This fundamentally human way of interacting makes social media a necessity in any search engine optimization campaign. In a world where content is king, this is where your hard work earns its crown.
Friends sharing with friends the blogs, videos, services and offers they value. It used to be said that there’s no better advertising than word of mouth. That’s now changing subtly to word of tweet, wall, blog and link.
Like any conversation, social media works best when:
- All parties share a common interest.
- There is an opportunity for the free exchange of ideas.
- Participants adhere to commonly accepted rules of etiquette.
- There is a clear benefit to continuing the conversation.
