		<description>I especially like #4, 8, &amp; 9 in those 16 rules which I updated in the article. I don&#039;t disagree with the others I just do believe that building links take time and one should not get links for the sake of links and page rank. After all who am I fooling? We all want better page rank but at the end of the day I would rather have 10 people interested in what I have to say than 100 visitors that happen to click on the link with no real intent. Then again this would open the discussion into what is intent and that is for another article. Thanks Lee and please stay warm ;) we need your wonderful input.</description>

		<description>The way I look at it, &quot;If it can be searched on, it can be optimized.&quot;

Traditional SEO benefits greatly from social media via content and links.  SEO can help social networks grow through search based discovery.  They go together.

Search Google for &quot;social media optimization&quot; without quotes and you&#039;ll find a good article by Adam Singer on toprankblog.com that revisits the 16 rules Rohit Bhargava inspired when he coined the SMO phrase. Are they still true today as 3 years ago? You decide.</description>

		<description>Another SEO Geek I love it. Bottom line is you have to be more than an SEO provider if you intend to keep up with the competition, and hopefully understand &quot;whoever commands the attention, commands the action - and Social Media is where peoples attention is focused.&quot; I couldn&#039;t have said that better! Thanks Frank your comment and kind words are one of the reasons I keep this blog going.</description>

		<description>Great post - and so very true. If you are not in the SMO game - you are being left behind. I love SEO, but it is only part of the equation needed to get your stuff noticed. Remember: whoever commands the attention, commands the action - and Social Media is where peoples attention is focused.

Excellent job!
