A few weeks ago I read an interesting article by Barry Feldman about whether content curation is news or noise. He made some good points. As he notes, “In the end, the acid test is to ascertain whether or not people like what you’re doing.” 

Gina Tucker:

Don't just aggregate articles, post relevant content. Treat your page like a museum, only show the best pieces.

There are many types of content a business can create to attract, engage and convert customers: Evergreen, Repurposed, Curated and C0-Created.


Of those content types, curated content offers numerous benefits that many companies are not taking advantage of. While content curation has grown in popularity since we first started writing about it in 2010, the question remains: Does it belong in your digital marketing mix?

Gina Tucker:

Content attracts customers. Curation finds that content.

I'm a big fan of Lee Odden: when you read his blog, you feel like he's been playing the content marketing game a few moves ahead of everybody else. His views on the future of SEO in a social content world are a must-read for instance.

As I commented on this post, I believe we do support pretty much all his requirements for the perfect content curation system with one notable exception: enabling auto-publishing. We've always resisted doing that for a couple of reasons: (i) no matter how smart you filter, there's always going to be something you didn't want to publish and that will make you look awkward to your audience (ii) we believe curation is also about adding value to the content you curate through some editing, a different picture or an insight you can add. 


On another note, I think his point on amplification is critical and will become more and more important. SEO changed because of social content. But I also think that we'll see now more and more social media publishing change because of this same convergence: people who are tweeting links without also posting them on a content hub where they can be indexed, filtered and rediscovered are missing out. For example, this is a concrete workflow on how to use content curation hubs to leverage brand advocates and employees to amplify your social publishing.
