SEO and the Wiki-ization of Marketing

What Is Wiki-ization of Marketing

When claims unsupported by social signals are considered "spam" marketing has been "wiki-ized". Content marketing is NOT solipsistic. Content marketing is a conversation. Lecture and you lose.

Create content unsupported by social media love (shares, links and links) and you lose. Do enough of this kind of one-sided unsupported marketing and you could lose BIG, be labeled a spammer, lose your place in Google or worse. 

The wiki-izaiton of marketing brings new rules about The ASK and The GIVE important for any Internet marketing team to grasp and use. Don't forget Father Time since Google certainly doesn't. Follow tips outlined here and your marketing will be "wiki-ized", tribal and fun. 

Denying marketing's undeniably social present and future at this late date is a sure prescription for disaster. Don't do that is my advice. Do understand how to wiki-ize your marketing.  

 

Ken Morrison's curator insight, May 18, 2013 2:21 PM

I really like this article about how some companies are dooing a poor job at marketing in the social media world. One good example is the infographic that TechCrunch shared yesterday on Facebook.  They fixed it now (kind of) by attaching a link to a site where you can see it better.  However, they shared an infographic that nobody could read.  Yet, it attracted 60 likes and 62 shares in less than an hour. Because Social Signals seem to trump common sense, they still have not taken down this hideous infographic. They are using the negative attention of unpleasant comments to get into newsfeeds and hope that people will click the link.  I don't think it was their stragety, but they have chosen to not take down this infographic (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151684959417952&set=a.114456157951.118433.8062627951&type=1&theater)

Ken's right when he says "Because Social Signals seem to trump common sense" AND such poor content calls into question how much BOT support is built into a platform such as TechCrunch. The idea that the little guy has half a chance doesn't look TRUE when a lousy infographic gets more auto-bot support than content worked into a pot from raw clay. Semantic web will fix some of this, but maybe there is a more important question for TechCrunch. Is THIS TechCrunch a shadow of its founding passion and commitment. Has TC sold out to the point where its MACHINE has taken on a life unto itself and is that a good thing? Ken says NO and I agree. Take our engagement for granted and it can disappear in a blink. Does MYSPACE ring any bells in this regard?
