Social Media is becoming a main part of SEO

Online marketers can never discount search engine optimization (SEO). To succeed in the World Wide Web, online businesses need to make sure that their site has enough exposure. Usually, a well-crafted SEO campaign does the trick, but more and more techniques are being developed everyday. And one of the emerging techniques is Social Media Optimization (SMO).

SMO is a great way to amplify the strength of an SEO campaign. It uses social media to promote a site. And with a vast number of social media sites being developed, SMO is the future of SEO.

When it comes to search statistics, several social media search platforms have become successful. To mention some: YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. These three sites are commonly used by browsers for search functions.

Some reports even dare to say that Facebook is emerging as the number one source of referring traffic—a throne that belongs to Google. That’s why sites need to capitalize on this trend soon. Optimizing for social media searches is just as important as optimizing for Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.

Whether it’s videos, songs or user profiles, it can be used to promote an online business. These uploads can be optimized by integrating keywords and Meta tags onto the page.

There is already a foundation for social media, since almost everybody has social media profile or a YouTube account. The browsers are there, and it’s just a matter of turning them into clients.

Today, the best strategy for online businesses is to integrate SMO with their SEO campaigns. This will give them a competitive edge in the market.

Advantage of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Brands may further their website promotion if they combine the attributes of both search engine optimization (SEO) and paid search on sites such as Google.

This is according to research director with Marketing Sherpa Sergio Balegno, who made this recommendation after the publication of the company's latest chart, which compared the quality and quantity of business-to-business search-generated leads.

The research revealed SEO delivered the highest rates in both the quantity and quality categories, providing the same number of high-quality leads than all the paid search sources - ranging from Google to MSN and AOL - put together.

Mr Balegno observed, however, that companies would profit from using paid search as well, because this gives advertisers greater control over the placement of result listings and timings of campaigns.

He noted that the "secret of optimising paid search results … is the sequential relevancy of the search term to ad listing to landing page".

In addition, he stated that the best strategies are those using both SEO and paid search "to give marketers and their sales teams the best of both worlds".

And Sam Tilston of Zoombits.co.uk added to this, advising SEO firms to consider using long tail keywords, as these deliver "very targeted and high quality" leads.

Here’s a Google screenshot showing the malicious results from Symantec:
