Creating a web presence and building you r Google
CV is extremely difficult without using social, consumer generated
media. Here is some insight into areas for optimisation and interaction:
This incredible micro-blogging platform is fast
becoming one of the most important tools
for online marketing and branding professionals. Use Twitter to release
information about your products or services, or simply engage in industry
discussions. Don’t Tweet unnecessarily,
making pointless comments won’t help your brand much.
One of today’s most popular online social
destinations, Facebook is one of the
most important off-site areas for branding. With profile pages, fan pages
and groups at your disposal, you can spread word of your products or services without
spending a cent. Similar social
networking sites which could also be of help include Bebo, MySpace
and Orkut.
Having a blog is one of the most important things to
do towards the success of your brand online. But merely blogging often isn’t
enough. Spend time reading and
researching blogs which are similar to yours, and engage with audience on
the comment boards and link back to yours – but remember to never spam.
Keep your comments on the blogs of others short,
interesting and relevant to the topic – never use the opportunity to create a
quick link. Not only is a spam-like link likely to be deleted, but it doesn’t portray a good image, whereas
having an industry related conversation with a competitor helps both parties.
These sites are great for syndicating your online content
and channelling traffic to your site. For the best results, don’t simply submit
and vote for your own stories and blog posts – get involved in the community by submitting the content of others,
engaging in the discussions boards and generally being an industry voice while
also creating links. Some popular bookmarking sites include Sphinn, Reddit
and Digg.
Social
Media: Multimedia
Depending on your branding needs, you may be able to
use some of the many audio-visual consumer
generated media (CGM) sites out there to increase your online visibility. Some
of these sites include Last.FM (music
blogging service site), Flickr (photo
sharing site) and YouTube
(video sharing site).
Remember to keep all of your profile information
consistent, and link between them for optimum
branding success. Link each to your LookupPage profile so visitors will
have all the information they need about you.
By having profiles on each of these social media sites
as well as a LookupPage profile you
will soon see a vast improvement on your Google CV.
Face book is considered one of the important social media adopted method , its required to brand your image with profile pages , fans and groups .
