Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
In the past, SEO had little or nothing to do with social media sites. It was always thought of an IT professional’s task of getting your site and content easily found on the search engines and social media was just a personal way of keeping in touch with your friends. But that is not the case in the present day, the past couple of years have seen the line between SEO and social media blur and social media has now become one of the core areas of online marketing plans.
So what is it that makes social such an important part of search nowadays?
Bing says it is because of the change in user behavior. 2011 saw Google and Microsoft shift from delivering search results based on stereotypical algorithms to more personalize results that are based on what you and your friends recommend and follow on various social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Marketing is all about keenly observing human nature and behavior and adapting a business strategy accordingly. Search engines are no different. Bing says they have watched your search behavior and pattern to study and understand how you think and subsequently display search results that will help you complete your search faster. Visual signals like the number of ‘likes’ and ‘tweets’ received play a crucial role in how your business ranks on the SERP’s.
According to Bing, SEO backed with social media is the perfect formula to maintain your inbound visitors and to make your content marketing strategy work today and tomorrow. But it will not happen instantly. You have to invest your time and efforts into making your business visible on the SERP’s. Start interacting with your followers, build a relationship with them, deliver quality items to them so that you earn their loyalty and in return they will spread your business all over the web.
Social media is here to stay so if you haven’t already, then the new year is the perfect time to build the social media presence of your business. Here is Bing’s Duane Forrester main tip to increasing your social media presence:
Where does social media fit into your marketing plan for 2012? I hope it features quite heavily because the benefits to your business will be great in the long run.
