Jason McDonald (http://www.jasonmcdonald.org), a top Social Media expert, is proud to announce his latest social media workshop coming up at Stanford Continuing Studies on November 8th and 9th on the topic of Personal Branding. Personal branding is the art and science of defining, creating, promoting and protecting a positive brand image on the Internet for oneself or a major public figure of a corporation or non-profit organization. Jason McDonalds latest class is a two-day intensive workshop at Stanford Universitys Continuing Studies program.

Personal branding is an issue that has become more important than ever not just for job-seekers, but for anyone with a professional or technical resume.

My upcoming course at Stanford Continuing Studies will dive into the topic of personal branding, using SEO and Social Media Marketing to help individuals improve their brand.

SEO and Personal Branding

SEO is the art and science of getting to the top of Google and Bing free listings. On page SEO refers to the use of content, keywords, and HTML tag structure to communicate to search engines the priorities of ones website. Off page SEO refers to the use of links, freshness, and social mentions to confirm to Google and Bing the importance of ones site. Heretofore, most efforts in SEO have focused on companies, non-profits, goods, and services, but in todays society ones personal brand is increasingly important. Authors, for example, attempt to project a positive brand image to sell books, while CEOs often attempt to project a positive personal brand image to confirm that they and their companies are important. Even marketing managers need to pay attention to Google / Bing searches and how those personalized searches reflect on their company and employees. Indeed, the dark side of SEO is negative SEO: personal branding can be impacted by negative attacks by competitors, hostile customers, and even false accusations. In the free-for-all of todays Internet, anyone who is public needs to pay attention to both the positive and negative aspects of SEO and personal branding. Finally, the use of social media profiles like Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn can have a positive impact on personal branding not just on search but throughout social media.

This new workshop will explore this issues in depth in two information-packed days at Stanford University.

Personal Branding Workshop at Stanford Continuing Studies, Announced by Jason McDonald

Social media marketing is one of the most effective ways to increase traffic to your website. But forget sites like Twitter, Reddit, StumbleUpon and LinkedIn. A new report reveals that Facebook and Pinterest and maybe even Google+ are your safest bets.

Content sharing and amplification platform Shareaholic released this week its quarterly social media traffic report, indicating that Facebook drives the most traffic to websites, with Pinterest being its strongest contender. Google+, though further down the totem pole, is also on the rise. However, channels like StumbleUpon, Reddit, YouTube and LinkedIn probably aren't worth your time or dime, the report revealed.

Shareaholic's report includes both quarterly and year-on-year data covering activities across more than 200,000 websites and 250 million unique visitors. Here are the key takeaways. [20 Social Media Marketing Solutions for Small Businesses]

Facebook is a traffic gold mine ...

Facebook is still king when it comes to converting social media marketing campaigns to website visits. It drives four times as much traffic as Pinterest, its closest social traffic competitor, and blows away other social networks. This is due, in part, to Facebook's ability to deliver highly personalized content that customers actually care about. Shareaholic says Facebook's share of traffic has "exploded," growing 115.63 percent since September of last year and driving 22.36 percent of overall traffic to websites.

But watch out for Pinterest

Pinterest may not be as big as Facebook or Twitter, but with an estimated 70 million users and a huge following among American women it drives far more traffic than Twitter and is creeping up on Facebook. Pinterest is now the second-largest social traffic referrer, driving 5.52 percent of total visits. That's a 50.07 percent growth since last year, blazing past Twitter, Reddit and StumbleUpon.

Twitter may not be the way to go

Twitter marketing is far from ineffective, but its share of social traffic has steadily declined. The microblogging website has referred only 1.17 percent of social traffic to websites, down 24.97 percent over the past year. Because of this, Twitter is "losing influence and clout," Shareaholic found.

And the other five are 'forgettable'
