Generating Content

My post was quickly followed by a great “Content is King” article by Andy Atkins-Krüger that went into great detail about the importance of high quality local language content.

Most of my articles have been inspired by trying to answer specific questions I get from readers, trying to clarify standard thinking about multinational search, or as commentary on recent posts elsewhere that weren’t 100% accurate.

Yes, I agree that local language content is the Jan Brady of global search and all the attention and ink goes to solving problems that in the big picture lend the least to customer satisfaction and conversions. So why do we do this? Why does everyone hide from the content question? In many cases it is because we can’t change the process or get funding so we simply replicate our content by whatever means we can, and spend all off our time trying to get it indexed or ranked without worrying about whether it will convert.

High levels of employee productivity and efficiency are crucial to Caja Madrid's continued success and growth. This is the main reason why Giunti Labs' learn eXact LCMS represents the most suitable solution for the organisation's training contents production and management.

The project - known as 'Aula Virtual de Caja Madrid' - aims to exploit, and profit from, Caja Madrid's as well as its partners' and collaborators' knowledge. All this is possible through a special system for learning materials development and delivery which is aligned to market rhythm and requirements.

This brand new 'Aula Virtual' supports a web-based content development method that can be used by internal and external subject matter experts as well as by learning object (LO) providers.

but I would probably say “in the nads” or something along that line. Just not a one word “Groin” answer. Groin is such a stark word just sitting there by itself. I find it somehow disturbing.

I guess the best the Indians can hope for is for him to be the batting version of Bedard — an in-season “acquisition” they already have in their pocket.
