Could it be that in time SEO will stand for Social Engine Optimization instead of Search Engine Optimization? Perhaps. More likely it will be SMEO or Social Media Engine Optimization though.
Are you shaking your head in the affirmative or dismissively? You’ve never heard these terms unless you were at Happy Pho in Vancouver on April 30, 2011 when they were coined at the Dot Com Pho lunch meeting.
Creative things happen when bloggers and internet marketers get together. Being social or socializing live is an important part of a Social Engine.
The horse power of a Social Engine, which of course nowadays is largely formed through Social Media, is greatly enhanced by meeting people live. (If you want to read more about live meetings read my post about Internet Marketing Networking).
Get to know a few people this way and you’ll see a different, much higher quality of communication with them through social media as well.
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+?
Yes, it’s Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google+ that are most popular and perhaps the most effective social media platforms.
It is these three that are and will be the keys to Social Engine Optimization or if you prefer SMEO – Social Media Engine Optimization.
But you must always remember that this engine will need a regular tune up in the form of live networking or socializing in order to provide the maximum horse power.
Before you continue reading the post, or after you read it, check out the videos below showing parts of the last few Dot Com Pho meetings and the relaxed, creativity supporting atmosphere they provide.
Once you understand the power of live networking, you can then delve into mastering the 3 Top Social Media Platforms.
Facebook Is the Most Popular?
Facebook seems the most talked about and the most popular right now.
Recently I received an email from a very rich and famous internet marketer recommending a Facebook course which made totally ridiculous promises.
Like, “you’ll get 24,000 Facebook likes on your fan page in 24 hours from brand new followers if you do what is shown in the course.”
I think that whoever believes that promise is either totally desperate and totally naive or quite a nut.
I do want to learn everything I can about how to best use Facebook but not from people who make outrageous promises and claims.
How do you feel about Social Media? And how about Social Media Engine Optimization? Will you mention it to your friends and even blog about it linking to this post?
Leave your comments, tweet and bookmark.

Haha, I thought it was fantastic when we coined that term at lunch. Social media is huge and will continue to be huge for some time yet. I find that I enjoy Twitter the most, but more of my closer friends are on Facebook.

Hey Michael,
That lunch conversation was fun when the term appeared. Social media is huge now, I agree and it seems to be getting bigger by the day. It revolutionizes things and even helps revolutions. I’m beginning to enjoy twitter more now but I had some reservations about it because of the insane drive for followers that so many people seem to be on. When it’s used to communicate it’s fun.
Facebook is a lot more complex or at least it can be. That’s why I decided to take a course on it.
Thanks for the comment Michael.
Cheers,
Vance.

I’m your opposite – I like facebook more than twitter. in facebook there are much more options for promoting a business like creating groups, pages, polls etc. it all can help to understand what your customers want, and then suggest them what they need. besides, it’s very easy to find targeted audience if you know how to look for it.
so there are really hundreds of things we all need to learn about facebook for better promotion of our businesses..
Hi Vance,
It’s been a while. How you been? Hope all is good. Social Media is huge!
Some marketers don’t like Facebook. Some marketers hate Twitter. Some marketers don’t use Youtube!
Like them or not if you want to take your business to it’s maximum potential you must hop on board and learn how to use them effectively. It’s what’s in right now!
If a marketer does not utilize social media he will only get left behind.
Checking out the rate of the way social media is growing,from reading your post SMEO is not too far behind.
Thanks for the heads up on this.

HI Terry,
It’s so nice to hear from you after a long pause. You must be as busy as I am. Perhaps there’s something wrong with Twitter. Or you didn’t tweet the post this time. I know usually you do and it shows up, this time it didn’t.
I’m glad that you agree with me that SMEO is coming if it’s not already here. The 3 Social Media platforms, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are having a great impact already and I think that is just the beginning. They are set to grow exponentially or close to that for a long time.
Not using them comes at a big price. Learning how to use them to their fullest is a very smart move.
Take care,

I do not see the fascination with facebook. Is it because I’m old? I use it to keep in touch with friends, which was fine, but I have not found it useful for marketing, I think it may be because in essence I am a private person.
Twitter, on the other hand, works for me, and brings in business. It’s also fun.
But facebook? I don;t get it.

Thanks for your comment. I find it interesting. The way you feel about Facebook is similar to the way I used to feel about Twitter. There is a lot more to Facebook then just keeping in touch with friends. Perhaps you can have a look at the video behind one of the links to the course on Facebook in the post. If you watch it and read some of the things on the page you may be surprised. Just check it out. I’m not telling you to buy anything.
I found that there is more to Twitter too than I originally believed. You already like and use Twitter profitably. Facebook can be used even more profitably, apparently. Before you dismiss it, find out more about it.

Social Engine Optimization instead of Search Engine Optimization sounds interesting. With the evolution of the Internet world these days, I think that is really possible. Regarding Facebook, I only take advices from bloggers who show the step by step procedure and most importantly, those who showcase their own honest results. By the way, I will check your Facebook course as well. Thanks for sharing!

