The Human Algorithm
Google is adapting PageRank for people…
YouTube is the second
most popular online
search engine…
Facebook and Twitter are
quickly replacing Google
amongst core users as their
primary source for search…
How does your brand
perform in real-time and
social search?
In YouTube, we’re presented with a window that
serves-up ―Related Videos.‖
YouTube employs a sophisticated algorithm that
matches videos within the network to the video
you’re currently viewing.
It is mostly based on the title, description and
tags associated with each video.

I believe Social Objects are
the future of marketing
- Hugh MacLeod, @GapingVoid
Social Objects are the catalysts
for conversations and
occurrences — online and in real
life — and they affect behavior
within their respective societies
Social Objects are…
• The pictures in Flickr
• Videos on YouTube
• Events in Upcoming or Plancast
• Updates in Facebook
• Bookmarks in Delicious
• Votes in Digg
• FourSquare check-ins
• The docs in Scribd
• Reviews in Yelp
• Subject matter in Ning
• Thoughts shared in the comment of a
blog or the post itself, etc.
We Become Media
Every company is a media
company because every
company publishes to its
customers, its staff, its
neighbors, its communities.
- Tom Foremski
Earned media: the result of our owned, paid, and participatory media
programs and is reflected in the blog posts, tweets, status updates,
comments, and ultimately actions of our consumers, peers, and
influencers.
Owned Media: media that is essentially, controlled by the brand.
Owned objects are social objects produced by the company and
introduced to each network in a variety of formats, text, video, audio,
experiences, etc.
Paid Media: The visibility we purchase, such as promoted Tweets,
display ads, paid search, and sponsorships.
Participatory Media: An extension of earned and owned media,
participatory media takes the shape of a hosted hub where brand
representatives and our communities can interact and collaborate.
Sponsored Media: Fuses owned, paid, and earned media. Sponsored
media is one that is championed by companies such as Izea, MyLikes,
Ad.ly, Twittad. Sponsored media can take the form of paid tweets, blog
posts, appearances, and featured objects on targeted profiles.

Introducing the new CEO:
The Chief Editorial Officer
We are now in the business of
creating and distributing
social objects
We Must
Connect
the Dots
In the social web, we are presented with a
privilege to establish meaningful dialogue and
collaborative relationships with the people who
define our markets.
Consumers have choices. We’re not part of
those decisions where we’re not present.
Inbound marketing serves as the bridge between
those seeking information, direction and insight
and those willing to provide guidance and
support.
Excerpt, Inbound Marketing, Brian Solis
Social Media Optimization
SMO =
The distribution of social objects
and their ability to rise to the top
of any related search query,
where and when its performed.
SEO + SMO = Amplified
findability in the traditional and
social Web
Social Media Optimization
improves the ―findability‖ of
Social Objects
SMO specifically is defined by the
elements ingrained in each social
network…this is referred to as
Metadata
Metadata is the data that defines other data.
Web 2.0 is built on metadata, leveraging ―the
crowds‖ to classify and organize the volumes of
user-generated content uploaded to social
networks and blogs everywhere.
We became the web’s librarians and helped to
index the volumes of social objects to help
others discover them quickly and easily.
Yes, tags, descriptions and keywords
collectively contribute to the ―discoverability‖ of
social content.
Headlines and title tags should have
keywords up front
The art of headline writing is not unlike
that of traditional media.
It must grip the viewer immediately and
compel them to act and hopefully share.
In Social Media, the headline must also
contain the keywords that explicitly
match the search patterns of the people
you hope to reach
Descriptions
Descriptions further refine the context
of the social object to entice visitors
to view and hopefully circulate it
amongst their social graph
Tags
Keywords are the terms that people use
to find relevant information in traditional,
social and real-time search.
The keywords used by customers and influencers are not
necessarily what we think…
The tag list should contain a series of
keywords that extend beyond the list you
might have proposed.
Make sure to include other keywords
related to the branding of the product,
market, as well as its competition.
Tags are keywords that further group and
organize the object within the social
network.
Tags are based on folksonomy, a system
of classification derived from the practice
and method of collaboratively creating
and managing tags to annotate and
categorize content within specific
networks.
The tag list should contain a series of
keywords that extend beyond the list you
might have proposed.
Make sure to include other keywords
related to the branding of the product,
market, as well as its competition.
Tags also improve the categorization and
grouping/association of keywords in Twitter
search…it’s called the #hashtag
Syndication or
Content Distribution
Content distribution establishes
presences in strategic networks and
points back to the original content to
increase visibility and findability.
Syndicating Social Objects
Social
Object
Employ a strategy that promotes the
content within those networks dedicated
to the sharing and promotion of social
objects, such as a Digg, delicious, and
StumbleUpon.
Inserting the object into the network isn’t
enough however…
Links
Links are the currency of the Web…
As in SEO, links help fuel traffic and
weight of social objects as measured in
views, ratings, retweets, likes and
favorites.
This criteria portrays stature and
engenders credibility for steering
perception when someone ―stumbles
upon‖ the object.

The art and science
of influence
Viral Marketing
doesn’t work, tell
everyone you know…
Word of mouth marketing is
not created, it is co-created

The influence that a social member holds is an interesting thought - Just like Rank authority in traditional search has a stronger voting power when coming from a Google high rank site - Possibility of ranking the individual providing the vote - favourite - retweet - ranking etc Personal scores and rank potential to include people rather than just web pages in the algorithm...Mnnn - Now that is what I call great personal branding (or rather should I say Influence). 3 years ago
