Social Media Optimization through Blog Posts

It used to be very practical to use social media and social bookmarking sites to drive links directly to a website.  The search engine optimization value of sites like Digg, Reddit, Propeller, and Mixx were tremendous, offering nearly instant results for easy keywords and a great push towards making it on tougher keywords.

Some things are changing and it seems that the effectiveness of social media spamming has diminished.  This is an absolute blessing in disguise for those SEO firms who use valid and strong techniques through quality content to achieve their goals.  The SEO spammers - sorry, your time is up.

The days of spamming, straight spamming, through social media sites are nearly behind us.  As I’ve stated in previous posts, it is very easy for search engines and social media sites to detect what is real and what is spam.

I, personally, am so thankful of that fact.

Now, for those who actually do the work and write blogs about their subjects, you can still get the social media boosts without having to spam social media sites.  Most SEOs know that link juice travels down - it goes through one link and onto the next.  That’s a simplified explanation, but an important one to note nonetheless.
