Want links or
tweets for your
content?


The same content may
not work for both




@John
Straw, Founder, @Linkdex
Big Question




  BIG question
What’s the relationship between
 types of content in backlink
   volumes and re-tweets?
Why?



 Why do we want to know
 that?

   Because all content is not
  created equal – we want to
know how to write content that
    inspires links and tweets
How?


  How?
We had our analysts look at the activity from a years
worth of posts from;
Slashgear



Why Slashgear?
Surprising Answer




 We were surprised!

We found that different approaches could
  be used to maximize links and tweets

Most surprising that pages that get good
links are commonly NOT the pages that
                get tweets
Twitter loves questions



 Twitter loves questions
Questions like;             45.00
                            40.00
      Why?                  35.00

      What?                 30.00
                            25.00
      When?                 20.00
                                                                       AVERAGE
                                                                       Question Words
      If                    15.00
                            10.00
      How?                   5.00
                             0.00
                                    Links per post   Tweets per post

Make little difference to
link generation but a
major difference to
tweets
Linkers like events




 But linkers like events
Stories like stocks     60.00

                        50.00
price                   40.00

changes, product        30.00


launches and            20.00

                        10.00
                                                      Links per post
                                                      Tweets per post
updates generate         0.00

more links but barely
any change in
tweets
Title length and Tweets




   Post title length(!)
By a slight margin      Under 50
the shorter the title
the more likely a
                          75-100



tweet will occur        AVERAGE                                          Tweets per post
                                                                         Links per post
                           50-75


                           100+


                                  0.00   10.00 20.00 30.00 40.00 50.00
