New method: I go to church every day and pray that Google will go into bankruptcy......then Yahoo and Bing will inherit the search throne. I know how to optimize for them but the control freaks at Google aren't so easy.
There is no new method but it is upon you how you will implement strategies in new way. Although, there are lots of options which you can do for branding purpose, although; you will also get backlinks to your website. For example, sharing your research documents, sharing presentations and videos. Most of them would be NDF, but it will drive huge traffic.
