Best Internet Marketing Posts of 2010

January 5, 2011

Want more than what you see here? Get the monthly newsletter, new for 2011.

As many of you know, I have an annual tradition of giving back to the community on my birthday, which is why this year is no different. Of course, then, today is my birthday, & it’s a big one. Today, I’m 30.

I started this “best posts” idea 5 years ago & it’s grown huge. 2010 by far was the biggest year yet in the Internet Marketing realm. That’s why this is the biggest post I’ve ever written (with over 10,000 words). In honor of my 30th birthday, I have 300 posts.

Here’s how I do it: I read & review hundreds — thousands — of articles yearly, on all Internet Marketing topics from SEO to social media to general entrepreneurship (new for 2010!), also gathering intelligence via their rankings on top social sites & by stumbling upon new items in my feed reader. Since I can’t read everything written by the Internet Marketing community, I ask my Twitter & Facebook followers for their own recommendations. Based on specific criteria, normally actionable takeaways & evergreen content, I review the content & post it here to share with Techipedia readers & new visitors. The content is typically introductory but occasionally more intermediate/advanced, so there’s a mix that should work for everyone.

  1. MySpace (13% of visits, a 258% increase from 2005)
  2. facebook.com (11.5%, a 41% increase from 2005)
  3. youtube.com (4.5%, with no data from 2005 recorded)
  4. collegehumor.com (3.7%, a 61% decrease from 2005)
  5. Google.com (3.7%, a 13% decrease from 2005)

That puts Google, Inc. in two of the top ten spots, making any community-oriented website envious of the search engine that also seems to be faring quite well in social networking too.

Does it come as any surprise that Google is the employer of choice by college students? According to another recent survey on CollegeGrad.com, almost half — 49% — of students would rather work at Google than Microsoft (29%) or Yahoo (12%).

Could they score a job? Maybe, if Google really is getting easier on hiring.

So — why do college students want to work at Google?Google Ping-Pong
