YouTube To Release Schedule Channels

Over the past several months YouTube has been purchasing content and hiring production studios to make more content. Supposedly, this new content is YouTube’s way to speed up cord cutting where people increasingly turn online for video content instead of the television. About a dozen channels are said to be in the coming release. Some of these channels already exist such as comedy, drama, food, travel and news. Some new channels will be created.

Google +1 Button To Invade banner Ads

Google announced on Tuesday that the +1 button will begin appearing inside banner ads. If a user wishes to share the ad, unlikely as that seems, then he will be able to +1 the ad and share it with friends. This is exciting for digital marketing agencies because now there is an easy way for friends to digitally recommend ads. The benefit is not only the recommendations but also the ability to share and to accumulate those recommendations so that someone outside the social network of the amused viewer can find it.

Linkedin Reaches Out to Students

LinkedIn is currently seen as a network for established professionals. While this perception allows LinkedIn to have targeted advertising it also limits its user base as students are chilled from signing up for the service. LinkedIn is now reaching out to students (like wonderful Michigan State University students) by opening up fields within its profile section.

How will Google Plus Impact SEO

SEO and SEM are in play when you think of Google+ and how it could impact search results for users. When people +1 an item on Google now, it can show up in your Google+ stream. It can also show up to your friends as a site that you like. What does it all mean?

Will the +1 metric really impact search rankings, or will it simply impact your network? How will Facebook Likes impact search ranking, and will Google even know if you Like a Facebook page since they don't have a close relationship with them?
