DESCRIPTION

A presentation delivered at Product Camp St. Louis, March 29, 2014. Getting people to your website is essential to marketing success, but focusing on just “SEO” is a mistake. This presentation discusses the essential elements of driving traffic to your site, even as Google constantly rolls out algorithm updates and people evolve how they get information and what social networks they use. Among other things, this presentation focuses on: > How using a combination of “content neighborhoods” and “keyword silos” can help you win at organic search > How the mobile revolution will – and will not – impact your search marketing > Which social networks, and what kind of social media activity, matter to site performance > Why PR and website performance go together like chocolate and peanut butter
