How Regis McKenna Defined “Real-Time Marketing” in 1995 for Harvard Bus. Review
• “To build customer loyalty...companies need to keep their customers engaged in a continuous dialogue.”
• “Companies must keep the dialogue flowing and also maintain conversations with suppliers, distributors, and others in the marketplace.”
• “[Real-time marketing must replace] the broadcast mentality.”
• “[Real-time marketing must focus] on real-time customer satisfaction, providing the support, help, guidance, and information necessary to win customers’ loyalty.”
• “Real-time marketing requires...being willing to learn how information technology is changing both customer behavior in marketing and to think in new ways about marketing within the organization.”
• “[Real-time interaction] allows the customer and the producer to learn from each other and to respond to each other.”
• “The customer still does all the work, hunting and pecking for information. But a real-time marketer would bring the information to the customer.”

#SMCDallas#SearchSocial
Shift in Linking Measurement: Social impact on SEO
• Links are the cornerstones of natural search algorithms, and now social is a cornerstone as well
• But influence of links has shifted greatly from webmasters and technical influencers, to the average Internet user
• As a result, the social graph has taken a massive bite out of the link graph
• Examples of this include:• Tweeting (not a direct link)• Publishing via blog CMS such as
WordPress or Blogger• Rating, commenting, posting• +1s, Likes, various types of shares• Bookmarking• Etc.

• Your influence is reflected by the quality and theme of the publications you write for, and by the relative social signals for those properties

Publishers: Get a Google BadgeRemember: If you have a website, then you are a publisher
• Google Badge is a way to connect your website directly to your Google profile
• Google “strongly recommends” that webmasters and publishers make this connection.
• Google also refers to it as an “enhanced version of the +1 button”
• In effect, it creates a sort of handshake between your main web asset and your Google+ presence and verifies your web presence with Google as a publisher
• Read more about Google Badges at https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/badge/config.
