Content marketing for fake snow website
-
Hi there
I have taken control of a webshop that sells fake snow and winter effects products.
I am going to start a blog & in addition to paid and organic search practices, what other content marketing ideas does anyone think could increase traffic.
Cheers,
Ben

You have endless possibilities for content! Here are a few just off of the top of my head:
1. Facts about snow. How do we know that every snowflake is different? Why is every snowflake different? What kinds of snow are there? Why does some snow pack and and some doesn't? You could either have a huge article section or have some cool infographics about snow that are likely to be shared.
2. Trivia about snow - what country gets the most snow? What places has it snowed that usually never see snow at all?
4. Videos - You could put together so many cool pages about snow. You could easily compile youtube videos and make pages like - Top Ten Tobogganing accidents, Coolest snowmen. (There's another idea....pages and pages of ideas of things you could make out of snow....funny ways to make snowmen.), Top ten extreme skiing videos, top ten snowball fights.
I could go on and on. Speaking of snowball fights, you could have pages on snowball fight strategies. You could also have pages on cool ways to make snow forts.
Man...I want to change my niche to snow.

I would create a how-to section with ideas and examples/guides of how to use your products. You could also create some videos of these.
I would also look at **integrating social media into your site, especially the homepage, **and building a following through the main social networks, possibly pushing offers and discounts exclusive to these. A good social following will allow you to put your new content in front of your social network and help gain more links from this.
I would also think of doing some sort of competition for people to create displays/use your decorations and snow, then post these on your site offering a prize to the winner.You would want to put a poll in place for these and encourage visitors to vote on their favourite.
Hope this helps!

How to provide good quality content if competition is stealing
Hi everyone, I have a customer that is very successful in a worlds niche market in the aviation industry. Following Rand Fishkin and Wil Reynolds I tell them to provide the best content they have for their customers and want them to blog. Now the issue is that their competition is playing unfair and already stole texts from them to present those at aviation fairs. What do you think? How can one follow Rands and Wils suggestions without losing in the end? Cheers Marc

Facebook: reaching audience who have liked / shared my content
Hi, I am new to social, so the question might be a bit beginner. If I put a like / share / recommend button on my site, or maybe a comment box, how can I reach audiences at a later time, who have interacted with my plugins (liked/shared/commented)? Paid ads would be one solution, but for now I am interested in organic (free) targeting. So if people who share my content do not become fans at the same time, how can I engage them in new updates about my page? Thanks for thoughts.

Is it possible to get demographic data for a certain section of the website and only that area and not the whole site? Tools? Analytics? Suggestion.
I have a /blog/ section of the site that we would like to have separate demographic data for. But I am unable to figure out the way to create it in a custom report. Is there steps I need to include?

Duplicate Content issue: Amazon book review & company blog
Can my site be penalized for including a book review verbatim in my blog that I also post on Amazon? What are the steps I need to take? I have written a book review that I want to post on Amazon. I am also planning to create a blog post and include the exact text of the review within the post which I will then also promote on my social channels. What do I need to watch out for in terms of duplicate content? Is there a sequence I should follow? We have the rel=canonical tag on our site which is WordPress.

What do I do about old content on my blog?
I run a blog: www.b2bsocialmediaguide.com. It's been going for 2.5 years and some of the old content is, frankly, dated! What do you recommend I do about it? 1. Update old articles with new, more relevant content and change the date? 2. Write new articles with the relevant content and forward the URLs from old articles to the new ones? 3. Do nothing. 4. Just add links to new content from old posts? I don't want to lose link juice!

How do search engines understand what social pages are official pages of my brand? If my Facebook page name is not my brand name (even though there are links from website to page and vice-versa) will that confuse search engines?
My question is about social shares, and how search engines understand what profiles are linked to what businesses?

Would Too Many Scoop.it Backlinks Hurt Our Website?
Hi, We noticed in our Google Webmaster Tool that we have received a total of 10,162 links (still increasing) from Scoop.it over a period of less than 2 months from January. All these links are linking to our home page, and it is topping the list of "Who links the most" under our "Traffic > Links to Your site" in our Google Webmaster. Our second domain that links the most to us only has 1,831 links to our domain. According to our marketing service company who posted our brief bookmark content on Scoop.it: "That just has to do with the page structure of that site. If multiple scoop.it users promote your URL, the link will appear multiple times on each user's page. Plus, it's a curated site, so the link will be recommended to other users. Scoop.it has an Alexa of <1000 so it's a very popular site. If Facebook was fully indexed by Google (and other search engines and crawlers had full access), you'd see a similar situation. There's currently no way to exclude specific social sites, sorry for the bad news. The high # of links from scoop.it are totally normal (and natural for that domain), it's just because of all their internal linking. Google seems to LOVE scoop.it (60M+ pages indexed), so I wouldn't worry." However, we still don't feel comfortable with the explanation because it appear so very unusual and clearly appear to be 'Unnatural' to us as we concern. I wonder if anyone knows if this would get us into trouble with Google? More seriously, get us deindexed due to 'Unnatural' backlinks in short period of time, from one single domain? Can anybody advise us what could we do with the current situation? Highly appreciate your advise, and many thanks! Enam

Should OG tags be used on a websites homepage?
My current shopping cart uses OG tags on about 1/2 of all pages, it puts them on product pages and that about it. Would it be beneficial to have these tags on all pages? Thanks for your time.
