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!

If you post on two Twitter accounts could be rated as duplicate content
I have a personal Twitter account which is building up, but I also have a Twitter account for my holiday letting agency and until now I’ve always separated the subject of the tweets and links to my websites but I’m using Buffer which automates your tweets in advance and so I included some of the links to my business holiday letting agency articles on my personal account and people seem to like them and have shared them, but is there any risks to doing that regarding duplicate type of content? At the end of the day some the people on my personal Twitter will be interested in my agency tweets about holiday accommodation, I just want to do anything which could be termed spam.

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!

Add pictures to website or Slideshare
For a law firm website looking to increase its traffic by offering pictures of cars that were in accidents, would it be more advantageous to add the pictures to the website directly (my inclination) or to Slideshare and put the embed code on the site? Also, we will have an abundance of pictures over time. How would you organize them on the site to maximize their SEO benefit? Have a picture landing page, then links to individual months from the landing page? Finally, assuming I go with a landing page with links to the months of the year (where that months pictures are stored), should each picture ultimately reside on its own page or is it sufficient to have all pictures for that month on one page?

Duplicate Content
I have a question regarding non-original content on multiple sites. I'm working for a client that's company has a personalized social network for it's fans (completely custom, built from the ground up - not like kickapps, or the other social network dev platforms). Anyway the network is fairly active - at least a couple thousand users - and each one of these sites is given a subdomain. Each of these subdomains can be given a custom URL if purchased - but essentially it's much like creating a blogger or wordpress. Each URL is basically "http://FanUsername.BrandName.c0m/" Now the dev had the genius idea of publishing all "corporate/company" blog posts on everyone of these subdomains as well. When first learning of this, I told them it was a terrible idea - and that it may even penalize the main blog. After more research - it looks like this may not be the case? I still think they should just link back to the main blog and discontinue publishing these posts on all of these additional subdomains (and for those that purchased domain names - unique websites). What do you guys think? Should they only include an RSS feed of links back to the main blog? Should they just link directly back to the blog? Or should they offer shortened versions of each blog post - ala links + meta description + Read More...? Or lastly, should they just keep as is? Thanks for the help

Viral Marketing Question: If you build a truly great piece of content, what are the best ways to seed it?
Say the site is a 2 year old eCommerce company that has this awesome clever infographic but not many blogger connections. What would be the best ways to get that content syndicated? What agencies are still left that do actual viral marketing now that Rand and Todd Malicoat have moved on the greener pastures?
