  Why I Love The Digital Marketing Community

  

  I’ve had a few rants recently… ok make that a lot. So today’s post is something totally different; a sunshine, lollypops and puppy dogs post compared to my recent ones. And why not? When writing a post about the digital marketing community it’s hard not to smile, and that’s what I want to celebrate today.

  How To Add Rel Author Markup For Author Citations

  

  The way Google displays search results is changing and has been changing for the last few years, away from traditional text to incorporate author photos and other schema information. To ride the back of that trend and make sure your search results stand out, then rel=author is a really quick, effective way of doing so.

  Linklove 2012 Speaker Preview and Predictions

  

  Linklove is back in its second year, and last year was my favourite conference out of all the ones I attended. So the pressure is on for this year to be even better than before. As with last year, we’ve put together some predictions on what we think the speakers are going to be talking about. We already know the speakers’ names and their track record, and we know the names of their presentations as well, but that’s it. So these predictions might be right or wrong, but it’s fun to try. If you are attending the conference, we hope this gives you a good preview of what to expect, and if you can’t attend, we will have a write-up on the 30th of March with all of the things that we observed on the day.
