Content in the form of videos, pictures, and technology algorithms that help a user find an answer (such as White Pages) are just as valuable drivers of traffic as text content is. That might seem a bit surprising, considering that we are constantly being told to blog more, write more, build content, refresh content, promote your content,... [...]

Jeffrey Vocell says, “This past spring, the web was abuzz as Google released the much-feared algorithm update that severely punished websites that were not optimized for mobile.

Many marketers have asked the HubSpot team just how worried they should be, so we sifted through the post-apocalyptic dust to review the damage for ourselves. The Mobilegeddon Effect After an analysis of more than 15,000 of our... [...]
