    Is Social Promotion Better Than SEO?

    I just realized, I've been working for hours a day to try to compete for page one of Google for social promotion, when it only has 1,000 exact match searches a month worldwide.That's thirty three searches a day, and even if I was first on the first page, I wouldn't get all of those clicks. I got two hundred and sixty unique views today on my site, most of which I got from Twitter. Am I just wasting my time doing SEO for my site, or should I keep making back links, and increasing my Twitter followers as well?
    I know the answer, probably both SEO and social promotion, but when one seems to work so much better than the other, why shouldn't I focus on the method that works?

    Great question.
    Based on my experience, SEO is more of a long-term. Twitter and other media will get you immediate effect, but SEO positioning higher and higher on SERPs will get you consistency.

    I have a quesiton, what about other related keywords and variations? 1000 for your exact + ? for everything else? That adds up, isn't it?

    I think that there is no better option between the two as you have to employ them both so they could work properly.

    Even with SEO, you still have to implement other stuff which would also matter as you should not be just fine with one implementation. What I am trying to say is that though one technique is good already, it would be only an advantage should you decide to work with one more.

    Social promotion may be more direct in promoting the website to people. SEO is more directed at search engines before they are able to reach people. Anyway, that is how I look at it.

    The only difference between social promotion and SEO work is Seo work takes a long time while social promotion can be done in less time as compared to SEO.

    Another thing is that social promotion does not leave a long lasting online footprint while SEO practices usually do.

    SMO: Social media optimization is direct traffic driven process but immediate effort with short term basis, where as seo referral with direct traffic with long term result basis. As per my experience I'll suggest SEO.

    Hello, friends

    Social promotion very well for new website because nobody don't know about there site, so it is activity good but always time will not keep remain. SEO is doing work as per as on behalf Google algorithm updates, because Google is changing alternative algorithm values and new techniques will be find seo for website. Social media increase traffic but not long term only limited period but seo is running contiguously. SEO is providing to website back links whose will build bridge for website.

    Thanks

    Best regards,

    Thumbs up

    Its depends on your website's theme If you are having an e-commerce site then SEO is best for you. If you are having a site of any band, channel, club etc. in which people takes interest then Social promotion is much better. But for any kind of website you have to the both Search Engine Optimization as well as Social Media Optimization.

    SEO creates value in attracting people to wherever you want them to go – your blog or website most likely – and SMO then again let’s people find you in closed networks where the search engines are not allowed to go, and drive traffic from there to your website.

    Where SEO and SMO literally meet, is in optimizing your website or blog for Social Media. Adding RSS/Atom feeds, Facebook, Twitter, Delicious and other sharing methods to your site to increase the possibility of someone carrying the torch for you, is one of the most important things you can nowadays do to gain visibility on the web.

    As a marketer, you should exhaust all means necessary to promote or sell your products. Maybe today, social twitter is making progress in bringing you customers but tomorrow, it could be other one. So keep the two mediums for more exposure and sales for your products.

    It is the time has passed when back link matters to achieve ranking higher. But now search engine has become intelligent and they also picks the right website to show you. I am in favor of social promotion.

    SEO will effect your site for the long time but SMO will effect you for a short period of time. SMO is mainly used to increase the traffic of your site.

    Search Engine Optimization and Social Media Marketing should go side by side to ensure continuous flow of traffic to the website. But Social Media Marketing would give you better conversion.

    Search engine optimisation campaign is better because it can increase the number of visitors for your website for the targeted keyword(s) or phrase. While on social promotion it is just temporary if the site gain more traffic to promote your websites.
