I will never — ever — attempt to write a CMW summary. Too many great, awesome, wonderful summaries all around. And so I decided to go with a summary of all recaps. The ones I will find around. Mainly for me and to complement my personal notes. Then for you as well, if you are one of those 10 people regularly reading this blog.

Day 1

7 Things I learned at CMWorld by @jeramygordon

Love this extract from the last summary:

One stat I heard over and over again this week is that 5 percent of all content drives 90 percent of conversion. This led me to ask the most obvious question: why do we even bother with the other 95 percent of content we create?

There are two schools of thought when it comes to content creations. The first says that brands should be creating content on a regular basis and hope that some of it resonates with your audience. The other, says that we should spend our time and energy perfecting and optimizing the content that converts and forget the rest.

I think there has to be a happy medium. In a recent Monday Marketing Minute video, I discussed the importance of publishing frequency. From a purely SEO standpoint, it appears that frequency is king. But from a conversion standpoint, quality beats quantity every time.
