It’s hard to believe it’s almost August already. Before long, we’ll be lamenting summer trips not taken, paperbacks left unread, beaches not visited.
Summer’s not quite done with us yet, however, and we have just enough time to look back at which posts were the most popular with our readers this month. So, whether you’re on a well-deserved vacation or stuck toiling away at the office, why not take a few minutes to catch up with the best of the WordStream blog in July?
1. The Comprehensive Guide to Online Advertising Costs: Our most popular post of the month was this comprehensive guide to online advertising costs by yours truly.

3. 13 Power Tips for #Winning Mobile Ad Copy: One of the most common mistakes advertisers make is failing to write unique ad copy for mobile.

5. 7 Brilliant Nuggets of Marketing Wisdom from #MozCon: MozCon is always a highlight of the marketing conference calendar, and this year’s event was a doozy – not least because of Rand’s shocking announcement that he’s stepping back from Moz. Fortunately, the programming at this year’s MozCon was as good as we’ve come to expect from our friends on the West Coast, and in our fifth entry in this month’s round-up, Allen shares seven of the best marketing tips he heard at MozCon 2017.
6. 7 Proven Hacks to Turn Any Restaurant into an Instagram Powerhouse: If we’re being brutally honest, we’ve all mocked people for taking pictures of their food then posting them on Instagram, even though we’ve all done exactly the same thing. However, regardless of where you stand on the whole amateur food photography thing, there’s no denying the fact that Instagram is where it’s at for restaurants hoping to compete in a crowded space. If this sounds familiar, Gordon Donnelly – the latest addition to WordStream’s content team – is here to help. Follow these seven Instagram hacks for restaurants and get ready for the dinner time rush.

9. The Feed Is Coming. Here’s How Google Could Monetize It: It might sound like a ‘50s B-movie, but The Feed is actually Google’s subtle attempt to cash in on Facebook-like content aggregation. For now, The Feed is bereft of ads, but you can rest assured that this probably won’t last long. In our penultimate post of this month’s round-up, Allen speculates on how Google could monetize its newest content offering (and pokes gentle fun at Google’s inadvertently hilarious messaging).
10. Hack Your Sales Funnel with Facebook Interest & Behavior Targeting: The traditional sales funnel is both a blessing and a curse; it offers a predictable road map for businesses hoping to drive leads and sales, but also presents many opportunities for potential conversions to be lost.
