Search Engine Optimatization (SEO) meets Social Media Optimization (SMO)... a mashup of meetups & conversations. Plus generally a discussion around having a website or blog. This is a recurring special event, as we bring different meetup groups together to discuss SEO as it relates to social & web 2.0 aspects... or is it that we'll discuss how social & web 2.0 can benefit from knowing SEO? The event this month is being organized by Miles of the Washington DC SEO meetup group. Starter ideas and questions for the night's conversation: What are some strategies to get links to your website? What is "Universal Search" and how can you get more traffic from understanding how search results are changing from the traditional list of website links? Are you more familiar with SEO, SMO, or neither? Or both? Is it better to focus on SEO to get traffic, or focus on SMO? What is the difference? Is traffic all that you want, or do you want a benefit that traffic will bring to you/your site? Examples of benefits include branding, signups/registrations/orders, advertiser ROI (including text ads), and How do links from comments (in blogs, on YouTube, etc.) help in SEO?
