reading all these marketing news just to boil them down for you in my Weekly Marketing Skinnies, other than the fact that I know you don’t have the time to keep up with the fast-paced marketing industry on your own, yet you DO need to be in-the-know to remain competitive.
Plus, your enthusiastic comments and social media shares show me just how much you truly appreciate being kept in the marketing loop in just a few minutes per week.
If you appreciate what I do, share this Marketing Skinny: Tweet0 Pin0 Share0 +10Total Shares 0THANK YOU.
Now grab your cup of coffee and let’s catch up on the marketing news that matter to your business.
Search
Is there an SEO benefit to linking out to other sites? Google answers.
Moz results of the 2015 Local Search Ranking Factors Survey are in.
Social Media
Facebook redesigns mobile profiles, adds temporary profile pictures, and tests looping video profile pictures.
Facebook updates Notes with cover photos, captions, and text formatting. Looks like it’s all set to compete with Medium!
Facebook now supports 360-degree videos.
Facebook users beware: Facebook “Dislike” scams are back.
Facebook will now begin using information from pages that use Like or Share buttons to better target ads.
Twitter debate: will Twitter change its spots and go beyond 140-character limit?
Twitter announced it would be launching redesigned “Follow” and “Tweet” buttons next month (and lose share count while at it?…)
Google says it will begin changing up the default ‘Blue head’ avatars for Google Account holders who have signed up for Google+.
Blab has introduced the ability to co-host shows.
On a Side Note…
