Joe Pulizzi over at Junta42 has come out with the latest edition of his Top 42 Content Marketing Blogs. I’m happy to report that Eyecube came in at number 33 – up 13 spots from the last ranking.

How is Joe’s rank different than the AdAge 150 or Brendan Cooper’s PR Friendly Index? The Junta42 list focuses on what Joe calls Content Marketing:

Content marketing is a marketing technique of creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.

Search Engine Optimization is not my thing. Nothing wrong with that important field, it’s just not what I’m about. I’m a big believer in the following:

Tell compelling stories.

Give consumers tools and the opportunity to play with your brand.

Show interest in the consumers if you want them to show interest in you.

It’s pretty simple really.
