Four types of Content Loops

Break it down by:

  1. User vs. Company created content
  2. User vs. Company distributed content

Given this we have four types

  1. UG, CD - SEO
  2. UG, UD - Social
  3. CG, UD - Social
  4. CG, CD - SEO

Pinterest has both UG-CD (via SEO) and UG-UD (via social)

Primary constraint - cost of content generation and return per piece of content.
