SEO Copywriting roundup: Hottest posts week of Jan. 28, 2014

I love hojusaram’s description of this image:
“This is taken at Namsan Tower, where young couples lock padlocks together to show their love. While looking through these ‘couple locks’ I was laughing at some that had three padlocks instead of the more usual two, when I saw this bunch.
I guess relationships are complicated. Or maybe someone’s just been busy…”

At first, we shared each other’s social posts.

Then we had a conversation.

Before long, we were writing guest posts for each other.

We became friends by helping each other out online.

Does this sound familiar? Welcome to relationship marketing!

This week’s roundup is chock full of posts about guest blogging, relationship marketing and the importance of social media in content marketing campaigns.
