    Adria Saracino –

    I became a marketer somewhat by accident. I still remember filling out college applications, answering the fretful, “What do you plan on doing with your life?” question with that annoying confidence only a 17 year old can possess. I knew I would be in magazine journalism. If that... Read more

    All online businesses want links. To get links using content, it seems like an easy equation: epic content = a lot of links. But what exactly does epic content mean? Oftentimes the task of developing epic content is left to creative types; leaving them with little more than the goal of having it... Read more

  • Testing Content Via Different Marketing Channels

    Stephanie Chang –

    As SEOs, we’re often told the value of having unique, quality content on a site. However, it can be difficult to quantify what that means - is it just ensuring that the content itself isn’t duplicate on your own and other sites? Is it a preventative measure against Panda or future... Read more
