  Top 10 Marketing Nuggets:  

 

Link building is not only for brand positioning, increasing referral traffic, improving your page rank, but also for having lots of other opportunities to create relationships with big brands/websites. 5:28
In a Penguin live Era, Google is still giving a lot of importance to the anchor texts. 8:49
A link is good if it is contextual. That is the best way to spot toxic links, as well. 12:23
Great content is that type of content that answers efficiently to a query intent. 13:29
Google is not focusing on one single factor in ranking. We are putting a lot of emphasis on content and searching terms, but officially there are other 197 ranking factors. 16:38
Traffic is not a ranking factor. 21:27
Improving the CTR will give to that page a boost in rankings, but it is, usually, temporary. We shouldn’t think as traffic as a ranking factor, but rather how much the use of signals is a way for Google to discover and test something. 28:40
CTR is used in testing new pages that appear in Google’s index. 30:35
Google is a superpower but doesn’t have the computing power to create a different kind of algorithms for different countries. 35:13
Use structured data, but don’t take advantage and over-use it, and follow what Google recommends. 47:15
