Are you confused about Social Media Optimization (SMO)?  Don’t worry; you aren’t alone!

Solid Cactus recently partnered with eMarketing NEPA, a local business networking group, to demystify the enigma of SMO, which is a form of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  Solid Cactus’ smallest and tallest SEO superstars Alicia Magda and Jeff Stolarcyk reviewed best practices and held an open forum discussion.

Common examples of SMO vehicles include Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us, Facebook, LinkedIn, Ning, Squidoo and Twitter.  Check out eMarketing NEPA on Facebook.

Remember to leverage your marketing efforts; for example, Pay-per-click (PPC) and SEO can work together cohesively. Check out the Honda Experiment.   You’ll see that when PPC and SEO were utilized simultaneously, Honda saw a lift in brand awareness, brand recall, and purchase intent.
