comment or social mention

The Mobilegeddon Update
Only impacts MOBILE searches from a
mobile device.
Will hurt all mobile traffic to your site if you
are NOT responsive or mobile friendly
Google will issue a SLOW tag to your
search listing and if you do not fix it, they
WILL de-index you for MOBILE SEARCH.
Mobile search has overtaken desktop
search globally.
Mobile search results now show latest
Tweets
Google Knowledge Graph & Twitter
Performing a search on Google
from a mobile now displays
relevant tweets from Twitter.
This integration adds a new real-
time element to Google search
results which is great for content
producers and brands to boost
their reach
Desktop rollout is planned for
South Africa later this year, so be prepared
The new integration will display
actual tweets, including photos
contained in them. Searchers
can also click on the tweets to
view them within Twitter.
Why? Twitter wants to get its
content seen by more people in
an effort to increase the number
of its users.

The EdgeRank 2015 Update
Posts that solely push people to buy a product or install an app
Click baiting: You won't believe what happened next!?
Posts that push people to enter promotions ( Like & Share ) and sweepstakes with no real context
Posts that reuse the exact same content from ads / websites
Posts that push people to leave the Facebook environment
Call to action button to replace all click baiting
Improved experience for people who do not have a lot of content available to see (few friends).
They can now see multiple posts from people they interact with
This one ensures that the content that is posted by the friends that you interact with will be higher in the News Feed so that you are less likely to miss it.
Only if you INTERACT with the pages that you like will you see their content.
This one is for the interactions that your friends have with a post. Many people have complained about seeing stories about their friends liking or commenting on a post so those stories will be placed lower in the News Feed or not at all.
So this one ensures that they only see the post once
The News Feed Update

The gist of it is…
All PVT pages acting as Brand pages will be penalized in the following ways:
Only 10% of all “over promotional” posts will be seen by your audience.
Maximum 2 – 5 promo posts per week.
Audience can turn off all notifications from brand pages without the page ever knowing
Without a Business Manager Page, and Google Analytics, tracking and reporting will be difficult to prove
BUT you now have a call to action button!

Where do they go before they come
here? Where do they go after here?

Twitter updates its algorithm…
Impressions
Measures the amount
of times a tweet was
seen by any user.
This metric exposes the
reach of any Twitter
campaign.
Engagement
Measures the total
number of times a user
has interacted with a
tweet (clicking
hashtags, links,
username, retweets,
replies, favorites, etc.).
Engagement Rate
Engagement Rate is
that number
(engagement) divided
by the total number of
impressions.
