Pinterest For Marketing, Google Fresh, SEO, Blogging, Speedlink 05:2012

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great week. Buzz during this week has been focused on FaceBook’s Massive $5 Billion IPO filling and the potential instant “millionaires” this IPO will provide. It is said that as many as 1/3 of current FaceBook employees will become millionaires as soon as FaceBook goes public. Mixed feelings from different market analyst raises concern about “key” employees deciding not to retire sooner than expected :). What do you think?

On Google’s side, yet another tweak on their algorithm was made public about “fresh” content being “fresher”. As it so seems, fresh content has been tweaked to reflect results heavier from “quality” sites, that it was. Makes sense as “fresh” does not really relate to “quality”. There you go, “fresh” and “quality” content are now king and queen, or the other way around?

Lastly, I will have to again remind you about Pinterest. If images are worth a thousand words, then Pinterest is on to millions. It has been growing like crazy and it you are not yet there, you should. No invite? Let me know and I’ll send you one 🙂
