A little over a year ago, I shared a case study on Search Engine Watch of a client’s website that had fewer than 100 pages of content indexed when we started working with them. Case studies? If you were to check the number of pages indexed in Yahoo today, you would see that they have over 3,600 pages indexed.

You’re probably familiar with the story of Green Eggs and Ham, but just in case, it’s the story of one (unnamed) character trying earnestly to get the character Sam to try green eggs and ham. I feel like the other guy in the story- will you try social media if I give you some great case studies? And that’s just it.

There are thousands of conferences every year, and thousands of opportunities for attendees, exhibitors, speakers and conference planners to benefit from these events. However, most of these chances are lost in the chaos of an event and the post-conference wrap-up. Great partnerships can be built at conferences.

Then, if your site has indeed dropped in ranking, Montti says you should study sites that are winning your desired searches to see if you can find any gaps between ranking factors. This is because Google will often release a "refresh" to a core update to fix any false positive search results that crop up during the aftermath.

I’ve asserted that B2B social media tactics vary from B2C, in that they are typically rooted in consumer education and thought leadership, and thus require deeper layers of interaction. The differences may then lie in use cases and expectations. The variation may come in how social media is used, not which social media are used.

Also, while I think it’s somewhat less likely that a first-time visitor will tweet or Digg or Stumble your work (I’d love to see a study on that), you should make that process as easy as possible as well.
