Maximizing your online Exposure!

The term social media optimization is defined as a set of methods for generating publicity through social media and online communities. Social media optimization is in many ways connected as a technique to viral marketing where word of mouth is created not through friends or family but through the use of networking in social book marking, video and photo sharing websites.

One of the perfect ways to optimize the website, Social Media Optimization (SMO) would be more easily connected or interlaced with online communities and community websites which are also called social media sites.

In the recent survey, it is found that SMO has become an easy way to optimize your website. The basic concept residing behind social media optimization is very simple. It means to implement some changes to your website in order to optimize a site so that it is more easily connected to, and largely visible in social media searches on custom search engines.

There are 5 original strategies of SMO which EDG follows:

Increase your likability

This is the first and most important priority for websites. Many sites are "static" - meaning they are rarely updated and used simply for a storefront. To optimize a site for social media, we need to increase the likability of the content. Adding a blog is a great step, however there are many other ways such as creating white papers and thought pieces, or even simply aggregating content that exists elsewhere into a useful format.

Make tagging and bookmarking easy

Adding content features like quick buttons to "add to del.icio.us" are one way to make the process of tagging pages easier, but we go beyond this, making sure pages include a list of relevant tags, suggested notes for a link (which come up automatically when you go to tag a site), and making sure to tag our pages first on popular social bookmarking sites (including more than just the homepage).

Reward inbound links

Often used as a barometer for success of a blog (as well as a website), inbound links are paramount to rising in search results and overall rankings. To encourage more of them, we need to make it easy and provide clear rewards. From using Permalinks to recreating similarly, listing recent linking blogs on your site provides the reward of visibility for those who link to you

Help your content travel

Unlike much of SEO, SMO is not just about making changes to a site. When you have content that can be portable (such as PDF's, video files and audio files), submitting them to relevant sites will help your content travel further, and ultimately drive links back to your site. 

Encourage the mash up

In a world of co-creation, it pays to be more open about letting others use your content (within reason). YouTube's idea of providing code to cut and paste so you can imbed videos from their site has fuelled their growth. Syndicating your content through RSS also makes it easy for others to create mashups that can drive traffic or augment your content.
