Backlinks remain essential for organic search visibility, yet link-building opportunities are increasingly rare. Most tactics are either risky or ineffective. Those that work well — digital public relations, direct outreach — are often too expensive or time-consuming for small and medium-sized businesses. But one link-building method is both inexpensive and effective: being quoted in online publications as an expert. This method produces backlinks and builds topical authority. The tactic is “entity-driven” because it helps the quoted expert become an “entity,” i.e., a brand. Traditionally, the tactic involved laborious manual outreach to editors and writers offering expertise for articles. There are…

Back in 2013, Dove’s “Real Beauty Sketches” campaign changed the game for brand storytelling in advertising.  The campaign’s goal was to tap into emotional insights and address societal issues.

YouGov is a U.K.-based research and analytics firm operating in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. A recent YouGov survey (PDF) explores public opinion on tariffs across Western Europe. YouGov surveyed 9,455 adults in March 2025 in the U.K. (2,155), France (1,002), Germany (2,196), Denmark (999), Sweden (1,011), Spain (1,061), and Italy (1,031). The survey consisted of four questions, starting with, “If the U.S. were to place tariffs on E.U. goods imported to the U.S., would you support or oppose the E.U. responding by placing tariffs on American goods imported to the E.U.?” Most respondents back retaliatory tariffs,…

For most Shopify merchants, switching primary domain addresses is easy and automated. A store might have any number of reasons for changing its internet address, but it’s often a rebrand reflecting new products or focus. An example is an Idaho-based manufacturer. The direct-to-consumer company originally made fishing rod lockers, and its domain name included “locker.” But the company pivoted to produce primarily high-end trailers for fishing kayaks. Shoppers were confused when visiting a “locker” site only to find a trailer, so the rebrand made sense. SnakeRiverLocker.com rebranded to SnakeRiverManufacturing.us. Switching Shopify Domains Let’s walk through the process of switching a…
