- We know the acronym, but what is the #SEO of today.. what does it mean to you?
Great answers to this question! Inspiring, I dare say! Jennifer, I like how you pointed out the importance of that catchy headline. That is truly important in #SEO. It isn’t the only thing, but it is definitely important and if you have to start by focusing on one thing, that is a great place to start. And, Farrah? Yes, know your audience! I’ve been guilty of being too academic and losing my audience when I don’t pay attention.. lol
A1 A balance between the basics of #SEO and infusion of social media (#Relationships!) #SocialCafe #TBW

A1. To me, #SEO today means, who can write the catchiest headline? #socialcafe #TBW— Jennifer Sangalang (@byjensangalang) June 18, 2014 | @socialwebcafe A1: Creating unique language 2 attract those within ur target demographic. Encrypted yet free communication #socialcafe— Farrah Parker (@LeavUrImge2FDP) June 18, 2014 |
- What can we focus on, that is easy and enough #SEO to help us rank?
Great point, Marisa! It is called connecting with those influencers in social media! Great observation. And, there is an interesting symbiotic relationship between social media marketing and SEO. Too deep to delve into in this paragraph, now, but suffice it to say it exists :)
A2 I have found that when I focus on social media, I rank better. #SEO benefits with the fun of social media! #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) June 18, 2014 | A2: social media, I think that it is all about who you know and who you interact with that helps get you to the top #SocialCafe— Marisa (@MoppetMissy) June 18, 2014 |
- Are there any #SEO tips/articles that we have found helpful?
Great points, peeps! I couldn’t have said it better myself! Farrah, you nailed it again, with the reminder that we should use keywords that people actually use. Otherwise, what is the point, right? No one will find us (as you mentioned). And, Mark, great place to start when putting together your content (i.e. writing your articles), meeting that need that exists for your target audience.
MT @LeavUrImge2FDP: A3: Incorporate key words tht ppl actual use. Fancy vocab means little if nobody uses those terms 2 find u. #socialcafe— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) June 18, 2014 | A3. Make sure your content is valuable and meets a need. #SEOtips #socialcafe— Mark Rowan (@Mark_Markets) June 18, 2014 |
- What will we be adding to our list for future #SEO endeavors (training, tips, etc.)?
I like that, Bree. Rather than fretting over what we may or may not have, use what you have to your full advantage, as in the cup is half full, right? And, Mark, I couldn’t agree more with the SEO/SEM investment being an important one! I also like how you mentioned the time factor. Personally, I may write quickly, but that can be misleading. In other words, one should sit down prepared to make the necessary investment rather than trying to just knock out an article in 30 seconds.
A4. It's not something that can be done in afternoon. Great SEO/SEM is a true investment. #socialcafe— Mark Rowan (@Mark_Markets) June 18, 2014 | A4: leverage your resources and use trends to your advantage. Everyone should be using #google alerts, adwords, analytics etc! #SocialCafe— Bree Johnson (@breeabroad) June 18, 2014 |
