6 Tips for Optimizing Your Content for the Latest Trends in Consumption | Content Marke... - 0 views

  • However, during the past six months, there have been some major changes in the way audiences consume information. These changes are happening simultaneously on two fronts, one in the form of content curation and the other in content shifting. While content curation is nothing new, the rise in the use of mobile devices — especially tablets, such as the iPad and Kindle Fire — is changing when, where, and how we read internet content.

  • Pew Research showed that nearly 20 percent of the U.S. population owns a tablet device, and nearly 30 percent owns an e-reader of some sort (a number that nearly doubled over the 2011 Christmas holiday season).

From there, they look to patterns showing that an item is a photo and html tags to help them identify the proper photo. This would suggest that best SEO practices — such as including “alt image” tags and designating a featured image — may also help.
