My take on why social media can be good for SEO and SEOs.

Obviously, this is not an exhaustive list. And should not be the totality of social media. SM used well can help to achieve objectives but only as a tactic and not the end in its own right.

You still need to have a good site/product/service etc etc to win!

Heres the 5 I can think of this Tuesday evening.

1. It gets your brand out there and raises brand searches, which you should rank for.
2. It gets you noticed by a larger audience, who may be influential online people or even real customers.
3. These social sites are appearing in the SERPs. Need to get yourself everywhere, all of the time!
4. Being seen to be doing things! Making your company look innovative.
5. Oh and its more fun than your day job!

Any more?
