This week can some interesting information. I had always known that people shared links and helped each other out or tried to get traffic from other people that have gained popularity, but I didn' t ever really know how they did that. I liked the advice of being sincere. I know that these are popular practices and that they work, but I always try to ask myself if I like the experience when I am the consumer not the business person. There are certain things that marketers do that I hate. I think we should be more responsible as business owners not to irritate our customers. I have learned these principles in other business classes. I don't think that goes away simply because the internet is such an anonymous platform.
It was interesting to see all the data that you can get from Google Analytics. What a powerful tool to help the marketing efforts of your ads, links, and content. It all takes time and money after all.
