Live @ SMX Advanced: Managing Search In A Multiscreen World

Apr 11, 2013 at 7:00am ET by Chris Sherman

Quick survey question: How many "screens" are you paying attention to right now? Computer? Check. Smartphone? Check. Tablet? Check. Television? Perhaps. And for how many of these screens have you optimized your search campaigns? And how do those campaigns interact and reinforce one another when your customers also are multitasking in their simultaneous multi-screen worlds? It's an important question, primarily because many of us are still living in the single screen world of desktop search. And current evidence suggests that may prove to be a serious, perhaps fatal mistake. Just yesterd [...]

Live @ SMX London: Facebook’s New Graph Search & Its Marketing Implications

Apr 10, 2013 at 12:13pm ET by Chris Sherman

In January, Facebook unveiled its first major move into the search space: Facebook Graph Search. Graph Search is not just another index of the Web, however. Rather, it's powered by what people are liking and sharing, leading to vastly different results than you'd see on Google. And while it’s not currently a direct threat to Google, the writing is on the wall, so to speak: Graph Search is poised to change the very fundamentals of SEO, and socially-informed search and content marketing. Graph Search is currently being rolled out as a small private beta, but over time all billion-plu [...]

Live @ SMX Advanced: The Periodic Table Of SEO Ranking Factors, 2013 Edition

Apr 9, 2013 at 7:00am ET by Chris Sherman

Many people think of the periodic table as a basic organizational map of the elements. It is, but it's also much more powerful than that. By definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, allowing you to make connections and deduce relationships that might not be obvious at first glance. It can also be used to predict new or undiscovered properties and trends that others may not be aware of, and that can be hugely influential in the highly competitive environment of search marketing. That's why The Periodic Table Of SEO Ranking Factors, 2013 Edition is one of the lead-off s [...]

SMX Advanced Keynote: Microsoft’s Vision Of The Future Of Search

Apr 2, 2013 at 3:08pm ET by Chris Sherman

Ask just about any search marketer what they associate with Microsoft, and the answer will be "Bing." But, Microsoft is much more than Bing, with many business units and a formidable research division. And increasingly, Bing is not "just" Microsoft's Google competitor; rather, it is at the core of everything the company is trying to accomplish. If Microsoft is successful with even a handful of its ambitious projects in big data, data mining and connecting the various technologies it has developed, the new possibilities and opportunities that will open up for marketers will be enormous.
