Recently, SEOs may have had difficulty relying on link building strategies that previously helped create page authority within Google's SERPs.  Google's new link evaluation process is definitely taking a toll on low-quality links and is forcing developers to find better methods of building backlinks.  Despite Google's apparent emphasis on link evaluation lately, backlinks are still an important factor in organic SEO success.  The question on the mind of many SEOs at the moment is: "How can I build high-quality, relevant links that Google won't penalize as spam?"  The answer may be more obvious than some might realize.

Worldwide electronics retailer Best Buy recently announced the appointment of Hubert Joly as the company's Chief Executive Officer.  Joly, the former CEO of Carlson, replaces interim CEO G. Mike Mikan who had occupied the position since Brian Dunn resigned in April.  Following news of Joly's hiring at Best Buy, the company's stock prices have rapidly declined, reaching a low of $18.74 on the afternoon of Monday, August 20^th.  Additionally, Best Buy founder and former chairman, Richard Schulze, has offered to purchase the company and return it to private ownership for over $8 billion.

The popularity of Twitter has skyrocketed over the last several years, but despite its undeniable success, many companies have still failed to capitalize on the platform.  Quite simply, some brands don't fully understand what Twitter has to offer.  What exactly does Twitter offer that makes it unique and useful to businesses?  Instant gratification.

By the end of 2012, many former trends and practices in SEO will be effectively rendered obsolete.  While certain tactics were never seen as "white hat" and were always frowned upon by Google, algorithm updates such as Panda and Penguin are intended to phase them out entirely.

In the past year, the search industry is changing more rapidly than it has in quite some time.  A former leader in the field, Yahoo!, is facing deficits and has recently laid off 2,000 employees.  Google has increased their emphasis on G+ and their search functionality is now just a part of a larger business model.  There is still a place for search on the Internet, but today, user expectations have risen and sites offering little more than search have lost much of their appeal.

Lately, social media has been shown to work wonders for many Internet marketing campaigns, but some SEOs still have difficulty leveraging social networks to work in their favor.  Networks such as Facebook and Twitter have been playing a larger part in optimization strategies and are often useful in driving traffic to pages.  However, even social media is not always entirely effective.  So, what exactly can marketers do when their social media campaigns fall short?

Both social media marketing and mobile E-Commerce are becoming more prolific and in the years ahead, are expected by experts to generate even more revenue and visibility for businesses that utilize them.  Although major companies such as General Motors have reduced their social media advertising spending due to lackluster results, their social marketing efforts have remained intact.  Additionally, Apple and Google have seen an increase in revenue through their mobile shopping platforms on iOS and Android.  However, the growth of mobile commerce and social media marketing are likely to become more connected over the next several years.  As social network usage and usership continues to rise on mobile devices, businesses will expend more of their marketing efforts on various social platforms.
