Are you paying someone to Twitter or Facebook for you ? – Have you considered the liability and other legal ramifications? Check out our recent blog post about this issue. Sometimes outsourcing this may not be the best option. If you do outsource it make sure it is with someone who has the proper years of experience and training.
Social Media Lead Generation – Mashable published a great article on Social Media Lead Generation yesterday. The two most important points we noticed about this article are: You have to be pointing users to your social sites on your website, and you have to be pointing users back to your website on your social sites. There are some other points in there but these two are key. If you don’t have the two way pushing of traffic going you should talk to us about how to start.

Facebook “Like” buttons everyplace - About two weeks ago we did something pretty cool. We updated most of the Focus pages and blog entries to have Facebook ‘Like’ Buttons. This has been astounding for our traffic. After some careful measuring Facebook has just recently surpassed Twitter for the main social media traffic that comes to our site. Why? Every time you or a friend clicks that Like button a link back to that page shows up on Facebook wall. To see how this works visit our networking page http://allaboutfocus.com/oklahoma-networking/ and look at the top. There have been at least 14 Facebook members that have liked this page. Give it a try – click on the like button. We can add this to your site too. Just ask us !
