This document outlines a social media and SEO campaign idea that combines user generated content and link building. The idea is to 1) grow a large Facebook audience, 2) have that audience create content and build links by participating in competitions for prizes, and 3) leverage that user generated content and associated links on websites, blogs, forums and more to boost SEO and engagement. A case study example of a pet food company that implemented this strategy is described, which resulted in increased sales, thousands of user-generated stories that improved SEO rankings, and ongoing engagement of fans.
