We now have to consider a variety of traffic sources, including people who connect with clients\u2019 websites from Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, to name a few. Part of our overall strategy with new and established clients is a strong, engaged brand over relevant social media.<\/p>\n<h2>Content for People and Not Search Engines<\/h2>\n<p>For a long time, creating content in our line of work for websites, blogs and social media has been largely driven by attracting search engines instead of people.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen this trend (relatively) slowly change with the growth of social media outlets. Why? Because social media outlets are populated by people, who have interests and preferences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does this mean for you?<\/strong> If keywords and search engine analytics are the most important elements to you when it comes to creating a blog post on your site, it\u2019s time to re-prioritize. The goal now is compelling content that engages readers and makes them want to share it with others.<\/p>\n<h2>Quality and Not Quantity<\/h2>\n<p>There are blogs out there in a wide range of niches that post all day, every day. I don\u2019t know about you, but I don\u2019t have the time or energy for that kind of strategy.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning of my own pursuits, I decided that quality would have to work instead of quantity. I post what I think will interest my readers and that which I find entertaining or useful. The growth of my audience has taken time, but it has been steady over the years, and the followers I have cultivated with this strategy have not left.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What does this mean for you?:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Focus on quality content. Focus on your audience. Focus on engaging those readers.<\/h3>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Strategy is Long-Term<\/h2>\n<p>It seems counter-intuitive that this website and SEO business changes so fast and so much, but that a good online marketing strategy is long-term. It would seem instead that the strategy would need to constantly change, utilizing the short-term, in order to keep up.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve not found this to be true. Integrated and online marketing success is a long-term proposition. Yes, there are short-term goals and benchmarks, but reaching your desired audience and building engagement takes time, effort, energy and careful thought.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/prasadk.com\/my-press\/new-seo-strategies-2013\/sustainable-and-algorithm-proof-new-seo-methods\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-469\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-469\" alt=\"Sustainable-And-Algorithm-Proof-New-SEO-Methods\" src=\"http:\/\/prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sustainable-And-Algorithm-Proof-New-SEO-Methods.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"5460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sustainable-And-Algorithm-Proof-New-SEO-Methods.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sustainable-And-Algorithm-Proof-New-SEO-Methods-44x300.jpg 44w, https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sustainable-And-Algorithm-Proof-New-SEO-Methods-768x5242.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sustainable-And-Algorithm-Proof-New-SEO-Methods-150x1024.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sustainable-And-Algorithm-Proof-New-SEO-Methods-300x2048.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sustainable-And-Algorithm-Proof-New-SEO-Methods-690x4709.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search Engine Optimization is one of the common and its like everything else in our online marketing world \u2013 constantly changes in back end and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[9],"tags":[26,24,25,52],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":479,"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468\/revisions\/479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prasadk.com\/my-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
