3. More Backlinks Or Social Content?
The growing need for B2B social marketing couldn’t be clearer;
in an ongoing effort to promote social marketing strategies and
to improve its Search Engine experience, Google has created
the SEO Penguin update.
The essential goal of the Penguin is to minimize and eliminate
loopholes and exploits used by SEO experts to artificially
inflate a website’s page ranking.
Search Engine ranking will now be determined by an improved
algorithm that more than ever assigns value to high quality,
relevant content and rewards pages actively shared on the
social net.
This is just the latest of several initiatives launched by Google
to improve the user experience of its search engine.

4. More Backlinks Or Social Content?
Possibly the largest effect of the Penguin update to the SEO
strategies being used is its new treatment of backlinks.
The new policy will now ascribe values to each backlink with
the goal of rewarding what are viewed as good backlinks
while penalizing those that come from low-quality content
pages.
This is intended to root out web spam and SEO
gamesmanship.
Companies now are required to implement more social
content and will be forced to provide quality, original content
with links that are useful to users.

5. More Backlinks Or Social Content?
This is good news for businesses and search engine users alike.
Gone are the days when keyword-loading and content-copying are
rewarded with the highest page views.
Going forward, we can expect more relevant and accurate answers
to our queries that will save time and reduce confusion.
Imagine attaining the most up-to-date and relevant answers to your
queries that are not convoluted by paid search ads that distort
search results!
By making social content an essential criterium of page ranking,
Google has fundamentally re-shaped the way companies design
content marketing strategies for their online properties and digital
assets.

6. More Backlinks Or Social Content?
Social content marketing has re-written the rules of
communication between a business and its prospects.
Now more than ever, corporate executives are sharing their
experiences through tweets, Linkedin and Facebook groups
and status updates, Proformative’s expert pages and its
B2B Marketplace interactions, Instagram photos; they share
their knowledge on YouTube and Metacafe via Proformative’s
video papers and interviews, and communicate via emails.
Fortunately, the blending of content, SEO and social media
has created a unique opportunity to optimize each customer’s
attention throughout each part of the sales cycle from initial
brand awareness to purchase.

approach, a “socialized” framework for content marketing

their needs fulfilled.
