Blogs are social endeavors, and creating blog posts that are share worthy is the goal of all bloggers. Now you can either follow a defined and distinct content marketing strategy, or rely on plain old luck to get some social love.
The latter, obviously, being the wrong way to go about it.
Successful bloggers have refined this art into science, and using high impact buzzwords is high in the list of factors that make readers share blog content — they create interest and trigger immediate action.
