Melih Oztalay, chief executive officer of SmartFinds Marketing and partner in the webinar, will host the second half of the session. Oztalay, who has 25 years of digital marketing experience, shares his knowledge as an industry author as he discusses the importance of search engine and other factors for effective content distribution.

“Content marketing is a key strategy for organically bringing in website visitors from search engines,” Oztalay says. “It is also critical for ensuring a lower website bounce rate, which is an indicator of quality website traffic. You want larger audiences to see your brand message and have Google identify inbound keyword links to your website. That requires understanding the essentials of a content marketing strategy, including distribution.” During the webinar, Oztalay will discuss the content distribution process and share examples of what works and what doesn’t.
