Links are still a very good factor with search engines as part of their algorithm. According to Search Engine Land, the search engine Bing Webmaster Tools is now allowing you to get competitive backlinks data.
There are many free and paid backlinks tools for you to choose from, but the fact is that you’re getting this information directly from the source itself, the search engine. And not only that, Bing is also showing you link data of sites you do not have verified access to.
As retargeting advertising becomes a highly demanded marketing channel, LinkedIn adds tools allowing you to do retargeting by video views and lead-generation forms. According to Techcrunch, LinkedIn says the network now includes publishers like Flipboard, Microsoft News and MSN.com (Microsoft owns LinkedIn), and that it can now extend the reach of a Sponsored Content campaign by 25%, while adding 9x more monthly touchpoints with some LinkedIn members.
