Scoopit Republishing Study With SpyFu SEO Analysis

Scoopit Republishing Study With SpyFu SEO Analysis | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

SOne of the Lean Content best practices we’ve seen several speakers at our meetups recommend is to leverage existing audiences on top of your own to increase the reach and the impact of your content.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Scoop.it's Republishing Study
We loved the attached republishing study Scoop.it CEO Guillaume Decugis and his team shared. Since you need a tool to fully know SEO benefits we fired SpyFu up and took a look at Scoopit's blog.

Good News
The team is right. Their republishing post gained rank on keywords WITH TRAFFIC. "With traffic" is in all caps because adding in SEARCH DEMAND (of keywords) is where most content marketers trip up. 

It is possible to KNOW exactly how many clicks Scoop.it gained and then estimate subscribe gains as we did in this public Google Sheets:

 YES, Scoop.it gained clicks from their republishing post (though not exactly from where they thought), and they weren't hurt by duping the content (at least not what we could see with this tool and the hour we had to riff the analysis). 

Smaller Posts Daisy Chained
We eliminate any SEO dupe problems by breaking up posts into pieces and sharing on multiple platforms as we did with Why I'm Not An SEO:

Linkedin Post (part 2 of 3)
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-im-seo-martin-marty-smith 

Why I'm Not A SEO (Personal blog part 1 of 3)
http://www.scenttrail.com/why-im-not-a-seo-triptych/ 

Why I'm Not A SEO (Curagami part 3 of 3)
http://www.curagami.com/magical-thinking/new-seo/why-im-not-a-seo-3/ 

Little extra work eliminates a concern that didn't impact Scoop.it's republishing post (as far as we can see) - duping content.

First Example of A SpinSnip [New Content Marketing Tool]

First Example of A SpinSnip [New Content Marketing Tool] | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

A SpinSnip is moving content from one dimention to another to maximize ROI. SpinSnip Tools is a suite of curation and content marketing tools that help move content within the owned, paid, earned and curated ecosystem increasing return and lowering content creation costs with each SpinSnip. 

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

SpinSnip 
SpinSnip is a suite of content marketing tools we are developing to help marketers lower content creation costs, know what content generates ROI. and connect top of the funnel (traffic generation) to the bottom of the funnel (conversion). SpinSnip means moving content from one bucket to another in order to maximize ROI. SpinSnip may move Paid Content to Earned Content or Eearned To Owned increasing return with each SpinSnip. 

We are creating 5 SpinSnip Tools:

SpinSnip Curator (Content Marketing).
SpinSnip Analyst (Content Marketing Analytics).
SpinSnip Marketer (Lead Gen, Branding, "Advertising").

SpinSnip Crowds (Crowdfunding & Crowdsourcing)
SpinSnip C Level (Content Marketing for C Level).

SpinSnip Curator helps create a workable content development framework by tagging every piece of content created in multiple dimensions and then SPINNING the content dial to see the most helpful view. 

The post below Spins and Snips content from three sources. While this SpinSnip could almost stand on its own most will need editing to meld paragraps to graphics and Vice Versa. 



SpinSnip Curator Dashboard Example
We LACK the tools needed as content marketers to effectively know what content needs spinning and what should be snipped, so we are working on that. Working on a set of tools content marketers can use to know what content is achieving critical mass and why.

[Insert @Pardot Graphic from http://sco.lt/6a2WVF Here (Image at top of this post). 

“Wow you create a lot of content,” a friend said at lunch yesterday. I felt the need to apologize (again). “I love Internet marketing, like to write and enjoy meeting and working with new people,” I stammered.  What I was THINKING was, “I create a lot of content marketing because each piece of content teaches me something and I’m in a big hurry”.

Agree Travis. I'm so worn out trying to curate by mashing tools together. Know there is a better way and will prove it :). M

Another example of the convergence of marketing and technology.

10 Reasons Blogs, Articles and Guest Posts ROCK Startups via @jodyporowski [6 via @Scenttrail] | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

Marty Note
Love this Jody Porowski post since she shares directly and doesn't lay claim to expertise she doesn't have (rare). I also love here reasons for why content marketing matters beyond pure traffic generation such as:


1. Drive Traffic.

2. Increase Awareness.

3. Create new Connections.
4. Produce Warm Fuzzies.


Great list. I would add:

5. Creates online community (net effect of 1 - 4).

6. Voice is authority, authority is reputation, reputation is all.

7. Provides grappling hooks out to social media to accomplish #2.
8. Shares values and nonverbals communication such as WE LISTEN (especially when you curate or incorporate content from users).
9. Promotes User Generated Content (they won't share if you don't).
10. Define your USP and UCA (Unique Selling Proposition and Unique Customer Aspiration).

YES, we live in a post content-shock world, but construct a website without a voice and see how it performs (it won't). Stories, shared intimacy and risk form the basis of any successful online community. Remember 1:9:90 Rule says 1% of a site's visitors will advocate and share valuable UGC (User Generated Content), 9% will vote and share especially content from the highly trusted 1%ers and 90% read and visit (important to traffic numbers but hard to engage).

We used to think content and voice was the ante for an Ambassador Program or the creation of valuable brand advocates and Sheraps. Team Curagami changed our mind recently and now advise customers such as Moon-Audio.com (manufacturers amazing audio cables and sells high-end headphones and earphones) to ASK for help NOW.

Continue to develop content and voice since the more trusted you are the greater chance you have at the gold at the end of the web marketing rainbow - sustainable online community. BUT ASK FOR HELP immediately, specifically and often.

Such a great post by Jody I couldn't help adding a riff from my experience as a content marketer, content curator and former Ecommerce Director. Added to Startups Revolution because content marketing is one of the rocks many startups get hung upon. Don't over think content marketing and create something daily.
