Michelle Macphearson has been discussing a social media slap from Google in her latest video.
This is affecting all those sites that have all their backlinks solely from social media and bookmarking sites…and this is where all those who have put all their eggs in one basket, flogged the dead horses etc etc are probably going to cry. This isn’t a social media slap on anyone using social media, and doesn’t mean social media is dead by any stretch of the imagination.
One word: DIVERSIFY
If you have all your links from one type of site it will be a problem, always combine the solid old school seo stuff: articles, press releases, remote content as well as the new: social media sites, video and vary the content you post on them.
Actually a great combination is Social Media Press Releases, how’s that for combination of old and new!
Social Media Press Releases include video, pocasts and all the functions of a blog. One idea worth looking at if you want to avoid the high prices involved with social media press releases is link from your normal press releases on the wires to a specialized multi-media newsroom section on your blog which acts like a social media press release. This would give you a lot more SEO benefit as well.
