Social Media Optimization (SMO): A New Marketing Phenomenon
Aug 29, 2006 Michael BritoSocial Media Optimization (SMO) is a concept defined by Rohit Bhargava of Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide. The concept of SMO makes perfect sense with the emergence (in some cases, domination) of social media sites like myspace, digg, del.icio.us and youtube. Basically, SMO is about implementing changes to a site (or blog) so that others can easily link to it, tag it, post a comment to it; and then submit it to social bookmarking sites. The result is more visibility in the above mentioned websites, more exposure on Technorati, inbound links, an increase in targeted traffic. The key, however, is having valuable content that “engages” others.
