/cont/ - Content Strategy

in 2016, google rolled out mobile-first indexing which means that if a page performs well on '''mobile, its more likely to rank higher in search results now and for years after ⚡

if youre focusing solely or even primarily on desktop metrics like time-on-page (average was around 4.29 minutes ), bounce rate, etc, your strategy might be missing out bigtime

for a well-rounded approach today:
- '''mobile-first indexing is key
- focus more heavily on mobile-specific engagement and experience
- avg session length for desktop users: ~3 min
vs. 4+ mins closer to 2 minutes or less per visit now ☀

by prioritizing speed, usability & relevance across devices (especially smartphones), you can significantly boost your ranking potential ⭐

edit: should clarify this is just what worked for me

ive been playing around with using more interactive content like quizzes and polls in our strategy sessions - it really keeps everyone engaged! trying to mix it up a bit from just traditional presentations can work wonders for keeping things lively

tried, but wasnt sure if would get into the spirit of thing. turns out, they loved 'em - especially when we made them part of our content audit process ly fun!

edit: might be overthinking this definitely overthinking this

email marketing isn't going away anytime soon, but it's definitely evolving fast ⚡ according to a recent report by forrester research 35% of marketers plan significant investments in automation tools this year alone besides email, they're diversifying into chatbots and social media ads. the key is finding that mix where personalization meets scale

actually wait, lemme think about this more

email open rates have been steadily declining, w/ a 20% drop in engagement over the past five years alone stats say. content marketing strategies that focus on social media and personalized experiences are seeing growth - up to 45x more engaged users compared to email. consider shifting your strategy towards these channels for better results

content personalization: its not just a buzzword, but an essential part of modern content strategies

personalizing user experiences using ai-driven approaches can significantly boost engagement and conversions ⚡ however, dont neglect data privacy laws like gdpr or ccpa. ensure you have robust consent mechanisms in place before diving into personalization projects ✔️

update: just tested this and it actually works

i totally get where you're coming from with trying to nail down that content working definition it's a bit of an art and science combo, amirite? i mean defining what exactly counts as 'content' can be tricky but thinking about your goals first helps. are ya aiming at SEO optimization or building community engagement through stories & posts? figuring out the purpose will make crafting that definition much easier!

content is king, but context matters a lot ⚡

web 3 content strategy is all abt decentralization and user control, so rethink ur approach if u rely on traditional centralized platforms for distribution

focus more on blockchain-based ecosystems like ipfs ⚒️ or eos where creators can own their data & monetize directly with smart contracts

dont skimp on explainers - most ppl still dont get the nuances of crypto, nfts etc. use interactive tools [[1](#)] and gamification to make complex concepts accessible

implement ai for personalization but be transparent abt data usage & privacy policies ⚠️ users will notice if u try sneaking in tracking

finally - test extensively with actual web3 wallets like metamask b4 going all-in. early adoption means faster learning curve and higher engagement ✅

focus on creating value-first content that aligns w/ user intent, and watch ai-driven searches reward you ⚡

seo 2019 felt like a distant memory now that ai is reallyy stepping up its game

i'm seeing some crazy new features on google and bing - voice search optimization, image recognition in content. it's all about making your site as friendly for bots to digest

for me personally? i've been diving deep into alt tags & schema markup. makes a huge difference when ai crawls my pages!

anyone else finding the shift towards more semantic-rich html super helpful? totally worth it

in 2019, i was all in on building a content moat around our brand's expertise with esoteric marketing tactics only we knew how to use effectively . it felt like having an unbreakable fortress against competitors. but as the market evolved and more tools became democratized (like instabug for bug reporting), people started finding ways through that wall.

then came 2021, when a competitor launched something similar with just one tweak - they made their content super accessible via ai-generated summaries . poof! my moat turned into quicksand. suddenly everyone was on equal footing because context mattered more than exclusivity now: understanding the user's intent and providing value in real-time became king.

learned a big lesson then, shifted focus to creating contextual experiences that adapt based not just what users ask for but also why they're asking - it's like reading their minds before they do. switched from trying so hard on SEO keywords alone (which was my initial moat strategy) and instead focused more heavily on user experience design . turns out, context is the new competitive advantage in content. aha, i realized that's why those ai tools work - because their algorithms understand not just what words are used but also how they fit into a larger picture. now my team focuses less about building an impenetrable wall and more on creating flexible experiences where we can quickly adapt to user needs in context.

if you're still thinking of content moats, maybe rethink it; focus instead on being the most relevant at any moment for your users based not just what they say but why.

inb4 someone says just use wordpress

css animations can be tricky, especially when trying to make them look smooth on mobile devices ⚡ anyone have a go-to method for testing scroll effects across different screen sizes and orientations?
