Social Network Marketing vs. SEO

Well I’m sure this will stir up some debate but I still have to post my feelings about Social Network Marketing as it seems that many people have abandoned conventional SEM as it is more work and costly compared to spending all day on social network sites making contacts or increasing the number of “followers” they have.

Getting quality leads from Twitter traffic is like having thousands of people drive past your Billboard on the highway and hoping someone notices what you have to sell. It takes a lot of traffic on a great corner to get much out of it. Being an SEO guy who still believes in letting Google bring me the most highly targeted traffic available I don’t like to spend much of my time on social network marketing but I don’t ignore it because it all helps.

Google Analytics stats show that visitors from Twitter spend less time on a website than conventional search engine traffic as they are not actually looking for your product or service but probably only curious, so judge your marketing time wisely!
