Are we idiots or are we more into sharing?

That's exactly the question I asked myself recently about sharing all the information. Are we idiots for doing so?

“No sharing, no publishing, no counting.” That’s a rule at an online marketing-only event in Germany and it applied to all information obtained at the talks. I can’t quite explain why, but the first thing that crossed my mind was “Are we idiots for sharing?” I don’t think so. But let’s take it one step at a time.

Let's analyze the situation of the two countries. Economically, one thing has nothing to do with the other. While the German economy is the locomotive of all Europe, Spain is at the tail end and holding japanese email address list back the whole train, being one of the last wagons. This time we will only talk about the online marketing niche, so we will forget for a moment about the analogy of trains, locomotives and wagons.
Germany beats us in SEO but we should not hide in other fields
I have already said before that we should stop being complex when comparing the two countries in this sector. It is true that in terms of SEO Germany is still in a different league, but in terms of content marketing I don't see any reason to hide. An indication of this is that not so long ago the first German event for the topic of WordPress was held. The topic of blogging seems to remain in its non-commercial beginnings where any kind of attempt to earn money with the hobby seems to be frowned upon by the community. Perhaps this is why Iron Bloggers are so successful in German lands, even achieving a full article in the electronic version of the prestigious magazine "Spiegel". In Spain we are still waiting for some national media to mention the initiative...
Let's talk about social media . Germany is much more active in terms of Facebook users than Spain when it comes to social networks (it ranks sixth worldwide with 22.1 million users). On the other hand, on Twitter, Spaniards are in the top positions, ranking second behind English, along with all Spanish speakers. Madrid even stands out, appearing among the top 20 cities with the most activity in terms of tweets posted. Twitter is not necessarily the most popular network in Germany.
