How Do Social Media & Search Intersect?
Presented by:
David WallaceCEO/Founder - SearchRank
Does Social Media Prevent the NeedFor Search?
Absolutely not!
Organic/paid search are still huge and by far largest driver of web-based traffic.
Does Social Media Play an Important Role in Search?
Yes indeed!
A review of SERPs for any company already engaged in social media reveals its
intersection with organic search.
One would be naive not to recognize the vast number of people using social media & not try to tap into their audiences.
