Most importantly, it will provide accurate results and directions to those searching for us by name.In this artic... →

Posted by SamuelScott[Estimated read time: 55 minutes] No one cares about your company or product. Unless your CEO is Steve Jobs or your product is Google Glass, very few journalists and bloggers are going to write about you directly, because they're reluctant to give free press to for-profit businesses. Few people are going to share something on social media that will only help a corporation to make more money. To gain significant media coverage and launch creative campaigns that spread through the Interne... →

Posted by rMaynes1[Estimated read time: 8 minutes] In 2014, Mediative released an eye-tracking study that looked at how Google’s Search Engine Results Page (SERP) has changed over the last decade, and how searcher behavior has adapted as a result. We learned that: Top organic results are no longer always in the top-left corner, so users look elsewhere to find them. Mobile devices have habitually conditioned searchers to scan vertically more than horizontally. Searchers are looking for the fastest path to th... →

Posted by Isla_McKetta[Estimated read time: 15 minutes] Like most of you, I get a lot of email. Here's a look at all the marketing emails I received in my personal email in one 24-hour period: That's not even counting the transactional shipping confirmations and informational blog post notifications. Or all the work-related newsletters I have sent to my address at Moz. I do not open most of this email. In fact, preparing for this blog post, I've had a really fun time shunting it off into a folder called "co... →

Posted by Sam_AnthonyToday I'm going to share how the website FunThingsToDo.io generated 22,000+ pageviews from a single blog post. The unbelievable part is that the post had zero backlinks and the domain was only three and one-half months old when this happened. (The website went live in December of 2015, while the specific article that gained this much traffic was published Feb.1, 2016.) In this post, I'm also going to share with you how FunThingsToDo gained more than 1,300 new email subscribers in just t... →

Posted by KelseyLibert[Estimated read time: 15 minutes] Is the saying “any press is good press” really true? Whether it happens as part of a carefully orchestrated PR stunt or accidentally, the potential payoffs and drawbacks when a brand dominates the news can be huge. In our latest collaboration, Fractl and Moz explored how a surge of media coverage impacted seven companies. By looking at brands that dominated headlines within the last year, we set out to answer the following questions: Does positive pres... →

Posted by rMaynes1[Estimated read time: 6 minutes]There’s a lot of talk about ad viewability at present, and with big players such as Google announcing in 2015 that it would only charge advertisers for 100% viewable impressions, it's easy to see how it’s become such a hot topic in the digital marketing world. But what exactly does it mean to be "viewable?" Does this mean people will look at your ad? We recently conducted a research study that set out to answer these questions. Conducting the eye-tracking st... →

Posted by ronell-smith[Estimated read time: 9 minutes] In 2009, I wrote a magazine story about a Japanese lure company selling high-end fishing lures in the US for $20 to $50 each. With anglers buying the lures in droves, it was only a matter of time before competitors followed suit, creating carbon copies of the best sellers, which lead to a market frenzy the industry had never seen. Months later, I interviewed the owner of the lure company everyone was copying. His comments were eye-opening and accurate. ... →

Posted by Dr-PeteFor the past couple of months, Google has been testing SERPs with 4 ads at the top of the page (previously, the top ad block had 1-3 ads), leading to a ton of speculation in the PPC community. Across the MozCast data set, 4 ads accounted for only about 1% of SERPs with top ads (which matches testing protocol, historically). Then, as of yesterday, this happened: Over the past 2 weeks, we’ve seen a gradual increase, but on the morning of February 18, the percentage of top ads blocks displayin... →

Posted by randfishCan a new friend you connect with at a conference be as strong of a ranking signal as a quality backlink? Can it be stronger? The power of indirect ranking signals is something that can often be overlooked or brushed aside in favor of what we know as hard truth from Google, but doing so is a mistake.
