Search engine marketing vs social media marketing

When marketing for a website or a blog there are usually two choices to choose from, the first is search engine marketing which involves optimizing your content so that I comes up first in search results and social media marketing where you market your website to niche that is concentrated in a certain social media website.

Most blogs and websites use only one of these methods because for each one of them the content has to be optimized in a different way. For example, for search engine marketing your article title must match a popular search keyword while for social media marketing your title must be eye catching and interesting enough to attract audience.

My first website gets more than and I am using both methods to bring traffic to my website. In this article I will show you how you can use both ways too.

How to use both Search engine marketing and social media marketing

The trick you must do in order to use both methods together is to optimize your articles normally for search engines but to submit them with different titles to social media websites.

Most social media websites will allow you to choose a title for the article you are submitting and the good news is that it doesn’t have to match the title you have in your article which in this case will be optimized for the search engine.

The other method you can use is to pick up one article each once in a while and optimize it for social media websites. By doing this your overall strategy will be search engine marketing but with some social media marketing in between.

Which method is better?

Search engine marketing is a guaranteed method for bringing traffic if you have done the optimization correctly. If your articles were correctly optimized then they will come up first in Google for sure but even if your articles were great its not a guarantee that it will get good votes in social media websites.(for more information read Bringing traffic to your website using social networking websites).

In short, its strongly advised to depend heavily on search engine marketing and to use social media marketing every now and then.
