Germany – Holland on Social Media
As a Dutchman this is not an easy post to make. Last week Holland lost (big time) to Germany at the Euro 2012 Football Champhionships. Now that is not something you as a Dutchman want to be reminded off too much. But with Social Media this has become relatively impossible.

The Germans (they won so it makes sense) decided to put all the Social Media activity in an infographic. That brings some interesting data to light.

Google Ranking Factors 2012 in One Overview
There are many many rankingfactors. Some more important than others, some more focussed on than others. It would be nice if you just had a checklist: do this and do that and you will rank.

To get a grip on which factors are important this infographic by Martin Missfeldt is a very handy one, because it clusters rankingfactors (not all of them, but quite a few) in major topics: Social, Backlinks, Author/Brand and On page. A very nice overview. (more…)
