It is good to be reminded that the content, fresh and crawlable is what the search bots look for, and what the people need. I am afraid that we all lose site of that sometimes. The content will help to bring the links as well. I would love to learn more about making it easy to share. Nice post.

But it's absolutely essential. I devote a significant amount of time to social media and marketing my site and I do it manually. I try to come across as genuine and not robotic in my efforts. Building a site takes time, effort and planning. My first site failed, since I thought I could slap together a bunch of affiliate links and become successful. With my current site (A shopping Forum), I spent hours talking with merchants and other affiliate partners and developed a model that in three months has registered more success thenmy previous site had in 4 years. I couldn't have success without a Social Media model in place and it evolves as things change. This blog is one of my must reads. Lee and his staff are on top of their game and I love their input and knowledge. It’s extremely time consuming as any marketing effort is. But it’s absolutely essential.

But for many, this type of effort is very time consuming. There are "auto" efforts but they just don't do the job in an authentic and helpful way as the actual by hand method. People are looking for great content and helpful experts online. No junk and no phonies. It seems that you just can’t build a successful website anymore without a heavy dose of social media effort.

Would you you say some are better than others in various verticals, and make sense for some companies / individuals vs others? These may seem obvious, but I think comments, ratings, and polls the readers would be interested in also contribute are also other aspects that contribute to a social media site. Your site implements comments and ratings quite well. Regards, Omar Hi Lee, what social media channel do you find works best for you?

Whilst there may be many assets that can be published on the site to keep it fresh, the copy & assets are often updated infrequently due to resource constraints. There are also limitations due to web corporate standards, and social media is causing us to try and update these in order to make our website more dynamic. With the growing recognition of the importance of search, it's useful to understand the various ways we can make our site rank higher, and to have a strategy around how we will utilise these.

The easier you make it for the visitors to your clients sites to syndicate your content the more chance you have for social network exposure.

We are split, I believe that they are as good as getting external links, but my colleague thinks otherwise. Thoughts? Good article.

The trick to social media is having the word of mouth and the viral spread without giving the recipients the ability to turn it around on you. Much like the Skittles fiasco on Twitter earlier this year. Thanks for the good read. Fresh content is king, it always will be in the eyes of Google.
