It’s vital to have a definitive, long-term marketing goal in place for your business in order to truly achieve a greater presence and earn more business within the vertical or verticals it serves.  While virtually every brand can benefit from a solid digital strategy, it is important to remember the various components that are integral in creating your own “game plan”.

I speak with many business owners regarding their web sites, business objectives and challenges and routinely provide them solutions along the line of what an agency can do for them (or even what they can do for themselves).  These discussions are well received and provide a road map for work to be done.  A common theme I hear is that business owners know what needs to be done and have been told some of the strategies before but the drop off then happens after the consult.  So, is it a consultants responsibility to provide insights that both can and cannot be implemented?

Let's be honest, the SEO industry has been marred by scams in the past. Less than reputable companies would often promise things that there was no way of honoring and use unfair measures to attempt to keep their word in order to syphon more money. These promises included getting a company on the first page of Google rankings for a keyword within a short amount of time, saying they'll submit a website to thousands of search engines and, most comically, they have cracked the Goggle algorithm. All of these are not true, involve deceitfulness or require broad interpretation of the promise in order to live up to it. These are just some of the many ways SEO has been linked with scams.

Each month we invite the community to visit our office and learn about SEO. This month we had two excellent presentations: Patty Ryan spoke about Twitter marketing and Chris Le showed us how to scrape the web with Google Docs. In addition to hosting the event at our office, we also stream it online for visitors outside the area. The content was both interesting and easy to understand, as it should be. But there were other lessons to be learned along the way.

It doesn’t take an SEO consultant with his finger on the pulse of the industry to recognize the breakneck speeds of which SEO is changing. In the last two months alone, Google has announced a total of 65 changes to its network features ranging from Panda updates to page ranking, SafeSearch, and a number of other user and SERP-oriented functions. The incredible thing is that five dozen revisions in the span of two months actually equates to a fairly slow couple months for Google.

On Sunday, a pizzeria owner from Fort Pierce, Florida named Scott Van Nuzer was responsible for one of the most notorious photo opportunities in Barack Obama's Presidency and the 2012 campaign thus far.  When Van Nuzer bearhugged Obama in front of several onlookers and photographers at his restaurant, Big Apple Pizza; he most likely expected to experience a rapid influx of positive mentions of his establishment online.  However, the social media backlash that the photo generated may have actually had negative impact on his business.

When you watch TV this week, you may see ads for a new show called Elementary, which is another take on the original Master of Deduction, Sherlock Holmes. In the past five years, Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective stories have been adapted several times in film and television, and their popularity made me wonder how Mr. Holmes would handle SEO. In particular, I wondered how he would see social signals in the overall scheme of things. While nobody knows for certain what Google's algorithm is, there are certainly some clues that might help us deduce social signals. Let's take a look at what we do know.

Networking is awesome.

Our first meetup, Agile SEO South Jersey, was amazing. Richard Ortiz and Bruce Rymshaw gave great presentations, both belting out actionable insights over the noisy bar crowd. This was the first public speaking opportunity about SEO for both Rich and Bruce, and they nailed it.

In my last blog post, I discussed the significance of "#NBCFail" and "#Rule40" and their impact on the social media landscape as of late.  The 2012 Olympics have affected the news, sports, entertainment and pop culture and have even influenced advertising and marketing on a global scale.  Throughout the Web and more specifically, social media, this year's Games have recently become the most discussed topic amongst the worldwide Internet community.  However, the historic landing of the Mars Curiosity rover on Monday may have overshadowed the Olympics' overwhelming social engagement levels and subsequently altered the focus of many online marketers and advertisers.

The 2012 Olympics have begun and around the world, social media engagement levels have reached nearly record highs since the opening ceremonies.

For those of you who may have missed my recent appearance on FOX News to discuss Penn State's reputation management issues, I mentioned the value of social media and its role in their online identity.  In social media, in the SERPs and in the press, PSU faces a challenging road to re-establishing their brand.  While Penn State's focus at present may be short-term, their reputation crisis is not.  Reputation management should be thought of an ongoing investment that requires consistent monitoring and maintenance.

On Friday, Google wrapped up its annual I/O Developer Conference in San Francisco. From the latest Android update to the announcement of the Nexus 7 tablet, the company revealed many of its upcoming offerings to a largely positive reaction from those in attendance. Now that I/O has come to an end, the Internet is abuzz with Google-related news and the impact of the conference looks to be significant to Google users as well as the entire SEO community.

Apple and Microsoft may be long-time competitors, but they will soon have a common denominator in Facebook. Both companies recently announced the upcoming release of their new mobile operating systems, which are both set to feature extensive Facebook integration. For Facebook, its users and digital marketers, this is undoubtedly great news. However, it will also substantially impact other brands, as well.

On May 20, Microsoft officially entered the social media arena with the public launch of so.cl.  Just over a month later, the network has largely failed to gain initial momentum and has seen only minimal growth.  Despite backing from Microsoft and extensive integration into both Windows Live and Facebook, so.cl (pronounced "social") has not experienced early rapid expansion.  Recently, networks such as Google+ and even the still-in-beta-phase Pinterest have achieved impressive followings in a relatively short time span.  Although so.cl has only been widely available for five weeks, its underwhelming presence is somewhat surprising.  However, so.cl does have potential and could succeed with the development and implementation of Internet marketing initiatives.
