Hey, Social Media Optimization stand for SMO. This is "some say" a new generation for the SEO. Please read about it here: Wiki From my experience SMO is an essential element to build link, it will never be SEO replacement - it will be only a complementary. I would like to suggest SMO forum spite the fact that it's still a new term.
This sounds like a good idea/suggestion for a new forum, but implementation will be very difficult - we'd have to move so many threads in the new forum, I don't know if we have enough moderators and time to do it at the present moment. However, I am sure one of the moderators here has taken note of your suggestion.
I hadnt seen this thread when I started my one about a more general forum for all social networking application discussion, but I feel that this proposed forum area would be a great addition to the proposed area from my thread on the same topic, and re. Mikeys post immediately above, sorry mate but I have to disagree with you again, there is enough traffic to warrant this, I absolutely guarantee it would get more use than MANY of the existing forum areas.
