Where do coffee brands get traffic from online

Sub title: Top content-drivers for Green Mountain & Second Cup
Author: Timothy Izzard

The biggest link source for Keurig’s brand Green Mountain Coffee comes from a very popular content marketing website in one of their blog posts about how to create excellent content. The blog post from Social Media Examiner highlights how to make visual content work, and they have used Green Mountain’s Instagram as a perfect example for text overlays on pictures.
Many marketers use this site to discover trends and educate themselves, and the fact that Green Mountain is on here proves that they are creating excellent visual content.

The second biggest source directing traffic to Green Mountain’s website comes from a website listing fair trade retailers.
The third source comes from another website devoted to sustainable products called “treehugger”. Green Mountain Coffee was featured on a blog post about how to choose “green” tea and coffee.
The biggest inbound link source for Second Cup Coffee Co. comes from a website all about travel, and the section about Second Cup comes from the section about Canada. http://wikitravel.org/en/Canada
I think that this website is a very popular result for those looking to come to Canada, and the fact that Second Cup is featured on here multiple times does very well for them. This also helps them become known as a Canadian company, of which they have pride for.

Interestingly, the second biggest inbound link source for Second Cup comes from a site all about free WiFi locations across Canada. This website could be popular for those looking for a quiet place to work away from home.


I found a fan page for Second Cup in the form of a blog on “blogto.com”. The blog was written by a former employee of a coffee shop and the history and journey of Second Cup to get to the restaurant it is today. It’s a great read! http://www.blogto.com/cafes/second-cup-coffee-toronto
