In looking at syndicated content on Yahoo News, most of the syndicated articles do not include attribution links (each news source likely has to request or provide them), but among those that do exist there is a problem. The Yahoo attribution links do not point directly to the original article URLs.

Google, the world’s top search engine, is instrumental—if not the instrument—to the rapid flow of information. In its website, Google shares its goal: “to get to you to the answer you’re looking for faster, creating a nearly seamless connection between you and the knowledge you seek.”. Is social media management still relevant?

That growth, combined with 40% of Gen Z searching social platforms for info instead of Google, makes Reddit a unique opportunity for brands.

Google and other search engines haven’t forgotten the importance of good content, and are now penalizing websites which are writing only for keywords or contain only purchased links. Although the use of social media sites has somewhat supplemented traditional search, it hasn’t completely replaced it.
