Okay, not much secret about this. But especially small things like good metadata and thumbnails are often overlooked. And of course that can't rescue a campaign when the content is crap. So it's pretty basic stuff, but a good read nevertheless.

- 20% T = Thumbnail - the packaging which draws people in when displayed on the page
- 15% P = promotion - just good old fashioned marketing
