As marketers try to determine appropriate resourcing, one of the big measurement and accountability challenges faced by social media is the anonymity inherent in most social data. But in almost every case, the evidence that social media “works” is based on aggregate, anonymous data.

That’s where software like Compendium comes into play, because they can very much help optimize a blog for the long tail, enabling you to rank top 10 for hundreds (even thousands) of low volume, high value terms. I need to do some serious analysis to see how those 3,126 terms fit together, and dramatically expand my keyword usage.

I’ve been in marketing or advertising (online or otherwise) for 20 years. I’ve been thinking lately about why I got involved in social media. Testimonials are a huge part of the infomercial world, as they are for effective social media. You’re thinking that I’m crazy. But, I’m not.

Social media is fueled by passion, and too many companies try to take elements of their company that aren’t passion-worthy, and attempt to build a social media program around it. Content creation and content marketing will continue to allow companies to capitalize on the fact that every customer is now a reporter.

Many successful social media programs take months (or even more than a year) to really germinate. Social Media is “Viral Marketing&# False, in the same way that a square is also a rectangle, but a rectangle isn’t a square. Can a social media program go viral?

For whom is it more important to have a humanizing social media presence? A B2B software company, or Skittles? Somehow, thousands of B2B companies seem to have come to the conclusion that because they aren’t being mentioned 65 times per hour on Twitter, that social media doesn’t matter to them, or their customers.

The point of tracking software isn’t to determine how many tweets were sent mentioning a company, it’s to figure out what those tweets say, and what the business ramifications are. Too often, standard charts and graphs included in software are just that, standard. They provide numbers, not insights.

There’s a huge gap between the perception of social media as an instant, free, can’t miss marketing opportunity and the reality of social media as a long-term, time-intensive customer loyalty and brand advocacy opportunity.
