Lauren MacEwan, strategist and owner of adult niche social media company 7Veils, gave a great presentation on the up to date best practices and some awesome strategies to take your adult company online (and without getting banned!) A couple tips: • Google+ is a great social media network for #SEO, but care needs to be taken to keep your page • Good tip: Look at what traffic you are getting from each source. If you are getting a 98% bounce rate, take a second look. Lauren’s prediction for the next big thing in Social Media is Social SEO; now that Google is indexing tweets. From Servers, to Social, and onto SEO - our sessions really provided a great foundation for any adult site online. “Modern Adult SEO - What Works & What Doesn’t In 2015” with Stewart Tongue EngineFood.com provides nearly 5 million words of SEO original text content each year and offers consulting services that include Search Engine Optimization, PR/Marketing campaigns and Strategic Business Planning.
