I don’t intend to make this article clickbait-y, so here’s the answer right away: no, online clickbait headlines are not dead, but they’re a dying breed.
Just a decade or so ago, a low-quality, sensationalistic content site would have had an excellent chance to captivate audiences.
At the time, many still got titillated by a title like “This couple was getting married, but what happened next will shock you.”
You wanted to be shocked.
I wanted to be shocked.
We were wide-eyed, naïve, and — after clicking — also underwhelmed.
This quick-read guide will give an insight into how clickbait has evolved and how you, a marketer, can make the most of the current momentum.
Content Marketing Analytics, Without the Fluff
Figuring out if your content marketing works is really tough.
Even though we have better analytics tools each year, it’s still hard to know exactly how our content leads to sales.
People use multiple devices, private browsing, and often don’t even click through to a website if they’re using LLMs or reading an AI overview served by Google.
All of this makes it hard to track what actually works.
But marketers have learned something important along the way: don’t try to measure everything.
It’s more helpful to track a few key numbers that give you useful insights.
This guide will show you how to focus on the most important content marketing metrics so you can improve without getting overwhelmed.
Billions of Logins for Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram, and More Found Exposed Online
When organizations, good or bad, start hoarding collections of login credentials the numbers quickly add up.
Take the 184 million logins for social media accounts we reported about recently.
Now try to imagine 16 billion!
Researchers at Cybernews have discovered 30 exposed datasets containing from several millions to over 3.5 billion records each.
In total, the researchers uncovered an unimaginable 16 billion records.
