User Experience for Search Engine Optimization


Originally posted on my marketing blog

"Create consumer-friendly web pages" is a common answer to the question "How to get my business indexed on Google 1st page ?"

It means that the overall content of your web pages should be optimized to :
1- attract the consumers' attention
2- keep their attention
3- encourage them to share your pages

Content optimization therefore takes into account "eye-catching design" and "relevant text", but not only ... read the presentation below !

How to Reach +250,000 Readers from a Blog Post


Article originally posted on my marketing blog.

"Content is SEO !" you must have heard and read this everywhere for a few months now.

Well it's true, but for Optimized Content only, that are part of a Content Strategy !

It's sounds complicated, but it's not. A small independent business can definitely reach more than 250,000 readers.

One solution is to get noticed !

Le Grand Balcon Hotel in Toulouse (France) got noticed by a regional newspaper that spotted a blog post I wrote for the hotel. The article was about a teaser trailer that has been recently made by a french film-maker (@GabinFueyo), within the sumptuous Saint-Exupéry Suite.

The teaser trailer was compelling and inspiring, it deserved to be optimized and shared in a strategic way.

Check out the content strategy below !

Soldsie - Sell your products through Facebook comments!

Did you know you can sell your products using only the Facebook comments? When I first read about this I thought it was a joke. You know, like "look how social medias are taking over the world" joke. But than I saw the website, it was real. And really cool.



If you have a Facebook Business page you can use Soldsie. Soldsie is an application that lets you transforme your timeline in your store, publishing products and allowing your fans to buy only with a comment.

It works like this: you insert photos and information about your product for sale in the app Soldsie, which publishes the ad on your wall as a post. Whoever wants to buy just need to write the word "Sold!" in the comments. Automatically, you receive a notification and send confirmation of the sale to the buyer. After that, the person receives a message with a link to complete the payment via Paypal. All very quick and simple.





The service is free for the first $700. After that, you pay a 3% of each sale, that includes Paypal and credit card fee, automatic invoice and inventory track.









I haven't tested yet but I must confess I felt compelled to sell my clothes in Facebook just to see how it works. Just kidding, by boyfriend's clothes.
