Content Remains King - Statistics Prove It

March 17,2014

Chances are, in studying or discussing internet marketing you've heard the adage that "content is king." There's a reason you keep hearing those words â€”Â they're absolutely true!

Content marketing is performed via website page content, blogs, social media posts, graphic and video posts, e-newsletters and media releases. And the statistics prove that those efforts are worth it:

92 percent of active SEO practitioners consider regular content creation a highly effective SEO tactic;

90 percent of American companies across the board regularly engage in some form of content marketing;

70 percent of marketers say content marketing has increased their brand awareness;

59 percent say it promotes sales growth;

45 percent say it has reduced their advertising costs;

94 percent more social media views are attracted by content that contains compelling images, including photographs and infographics, than content lacking images;

Using photos boosts Facebook engagement by 37 percent and media release pageviews by 14 percent.

Of course, just any old content won't work. Effective content must be well written, keyword-optimized and designed to make your reader take that next step to become your paying customer. And that takes specialized experience and training.
