B2B Marketing: 9 Ideas for Solving Your Biggest Content Challenges
http://bit.ly/YYWRTy thanks to http://contentmarketinginstitute.com for this nicely done overview. I really stopped when I read that the INTEL crew plans a YEAR in advance on their calendar “Not surprisingly, enterprise organizations are far more challenged with lack of integration across marketing than their small-business counterparts. As more people, products, and geographies become involved — producing integrated content can get pretty complicated.”
Ideas: If you are struggling with getting buy-in, there are two posts I suggest you read: 2 Foolproof Methods for Getting Content Marketing Buy-In and Getting Buy-In for Your Content Marketing: A 3-Point Process. There is some overlap in the ideas, but here are the highlights:
- Really understand – and be able to articulate – the value of content marketing.
- Do a pilot program and report on key metrics, such as immediate gains (e.g. social followers), social rankings, back-links and leads/sales.
- Play on fear. What is the competition doing that you are not? What does your management care about most?

The 2013 Digital Marketer Report and What You Can Learn From It
Written by: Eric Brantner
Eric has shared several good bits from the 2013 Digital Marketer Report, one of them is this:
The more niche you can go, the better off you are. Search engines aren’t getting any less competitive. In fact, as the numbers suggest, it’s more competitive than ever. So if you are going after highly trafficked keywords, it’s going to prove difficult (if not impossible) to get your head above water. With that in mind, the smaller the niche you can find, the better off you are. Why? Well, there are less people fighting for those search terms. You can be a big fish in a small pond, rather than one of trillions of fish in a pond where there’s no way a fisherman’s going to catch you (how do you like that metaphor?).
My question is this. What amount of niche can be done with geo-tagging?

They will never be as fast or as strong as you:
I’ve seen an agent punch through a concrete wall; men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air; yet, their strength, and their speed, are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong, or as fast, as *you* can be.” — Morpheus, “The Matrix” (1999)

“This site may be compromised” and what to do when that happens
http://www.facebook.com/guyrcook.webdeveloper the warning message made my phone ring once when a customer at the local computer store had website problems, the store referred their customer to me to sort it out. Their issue was more involved than this post has room for, so in the facebook page I add content into, (the link above) I’ve posted:
Results labeled “This site may be compromised” and if you see that in Google search results, here’s why you should contact your webmaster: http://bit.ly/XdU2eb (might bookmark it for that ‘rainy day’ when you need to know, I hope you never have to use this link.)
Results labeled “This site may be compromised” – Web Search Help
If you’re the administrator of a site we’ve identified with this warning message, please visit the instructions found in Google’s own Webmaster Help Center to investigate and resolve the problem.
