How do you go about sharing and marketing your articles to get exposure?
-
Hey Guys,
So I have heard about this thing called blogger outreach lately, but I was wondering, what was the point of creating good quality content, if the content can no be found?
Is there some sort of way that we would need to go about making the content seen? Sorry about the ignorance around this stuff, I'm completely stuck for how to market our content. I have read through the backlink guide by moz I have also read other articles about blogger outreach.
Any advice would be great. Is there some sort of approach that anyone else uses that could shed a bit of light for me.
Thanks

Take a look at what some of your top competitors or successful related companies are doing to get some ideas. Look for evidence that their audience appreciates it.

Hi Donna,
Yes for sure, I'm trying to get my content heard or out there! I spend a lot of time working on unique and quality content that is above my competitors, we are a new site so I'm looking for ways to build up our backlink profile, domain authority and overall ranking position.
I see a few things to consider after google search for content promotion, just not too sure what is the right way to go about it or which angle to approach it from.

Hi Umar,
Wow thank you so much, I found a few interesting things using these tools! Awesome thanks so much! Is there anyone in particular that you would recommend using above all 3?
How do you go about building trust with them via social media? Is this something that they would pay attention to?

Hi Edward,
It sounds like you're looking for content promotion ideas of which blogger outreach is one option. Try doing a Google search for "content promotion" to find ways to increase your content's visibility and exposure.

Hello Edward,
I'm glad my response answered your question.
So for finding influencers, bloggers or people who are sharing about your industry you can utilize these three super awesome tools,
- BuzzSumo (Influencer section)
- Followerwonk
- Topsy
These tools will gives you the information about their social accounts. All you have to do is to follow them and start interacting. Don't pitch you content in first place, try to build some trust and then ask for the email details.
For the PR, I think it's not a good idea to issue press release for every new content you publish. But yes, if it is something very exceptional, you can consider.

Hi Umar,
Wow, thank you so much for answering my question in very much a way I can understand. I like your analogy, I appreciate this.
So moving forward from here, the concept you mention about "outreaching" to people, influencers and bloggers, I think i understand this, but how would you suggest about finding influencers, bloggers etc in your industry. for eg: I'm in the Psychic Industry, majority of my competitors won't be interested, but i have identified a few other popular blogs such as Tiny Buddha, but my question would be, is there a specific way process I would go about reaching out to them?
Also, what is your view on Press Release to try to get some exposure?
Thank you again for your help

Hey Edward,
I wouldn't call it your ignorance, it's a very good question indeed.
Blogging outreach is one of the technique of content marketing. Imagine this scenario, after spending days you finally produce something very exceptional that no one has written about and you published it with full of excitement hoping to get the appreciation and shares. But, it's all wasted because no one knows about you and didn't notice your tweet.
Most of the time, you cannot be able to create that "ideal traction" either because your brand is new, your social following is low and no one noticed that you shared something mind-blowing or only your employees and friends are in your mailing list.
This is where the concept of "Outreaching" applies i.e. to get the list of people, influencers and bloggers to let them aware of your content by emailing them, pitching them on social media etc.
The whole purpose of this practice is to increase the reach of your content so that people started to recognise you.
Hope this helps!
Umar

ECommerce Configurable vs a lot of articles
Hey Moz Community! We have a eCommerce Store with a ton of articles/products. And we have a lot of Brands/Manufactures for Flavors with different tastes. As example we have a Brand Called "Copy cat" with 60 different flavors, and their product names are "copy cat xyz flavor". Currently we have for each flavor a single product created, so i guess we have a lot of duplicated keywords [copy cat] flavorname [flavor] + generell manufacturer content in the product descriptions. While thinking about it, i thought about to merge all those articles to configurable articles. So we have 1 Copy Cat article with some kind of a dropdown selection for the different flavor. Does anyone have experience with this? How will the User Experience change? (we are using elastic search, it's including the variations of products - so the search wouldnt be affected)

LinkedIn & B2B Marketing/Brand Authority: How Useful Is It?
Hi Folks, I'm in the process of drawing up some detailed step by step marketing and content strategy guidelines and I'm currently researching LinkedIn as a platform and the potential benefits for B2B marketing on it and building brand authority. I'm coming across some conflicting data regarding how useful it is. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the viability of LinkedIn for B2B marketing and building brand authority? A couple of questions would be: Is it a viable B2B marketing platform? Is it a good place to build brand and industry authority? What techniques would you concentrate on over others? Any advice on the subject would be great. Thanks, folks. Regards Gareth

Opinions For Getting Worthwhile Links For Longevity
Hi Everyone, I have just joined the Moz community and have been reading through a lot of content. I have a question and I would like to put it out to all of the professional digital marketers here to hear their take on it. Basically I work for a construction company that has developed a way to build extensions to houses which is environmentally friendly and cost effective. Obviously the house extensions market is pretty competitive and I need to work out how I can make headway into the market for the digital marketing side of things. The website is still under construction and I am having it built in order to will viewers to enter their contact details for more information as well as provide lots of useful content that show why the product will be more cost effective than say a standard timer frame constructed house extension. We are having some professional videos made as well so we can set up a YouTube channel and this will be clearly visible on the website as well. What I would like advice on is how would you start to build quality links to a site like this. We are not going for just local trade but more national (UK). The main thing is that we have longevity and I know it wont happen very quickly but I want to ensure that we do things the right way. Thanks Barry

Just looking for suggestions. Thank you!

Tips for maximizing MSN exposure
Hi all, My client’s site (carismaautodesign.com) has just been featured on the front page of MSN Cars, see here: http://cars.uk.msn.com/features/the-most-outrageous-car-interiors-ever#image=2 and http://cars.uk.msn.com/features/the-most-outrageous-car-interiors-ever#image=3 These two images feature the interiors designed by Carisma and, as expected, traffic has shot through the roof. MSN have not linked to carismaautodesign.com but have cited the brand at the footer of the images. Further down the page they’ve also linked through to Bing images on the product terms, example:- http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Carisma+Mercedes+Viano+&go=&qs=n&form=CARP My Question: Is there anything else we can do to maximise this exposure, on-site or off-site to ride the wave a bit longer? I guess this is not limited to SEO specifically, but online marketing techniques as a whole? Thanks, Woody.

How do you calculate Share of Voice?
Traditional Share of Voice (SOV) used to be calculated by how much your industry on the whole spent on marketing and how much you're spending on marketing. But how do you calculate SOV for the web with different page rankings for multiple keywords, social mentions, and so on? Anyone have any ideas?
