  Why It's Never Been Better To Be A Copywriter

  

  Last year I attended the 2011 Content Strategy Forum. Being a relative newbie to SEO and digital marketing, I was eager to learn and understand from speakers and attendees all about their experiences, and in what capacity they were involved in Content Marketing. I was amazed to learn that out of all the people in attendance, few were actually from SEO agencies – in fact I would even go as far to say that out of all the people there, I could have been one of the only SEO Copywriters.

  Search Engine Market Share Statistics - January 2012

  

  A new year and a new development in the ongoing struggle for search engine market share. Last year we spoke about the turning point when Microsoft’s Bing would overtake Yahoo in terms of US market share; well latest figures reveal they have done so, meaning that 2012 has started off great for Bing, and pretty poorly for Yahoo.

  In the UK, the good news for Bing has continued as their share has jumped 0.26% in the last month. All other search engines gained a share of the UK market, with Google being the only one to actually see a drop.
