Elliot Jones on SEM SEO PPC and SMO do you know your initialisms and acronyms

Like everything nowadays, online marketing is growing and becoming an ever more complex creature. From the humble beginnings of simply entering keywords into your meta tags, through to getting the right keyword density for your content and making sure you’ve got not only links to your site but relevant, themed links that the search engines will take notice of, search engineering looks to be moving up another notch on the proverbial online marketing scale.
Indeed, now your keyword meta tags mean little or, in most cases, nothing, and it’s all about the network you create with other sites.
So what’s next? Well, marketers love acronyms, so it is with little surprise that the newest kid on the block in the world of online marketing has been dubbed SMO – or Social Media Optimisation – and is set to form a necessary step in the constant battle to maintain those top spots in the SERPs (another online marketing acronym – Search Engine Results Pages). Suddenly, as peoples use of online media changes and develops, so the requirements of your online marketing activity and visibility does too. Getting viewed on link sharing sites like del.icio.us is becoming vital, even to a comparable level to the search engines, and banner advertising online (the most traditional area of online marketing) is now in stiff competition with the creation of widgets (a website plug-in or added function) as a means of generating business.
So remember when you’re building your online empire, knowing your acronyms can be a powerful tool – and the latest addition, SMO, looks set to beat SEO, PPC and SEM hands down – it’s working for the likes of Facebook.com, so why shouldn’t it for you?

Re: Which movie will make the most money this summer? - [quote="BuzzAroundBooks":33wg0sys]Which movie do you think will make the most money this summer and why? Moreover, what do you think its box office total will be? Personally, I'm most looking forward to watching the new Batman movie ("The Dark Knight"), but I think "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's" brand and family adventure appeal will help it to reign supreme at the box office.[/quote:33wg0sys] I've always enjoyed Indiana Jones and have heard good things about it, but the new Batman franchise has done well and it was Heath Ledger's last film. Sad to say, that will help the box office numbers. The early reviews all said that his performance was fantastic, which will also help the box office. Chris
