This was an article that needed to be written, there is much speculation and integrated thoughts surrounding Social Media. Not sure every thought is wrong. However I do believe there are proven techniques for the social Media marketing equation.
This would apply to any model, Non-profit, Campaigners, Affiliate Marketers (not so much if your using their domain,however some great ways around that topic, but that another article), Entrepreneurs and Business Men in Corporate Equations.
Social media platforms come in all shapes and sizes but have one thing in common and that is in their ability to rank highly in the search engines. What this means is quite simple. If you’re the little guy out there battling to stay afloat online you can leverage the power of social bookmarking sites, forums, microblogging sites and link to your website by providing quality content.
Conversation marketing and the power of personal attraction are all it takes to be successful with social media marketing.
Do this right and it is very powerful. Target your customers with keyword researched articles that you structure within article sites to maximize your position in search results. take your brand conversation to your customers in an open and honest way, developing the conversation through feedback and review to gain trust.
So what is all the Social Media Marketing doing for a campaigner. Is it pushing their site to the top? NO not at all sometimes that can give it a little push but really places like Facebook have already done the work of high page rank, so you’re in a community like facebook can go to the top of that area within their searches. That is not nessacarily a bad thing considering the population of places like Facebook have over 200 Million as members. One does not have to rely so much on google, but to google’s credit they have seen this and want a piece of this pie. (That is a whole new topic, they are the masters). Of course this is Attraction Marketing working well then once you have that attraction you then have the Conversation Start.
Tracking and principles used with Article Marketing do apply. That means you still select your keywords well you also keep using the value of Anchor Text. There are many linking techniques.
