The Social Networking Dynamite with a laser beam funnel effect

29.10.07

Gaming the search engines. The transference of social community power to your website can be more effective than gathering large numbers of back links from relevant authority sites.

How so ?
Like a high velocity directional electron beam targeted at your site a social networking laser beam can then trigger a catalytic reaction of traffic from other sources. News travels fast within the social communities like a particle accelerator with great amounts of kinetic energy.

Imagine the following all bundled up: Stumbleupon, Digg, Myspace and Facebook in your laser gun and it’s ultimate ability to power you up the Serps.

More and more focus will be on the social networks in months to come. I see Stumbleupon has opened itself up and Myspace is actively encouraging development with its open source.

    I absolutely agree. I also think that in the future will be searching more connected with user’s opinions. More Stubles you have, better position you get.

    I’m all for less reliance on the search engines for traffic. I think it’s time we all started using RSS more, and becoming more Socially active on the sites you mention.

    This is so true and something I only recently learned. Can’t wait to see where SMO takes me.

    As more and more commercial enteprises focus on social networking i was wondering how long will it be before the benefit-to-seo bubble will burst. Surely, Google in particular, will start devaluing links from social network sites, in much the same way as they have treated selling links. I think maybe we should be cautious and not rely too much on social networks as the current short term gain could reap long term penalties.

    the only traffic source for me that beats social networks is Google.

    “SEO” just get one of your pages or posted “Stumbled” and you will see what he means when checking your log files.

    Don’t overlook the synergistic effects of social bookmarking with search engine traffic. Those are essentially free backlinks. And if the content is good, you end up with follow on articles in other sources as they find you. It’s the gift that keeps on giving — you get the initial traffic from the bookmarking site, and then the benefit of the improvement in SERPs.

    I think people make a mistake by concentrating on the “Big 5″ in social bookmarking. Would you rather be on the 199th page of Digg among a bunch of irrelevant articles in your niche, or on the first page of 50 PR3 sites that concentrate on your niche?

    Do you guys rely on the traffic from the networks, or is it just for the links?

    Social media, articles marketing, press releases and sEO … they all are an amalgam of what goes into successful marketing.
