I find with the constant development in the standards of seo and the ever changing algorithm of the search engines, its impossible to optimize a web site once and expect that to be it.

If a company wants to have search engine marketing applied to their site they need to understand its an on going process and that time equals money.

By using the concepts of web 2.0, search engines can broaden the resources that are important to them. This means optimizers across the land need to be open minded and try new concepts improve listings.

Social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn are not directly useful for link building because the vast majority of content is behind a log in, but they do provide an excellent channel of promotion for linkable content.

An example would be the ability to message your network or include your blog posts in your personal feed which is distributed to your network. Even your status can invite people in your network to visit linkable content or link bait.

So the linkability effect of most social networks is secondary, not direct.

Great post and very helpful suggestions! I believe your last point about providing good quality content through such means as articles and blog posts on behalf of clients is an oft-neglected but hugely effective way to enhance SEO for that client. Thanks again and I look forward to reading more posts about SEO techniques and advice!

Tom, is that because they use the rel=”nofollow” tag do you think?

I’ve recently joined Jack Humphrey’s Social Power Linking Membership site (excellent btw) so I’m just starting to use Social Networks to market my business.

Interesting you bring up social networking sites in regards to SEO. While I believe social sites can be a useful platform for marketing some niche businesses, they don’t appear to help SEO in the Google/Yahoo realm. Google and Yahoo do not put any value on links from social networking sites. Go ahead and do a linkback look up and you will discover no Facebook or MySpace links present.

That isn’t to imply Social networking sites lack marketing value, but Google doesn’t seem to support their links with their almighty pagerank.

Cheers
