Questions this episode answers

Why should a business link all social media profiles to the same website?

Chuck explains that when all social profiles link to the same site, those links become incoming links that boost the ranking of that site. Consistency also ensures visitors land on a page ready to convert them rather than getting lost across unrelated pages.

What is selective tweets and how does it help social media marketing?

Selective tweets lets you tag a tweet with the hashtag FB so it also posts to your Facebook wall. If you do not add the tag, the tweet stays only on Twitter. This prevents bombarding Facebook friends with every tweet while still sharing the most relevant content across both platforms.

What makes WordPress a good CMS for SEO?

Chuck says WordPress lets you create clean, readable URLs instead of long PHP strings, embeds titles and meta information that you simply update, produces lighter pages that load faster, and is intuitive enough for a novice. Page speed was noted as a recent Google algorithm factor.

In their words

make sure you tie all these together. Make sure they all link to the same place because those at that point become incoming links.
