Both are extremely good, it's just about how you use them... Although one could say that Facebook is more for short-term, and Google for long-term, I don't agree because you can own a fan page forever and keep promoting to those people..
For prosper in SEO its better to follow the search engine guidelines it is beneficial for SEO. Use high PR and dofollow sites for link submission. Its better if you focus on relevancy or original content.
SEO contains social bookmarking..there is no comparison of both bcoz social bookmarking is a part of SEO..
Since both is free . If you do have time then focus on both . I believe SEO will bring Organic Search which the traffic is more quality compare to social media. It would be best you able to generate traffic from both side.
Social networking is just a form of Search Engine Optimization. although SEO has different forms and techniques, social media, for me, is one of the best ways in promoting a site and even in driving sales. Here are some types of social media "mentions" that will help you drive sales. • Brand mentions offer an opportunity to engage with existing customers to further propagate positive mentions and immediately respond to negative mentions, building awareness and customer loyalty. • Mentions sharing negative comments about competitors' products or services on social media channels are opportunities for you to win new customers and gain market share. • Point-in-time-need mentions are the best opportunities to engage with qualified prospects because they are actively looking for a solution to an identified need.
Social promotion is an effective tool in driving traffic to your sites. But the method requires a thorough experienced for its success can't be achieved in short span of time. But if you are best of it, then success rate is also high...
I wouldn't say it's better but it has a high impact to your site. You can check out seomoz blog for this one for the statistics being done.
At this point, the best thing to do would be to dabble a little in both in preparation for whatever Google will throw at us in the future. With the movements its been making, it's become clearer and clearer that SEO will eventually be of less value than the influence of Social networking, but as to when it will happen is unclear, so it's best to keep tabs on both.
To promote page rank high Social Networking or promotion is very helpful cause millions of users are gathered that sites and use very complete SEO tactics. Besides you can use different classified ad site to promote your site.
SEO will bring in results for a long time where Social promotions are more for instant traffic. As many have said, you should make use of both the strategies to get traffic not only for short term but also for longer term... Regards,
1000 monthly queries for one keyword is really not so much. But when you working on SEO of your site seriously, you will surely get traffic from hundrets or even sthousands of keywords. 33 daily visitors from 1000 keywords is 33 000 daily visitors. Not so bad, eh?
depends on the niche of your website , if your website is entertaining , then yes , social network would be good
Well, it seems that we can't compare traffic from Social networking website with traffic from Search engines. As traffic from search engines are more relevant and are capable to get converted into sale but whereas the traffic from Twitter and similar social networking websites are not easily converted into sale.
Social marketing is NOT SEO. Search Engine Optimization and Social networking are sub-sections of Internet Marketing. Each one focuses on a different source of traffic. My suggestion is focus on the long term results. If you see that social networking is beneficial not only in the short term but also in the long term, then focus all of your energy there, SEO is not as necessary as everybody screams it is. Your #1 goal is to send quality traffic to your site and if social marketing is doing this for you then do that, eventually your site will grown and the search engines will start listing your site for those keywords. That is what they prefer you do anyways.
