SMO stands for ‘Social Media Optimization’, it is the process of broadening the awareness of a company, product, brand or event by using various social media communities to create magnificent publicity.
Not agreed. Now a days Social Media is playing a good role in SERP too. Bing and Google are considering the links on Social Media. I have tried it my self for my company's blog and found really good results and improvement in Searches. And secondly i think google +1 would be the good example of this question.
By making profile on Social media sites, it helps to build the friends and promote the business.So that, it helps in getting more traffic to your business and improves the sale.
Social media refers to the term where a website is promoted over the social networking sites. Social media campaigns can run successfully on sites like face book, my space, orkut etc A successful social media campaign can result in thousands on new inbound links. The best part of it is that the links are natural not reciprocated or bought. following are some of the strategies to develop your social media marketing campaign Introduce your company by starting a company blog Add a forum to the website, Setup brand profiles, Interact with the visitors and Finally build up stronger relationships An important aspect to searcher expectations is that consumers search social media sites (Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo Answers, MySpace) to a small degree, as an alternatives to standard search for information, references and recommendations. People don’t trust formal marketing messages and there is something inherently more trustworthy about recommendations made by others willing to take the time to review products/services and share their opinions. Marketers realize this of course and as a result, there has been an increase in the number of “fake†reviews on e-commerce sites. With on-line advertising, there are increasing numbers of companies enabling rich media ads with social features. Links are added so that viewers of the ad can share, rare or comment.
I think social media optimation is different think with SEO (search engine optimation). It's all about social gradients, no algorithm.
With the latest google update it seems that social media is a factor in how google determines your rankings.
Smo, seo, ppc, affiliate marketing all are part of Internet marketing or you can say online marketing.
yes mate it is a part of SEO because through this we can generate traffic and through SMO our links are indexing fast.
No, it's not a part of SEO. SMO is nothing but optimizing your website in a way that it gets more visibility in social media sites. It includes adding a FB "Like" button, "Tweet" share button in your website in-order to share your contents in those sites.
