The recent sale of former social media darling Digg for $500,000 (it was valued at $175m four years ago) is a timely reminder that in the world of social media , nothing is forever. In 2009, some bright spark thought it would be a good idea to harness the power of user-generated content and release it untamed on the Skittles homepage.

A vast majority of the survey respondents reported that outbound tactics outperformed inbound initiatives for generating qualified leads. I am wondering if it is a result of the age-old disagreement between sales and marketing on the definition of a qualified lead. Company news and industry SIC codes tied for third.

Go beyond the high-level demographics of SIC/NAICS codes and company size. Are you interested in lead generation, lead nurturing and/or building authority and brand awareness?

Six months later, very little traffic, even fewer leads and no sales > The new web site sucks, hasn’t done anything for our business. I mean dig deeper than just the demographics like company size, job title, SIC code etc. Don’t be persona non grata – take the time to really understand the persona of the target audience.
