25 ‘Best Of’ Blog Posts on nateriggs.com in 2011

As I get ready for next year on nateriggs.com, I always look back at what posts preformed the highest with you and all of the folks that visit here and read my stuff. This year, I built the list by looking at three different metrics.  First (and always first in my opinion) I started by digging into my Google Analytics to see what content brought the best traffic. Next, I looked at data from a free PostRank plugin for WordPress and whittled the list down to everything that ranked a score of 7 or above. Finally, I looked at posts that had been optimized using the combination of SEO Scribe and SEO All in One Pack for Word press.  Using these three measure, you and I collectively came up with the list of 25 ‘Best Of’ blog posts you see below. Going one step further, I’ve tried to give them some type of order by grouping together some of the similar topic areas.  Let me know what you think and if you remember any of these, okay?  About Building Brand The Resume is Dead My Take on Ted and Brand The Fascinating Personal Brand of Tim Tebow About Dark Periods About Blogging How to Pitch for  Guest Blogging Spot On the Argument to Post Blog Content Daily What’s Your Take on the Whole Authors VS Bloggers Thing?

Facebook Advertising & The Timeline Cover Photo — A Debate to Close Out 2012

I really wasn’t planning to write this particular post, but a few comments between myself, Jason Keith and Heather Whaling has sparked my curiosity on some of the other implications of Facebook’s new(er) Timeline Layout. Yesterday, we looked at what I thought was a pretty neat application of Timeline’s cover image, and how ABC’s hit series, Modern Family, is using it to build awareness and advocacy among their Facebook fan base. Go back and dig into that short post and comments to catch up for today. You Are So Emotional! And, so am I. We humans are mere buckets of emotions wrapped up neatly in skin and clothes. Marketers and advertisers have come to understand that as a core tenant of reaching audiences with the right message that evokes the emotional triggers that lead to purchase decisions, right? Fail to uncover and spark those triggers, and the failure of your product, service , campaign or even your business as a whole lies around the next corner. Earlier this morning, my friend Anthony tweeted to me a Forbes article entitled: Why Ads Grab You More on Facebook Than on TV or the Web. The article details two related studies by Nelisen’s NeuroFocus that delve into the how we as humans neurologically engage with more premium websites like Facebook, Yahoo, and the New York Times. The summary bullets from the study are below: Compared to NeuroFocus norms, “premium websites” such as Facebook, Yahoo, and the New York Times deliver substantially more engaging experiencesthan the average website. Consumers do respond differently to premium websites oriented toward three different purposes: social networking, light news and entertainment, and hard news and commentary. These differences are represented neurologically by different levels of attention, emotional engagement, and memory activation. All of these differences appear to be related to the expectations people bring to these sites when they visit them, and these expectations, in turn, appear [...]
