The rage all over internet forums lately seems to be social media marketing through Twitter, Facebook, and related forums. Personally, I am just starting my journey down the social media path and can see the power it holds, but what most people don’t realize is that many of the same ways you brand yourself through social media can help your search engine rankings. For instance, you write and article and post it on one of the sites and it gets some buzz, which is great. You don’t realize that if you have a blog, you could post the article their first, then post it to your social site (with proper anchor text) and transfer that buzz to the content on your site.

Ok Eric, Why should I care?

The bottom line for everyone in the MLM business is that they all need a flood of leads to experience success. The way to do this is to combine several marketing avenues in order to get to the number of leads you are needing to meet your goals. So, if you are already investing time and effort into social media, why don’t you take it one step further and get the SEO benefit as well?

Did You Know?

Is has recently been proven that nearly 50% of Big G’s ranking formula comes from social media relevance. You used to be able to set your pages, title tags, and meta tags right to rank for certain keyword phrases, but not any longer. You could spend thousands getting a pretty site and have great content on it, but if your stuff isn’t getting any love from social media, then you will likely never get any rankings.

Wait! I though SEO was really hard.

Capitalizing on the SEO benefits of social media are not really that hard. Instead of posting your great content directly on a social media site, you need to post it on something you control. A blog, Hub page, or Squidoo lense could be one these places. Put your info on there and then post a link back on the social media sites you are working. If you do this, you can capture the buzz your content is getting where it will directly help you the most.

Bottom Line

The vast majority of people using online marketing as a primary MLM lead generator are failing to take advantage of the free traffic from SEO. Picture this: You decide to modify your marketing plan a little to be more SEO friendly. After a couple of months of continuing to produce quality content and getting it voted on within social sites, you start experiencing the initial wave of new leads that are coming directly from Oogle just cracking the traffic flood gates. Eureka!!

2 reasons holding people back from using SEO are they think it is way to difficult to learn and most people want instant gratification. While the results aren’t instant, the benefits will pay dividends longer than any other free MLM lead generation source.
