In August our two most significant alerts were about changes to the Facebook and Google algorithm - check these out in the sections on search and social media marketing below.
Now we’re into September we’re into the final build-up to our Digital Impact conference which is in central London on the 17th September.
We’re looking forward to meeting members at the event where we'll show how to make a bigger impact with your digital marketing with in-depth case studies and workshops covering all the digital marketing techniques we cover in our monthly updates, that’s Digital Transformation, SEO, AdWords, Content, Social and Email marketing plus improving desktop and mobile experiences using CRO and analytics.
The latest changes to the Facebook algorithm - A Facebook notification on changes to how you share photos, clickbait and likegating on Facebook
Twitter Analytics now free to all users - Twitter Analytics became free in the last week of August
Google ends Authorship functionality - Google’s use of “rel=author” markup to stop but Google+ posts to continue featuring in search results
