Here are five social media infographics that can influence your business and your online operations.
Marty Note
My favorite of these 5 infographics is the one about the power of visual data. Visuals are crushing textuals as this infographic illustrates. The next would be what happens in a social media minute (a tremendous amount and we will look back on these days as the calm ones LOL).

I think this Infographic has aged. If you follow its outline you risk talking to yourself about yourself, a social media No No. Here is how I would rest the ideal 50 social media work week (as if such a thing actually existed :): 8 Hours Curating 4 Hours Listening (checking Topsy and quantifying results) 4 Hours Conversations (curating comments, commenting on others) 4 Hours Research, Planning, Analytics 4 Contignecy & Emergencies 4 Movements (i.e. "super campaigns") 8 Hours OPEN ============ 40 hours I don't believe is schedule every minute of any social media outline. There must be larger blocks for responding, planning, analytics and tweaking. I also don't like "campaigns" as much as created temed movements.

Think you’ve got the social media thing down at your business? Think you’re squeezing every last bit of benefit by utilizing online marketing across a variety of social platforms? Think again. Because there’s no way you’re getting the most bang for your social media buck if you’re only using it for marketing. Hootsuite CEO Ryan Holmes tells Fast Company that according to a McKinsey report, social technologies have an untapped business value of $1.3 trillion. “And most of that comes from improved office productivity,” says Holmes. “In the year ahead, expect enterprises to embrace social media tools – including internal networks, real-time chats and wikis – for uses that go way beyond the familiar applications for marketing and community building.” Via Brian Yanish - MarketingHits.com Delete the scoop?

According to this post: 1 Facebook comment = 7 likes 1 Facebook share = 2 comments, 14 likes. I'm not sure where these numbers come from, but there is a compelling case for the fact that comments and shares are much more valuable than likes. When it comes down to it, always go for the shares. This means that your audience found your content worth of sharing with their audience. Delete the scoop?

Nick, yes the response to REAL TIME is a challenge all content marketers face. There is also an important role for "tent pole" content. I think of "tent pole content" as the old "evergreen content" idea. Tent poles are posts you link in frequently because they are strong statements of branded content and they've been supported with links, likes and shares. We don't manage more than 7 tent poles at any given time and they roughly support our content keyword and taxonomy silos. Once the machine is open full throttle life is fun :). Marty

Some reports state that social indicators (shares, retweets, +1’s) are already more important than incoming links. This isn’t exactly news, as we’ve seen Google systematically destroy search manipulators for the past couple of years. While it isn’t exactly headline material, it does show that the future of search is a blend between traditional organic search and social media.

Social Dominance & New SEO This is especially true in the case of "social search" or Facebook's new "graph search" that moves technical SEO to the backseat as social search drives the car. Because when you are in a car looking for pizza you don't care about technical SEO. You care about what tastes good :). Delete the scoop?
