The Growth of Social Media Marketing

If this ever happens, it will be front page news. Social marketing sites such as Twitter, Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, Linkedin, Ning, Digg, and Stumbleupon have a long way to go before they're treated with the same reverence as Google.

Far from delivering the kind of targeted prospects that professional SEO delivers, social marketing sites are very akin to product review sites in that people share thoughts and opinions. Certainly purchase intention can be swayed by social media chatter and posts, videos, and pictures, yet the people offering information are often strangers and not credible voices. People enjoy social media sites and they are in fact a form of entertainment, and a place to connect to people of similar interests and values.

The future of social media sites may be in niche topics. The more finite the topic of interest, the more credible and valuable the site will be. These sites may offer their own search engines which scan its own site and search the web as well. Social network search engines however will have to be sophisticated enough to produce quality results and control spam attempts.

Twitter is a very popular site, however users are limited to posts of less than 140 characters. This means the quality of the content will be shallow and temporal. Microblogging sites that supercede Twitter will undoubtedly attempt to create more value for searchers. It is impossible to ignore search as a force in our modern lifestyles.

Social media marketing can't overtake search engine optimization. It can only be used as an extension or partner of SEO. Currently, social media marketing is in its infancy yet it is causing quite a wave of interest among marketers and SEO consultants.
