Google Updates Search: Aims High Quality Site
News on Social Marketing, according to Brafton News, in view of Google’s Matt Cutts’ warning on a major move for SEO, marketers awaited an update since then. On Tuesday, Google announced its new search algorithm to combat webspam. The potential target of this update is websites interested on gaming Google’s algorithms to increase search visibility which denies a high-quality experience for users.
According to Cutts, the two types of webspam techniques which are the keyword stuffing and link schemes will be the target of algorithm. Google anticipates it will affect around 3.1% of English search queries and 12% of queries as context.
From Google’s Webmaster Central blog, Cutts emphasized content from a website offering keyword-dense article but less significant key terms to the entire content. Whereas the site published content stuffed irrelevant keywords into a blog post as an attempt to manipulate search rankings.
Keywords are critical component of a content campaign which businesses use to fuel search engine optimization. As they are essential to visibility, a disciplined and strategic use of key terms is essential, for an excessive keyword use is punishable moving forward.
Algorithmic update help companies achieve the SERP standing they desire. Cutts shared his description on future Google algorithm updates as “leveling the playing field,” suggesting that those making user’s experience better will rank well while those exploiting search algorithms will be punished.

Pinterest is Among the Fastest Growing Social Network
News on Social Marketing, according to Topliners Community, a shoot-up in the growth of Pinterest lately made them one of the fastest growing Social Network and the fastest growing site on the internet as well. Pinterest is widely used by women, aged 25-34, and considered loyal users.

Facebook has 901 million active users, while Twitter has 140 million and 10 million for Pinterest. Pinterest user count is only 7% that of Twitter, however, it sends more absolute referral traffic than Twitter. While Facebook user count is only 1%, Pinterest sends 13% of the traffic compared to Facebook.
On other social networks, people are interested on the headline but on Pinterest, the “Pin” really acts as a visual bookmark, with just one click and you’ll see the context behind the image. Moreover, Facebook and Twitter content is shared in a linear fashion where it gradually perishes once it is shared while content is discoverable for a longer time on Pinterest.
Major users of Pinterest in UK are men. A change in the profile of the network is anticipated as they advance into general availability and head out of private beta.
