Since its inception, the B2B Marketing Zone has been the one place to catch up on all the latest posts from the leading B2B bloggers, writers like Brian Carroll, Chris Abraham, Ambal Balakrishnan, Ardath Albee and many more. Over time, the site has evolved and added new features to enhance its value to readers.

The latest addition: Aggregage, the platform that powers the B2B Marketing Zone (or BMZ) has added a robust personalization engine.  Readers can now sign-up and have content from the site personalized based on their interests.

To check it out, sign-up using the “Personalize Your Content” button at the top right of the BMZ home page, as shown here.

The BMZ always features great, fresh content from the leading B2B bloggers. The home page is updated daily, plus it’s easy to search posts by blog, topic category, date, company mentions and more.

Now, personalization makes it even better. Curators find the best sources of content.  The BMZ then uses social signals from sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and delicious as well as clicks and views.  The algorithm that determines what makes it to top of the front page of the site looks at attributes like average values for the source , who is providing the signal, reputation and influence, and other factors.

What’s changed is that now the BMZ enables you to sign up and provide your Twitter and LinkedIn info. The personalization engine will then examine your activity on these sites and what kind of content you share.  It uses that data to evaluate your interests as well as to cluster you with other like-minded readers based on interests and sharing.  You can further control your interests via the Subscription page.

The personalization engine “learns” about you over time and combines three pieces of information to predict what will be most interesting to you:

• • Social signal score – are other readers finding this content interesting?
• • Topic match – does the subject match your interests?
• • Like sharing – are other individuals similar to you sharing this content?

The engine then uses these signals to both personalize the ranking of posts on the site when you log in, and to produce customized Daily and Weekly newsletters for you.

The goal of the BMZ has always been to make sure readers don’t miss the best and latest content from the leading thinkers and writers in the world of B2B marketing and sales. Now, with personalization, there’s even less chance that you’ll miss a post that is really important—based on what it is exactly that’s important to YOU.
