5 Rules of Social Media Optimization (SMO)

5 Rules of Social Media Optimization (SMO)
For years now, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for websites has been honed into a fine art with entire companies devoting considerable effort to defining best practices and touting the value of SEO for raising a site's performance on organic search listings.  While I believe in the power of SEO, there is a new offering we have started providing to clients which we call Social Media Optimization (SMO).  The concept behind SMO is simple: implement changes to optimize a site so that it is more easily linked to, more highly visible in social media searches on custom search engines (such as Technorati), and more frequently included in relevant posts on blogs, podcasts and vlogs.  Here are 5 rules we use to help guide our thinking with conducting an SMO for a client's website:

1. Increase your linkability – This is the first and most important priority for websites.  Many sites are "static" – meaning they are rarely updated and used simply for a storefront.  To optimize a site for social media, we need to increase the linkability of the content.  Adding a blog is a great step, however there are many other ways such as creating white papers and thought pieces, or even simply aggregating content that exists elsewhere into a useful format.
2. Make tagging and bookmarking easy – Adding content features like quick buttons to "add to del.icio.us" are one way to make the process of tagging pages easier, but we go beyond this, making sure pages include a list of relevant tags, suggested notes for a link (which come up automatically when you go to tag a site), and making sure to tag our pages first on popular social bookmarking sites (including more than just the homepage).
3. Reward inbound links – Often used as a barometer for success of a blog (as well as a website), inbound links are paramount to rising in search results and overall rankings.  To encourage more of them, we need to make it easy and provide clear rewards.  From using Permalinks to recreating Similarly, listing recent linking blogs on your site provides the reward of visibility for those who link to you
4. Help your content travel - Unlike much of SEO, SMO is not just about making changes to a site.  When you have content that can be portable (such as PDFs, video files and audio files), submitting them to relevant sites will help your content travel further, and ultimately drive links back to your site.   
5. Encourage the mashup – In a world of co-creation, it pays to be more open about letting others use your content (within reason).  YouTube's idea of providing code to cut and paste so you can imbed videos from their site has fueled their growth.  Syndicating your content through RSS also makes it easy for others to create mashups that can drive traffic or augment your content.

7 social media resolutions for 2015

From trying new networks to keeping social media out of the bedroom, here are seven resolutions you can work on in 2015.

• 1. Mute more people on Twitter.

  

  The 140-character social network blessed us with the ability to mute users in 2014. That means you can do all the followbacks and courtesy follows you want, and you won't get stuck scrolling through undesirable tweets.

  If you don't know where to start, don't worry: We have a few recommendations of who to mute first.

• 2. Keep up with LinkedIn connections.

  

  For some people, LinkedIn is social media kryptonite. Sure, you're great with Facebook and Twitter, but something about the site's lean toward networking makes it much more challenging. You're not just being yourself, you're being your most polished, professional self.

  However, for those who know how to wield it, LinkedIn can be a powerful tool for networking and branching out. Check out these eight power tips and tricks from Mashable, or these 10 simple steps from LinkedIn itself to boost your experience.

• 3. Delete (or download) those mobile apps.

  

  This resolution goes out to all the folks constantly thumbing the Twitter app on their smartphones. Unless you're required to always be tapped in for work or personal reasons, wean yourself off your social supply by getting rid of your social media apps.

  But we also have a resolution for people with the opposite problem. If you want to be more socially active, make room in your phone's memory for apps. The constant presence might encourage you to post the occasional Facebook or Tumblr post.

• 4. Clean out your Facebook friends list.

  

  This might make Mark Zuckerberg sad, but it has to be done.

  Unlike Twitter, Facebook made it really easy to hide people a long time ago. However, also unlike Twitter, Facebook shuffles around the stuff you see on your News Feed based on your activity and who you interact with. Just cut the dead weight already and keep the friends you actually want.

• 5. Keep it out of bed.

  

  It's tempting to check your notifications and refresh your feed just one last time before bed – or to check it first thing in the morning.

  That can be a harmful habit, and starts your day off with Internet clutter from the start. Plus, using tech before going to bed can seriously mess up your sleep. Is refreshing your Twitter feed really worth ruining your slumber? Probably not.

• 6. Try a new network.

  

  Maybe you've grown weary of the popular go-to networks, like Facebook, Instagram or Vine. Dip your toes into some fresher waters by signing up for newer networks.

  You could check out Ello, the anti-authoritarian network that refuses to show ads. Or you could download Yo, the ultra simple, gimmicky app that has become much more aggressively social. Perhaps you could step up your selfie game with photo app Shots, before it soon gets acquired by Twitter, according to strong rumors.

  Or maybe try dusting off your Google+ account?* Wait, where are you going? Don't click out of this article! We're just kidding!

  (*No hard feelings, Google.)

• 7. Think before you snap.

  

  Long ago, Snapchat was the ultimate peek-a-boo app. You could send and receive pictures from your friends, but the images disappeared almost instantly.

  Now, Snapchat is constantly evolving. You can send full stories, easily screenshot images and even transfer money to friends. There's also a "replay" function for photos and videos, in case someone wants to check out your post twice.

  However, all these additions have a downside. Continuing 2014's disgusting photo-hacking frenzy, thousands of Snapchat images were leaked in October from a third-party app and posted online. It's not quite the secure app users once thought it was. Let 2015 be the year you think twice before you send something potentially incriminating.
