I completely and whole heartedly agree with you! I am a big fan of social media on a personal level and I’d like to continue to use and see how businesses can use it to their advantage. I’m guilty of “using a friend’s business” as a test subject, but it’s developed my belief that if they’re not on board or optimized for SEO (which I think will help the bottom line); then there really is no point to managing social media. It’s great to “connect” on a personal level, but as you said: “it won’t help the bottom line”. Developing the company blog, using the right keywords, and using the right CTAs is proving to be impossible when trying to “help a friend out”. Which also leads me to another belief: if the customer is happy w/ what you’re doing, leave well enough alone. Now I completely understand that belief is debatable because I would certainly debate myself, but for my friend, simply connecting is enough. Maybe one day I’ll convince them to get relevant content and simply correct title and meta tags so code is clean, so it’s all congruent but for now I’m working on different wavelengths with them! For them it simply boils down to not understanding the importance of their website and blog. Before I go off on another tangent, I’d love feedback if I wasn’t too general….:)

you are absolutely correct. I think many of the so-called social
media gurus, experts, jedis and evangelists will ultimately fail. They
are not marketers. They are bandwagon jumpers trying to take advantage of new and relatively unknown
mediums. Nevertheless we have seen social media can easily provide extra exposure.

it can go both ways. I started to see more and more business advertise their Facebook page instead of their domain name. It was not only big brands that were doing this, but smaller brands too. I still believe Social media should be just a part of overall marketing effort.

with social media it all depends on what you are offering. Some products and services simply do not convert, ppl on FB etc are not there to buy or search for products. Its simply impulsive decision at best.

My experience with social media indicates that it simply does not work to generate sales. Direct Search engine marketing and optimization is much more efficient.
