Mario, your point is an interesting one. It could appear to be a fool proof approach, if there is such a thing.

Scott, I think that using different methods to format your content (social media) allows you to offer choices to your audience. Seth Goodin said that we cannot persuade anyone to do business with us during the search PROCESS. What we can do is gain attention by being high on the SERPs and OFFER OPTIONS. With Googles Universal Search our blog, articles, press releases, video’s, etc CAN be found on the SERPs. Then you can offer a potential customer a way to access the message via a format that they like. THEN you can persuade.

I think it’s telling that there’s no reference to social media’s role in conversions. Search engine rankings are valuable, click-thrus are valuable, and conversations with customers (such that they actually happen) are useful, but it sounds like the jury is still out on whether social media lead to sales. I suspect they do…but I’m curious to hear others’ views.

Social media is important in marketing online and offline businesses. It should not be relied upon as the sole source of marketing efforts however, as more and more marketers use these groups the advertisements become diluted. Marketers will have to create a portfolio of efforts in order to continue to succeed. I personally recommend Rasof to help online business owners increase their page rank in order to enhance organic traffic from Google. It’s a nice way to be found by someone that is interested. Thank you for your article I enjoyed reading it.

Dan, I do not think that social media marketing is a destination but a variety of tools that you use to get closer to your audience. Pick one of them and learn how to use it, then you can add more if your audience is biting.

It’s my understanding that taking full advantage of social media marketing requires deep pockets, making this something
that only businesses can afford to do.

Is social media marketing a plausible option for the average website owner?

Thanks,

Dan

Oops, my curious nature took over me and made me click on the Smart Kit puzzles link – now my competitive nature has taken over.

I hope my guilty nature kicks in soon…

You’re so right, damn I told you the glass is half full!
We just launched a our site (online company)and for every positive comment we hear we get 6-10 not so positive comments. What a way to learn!

Great insight on social media blogging! THANKS!

Not to mention, you were so right about Smart Kit puzzles.
