Not every media outlet has access to the Justin Biebers of the world, but in any topical or geographic area there are newsmakers or influencers that would be a good fit. According to Social Media Editor Liz Heron the chats have been a successful experiment, although it is not the best format for every scenario.

Google PageSpeed Insights should be treated as no more than a rough proxy, especially because the scores are influenced in part by external resources outside of a publisher’s control. An interesting trend is the increasing influence of user actions and engagement signals on search engine rankings. So make sure to get it right.

As with most social sites it is a good idea for brands to have an official outpost. On Pinterest publishers can showcase their content, build brand awareness and connect with influencers, evangelists and good old fashioned regular users who like their stuff.

The usual caveats: Social media isn’t a popularity contest and reach does not equal influence, engagement or action These figures will quickly be out-of-date (they probably were before I could hit the “publish” button) But those things aside, it is interesting to take a snapshot at various times for the purposes of comparison.

The volume of tweets and when tweets occur (time of day, day of week) also have a strong influence on user retweets. The goal is to have your articles pop on news search, real-time search and social search all around the same time, all of which helps with regular Web search visibility too (immediately and longer term).
