There was a time when you could probably allow your website copy and content strategy to remain fairly static. That was before the dawn of mobile technology and the evolution of consumer thinking and demands. The consumer today doesn’t just want to read your home or landing page. They want content that moves with the latest trends, that they can access on the go, on the fly, and from any device that is connected to the Internet.

Think about the last book you read. It may have been a gripping crime thriller, a book full of juicy reference material or perhaps just a storybook you read to your child. The one thing most books and stories have in common is that they all contain multiple layers to some extent. A fairy story will have good guys, bad guys and a happy ending. A crime thriller will have intrigue, gritty storylines and a twist in the tale.

Canadian Thanksgiving, like all good things, came and went by too soon. It’s a time for being thankful for what we have and celebrating with our families.

When you invest a lot of time and effort into content marketing, it can be frustrating to find that it isn’t doing anything for you. It’s not bringing in more qualified traffic, not engaging the visitors who come to your site and it’s certainly not converting. So what could be going wrong?

There you are, optimizing your site for the top keyword terms in your niche. Good work. Now along comes Google to state that over 20% of all searches are terms that have never been searched upon before.

The importance of interesting, high quality content and effective marketing has become of paramount importance now to get good rankings on the search engines. However, traffic to your website is no good unless the visitor becomes a conversion – enquiring about your products and services, joining your mailing list, or better still, making a purchase.

It can be very disheartening when your content fails to resonate with your target audience, but it doesn’t always mean you are using poor quality content.  Did you ever consider that you might have read your target audience wrong?  Very often, content fails because it is focused on the wrong group of people.  Mapping out the personas of your potential customers can help you to nail your content first time and ensure it gets out to the audience that matters.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

Revitalize, Refine, Repurpose

The Pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. About 80% of your best results will come from 20% of your efforts. When you apply that to a creative endeavour like content marketing, you might be undervaluing some of your content creative efforts. It can be expensive to create content, from scheduling videographers, photographers, models, or even having quality copywriters write a blog post. Chances are that you have some valuable content that can be recycled or repurposed with a little elbow grease.
