Content Amplification Tactics, Backlink Builder Tool, More World Cup, Speedlink 26:2014

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great and productive week! It´s either the World Cup that´s been distracting me this week or nothing much noteworthy has been going on in the search and social sphere of things. If you are aware of any, please let me know.

Anyway, one of the articles that I stumbled upon this week that is quite interesting is that of “amplifying your content” by Ben Lloyd on Moz.com. Every where you will see the term “content marketing” and tips on what you should do to promote it. Promoting your content after it´s published is a must and amplifying it, even better.

To make the most of your content, you need to make sure you’re integrating correctly with social media, using the most effective tools at your disposal, and most importantly, continuing to pay attention to it long after you launch it, says Ben Lloyd and Brian Rauschenbach.

The video below will tell you about the various tools and tactics that can maximize the reach of your hard work.

Great question, and the article will shed some light to understand what SpyFu does a bit differently. Great read!
