I think what a lot of people forget is that content is still king. Social media is a great inexpensive medium for alerting people to your content or driving new people to your content, but too many people mistake twitter or Facebook for the content substitute.

I think any media should only be viewed as part of overall strategy, other wise it never works.

I definitely have to agree as well. Having a well designed, user friendly website should be the staple of all marketing efforts and everything else should stem from that. Social media, SEM, PR, and even traditional media are complements to a company’s website.

Glad to see others ‘coming to their senses’. Technology is great, but there are still only 2 main components to success in any business: 1) a great & useful product; and 2) trusted relationships with potential customers. Tools that enhance these 2 basic components are vital – and everything else is just a fun distraction.

All the new technologies are really just like a tool bag.
To me the analogy is like a carpenter who knows his stuff and has been around for years and then begins adding “new” tools like a electric saw and then a power nailer and so on and so on. Along with that new materials. Marketing is marketing but the big difference is that now it’s more subtle and I think mostly because folks are tired of stuff being shoved down their throat and on the other side of the fence companies not having the advertising budgets they have had in the past.

Social media assists in your site’s traffic, but it sure doesn’t create juice for PR. The good thing about social media such as Facebook is that you can get seen right away by others specially if you just put up a site.

We’re twins. I just wrote the same thing yesterday, SM is not the only game in town. It’s one piece of a very large, complex puzzle. The trick is getting the right mix of ingredients to make all the pieces work together to create the picture you want.
