Work  smarter,  not  harder…  

How  does  OkCupid  compete  with  Match.com’s  huge  paid  media  budgets?  

@kevgibbo    

It  doesn’t…  they  focus  on  great  content  instead

This  gets  them  short-­‐term  success…  

@kevgibbo    

It  strengthens  their  online  reputa6on…  

@kevgibbo    

And  it  builds  them  into  an  organic  posi6on  where  they  can  seriously  compete…

And  not  just  on  long-­‐tail  terms!  

@kevgibbo    

It  even  makes  them  more  defensible  to  the  odd  sitewide  footer  link!

3  Takeaway  Tips  

1)  Focus  on  quality,  not  quan1ty  1  great  piece  of  content  is  much  be^er  than  4-­‐5  good  posts
