SOCIAL EDIA IZA N There are two types of social media optimization methods:
1. Social media features added to the content itself:
Social news and sharing buttons, reviews, and incorporating third-party community functionalities like images and videos
2. Promotional activities in social media aside from the content being promoted:
Blogging, commenting on other blogs, participating in discussion groups, and posting status updates on social networking profiles
PROPER TITLES The title tag is one of the important
on-page keyword elements. Using
the keyword term/phrase in the
very first sentence of the page title
results in a direct correlation with
higher page and site rankings.
