Optimizing Your Social Media

In the last 6-12 months social media optimization has been a very highly talked about and discussed venue for traffic. Although social media sites like myspace have been around much longer then a year over the last year many internet marketers and SEO's have been focusing their attention on marketing and gaming these sites. With the emergence of proper SMO the need to have top rankings in the SERP's has decreased and the need to optimze content for sites like digg, myspace, redditt, newsvine etc. has become a very indemand skill. Anyone who is an SEO/SEM should definitly know about SMO and if they are serious SEO's they should learn how to be a SMO. Lets take a quick look at SMO results over at shoemoney.com. Jeremy released a blog post about 100% boost in his traffic from reaching the first page of digg. These results are being seen all over the web but the problem I see is that the boost of immediate traffic is extremely fast BUT the drop in traffic is also fast. Darren Rowse posted a pretty interesting article on how to cultivate your ranking factors that Reddit, Shoutwire might use. Todd malicoat came out with a great post about how PLIGG which is a content management system for digg like sites. I put together a test one over at boost mobile profile or the personal marketing profiles like the myspace marketing and I will repost them here.
