What is the future of blogging?

What is the future of blogging? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.businessesgrow.com - December 15, 2015 1:27 AM

Here’s my summary view of the current state of “blogging:”

-  Written content is an important pillar of “rich content” and will remain so although people will diversify the way they consume content.

-  Our written content will look less like traditional blogs as we publish on increasingly diverse platforms.

-  The Content Shock of information density will prevent some businesses from succeeding with any kind of content marketing strategy as the competition increases and the cost of success goes up.

-  Content is becoming less effective as an inbound “magnet” as platforms become the publishers and move eyeballs away from our home base.

-  To win the battle for attention, focus must be placed on distribution as an “ignition” strategy.


At first glance, this projection may seem bleak. It’s not. This just means things are changing and the rewards will come to those who can make the transformation....

5 Best Tools for Coming Up with the Perfect Domain Name | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.blogherald.com - March 22, 2016 11:02 AM

Domain names have always had an impact in the branding and SEO of online businesses. In the past, online marketers used “Exact Match Domains” or EMDs, which are domain names that are the same as a key phrase they are targeting. Although this is no longer as effective after Google’s EMD update in 2012, coming up with a domain name that’s relevant and conveys a meaningful message to your would-be visitors. Adding a keyword or two in the domain name has also shown to increase a website’s performance in ads and SERP listings.

To help you determine the perfect domain name for your site, here are five of the best tools out there you should consider using....

From designschool.canva.com - October 21, 2015 2:11 AM

If you pay attention to web and graphic design styles, you may have noticed that this has been something of a trend in recent years. You might see blurred images popping up in website hero headers (the large images that extend the whole width of a page) or as site backgrounds, or to set off typography in graphic design.


But the design trends that stick around, like this one, usually do because they’re functional as well as beautiful — they have a purpose beyond just following the crowd or experimenting with a new look just because you can. Good trends do something to improve your designs.


So how can you use blurred images to enhance your own designs? Let’s look at 10 techniques....
