Social Media Week Expands To 4 Times A Year In 2015

Global organizers Crowdcentric have announced today that they will be expanding SMW with four editions of the worldwide event now scheduled for 2015.

Entering its 6th year, SMW has brought together more than 200,000 people across thousands of individually hosted events on six continents and connected millions of people online around changes in human connectivity and the impact it is having on society, culture and economies around the world.

“We are at the very beginning of a seismic, societal shift being driven by the technology around us and together we must work together to gain deeper understanding of how we can achieve more in a future where more than 6 billion people on the planet will connect to each other.” said Toby Daniels, Founder & Executive Director of Social Media Week and CEO of New York based Crowdcentric.
 “This is why we continue to build SMW, it’s why we are inundated each year with new cities wanting to join us, and it’s why we are more excited about the future of SMW than ever before.”

Last week, SMW announced its global theme for 2015, a year long examination of how technology will impact that way we live, work and in a connected world, and how new ideas, innovations and break-through technologies will lead to meaningful changes in our lives.

To deepen the engagement with their global community, the team at Social Media Week are pleased to announce the conference will be hosted four times in 2015, by adding two new editions of Social Media Week in June and November of 2015.
 Further, they will be expanding their year-round editorial and news coverage.

In 2015, Social Media Week will host conferences four times a year, on the following dates:

February 23-27
June 8-12
September 14-18
November 16-20

In 2015, SMW will host events in more than 25 cities across four editions, including:

February 23-27:

Jakarta
Hamburg
Lagos
Milan
New York

In June, September and November, SMW will host events in the following cities:

Cairo
Johannesburg
London

More cities to be announced soon!

Through this expanded evolution, Social Media Week looks forward to an amazing year in 2015.

 Through engaging, entertaining, educational and diverse content and experiences, SMW will discover how our connected world helps us all achieve more and live more productive lives.

21 Link Building Ideas That Have Nothing To Do With Guest Posting

21 Link Building Ideas That Have Nothing To Do With Guest Posting I think we’ve gotten better at not relying completely on guest posting as the only way to get links. I think. At least, I sure hope we have. Don’t get me wrong: Guest posting done correctly still works really well – note the emphasis on “done correctly.” I’m not recommending you remove it from your tactic list, but a little tactical diversity never hurt anyone. Note: I’m keeping these high level and vague on purpose in order to inspire as many starter ideas as possible. I find this to be ideal for brainstorming. It’ll be up to you to take the ones you like, add your own twist, and flesh it out to make it work for your company. (C’mon, I can’t do all the work for you!) PR Boilerplate. Press releases aren’t dead. Make sure you have an optimized boilerplate at the end of all of your news releases that talks about your company. It’s almost always included if/when your release gets picked up by another source. Executive Bios....

Google Launches Mobile Friendly Test Tool

Google Launches Mobile Friendly Test Tool The new tool is at google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly and it basically gives you a pass or fail grade. Either it tells you that you are mobile friendly or you are not mobile friendly. The messages I was able to generate include: Awesome! This page is mobile-friendly. Not mobile-friendly In each output, the yes, you are mobile friendly or no you are not, Google may or may not give more or less advice depending on the site. For example, for this site, we got an “Awesome! This page is mobile-friendly,” but it did add that “this page uses 9 resources which are blocked by robots.txt. The results and screenshot may be incorrect.” It then listed out those resources it had issues with, so you as the webmaster can decide if it is something that needs addressing. Here is a screen shot: Google Launches Mobile Friendly Test Tool I then tested a site that I know what not mobile-friendly and Google explained what the issues were including (a) text t...
