The Basics of Content Marketing

 

As the Web becomes more sophisticated and Google changes search algorithms to favor websites that offer quality content, the SEO paradigm is shifting. 

 

Slowly but surely, almost everything that used to constitute search engine optimization (SEO) has become ineffective, risky, or inappropriate for most brands.

 

Instead, the focus of SEO is on improving the user experience by creating high quality relevant content, a user-friendly interface, and an integrated search and social media effort.
