If you’re not with us you’re against us.
For the last three weeks, I have been hammering home the necessity of establishing friends and being active in the social networking arena to stay afloat in SMO. What I haven’t mentioned is the potential of sinking like a rock even after the establishment of what you might call ‘the venture out in the social arena.’
The reason for the rapid growth in social networking and SMO is due to the fact that everyone has a voice. Two weeks ago I said, “any traffic is good traffic” which is true from a certain point of view. If you are managing a youtube channel and one of your videos is confrontational and some viewers get their panties in a bunch your video will grow I assure you. However that is a youtube channel. What if we are talking about a blog or site that you have and use as a source of income (I must stress quality over quantity concerning content). If your network of friends is large that voice is large and all positive discussion can become more than negative with simple thumbs down stumbles.
Be pleasing to the network, b/c if you’re not, you are just web 3.0 spam.
