5. AboutNatural Seeding & Paid Seeding 5

6. Within Seeding We Define Two Methods Natural Seeding Natural seeding is earning attention, almost like digital PR: the uptake and reach depend on the creativity of your content. Success can be estimated upfront, but not guaranteed. The benefits of natural seeding? The content is embedded - so your awareness and Google results will keep growing organically - for many months or much longer. Paid Seeding Paid seeding is buying attention, like media buying: your reach is guaranteed within a period. Examples: video views or blogvertorial. The benefits of paid seeding? It will speed up and guarantee your reach. Our embed tactics ensure organic growth. So even when your media budget is used, your social and Google awareness will keep growing. 6

8. In stage 1 our social specialists will benchmark and rate the content with a viral score between 0 and 10. At low rated content, we advice to use paid seeding as well. At high rated content, we will estimate your ROI based on natural seeding efforts only. In stage 2 we create a targeted social media strategy in which we wrap your content in compelling stories that will connect to influencers, fans and their followers. To create extra buzz, we might also propose to create a buzz toolkit. In stage 3 we create you a smart social media plan, by using our golden asset: our social media planning database. It contains not only the ComScore top 10 - but over 350,000 social sites ranked by: country, theme, topic and passion. In stage 4 we create the relevant meta data foryour content: title, descriptions tags and link to your site. In stage 5 we start to upload and seed the content to: local and global video portals (YouTube, DailyMotion etc)., influential bloggers and micro bloggers (Twitter etc), forums and communities, social networks (Facebook, MySpace etc) , social bookmarking sites (Digg, del.icio.us etc), RSS, E-mail and more. In stage 6 the ViralTracker dashboard will show the growth, reach, impact and spread of your content for a period of 3, 6 or 12 months. Warning: watching your results in ViralTracker might be addictive  Social seeding is like growing and nurturing plants: they will need water, attention and time to grow. So please bear in mind that the viral incubation period for seeding can be 21 days. 8 Seeding Step By Step

Like i.e. blogging, photos, videos, social interactions, sharing buttons etc. The benefits of SMO? The content is embedded in social sites, so your online awareness and Google results will keep growing organically.
