Community Discussion - Are data AND storytelling the missing ingredients for successful content marketing efforts?
Data is the cinnamon of content marketing. It enhances your dish with a nice cinnamon flavor, but you probably don't want a big heaping spoonful of uncut cinnamon or the next thing you know you've launched a viral video meme. Or something like that. A story without data maybe is a nice story, but it's also toothless. The internet is littered with baseless opinions and we don't really need more of that. You can make an opinion insightful, however, when you back it up with facts, sources, numbers. Prove a product works laying out a success by the numbers. I want to see stories that know when to lean into the data, the kind of story that chews your face off and then drops the mic. Make an assertion, express an opinion, back it up with facts, but never forget that the numbers are there to support the story, and not the other way around. Cinnamon... face chewing... it must getting close to lunch time.

Do I need to do a 301, as well as adding re-write rules on Apache
Eric's answer was perfect. After launch, I also do a site:nameofdomain.com and click on a random sampling of links to make sure the rules work perfectl (this is more useful if the page name changes). Good luck!

Duplicate Page Titles
Hi Emily! I hope you don't mind, but I glanced over the crawl report in your Moz Pro campaign to get a better sense of this (we admins get to cheat). I'm seeing the duplicate title warning, but I think you may be mistaken as to which groups of URLs are being flagged. Are you comfortable if I share the URLs here, or would you like me to PM you?

What is considered a keyword score that is too competitive?
Looking at domain authority is like looking at the size of the dog in the fight instead of the size of the fight in the dog. If you can beat their content for that keyword and know how to promote it then you should attack without fear.

Adding links to FB, Googleplus, pininterest, Twitter
Matt Cutts has said 'Facebook and Twitter posts are treated like any other web pages for search'. As of now Google does not use social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter followers for search ranking. However on the other hand if you are getting a lot of related question around your products it could be an idea to build content around some of those re-occuring questions and add it to your website in a FAQ style. Then you could engage with people on your social platforms and refer them back to your site.

72KB CSS code directly in the page header (not in external CSS file). Done for faster "above the fold" loading. Any problem with this?
thanks Kristen. Good article. We will try to identify now what kind of CSS is absolutely necessary to put inline. I think the google apache module should help us to idntify this.

.com or .co.uk
You need to use domain extension most of your clients familiar with. Yes, .com is international and most recognized, but I'd say it only for global brands or sites with no geo targeting or clients in one specific country. In your case, the UK buyers will be more likely to click and visit you, because they all know about .co.uk and more confident to click on "local" sites (more trust). I have a similar situation with two e-commerce sites in France and Russia where same domain name .com redirects to .ru and .fr.

Addthis - Bloated + Calls other sites?
Hi We used Addthis for a while as well, but had the same issue. At times it really slowed our page load. We wound up doing what others have suggested, manually coding in the share links.As for recommended products, we now use an extension which does a great job. Ken