Definitely a good read. I would also like to add that Linkedin is also another great social networking site which companies can use for getting more visibility over the internet.
Facebook is fast becoming the world’s largest social network but I think it will never overcome Twitter unlike what happened to Friendster. As far as I know, almost all companies have already started out a Facebook account which tells how powerful FB is 🙂

May 16th, 2011 at 9:24 am
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your view on this. I’m not sure if FB will overtake Twitter or not. They are very different in what they can do so there is room for both. The big companies do have a Facebook account but that can’t yet be said of the small ones. Many of them do not even have a blog or website. Facebook can be very powerful. I agree on that.Thanks for the comment.
From a marketing perspective, several companies find it difficult to develop their online social media presence.
As social media is about engaging on a direct level with your customers and developing a two way exchange, several companies have troubles developing their platform to be both professional and yet on the same level with people.
One concern several companies have is how social media will affect the overall brand representation of the company.

Hello Vance
Thank you for the response, I used the term “several” as a generalist format, based on discussions I have had with my previous company, my present company and with other companies in our chamber of commerce and on business forums such as the UKBF.
If you prefer me to write on my own perspective, then sure thing. I really was not too aware that I was writing in repetition. Personally I have found developing an online social presence that is reflective of my company and that does not feel artificial to be quite a difficult and challenging activity to set up.

That’s why I’m taking the FB course mentioned in this post.

Social media and social media marketing is such a hard topic for me because there are so many Internet Marketers who sell complete crap products on the topic, and other people who just don’t get how to use it. Social media can be extremely powerful, but only if you know what you’re doing and use it the right way. I think SEO and SMEO are things to be used in conjunction as one is not going to replace the other. No argument from me about social media being important, but not in replacement of important SEO methods. At least that’s my two pennies’ worth of opinion 🙂

My experience has been that unless you really keep up with your Twitter followers you just get a bunch of people following you that have no interest in what you are doing.
Facebook on the other hand is a platform that I really like with the wall and much more ability to share videos, images and have them right on your wall.
I have read around and it appears as though people feel Twitter has reached its peak.
Facebook on the other hand just seems to keep getting stronger and stronger…

Gween´s last blog post ..TEENS AND THE WORLD OF FINANCE
Social Engine Optimization is much classy than to be called Search Engine it’s very common. With social engine this should I think be incorporated to facebook instead of a standalone search engine for ease and a one stop access.
Regarding the role of social media in search engine ranking, at first glance, it may seem that social media is much more reliable for ranking websites than traditional models based on inbound links, keywords, etc. After all, it’s real people looking at your content, instead of bots, which are surprisingly easy for unscrupulous people to fool.
The question is, what will happen when the major search engines begin giving increased weight to Facebook “likes,” etc.? The incentive will be for site owners to get as many as possible – however they have to do it. As a result, the social media system will be gamed just like the old systems.
The main power of social media is in facilitating what has always been the most powerful form of advertising – word of mouth. When it comes to ranking, though, whether it’s SEO or SMEO, it’s still an “arms race” between site owners and search engines, and it probably will be for a long time to come.

I would be surprised if one day it did. With the way social media is dominating the net nowadays, it is pretty obvious that it will eventually come to that. 🙂
Social media search engine?! LOL! no doubt that someday it will be because of how popular social media is nowadays, including the all time favorite, Facebook. It seems that social media took over the net these days, it has been the most visited sites these days, except Google who still rank as no.1 in competition ranking. However, for sure it will come to that point because it truly has been dominating the web.

The power of social media is amazing. It has played a big role in internet marketing and will continue to be. The internet is so dynamic and the rise of SMEO will teach us to maximize social media as a major SEO strategy.
I just launched this new Christian apparel site and it really is the first that I am trying to do the work myself and learn SEO. I have been reading a lot about the Panda updates and I think your coining of the term SMEO is on target with the social interaction that Google wants. Thanks for the article.

Hi Y8,
Are you sure this comment is serious, from the heart and written just for me? I highly doubt it. If you come back to comment again, please write something relevant. Otherwise it will go to trash bin.
Like it or not, on todays day you must take all social media into consideration and use them effectively. That`s the thrue story.
maximum potential you must hop on board and learn how to use them effectively. It’s what’s in right now!
I would like to mention that, apart from the sites that are very popular to us, there are also titanic social networks that take place only in China. Like QQ.
In general, I agree with what you wrote ^^

Web marketing is evolving over time, and especially with the recent roll out of the Penguin by Google, more people have been slapped by Google and in retaliation started seeking other grounds to grow traffic. The one obvious place to start is of course on Social Media portals like Facebook and Twitter.
These are genuinely great ideas in on the topic of blogging.
You have touched some good points here. Any way keep up wrinting.
Right now since Google+ is just new their effectiveness as a helpful SEO ranking booster is not that efficient compares to Facebook. But someday Google with give much priority to it because they own it the same thing happened to Youtube.
Very interesting article about SMEO. It’s new topic for me.
Vance, I love your new term SMEO. Social marketing has become such a critical part of the SEO efforts that a site must make. Thanks for the pointers on how to maximize your Facebook efforts. Very beneficial, Richard
