Reading between the lines, if Google are offering social engagement reporting, it says a great deal about their search algorithm. You hit the nail on the head there.

]]> Comment on 5 Reasons To Love Campaign Monitor by Jonathan Saipe http://www.emarketeers.com/e-insight/5-reasons-to-love-campaign-monitor/comment-page-1/#comment-334 Jonathan Saipe Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:46:05 +0000 http://www.emarketeers.com/e-insight/?p=1675#comment-334 Hi Zena, you're right that there's little to differentiate the functionality between email service providers. Mail Chimp's earlier incarnation wasn't my cup of tea, but it has improved a lot and now offers free email broadcasts if your list is less than 2000 strong. If you're having issues with copy and paste, it's definitely worth trying Campaign Monitor's templates which make content editing a lot easier and also strip out unwanted formatting "notepad style".

What I want is a system that's happy to take paste from Word - often it takes ages to sort out formatting and reformatting, and if you don't strip via Notepad, it goes pear-shaped. Mailchimp is particularly bad: on the other hand, they offer the features I want and a great 'test and comment' for manager sign-off. Thoughts?

I'm truly surprised this announcement is not getting more coverage. Not only does this allow for enhanced reporting and analytics of social media efforts (yay!) but it also offers extraordinary insight into how Google's SEO algo responds with the social verticals.

]]> Comment on SEOmoz Google Ranking Factors 2011 Update by Brian Mathers http://www.emarketeers.com/e-insight/seomoz-google-ranking-factors-2011-update/comment-page-1/#comment-314 Brian Mathers Tue, 28 Jun 2011 10:02:09 +0000 http://www.emarketeers.com/e-insight/?p=1506#comment-314 Thanks for sharing your views on these latest figures. I saw a comment recently on another site about this latest release that says "this proves that SEO is a science and adds credibility to the whole SEO process and the industry as a whole". While I can agree with that, the problem that really remains is that there are thousands of small business owners with websites out there who will not even know that this data has become available, and even if they did, many would not know how to go about making effective use of the data to improve their website. The reason for that is many small business owners are still dealing with website agencies that are either just programmers or designers who are churning out sites without talking first with a marketing expert to ensure that what is being built for the business owner will meet with their own and customers expectations. Business owners of course are not taking sufficient time to plan a website properly before inviting the web developer to build pages which in many cases fail to achieve conversion. The moral of the story, business owners must start to become more educated in this stuff, and website agencies need to ditch the pride thing and start collaborating more with Internet Marketing Experts who only wants a win win situation for all who are involved in the mix! OnlineXcellence.com is trying to get that message over to the small businesses of Scotland right now, so that we can see a reduction in website failure.
