Social media optimization

Social media optimization: refers to the use of a number of social media outlets and communities to generate publicity that increases the awareness of a product, brand or event. Social media optimization includes using RSS feeds, social news and bookmarking sites, as well as social media sites, such as Twitter, video and blogging sites. SMO is similar to SEO (search engine optimization) in that the goal is to create awareness and create a specific action, such as driving traffic to a web site. Social media optimization refers to optimizing your websites and content in terms of sharing across social media and network sites. Usually social search and social proof go hand-in-hand with social media optimization.
