Social media optimization

[Rubie]

Aside from Search Engine Optimization (SEO), social media is now also used as an internet marketing tool. In Social Media Optimization (SMO), the promotion is conducted in the social networking sites. The chance of exposure in social media is quite reliable because live interaction with other people is possible.

In your opinion, how would you rate SMO as an internet marketing tool. As compared to SEO, what works best for you to promote your site?

I still have to see the effectiveness of that SMO in social media. It seems to me that users of social media are not that responsive when it comes to advertisements. I have been promoting to my friends in social media some of my videos and I get a good number of likes and even comments... but my videos get a few views only. But let us see if this SMO would be a thing in the future because the internet is truly full of surprises. In the olden days, who would think that a search engine would be the biggest thing in the internet? But it did happen.

Both SEO and SMO are used to increase the traffic to a website but they use different techniques. SEO brings traffic and backlinks for the website whereas SMO uses social media to maximize the awareness of the customers about the product or service. Both of them are important and are required for the promotion of the website, because both of them help to convert users into customers.

Is not much as a optimization, like SEO, I would call it social media signals and yes, having them helps a lot and can improve your rankings.

I think now a days both are very popular for websites SEO and SMO, because seo gives high visibility in search engine and smo gives traffic.

I doubt that having social media as a mean of optimizing your content since most users of social medias won't bother getting redirected to other sites. So your content wouldn't get that much optimization which you are looking for. Social media is good for promoting and sharing your links but don't expect much from it. Social media people nowadays are clever and if they notice that you are sharing stuff that they don't find interesting, they won't even bother clicking the link.

As far, as I know, social media optimizations purpose was to have a competitive analysis and web app friendly, so the user won't bother to proceed any further more websites reliance. Though, the stuff is interesting, when you want to find someone. It will just pointing to the user what you searching. When people exchange topics, theres a high possibility that, it would filter, and used as marketing targets of companies. Now, the fast dynamic of SMO, still upgraded until today, the much exposure into other user would not be inevitable, unless yourself keep some private information into yourself.

The main purpose of Social Media Optimization, or SMO in short, is to optimize your scocial media accounts in a way that it sends traffic to your website. One of the SMO techniques is social media presense. Your website should be present in various social media sites, from faceboo to twitter, Pinterest, G+, and Instagram. Secondly, you should provide a good teaser while sharing your links. If you want to get most from your contents through social media sharing, then you should use high quality image as the feature image, which will be appeared as preview image while sharing on social media. Social media sharing sends social signals, which will benefit SEO.

The purpose of social media optimaization is to use social media to increase traffic to a website. This may incorporate RSS feeds, social news and bookmarking sites, video and blogging sites, as well as social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram etc. Utilizing SMO on a website essentially means that the website and its content should be optimized so that the content from the site should easily shareable on social media.

SMO is a strategy for drawing new and unique visitors to a website. SMO can be done two ways: adding social media links to content, such as RSS feeds and sharing buttons or promoting activity through social media by updating status or tweets, or blog posts.

SMO, of course, would be the optimization of social media techniques to get free traffic. Well, I suppose that's possible. But then again, in comparison to high-quality PPC, boosting on Facebook is quite affordable. In that case, what's the wiser choice?

 

[overcast]

I think social media optimization takes a lot of time for some people. In such cases it can be reasonable to focus more on the SEO and the SMO at the same time. I have learned that some of the time you have to be really understanding on the way things work. I know for sure that SEO and SMO is more of the experimentation.
