43. Who has time for this?
• Give to get
– What do you have to offer?
– Who are you following? What do they have to
say? Why don’t you share?
– You don’t have to be online all the time.
• Can you plan ahead?
– Brainstorm, what could you share?
– Do you know of upcoming events?
Think local!

44. Presence – Dealing with
ADTD
• ADTD = Attention Deficit Twitter Disorder
• Your followers aren’t all online right now
• Tweet early, tweet often
• Repeat often when pushing promo / offer
• Be conversational
• It’s a “Social” media (or as I say re: SEO,
some of the best link-building is done offline)
• Highlight smart / witty / informative tweeps
• Do like your mama tol’ ya, don’t be ugly

Yelp (and other review sites)

48. Yelp, Not Just for The Left Coast
• Yelp Powers Siri

– Yelp rankings correlate to Siri results
• Apple Maps

54. Demographic Targeting
• Directly advertise to your core audience based
on profile information
• No organic competition
– Unlike Search Engine Advertising, there is not organic
results to compete with
• Eliminates ad blindness due to oversaturation
– Ads from different industries are often show together
• (Example: marketing, musician fan page, and restaurants)

62. EdgeRank Explained
Facebook visibility is driven by EdgeRank,
FB’s internal algorithm:
– Affinity – demonstrated “like”
– Edge Weight – depth of connection
– Recency – Self-explanatory
– Media Types – Images, Videos, Polls, etc. get
more weight
More fans are better and if they interact,
better still.

Notas do Editor This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. And it ’s completely relevant to good SEO. Ultimately the search engines are trying to decide who to trust. So, if you can appear the most relevant you win. And there ’s no better way to do that, online, in a universally approachable way than with good old fashioned SEO. Social media - #1 online activity in the US according to Nielsen Social Media Report 35% of individuals that primarily use social networking sites for local search do so on a daily basis. Daily deal businesses are seeing repeat customers. Local business search users are still heavily engaged with social local content through usage of consumer reviews – both contributing and using the consumer-generated content.
