Posted by EricaMcGillivrayOn November 20, 2015, Twitter took away share counts on their buttons and from their accessible free metrics. Site owners lost an easy signal of popularity of their posts. Those of us in the web metrics business scrambled to either remove, change, or find alternatives for the data to serve to our customers. And all those share count buttons, on sites across the Web, started looking a tad ugly: Yep, this is a screenshot from our own site. Why did Twitter take away this data?When ask... →

What is social proof and how can you use it effectively?A... →

Posted by SuzzicksMost people in the digital community have heard of Facebook’s 2G Tuesdays. They were established to remind users that much of the world still accesses the Internet on slow 2G connections, rather than 3G, 4G, LTE or WiFi. For an online marketer in the developed world, it's easy to forget about slow connections, but Facebook is particularly sensitive to them. A very high portion of their traffic is mobile, and a large portion of their audience uses their mobile device as their primary access... →

Posted by bridget.randolphEveryone has an opinion about Tinder. Whether you’re happily single, actively seeking a partner, or in a committed relationship, something about the concept of "swiping" yes or no on strangers’ pictures seems to guarantee strong opinions. There are endless articles about what Tinder (and similar apps) say aboutmodern dating, love in the 21st century, and, more broadly, millennial shallowness. And, as someone who can’t resist twisting a good dinner party topic into a marketing blog ... →

Posted by AsherElranThere are many different dos and don’ts of Google AdWords all over the Internet. When writing this article, I felt it was safe to call many of the methods I’m sharing in it unconventional.In an attempt to resurrect plummeting numbers, and squeeze the last bit of juice from an already producing campaign, I’ve experimented and tested PPC tactics that most users won’t try, either due to fear or because someone says so. When I take on a client for PPC, I want to help them gain a healthy amou... →

Posted by adamf2015 was very much a rebuilding year for Moz Pro. We entered last year with some core infrastructure problems, and so worked heavily on less visible projects to make our SEO software faster, more reliable, and more polished. Still, on top of everything, we were able to add a host of new features and make some major design improvements. The great news for 2016? A lot of that core infrastructure work is done or near completion. With this foundation in place, we’re going to seriously level up ke... →

Posted by annboylesAs many of you — particularly our friends in Iowa and New Hampshire — are keenly aware, the height of the US presidential election season is upon us. In recent years, social media has had an increasingly profound impact on campaigns and election conversations, with candidates and their supporters (and detractors) taking to Twitter in droves. Here at Moz, we’re seizing the opportunity to examine the Twitter accounts of candidates seeking the highest office in the US to see what insights we... →

Posted by NickRebuildNationTo help a dental client with 11 locations better compete in multiple locales, we created “City Service Pages” (CSPs) for two of their locations. Completely distinct from the existing service pages, these CSPs are engineered to drive niche traffic from local users by utilizing more specific long-tail searches. Instead of simply listing the services offered, as is often done on location-based landing pages, we were able to optimize individual landing pages based on their targeted co... →

Posted by MiriamEllis St. Valentine’s Day is on the way, and I’ve been thinking about love and loyalty as they apply in the local business world. It’s been estimated that it costs 7x more to acquire a customer than to retain one; in my city, most of the major chains offer some type of traditional customer loyalty program. Most rely on a points-based system or an initial sign-up investment to receive benefits, but I wondered about Main Street. I picked 15 locally owned businesses at random to see if they had... →

Posted by willcritchlowThe FTC recently published their updated rules (and more accessible “guidance”) on what constitutes a “misleading” native advert [PDF]. I’ve read them. I only fell asleep twice. Then, near the end, a couple of bombshells. But first, the background. Native ads and the FTCFor those who haven’t been following the trends closely, native advertising is a form of digital advertising whereby adverts are included “in-stream,” interspersed with regular editorial content. On social platforms, t... →

Posted by JayLearyWhen we launched Moz Content at the end of November, we limited the subscription to a single tier. At the time we wanted to get the product out in the wild and highlight the importance of content auditing, competitive research, and data-driven content strategy. To all of those early adopters who signed up as Strategists over the last few months, a big thanks. Since then, we’ve made a long list of improvements to both Audit performance/stability and the size of our Content Search index. Alo... →
