So many webmasters spend their time working the social media angle. It must be doing something for them. I know from my own experience that most Stumblers and people who Digg are just completely blind to ads that are on a website. So why do we keep doing it?
The Links…HELLO…
Yes social media sites can be an important part of link building.
Social Media Optimization is what it’s called. You can read a good post about the differences in SMO and SEO Search Engine Optimization here: Search Engine Optimization VS Social Media Optimization
I know many webmasters who simply use social media sites to find relevant articles and sites that are popular to leave their own website link at. Wordpress blogs are great for commenting on if it’s relevant to your niche. Sometimes, it’s simply a Digg comment page that is relevant to your site, it’s even a better bonus if the page is older and has some Page Rank to it.
Tell me what you think about it! I’d love to get some perspective of others into why they are using the Social Media Optimization method of getting visitors.
