Digital Merchant Blog Made Top Five ‘Digital Marketing’ Google List

Interestingly, digital marketing is an aspect of advertising that has seized the attention of both social media managers and digital marketers in recent years, because of the tremendous impact and high ROI. Much have been said and written about digital marketing, that presently, both the social media space and Internet generally, have all kinds of information, as some experts would say are noise, on the subject.

There are well over 155 million search results on the term ‘digital marketing,’ which is the primary and most important keyword in the industry today, and the top five results represent the most visited pages with the search term ‘digital marketing’ for the period in question. Google search result in the third quarter of August 2017 on the term digital marketing produced the following as the top five websites:

1.   Wikipedia.com
2.   Smartinsight.com
3.   Hubspot.com
4.   Marketo.com
5.   Digitalmerchant.blogspot.com

These websites, which currently occupy the top positions on the list, represent the most viewed pages about digital marketing resources on Google, of which Wikipedia is leading the pack with the article titled, ‘Digital Marketing,’ in first place; followed in second place by Smartinsight’s ’10 Reasons you Need a Digital Marketing Strategy in 2017.’ Hubspot is in third position with the article titled, ‘What is Digital Marketing? While in fourth and fifth places are Marketo and Digitalmerchant with articles titled ‘What is Digital Marketing? Overview & Resources’ and ‘2017 Q2 Review of the Digital Marketing Industry’ respectively.

Impact on the Digital Marketing Industry

Of all these, what is of particularly importance is the emergence of Digital Merchant in the equation, considering its modest beginning as a new and free blogger site that only recently started as a past time in February 2, 2017, with the very first article titled ‘Why Affiliate Marketing remains the Backbone of Ecommerce?’ As at last count, DigitalMerchant Blog has published 57 articles, at least two every week, some of which recorded significant impact in the digital marketing and software industries, as well as the Internet generally.

Another article of note that has consistently made the top seven digital marketing list in the past week is, ‘20 Amazing Digital Marketing Facts.’ Some of the articles were quite critical; especially the article titled ‘Absence of Video Streaming Feature Affects LinkedIn Rating’ that led the B2B social media giant, LinkedIn to immediately introduced video streaming on its platform, in what it termed ‘Native videos: Lights, camera, action’ which was announced in its latest Product News Roundup, published July 26, 2017.

The company, in its article titled ‘Latest Features on LinkedIn’ announced that, soon its users would be able to record and post videos directly from the LinkedIn app. We should be looking forward to some new tools, which they will add to the app, while also reverting some features that were previously, removed during the introduction of the new Desktop User Interface (UI).

Long before the news release announcing these new features, I had seen a few of the old features reintroduced quietly, which suggests that they are reacting to my article published in March 21, 2017, barely four months before the proposed new features, titled, ‘LinkedIn New Desktop UI Impact Performance on Social Media.’
