We are all beginning to understand that social media has huge potentials in the world of search engine optimisation and there are many ways to use social networking websites to your benefit. I have spoken about a few of the ways you can use the likes of Twitter and Facebook to your advantage but there is far more to social media than Twittering your way to the top of the rankings.
Your PR objectives are important to any company and with social media being extremely flexible; it allows your PR objectives to change and grow at the same time. There are no concrete right and wrong ways to utilise social media channels but it is becoming clear that there are things that you can do to dramatically increase your Internet presence through a few simple actions.
Twitter is a very popular social media channel and without a shadow of a doubt it is the network of the moment with marketing and PR professionals. I am not denying that Twitter is a useful form of social media all I am saying is that there is far more out there and if you are only concentrating on Twitter then you are missing out on many other opportunities. You should look at Twitter as being a small piece of a much larger puzzle as you do not get analytics and you are unable to control the network through Twitter.
The old adage of never putting all of your eggs in one basket is the perfect way to describe what I mean about using Twitter. Instead of dominating network A you want to get to the stage where you dominate all of the networks to the point you are owning and starting your own networks. Don’t strive to simply do well via Twitter; strive to be Twitter!
The most obvious downfall of putting all of your effort into one social median is that social networking sites fall in and out of favour faster than you can ever imagine and although it seems highly improbable right now; Twitter may soon be a thing of the past taking your SEO hard work with it. Your PR work within social media will become far easier when your company becomes referential. You need people to notice your brand and recognise it with ease and this can be done by concentrating your efforts throughout the whole social media world and not just through one window. People will then start to talk about your brand and discussions and blogs will then be generated from there and so on.
See out the quiet times by continuing to push on with your efforts. Competitors will come and go and the trick is to outlast them but being consistent and spreading your social media wings as far and as wide as possible.
