Research into infographics can be used to create multiple blog posts, and vice versa

Infographics can be “marketed” around the Internet. An infographic we created and posted to Flickr and other forums became one of the top results for “Phamera” just as Samsung was launching a new Android point‐and‐shoot camera.

Once again:• Blogs provide the engine that powers your email strategy• Blogs and engaging online content make it “quick and easy” to send out

your time is valuable

Volume of “Visits” might be important, but also look at behavior.Jobbank.gc.ca, while #4, had the lowest “bounce rate”, the highest number of pages

These metrics not only measure engagement and behavior, but also are “signals” Google uses to determine Search ranking.
