Social Media – Heaven or Hype?

Honestly social media is a bit of both. Heaven and hype. And if you’ve not been over to http://www.liveblueprints.com/seotalk/seo-proof-not-promises/ to view the fuller picture on social media please do so.
What does bother me is the push many gurus put on the next new thing when often many tactics that have been around for awhile actually work better. That’s the hype.
And I’ll confess, I don’t see the point of many of these social media content sites. My feeling is why make improvements on rented property? There’s no point in it when you can cheaply own your own site and rank it over and over again for the same long tail terms the social media content sites rank on. And you never get surprised by your own sites suddenly placing ‘no follow’ tags on all your outbound links like Hubpages did recently.
So start with the above and stay tuned for more on this subject from me.
Here’s to your success!
