From Marketing Land:

  • YouTube Comments Soon To Get The Google+ Treatment

    Youtube announced today a new commenting platform “powered” by Google+, with video comments soon to be sorted by relevancy versus how recently a comment was posted.

  • Confidence Crisis: 40 Percent Don’t Trust Online Reviews

    Over the course of the past year, there have been a number of online review scandals. Most recently, there was a New York regulatory crackdown on fake reviews being generated by “reputation management” firms. It’s unclear whether the publicity surrounding any of these events has eroded consumer confidence in online reviews and their authenticity. A recent […]

    Kenshoo, Marin and Adobe: watch out, AdStage has you in its sights.

  • Study: Nearly Half Of Mobile Users Will Share Location For Relevant Offers

    Text-based mobile messaging has effectively become the “red-headed stepchild” of mobile marketing. Once the only mobile marketing that worked on all devices, it has lost favor over the past several years with the mass adoption of smartphones and the rise of mobile display. Under specific circumstances, however, SMS can be very effective as a mobile loyalty […]

  • Guest Blogging: A Beginner’s Guide

    While guest posting may seem like a simple concept in theory (All I have to do is write a little something and get someone to post it — easy!), it really isn’t in practice. There are more steps to it than you might think. And even if what you’re writing is awesome, readable and informative, […]
