• Stake Your Claim on Social
Media.
• Build Your Social Currency.
• Develop Content and curate
information about your brand.
2. If you have reputation issues…
• Choose your partner carefully. Make
sure they have proper SEO
credentials.
• Discretion is THE MOST important
thing in ORM.
Must up your game, blog comments don’t work anymore, google places weight on the main content.
Got to up the game on your pdf documents, ebooks are being used more an more to get ahead on certain keywords leveraging amazon.com and barnes and noble but also book sharing sites like goodreads.com
Images are increasingly important as many of the attacks on people happen on company or individual images
Video is often overlooked, but youtube is the 2nd largest search engine
Vine and instagram are getting tremendous traffic from the millinials which influence google rankings and suggestion modifications
Quality is becoming important. I think there is a collective agrement with the SEO community that a link is important but a link within quality content is even more important.
