@cmicontent Content should have a purpose, a target audience an
a measurable objective. #CMWorld
MCC @MelClarkMkt
@CMIContent A1 Content should be share-able, easily digestible, readily discovered
(search) and relevant. #cmworld

around important questions. #cmworld

A2 Search and social are both distribution channels. In ur content calendar, ensure
the two are aligned (keywords, hashtags, etc.) #CMWorld
Stephanie Walton @StephLynette
A2: Search, Social, Lead Gen - it all starts with a defined content strategy today.
Most marketers skip this stage ;) #cmworld
Joe Pulizzi @JoePulizzi
I actually think other way around - social is little without content. Without content,
social is just chatter. You can quote me. #cmworld
Susyn Elise Duris @SusynEliseDuris
A2: Social is jelly, SEO is peanut butter, & content marketing is the bread that holds
it all together :) http://t.co/NN669hChzT #CMWorld

A3: Search phrases express specific intent to find. Social topics expect interaction
or reaction #CMWorld
Lee Odden @leeodden
A3 We know social affects search rank. Question is whether to target high-volume
searches or influential socialites/sharers. #cmworld
Neil Horowitz @njh287
#cmworld A3- Search terms are aimed at solving a time sensitive problem. Social
terms are for engagement and entertainment
Ebyline @Ebyline
#cmworld Social has to be cultivated constantly. Content can be optimized for
search one time. You can’t only do social w/ ur blog content.

@cmicontent A8: We factor in search in every blog post, but not to the detriment of
quality. #CMWorld
MCC @MelClarkMkt

A9: Content easily found but confusing is of no value. Neither is excellent content
no one can find. #cmworld
Lee Odden @leeodden
A9: Meaningful content for customers that is also optimized for discovery - search
or social is the WIN :) #cmworld
Lee Odden @leeodden
@CMIContent Audience. If the reader doesn’t care, you’ve accomplished nothing
(and won’t get anywhere in search besides) #CMWorld
Kristen Hicks @atxcopywriter
A9: content that’s found is meaningless if just keyword stuffing. Be creative &
provide value to the consumer #CMWorld
