Google adapts to the change in users on-line behaviour. As social interactions become more important Google has modified their search engine. The new Search Engine Ranking Positions place much more emphasis on social search results . The same goes for location. You'll notice &quot; nearby &quot; is one of the options. Discussions is another option. Google appears to draw from a variety of sources for this one, but it stands to reason that engaging in conversation throughout the web has some value to Google's results. There are definitely a lot of results from forums in these results - another reason forum participation can be a valuable use of your time. Forums and Q&A are actually a couple of sub-options, but I've seen blog posts in the discussions results too. Social media can boost exposure through the networks of the people you interact with the most.
Integration The main focus of Web 2.0 is web applications should be able to share data and play nicely together. Nearly every part of your social media marketing effort can integrate with at least one other part, and users of one kind of social media are likely to be users of other types; it makes sense to invite those who interact with you on Twitter to join your page on Facebook. Here are several examples: • Your Facebook page can be connected to your Twitter account to pull in your tweets. • Your LinkedIn account can include recent posts from your blog as well as presentations you’ve uploaded to SlideShare. • Plug-ins can be used to automatically tweet your new blog posts. • Your blog should have buttons for easy submission and voting on social news and bookmarking sites. • Your YouTube videos can be embedded on your blog and on your Facebook page. • Your blog can automatically publish daily posts of the links you’ve bookmarked on Delicious. • Your blog should have TweetMeme buttons to allow your readers to easily tweet about your content.
Is playing on Facebook just wasting time? To show business value and return on investment (ROI) for marketing campaigns, effective measurement is key. The ROI, or return on investment, from your on-line marketing efforts can be measurable and meaningful in a new way. To calculate the actual ROI from your efforts, simply deduct the cost of your work (include monetary and time investments) from the income generated. If the result is a positive number, your investment has been profitable; if not, you should revisit your campaigns to see what is working and what is not. Note which sites and tactics are generating the most value. Not all businesses can beneficially engage all types of social media; focus on the ones that work for you. The two easiest engagement metrics are time on-site and page views per visit. Bounce rates are a great way to identify which pages or sources of traffic are totally not working for you.
