Thanks Lori, it's great when our own observations are validated by others I think the definition of SEO has evolved to include many social media and content marketing tactics, so future polls that distinguish specifics like this may become more challenging to interpret in the future.

I'm so glad to see SEO at the top of the Leaderboard! The emphasis on content marketing is key – and I like that it's regarded as a separate entity than SEO. You can apply as many online marketing tactics as you want for traffic, but if you can't convert that traffic from the content on your site, you're wasting your time. From my experience, it can be your competitive advantage, even when you're ranked at no.3 for an organic search result.

Not contents which are duplicate, only unique contents which are fresh, as for Social Media, building relationships actually and real networking always works

Hi Lee,
As they say content is king. I will continue with providing content through articles, video etc.
My main aim for the future is to use twitter, not for selling but building relationships.

Nice Stats, but I think that the future, and very near will be video marketing (#1) … Offcourse SEO and whats important for one site, but VIDEO as content will rock…

Lee…Thanks

Interesting numbers…As someone who is dealing with a great many business decision makers, I still would not throw “cold calling” out the window for 2011.

Business people “are” looking for new ideas; but, most of them still don't fully appreciate the benefits of various digital marketing tactics. Non-digital marketing communication is still critical. I believe we need to see where the economy is heading around the end of October and the mood of people putting together their 2011 Marketing Budgets. Thanks again…

Are Search Engine Optimization, Social Networking and Blogging your top digital marketing tactics for 2011?

SEO as well as Social Networking is the thing that I personally am working on getting up and running.

If not, what areas will you emphasize next year?

Local sales and marketing teams, to go on top as the SEO and Social Networking.

That's an interesting point Tom, but Content Marketing can be executed independent of SEO or Social Media efforts. Of course, everything published is technically content, but creating content and content marketing are different things.

Content marketing is about a content strategy that plans, creates and promotes content to address specific customer needs and influence them to buy. Discovery of that content can occur through search, advertising, social media, email or word of mouth. See wikipedia for another definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_marketing

Many of the tactics in this list intersect with each other. I agree that we need to refine and simplify it.

Look at the Junta42 or Content Marketing Institute sites for specifics on how companies are implementing content marketing as a standalone tactic.

Nice results,
definitely agree with social media & seo being top results,
and our trend prediction is more and more companies actually incorporating seo into their social media efforts, which can by incredibly successful when careful not to be obnoxious about it.
thanks for posting!

I'm not sure “Content Marketing” should be viewed as a separate tactic. Isn't SEO, video marketing, email marketing, etc. content marketing?
