It's only words? Working with Content Strategy - Charlie Peverett - iCrossing UK
The document discusses content strategy and how it has become more complex over time. It notes that in 2012, content is created by many different parts of an organization and is expected to achieve multiple objectives. It defines content strategy as "planning for content creation, delivery, and governance" and discusses how it brings together different activities, objectives, and users around content. Finally, it provides some tips for working with content strategy such as using common terminology, learning from relevant books and publications, and understanding search marketing value at every stage of strategy.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Arriving at an SEO agency in 2007
- #4 Found out stuff about how Google & search marketing worked
- #5 Shocking
- #6 Shocking
- #7 Shocking
- #8 But social media (aka Web 2 point Toto) has pulled back the curtain on this and lots of other behind-the-scenes practices
- #9 And we’re not in Kansas anymore.
- #10 Speech bubble: “I like to pull back curtains”“If you look dodgy when I pull that curtain back…”“Everyone will see”“Woof”

- #19 OR A SHARK WILL BITE YOU ON THE ARSE
- #24 I know I should do transitions but that’s some kind of witchcraft.
- #30 Ergo, it’s not the kind of thing you’re going to tick off in a checkbox.If we continually to treat content as though it is a fix, we will get bitten on the arse by the great white shark of reality. [Add tick boxes on right]

- #40 Words that should be banned #1.‘Linkbait’ could make the person you’re talking to a little bit sick in the mouth.If you make the person you’re talking to a little bit sick in the mouth, they may not be able to talk to you very well, as they’ll be holding sick in their mouth.
- #41 Optimisation = to make the best. Over-optimisation: making stuff *too* good? Will Google penalise you for being *too good*?
- #42 Does this really need any explanation?
