NEWS
Downloads of Byte Surge in the US, as TikTok's Future Remains
Uncertain
|
|
|

Have you heard about Byte? This 6-second looping video app is kinda similar to TikTok, but it was created by one of the co-founders of Vine. Yeah, remember Vine?!
Well, with TikTok now banned in India, and more talk about a potential ban coming soon in the US, many folks are jumping over to Byte to see what all the excitement is about.
On a single day last week, Byte had 622,000 downloads!
In terms of a marketing strategy, TikTok may still be the better option for marketers and advertisers at the moment, since it is the more-developed platform, but with more bans potentially brewing, this could all change very quickly.

The folks at DigitalMarkerer put together a helpful article with the 3 SEO updates marketers need to know about in Q3.
As they say, "The May 2020 Core Update followed the January 2020 Core Update. This time around, Google seems to be drilling deeper into what quality content really is and how they can work their algorithm around it. Quality content has been Google’s mission for quite some time now, but a few searches as a Google user can show you that they’re not always hitting the mark."
