I’ve been playing a lot more with social media lately and although I have read it many times before, it never really hit-home until I had personally experienced it. SEO, Social Media (and unfortunately most things in this world) is very-much a popularity contest.

Nice, I went to Sphinn this after reading it and then found out someone beat me to it. Fantastic analogy of social media to traditional advertising.

Thanks Jeff - I think that it’s quite common for people to dive into social media and have unrealistic expectations simply because they don’t really understand how it all works or how to go about acheiving their goals (if they even have goals in the first place).Most of the time they end-up spamming users for votes which isn’t a great way to start an online friendship.So the article was 1. to help explain how things work to people who are new... 2. to hopefully reduce some of the spam that the top users have to wade through on a daily basis.... which then 3. helps to further enhance the quality of the posts and strenghens the bonds between the users within their chosen social media community.
