Busby SEO Challenge On Social Media

Posted in Busby SEO Challenge, SEO by DB

One of the favorite tactics of all the Busby SEO Challenge participants is to use Social Media sites to build back links to their contest page. Social Media has increasingly become a potent tool to manage and better your ranking on search engines.

Being the first out of the blocks always has an advantage. Social Media bombardment works best when the topic being posted is fresh. This is the best time to create a buzz without having to think of an angle that nobody has thought of before because you are literally the first out of the block. The chances of your story getting dugg or stumbled upon are greater right in the beginning because in a week or so almost all of the participants would have submitted some version of the Busby SEO Challenge story to all the popular and not so popular social media and digg clones out there.

While many of these sites are becoming more and more difficult to game, it is twice as difficult when you have 100 versions of the same story running amok. Sites like Digg can potentially drive huge traffic and the add on effect of the story going viral being tons and tons of backlinks which is why Digg still is the holy grail of social media sites and will continue to be so with Google looking at a Digg buyout.

The SEO Challenge from Busby has seen some interesting tactics. Social Media is just one of them but nevertheless an important one. Keep tracking all the updates about the Busby SEO Challenge and make sure you subscribe to my blog for more insights into search engine optimization and web hosting.
