Social Media Marketing is an important tool not just in organizing your social life but also in SEO purposes. You can get inside Social Media Marketing sites to promote your site so that you will achieve a wider audience for your campaign. This week, Rockin SEO will reveal top 5 topics regarding Social Media Marketing and Social Media Search.
Sphinn
Sphinn is probably the best site that can be used by any SEO professional or rather someone who is concerned with social marketing. Sphinn is the first social media search engine and can also be used in networking with fellow users. These two main functionality of the site are what makes it work. Sphinn also gives credit to popular articles that are most searched and viewed by its users.
Flickr for marketing
In hindsight, Flickr is primarily a social photo sharing site wherein users can upload their pictures to be shared with their friends and other contacts. Now, Flickr can even be used in social marketing because of its strong following. Probably one of the factors why Flickr is very popular is its tie up with Yahoo. Once people search Yahoo for images, it searched the Flickr database. This enables the users and their photos to reach a wider audience.
Ongoing SEO implementation
Companies who use SEO usually just stop with the monitoring when the project has already been implemented and has reached the final phase. This is a wrong move because the implementation would have to be carried out to the evaluation and assessment whether the campaign was effective or not. Ongoing SEO implementation is important because it will eventually help in the spotting of mistakes and factors which are not benefiting the campaign.
Google’s Firefox extension
In this new Firefox version, the Google extension have the following added functions to it. This include: viewing paid and organic search results as they appear in different cities, viewing paid and organic search results as they appear in different regions, open all results from countries, cities and regions in multiple tabs for easy comparison, viewing paid and organic search results from a specific IP address and viewing paid and organic search results from any US ZIP code.
Stumbleupon
Like any other Social Media sites, Stumbleupon is a great tool that you can use to bring in traffic to your site. But if you misuse it, you will probably get banned from it and be a liability instead of an advantage. With Stumbleupon you can expand your network and share your site to millions of existing users.

The internet is changing at such a crazy phase that sometimes it’s very hard to keep up with the trends that are introduced every once in a while. Some trends will stay but others are just around to create buzz and then die an unfortunate death in the internet world. In this week’s listing, top 5 SEO trends are discussed.
Paying for links
Links are an important component of any SEO campaign and nothing surely beats paying for links if you want to get the best links out there the right way. A lot of SEO sites will employ link farming or just randomly putting links in their sites without any relevance whatsoever to their site and this will lead them to be banned from search engines because doing this can constitute fraud. While we do not endorse link buying: one way of buying links is to directly ask the owner of the website and ask them to rent a link. Another venue that is popular at is paid directories.
Instant SEO
SEO cannot be done instantly, there are countless hours and days spent on the planning, implementation and evaluation processes that it is almost impossible to have your site SEO-ready in just 60 minutes. But this insightful article promises just that as it gives a detailed step-by-step plan that you can use if you want to get your site SEO-ready in this specified time frame.
SEO Consulting
Some companies who have achieved having their site SEO-ready with the help of legitimate SEO consultants fall into the popular pitfall of stopping with the actual consultation after they have established their site. This article argues that the best thing that you can do is to have ongoing SEO consultation even after the main goal has been completed. Advantages of doing such are as follows: oversight of implementation, acquiring more links, consultancy services of SEO professionals, more people helping out with SEO and search marketing analytics.
Sphinn.com
One of the trends and tools that has been with us for a long time already is Sphinn, an online site launched by Danny Sullivan with the primary aim of acting as a social news and networking sites for search engine marketing. Sphinn is truly one trend that still enjoys loyal viewers and patrons despite the bad reviews and predictions that it encountered before its actual launch.
