1. Content for answers: The inverted pyramid - Whiteboard Friday (Moz)
Not just for journalists anymore, the inverted-pyramid style of organizing and prioritizing information can be used in your content marketing efforts, too. Moz's latest Whiteboard Friday demonstrates the what, why and how.
 
2. Google wants to make audio content searchable (Search Engine Journal)
You might start seeing podcasts pop up in search engine results if Google has its way. They hope to start making audio content searchable by incorporating podcast metadata into search results. The audio content would appear alongside articles, videos and images, just like any other type of content.  
 
3. How to retarget people who click on curated content (Social Media Examiner)

4. Why podcasting is the next marketing frontier (Entrepreneur)
Maybe this has something to do with the tidbit we shared above on how Google plans to make audio content appear in search results... or maybe it's just that Google is onto something here: podcasts and online talk shows are becoming more and more popular, and have been gaining incredible traction over the last few years. If you're not yet sure how or why podcasts could be the next big thing in marketing, you won't want to miss this one.
 
5. Artificial intelligence—the next frontier in content marketing (Marketo)
