Social Media: Four Tips to Improve Link Building

Link building process is one of the crucial activities for today's online marketers. This activity is not only important from the customers' perspectives, but also delivers significant Google advantage. Traditionally, organizations are using in-house or outsourced search engine optimization (SEO) activities to enhance their online presence. Now, with the emergence of social media, online marketers have got one more additional tool to promote their online presence.Through efficient social media activities, marketers can improve their link building process, enabling them to improve their Google presence. Let's look at some useful tips that can help marketers improve their link building process through social media activities.

1) Consistent Social Bookmarking: Social bookmarking is one of the premium activities in social media marketing. This not only enables marketers to share their valuable content, but helps them build a much-needed readers' loyalty. Free social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious. Jumptags, and Reddit enable marketers to share as much as content they want with their customers. However, it is very essential to maintain consistency in social bookmarking activities. This consistency will help marketers to stay in front of their customers all the time. Marketers can decide their sharing frequency on a weekly basis or daily basis, but it would be good to have minimum gap between two posts. Social bookmarking activities help marketers build essential online momentum to stay in front of customers along with improved Google presence. 

2) Keyword-rich Content: Content is the king of social media. Precise keyword-rich content delivery helps marketers influence their Google presence by getting higher ranking in the search page. With content from social media platforms, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, appearing on the Google search page, marketers are now getting an extra chance to improve their online visibility. This keyword-rich content also fuels marketers' link building activities. A good content always calls for more sharing opportunities. If marketers are using precise and keyword-rich content pertaining to their vertical, there are more chances that it would get shared by other people who belong to that vertical or are attracted by that content.

3) Be an Informative Resource: Social media marketing is an influence marketing. Any unwanted or undue activity on any social media platform will have negative customer feedback. Hence, it is essential for marketers to share information that is wanted by the customers. Such information sharing helps marketers build good reputation amongst their customers as a rich information source, enabling them to share their marketers' content. Once marketers gain good reputation amongst customers, they have additional chances of improving their link building process. Therefore, sharing a necessary information through social media becomes mandatory for marketers. 

4) Understand your product and customers: I have often seen marketers rushing out to various social platforms to market their product without understanding the its product, and its benefits to the customers. It is very essential for any marketer to explore right audience on these platforms to market his product. It is very essential to pitch right product to the right customers, reducing the possibilities of miscommunication and misunderstanding with the customers. If you know you are pitching your products and services to the right audience, then it will allow you to set up achievable goals in terms of number of customers, number of deals and future prospects.
