I saw this on LinkedIn, and I should’ve guessed that it would be something that one of the instructors of the digital marketing course i took, Mark Schaefer, wrote it.
I have to say, I’m glad that he backs up–from a marketing perspective–something that content strategists and writers have also been figuring out in the last few years. It’s nice to know that the way SEO was done originally made for lesser content, and REAL content is what shines going forward.

I just got around to reading Mark’s article today. It’s fantastic. Thanks for pointing me to it.
Two thoughts:
1. If Mark was right about SEO in 2008, then I’m willing to trust him when he says that “ignition” or shared content is the key to success from today forward.
