2 New Levitan Guest Posts on Agency Post and Advertising Week

Peter · October 30, 2013 · Leave a Comment

I am keeping up my guest posting on authoritative advertising websites to get my thought-leadership out and build my website’s authority and page rank. Just in case you don’t know what these important SEO terms are, here are definitions:

Authority from Search Engine Land: Is your site an authority? Is it a widely recognized leader in its field, area, business or in some other way? That’s the goal. No one knows exactly how search engines calculate authority and, in fact, there are probably multiple “authority” signals. The type of links your site receives (lots of quality or ‘neighborhood’ links?) or social references (from respected accounts?) and engagement metrics (long clicks?) may all play a role in site authority.

Page Rank from Search Engine Land and Google: PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at considerably more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; for example, it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important.”Using these and other factors, Google provides its views on pages’ relative importance.

This Week’s Guest Posts

On Advertising Week Social Club — “Advertising Account Executives On The Frontline”

Intro: “I think that advertising agencies have to think hard about how they deliver value. It is often more about intangibles than the actual “work.” A great deal of our value resides in the Account Executive role and the client relationship. We know this because poor “account service” is often listed as the primary reason that a client has decided to switch agencies.”

On Agency Post — “eatbigfish Challenges The Limits.” FYI: eatbigfish is the leading “challerger brand” advertising agency.

Intro: “Aside from the agency name, most advertising, digital, branding and strategic consultancy websites are interchangeable. However, eatbigfish’s isn’t. It’s a marketing and business development juggernaut. Shouldn’t that be the point? “

Ad Agency… Should You Use Facebook?

Peter · October 29, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Should ad agencies be using Facebook in their client’s online media program? Not according to a scathing new Forrester report. Read Forrester’s open letter to Mark Zuckerberg.

A graphics fan? Here is the most damning chart…

Forrester Report Says  Don’t Dedicate A Paid Ad Budget For Facebook    Business Insider

 

And, for a distillation of the Forrester report, here is Business Insider’s take.

I’ll digest the report just like you.

Should Your Agency Be Using Facebook As A business development Tool?

I have been amazed by the amount of time and energy that advertising agencies spend on their Facebook marketing. I mean, really, do you think that Facebook marketing is actually going to drive ad agency business development efforts? When was the last time you “liked” another agency’s Facebook page? Do you think that your future clients are hanging out on your Facebook page? Really?

How Digital & Mobile Should Your Advertising Agency Be?

Peter · October 29, 2013 · Leave a Comment

And the answer? Mucho.

Check out the facts from eMarketer on adult media consumption habits. The dramatic double-digit shift from traditional to digital shouldn’t come as a surprise. But, its worth a hard look by agencies that are planning services and staff skills for the future.

(Mobile, anyone?)
