The SEO industry has been shaken up quite a bit as of lately with the Panda/Penguin updates, leaving scores of low quality sites now sitting at the bottom of the heap. Good riddance I say, as even good internet marketers who were able to effectively use Google search operators had trouble finding the information they were after while sorting through pages and pages of useless spammy results. Now imagine how normal users felt. Then came the updates of Panda, Penguin, EMD, Over-Optimization, etc., and overnight many small businesses and large brands began to feel the wrath of the 800lb Google gorilla tightening its stranglehold on low quality content and linkbuilding.

Now that everyone has calmed down from the “sky is falling” prophecies of some of the largest algorithm updates and nailed down a basic content marketing strategy, let’s take a look at the trends pushing the industry forward.

Over the past several months, our team here at Vertical Measures has partnered with SEOMoz to perform some extensive research using their vast data resources to determine exactly what content performs best with the search engines. We had no idea what to expect, or if we would discover any conclusive correlations, but we think you will find these results rather interesting. We broke the news last week on SEOMoz and are now posting that video below. I want to thank Rand for allowing me the honor of presenting these findings via Whiteboard Friday. Watch the video (or read the transcript) below as I reveal the results. A full whitepaper, detailing all of the research and our recommendations will soon follow.
