How Does Social Media Affect SEO?

SEO isn't about meta-tags any more - its about sharing

This is a brilliant resource for understanding next generation SEO. Thanks for scooping!

Here is a different look on #seo http://buff.ly/MImAdH , #patowings showing an infographic based post on sea vs new seo. Enjoy the read !!

Just got a great tweet from Jack Varnell:

Jack Varnell ‏@jackvarnell 2m

@ScentTrail - Agreed but it is all taxonomy. Could also say there will ALWAYS be new #SEO http://sco.lt/6jc0iP  via @scoopit #SEO

AGREE with Jack. The way he says it the emphasis is where it belongs - on the constant sea of change as Google and everyone else iterates code daily and hourly some day soon.

Radical SEO Idea
In 2003 I climbed up on a soapbox and tried to sell my Direct Marketing bosses on content marketing. They knew content because they paid BIG BUCKS to copywriters.

DM writers seemed to have a magic wand. They could tell a story that motivated people open their mail and call the call center. Today we need so much less WORK from our customers and yet achieving that "less work" is so much harder.

My radical idea is THERE IS NO "NEW SEO".

I'm not saying that half of this infographic (the new half) isn't helpful. It is helpful, but the idea of comparison is a) moot and b) not as dramatic as this comparison makes it feel and seem.

Understanding the WHY and WHAT is moot. The new SEO simply IS and they have a solid presentation of the "new SEO" here. The problem is boiling the new SEO down to an infographic chart with little boxes denies the interconnection between each of these pieces of sinew and the highly dynamic nature of this new mobile social web.

Mobile and social are dancing on a fire. One hand of the dancer, the hand holding the phone, pours gas on the fire even as the other hand, the social hand, tries to share the very HOT experience.

SO, focus on one side of this infographic and don't get caught up in why, how, who. Focus on how the new SEO is a tapestry and your marketing may need a massive RETHINK to play well with the new constantly and quickly changing Google.

......reviewing.......

Seeking the source of viralocity is like the historical search for the source of the Nile or the white whale. Here are some ideas to achieve it:

1.) The science of persuasion: Nailing the fear of “missing out”

2.) We only read 20% of web pages – make your content easy to skim read

3.) We all want to learn something and get smarter – it’s science!

4.) A greatly undervalued element: Sharing buttons make content 7 times more likely to spread

5.) Length of content and virality go hand in hand

6.) Consistency and Authority – Marc and Angel have been blogging since 2006

Nice piece on the elements of viral content. Much of it we already know-high quality, "surprising" content; consistency; easy to skim. But another feature revolves around "scarcity and missing out."  "...If you are writing something that’s unique and people might have a feeling of otherwise missing out on, then this is a fantastic trigger to get people interested in your content..." 

Great infographics on the various networks.

Brief and clear! Worth taking a glance!

What if these were stats instead about "number of children immunized," "mentoring hours," "released prisoners education opportunities." sigh
