The truth about digital PR: what is normal when it comes to links and coverage? Shannon McGuirk
Within the digital PR industry, we're seeing a bigger and bigger desire for virality over consistency when it comes to link building campaigns with huge hitters getting 1000+ links. These are amazing results, but the reality is in Aira's experience is that it doesn't happen all the time. Shannon will talk through Aira's recent 'State of Link Building' findings and explain what a good amount of links to a campaign is, whilst sharing tips on how to bounce back from a campaign fail given how saturated the media landscape is right now.
Outreach Digital - How to structure a digital PR campaignBranded3
The document discusses strategies for digital PR and link building campaigns. It provides examples of idea generation opportunities like surveys, newsjacking, and infographics. It also covers on-site and off-site campaign structures, how to ask for links, and the importance of focusing on outcomes over outputs when reporting and measuring ROI. Key performance indicators discussed include engagement, SEO, and conversion metrics.
When it comes to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), it’s commonly believed that social media signals don’t directly impact where your website ranks in the search engines.
So why bother?
Well, social media may not have a direct impact on your SEO, but it still plays a momentous role in getting your content in front of a bigger audience. This means that investing time and money in social media can produce something of a multiplier effect.
Think about it this way: you create a great piece of content on social media, such as an original infographic, that attracts some pickup from other users. From here, people are more likely to publicize the data, which may in turn generate more clicks through to your site, which may ultimately lead to site visitors becoming shoppers and entrusting you with their money.
It's the age old question - how exactly do you measure content and what is the ROI? The boss only cares about three things; 1. will it drive sales
2. will it save on costs and
3. is content helping retain our customers.
Here we look at four traditional ways of measuring content to find your return on investment and what really matters to management.
Why does your business need a blog? Here we explore 6 reasons why building a blog strategy is going to increase your brands exposure, build relationships with your clients, cement you as the authority in your field and how you will become a trusted guide.

3 Advanced Non-Profit Social Media Best Practices - ACES InternationalMike Roberts
The document discusses 3 approaches for improving how organizations use social media. It recommends:
1) Driving social media efforts towards specific business objectives like awareness, donations, or community building.
2) Creating useful, value-driven content rather than advertisements since people are more likely to share useful content than ads.
3) Designing content using the S.T.E.P.P.S framework (Social, Triggers, Emotion, Public, Practical, Stories) to increase shareability.
The document discusses strategies for using social media for business. It notes that the fastest growing demographic on Twitter is 13-18 year olds. In 2013, social media overtook email and became the number one internet activity. 48% of Facebook's daily active users are mobile only. The keys to social media success include knowing your audience, being honest and open, sharing interesting content regularly, listening to your audience, and building relationships. A company's website and blog are important central parts of its social media strategy.
The document discusses how the Kim & Chris Social Team at GDS uses social media. It covers how they monitor social platforms, engage users, and what their key performance indicators are to measure success.

The document advocates using remarketing and customer matching across networks to retarget past visitors. It also recommends using social data and trends to anticipate future search behaviors and better target search ads. The overall message is that integrating search and social targeting can improve performance for digital advertisers.

Social Media Marketing for Non-Profits by Matt O'Brien Mint SocialMatthew O'Brien
Http://www.MintSocial.com - On October 15th, 2010, the presentation below was given to Maricopa Association of Governments and the many non-profits across Arizona that shared the morning with me to learn about how to leverage social media to help the poor, the hungry, the homeless and to reach people in crisis across Arizona.
The first thing to note is that non-profit organizations have an advantage over other businesses when it comes to social media marketing. The reason is simple; non-profit organizations have a common mission for helping those in need. Therefore, their marketing message is genuine and does not need to be modified to fit what social media demands (selfless promotion vs. shameless self-promotion). For example, a business that takes their brochure content and promotes it through their social media channels will most certainly get a much low level of engagement with their audience and run the risk of being perceived as a self serving marketer. Contrary to this is the non-profit that typically has a mission of serving those in need and can utilize their 'off the shelf' marketing content because it has a more selfless message for helping others. Isn't this what social media marketing is all about by having a third party promoting a message to benefit another?
Facebook receives more weekly web traffic in the US than Google. Social media gives startup businesses advertising opportunities alongside large corporations. Content marketing through social media is replacing traditional social media marketing as people find products through social content instead of searches. Most companies feel social media use is necessary, though successfully implementing a strategy can be challenging. Big brands have found success through interactive social media campaigns, while some promotions from other brands have faced backlash.

Skipedia proposed a content marketing strategy to Le Ski to increase traffic to their site in the autumn. The strategy focused on creating great quality content in the form of infographics, quizzes, and videos about Le Ski's three resorts to demonstrate their experience and longevity. This content was shared on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and through blogger outreach.

Editor's Notes
Separate agencies: very little cross-over
SEO separate: due to On Page activity, which is most importantPR separate: due to relationshipsSocial separate: brand building, CRMVariationsIn-house: smaller circles, less cross-overSeparate agencies: very little cross-over
Penguin: penalised such as keyword stuffing, link farms and link from irrelevant sites.As these signals went down, others up – social shares, taking over from PageRankGoogle likes ‘intent’: fans follow because it interests them, when they share, they endorse your brand and send positive social signals to Google
Twitter users who are deemed to be authoritative lend their authority to the pages they tweet.
Being a product of Google, Google+ has a tremendous impact on search resultsWith G+ Google can move away from social platforms it doesn’t own, to where it can reliably measure and use the dataThe +1 button needs to be implemented in every blog or website that you own, so that visitors click on that - a +1′d link has a higher CTR in search
Brand page important, content posted on G+ is indexed quickly – note the possibility of publisher rank
Authorship – set it up, increase CTR, choose pic, consider Author rank
Publisher rank?
10m users but growing rapidly – 3rd most popular social network – like Facebook, great sharing potential65% women, recipes, good for retail, but good for travel tooEverything that gets pinned to Pinterest is a followed link back to your website – enhance by including hashtags and linksUse the board
Bing (owned by Microsoft, which owns share in FB) - yes, but only 5% in the UK, 15% in North AmericaVital as part of your marketing strategy, for all its faults, but not so influential on SEO
While social signals are important, it’s the icing on the cake. A good PR is going to impact your SEO through link building
A mention in the press may get seen by 200,000 readers, but a link from their website can be worth more to you in the long runA good PR campaign will be mindful of this – big juicy links from high quality, high Page Rank sites are worth a 1000 link swapsEven more if you are making sure you ask for do-follow links and the right anchor text
Good PR means being good at social – target influencers, thanks them, curate relationshipsUse tags to extend reach in Twitter
