Reputation Management in 2014
Times have changed significantly over the last year with regard to online marketing, particularly SEO and social media. As many know, SEO has shifted in recent years from being very keyword oriented and links based to a more content based medium. Many SEO companies sold packages based on ranking keywords, usually by building low quality links in a short space of time. These methods are well and truly gone, with the advent of changes to Google’s algorithms – namely Panda and Penguin, which focused on ranking websites with good quality content, meaningful social presence among many other things.
