Pinterest Cheat Sheet and Tips to Better Use the Network

By now, I hope most of you have already heard about Pinterest, the photo social sharing network. Pinterest is a great network and used properly, can be (p)interesting to build relationships, attract traffic and even make money, as recently introduced by Viraliti.com. Viraliti is relatively new, and current campaigns are still at minimum. Nonetheless, I am closely looking at how it evolves, as it may take off and become an interesting platform to make money online.

Anyway, as more and more people use social networks on a daily basis to socialize and interact with their friends and followers, Pinterest, as many claim, have been a proven source for referral traffic and can be good for businesses to build exposure and increase brand awareness. However, just like anything else, there are some “things” you need to know and apply to make it work better for you.

For that matter, here are some articles worth checking out, in case you missed them:

Penguin result to? Electronic Mass Destruction on search rankings? Actually, not quite, but close enough. In a little over a week, the so called “Google dance” strikes again. Google has confirmed that a Panda Update (not a refresh) was rolled out, immediately followed by the EMD (exact match domains filtering) and yesterday, a Penguin refresh. That’s a lot of “cleaning up” in a short period of time. Anyway, I won’t be repeating more stuff about this issue as there are really some great information out there that discusses about them (including the big list of algorithm changes released on August and September). If you are interested and want to know more, read some of the articles as highlighted on the SEO/Inbound Marketing section below.

As for QDF (Query that Deserves Freshness), Matt Cutts has published a video that clarifies a bit more about “content freshness” and its importance as a ranking factor. Since some of you may probably not fully understand the “need for having fresh content”, I highly recommend watching the video (below). As he points out, QDF is just among the 200

Why Your Blog Posts Do Not Attract Traffic

coined by Microsoft founder Bill Gates in 1996 has been repeatedly challenged by experts in the SEO industry in recent years. Traffic, communication and the customer have all been touted as usurpers to the Internet marketing throne. The points made in each of those things’ favor are well and true, but I do have to remind readers that the arguments do not make the case that content should be forgotten.

I have gone through the same exasperating experience of writing my own blog that barely had any readers. For months, I wrestled with constant disappointment over little traffic, until I swallowed the bitter realization that it was my content that was the problem. I found ten factors that contributed to its overall weakness, and I’d like to share them to fellow bloggers who might be dealing with the same predicament.

1. Derivative Content - As much as I wrote for that blog, committing to a tight schedule to the best of my abilities, none of the posts I published had anything original to offer. Thus, I realized that there needs to be something in the article that makes it stand out among the rest. You need to give visitors a reason to keep visiting your blog instead of a hundred other blogs with the same content.
