Social Media Scares More than CNN
According to an article from Webpronews.com, “CNN President is really afraid of Social Media.” The article states that the President of CNN feels “far more worried about the 500 million people on Facebook than I am about two million people watching Fox.”
If the President of CNN feels threatened by Social Media, just think for a moment how the President of Google must feel. As I have stated several times before, Social Media is so big that big search may be at a point of transition. Already, Google has endeavored to engage a little social activity of its own with its Buzz offering. All of big search is devoting many recourses catering to Social Media in order to stay current.
I must repeat myself that the old methods of link building are just about dead. Social Media has many choices, some 500 plus and who really knows? These choices are networked for a real and powerful interactive media. Social Media is in and to be harnessed by people who know what they are doing. Content is paramount and necessary. At least in my model to get listed quickly, these are what I currently use. There are other ways to do it, I am sure but for my skill set and to my knowledge, Social Media is the way to succeed.

Search Indexing in Flux – Minor Shakeup « Serpeo-Seo Philadelphia, Pa., Princeton, NJ Website Design
[...] Google is indexing the social sites almost immediately although the SERPS are not receiving the data for reliable and competitive movement in the listings. Google is also indexing the press releases and articles from many outlets relatively quickly. The articles are making it quickly into the SERPS and allowable one-way back-links contained within the press releases and articles are being followed and the boost from carefully placed text links are noticeable within 30 days on existing sites. Blogs have to stand on their own and are not favored in Google unless self generated big traffic ensues. The staying power of the social site blurbs and bookmarks seem to have to do with the rating systems employed by the respective sites and the afforded credit or “link juice” seems limited to this criteria. The power of a press release or article, if it is well written, lasts for a long time and is still the best organic tool in your arsenal for regular SERP improvement. [...]
