In today’s context social networking is about connecting with people at a low cost with existing devices and technology. Until a few years ago it used to be that you had six degrees of separation to connect with anybody in the world. With the advent of networking tools and search it has become easier to span those six degrees of separation and the ability to connect is now just a couple of mouse clicks away.

In India social networking might evolve differently when compared to the USA or other countries. But, before delving deeper into how social networking will evolve in India let us look at what is social networking.

What is Social Networking? Social network is defined as “a social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of relations, such as values, visions, idea, financial exchange, friends, kinship, dislike, conflict, trade, web links, sexual relations, disease transmission (epidemiology), or airline routes.” (Wikipedia)

This social networking concept spread to the computer world in the 1970s when researchers envisioned people connecting and interacting via computers. So in the pre-Mosaic and pre-Netscape days of the197s to mid-1990s you had Usenet groups for various interests. For instance, soc.culture.indian was a Usenet group where many Indian students in the USA got their questions answered about travel, graduate programs or connecting with their classmates. Out of soc.culture.indian grew various Usenet groups for different Indian states and languages.

During the dotcom boom you had social networking groups like sixdegrees.com, classmates.com , epinion, and others. What was different about these groups was an instant ability to browse and search through archives in an easy way. Then in early 2002 a new avatar of social networking took off in a big way with the launch of Friendster, Orkut, MySpace, Facebook and Linkedin among others. What these sites have in common is a rich (including multimedia) feature set that allows for sharing information easily and some sites allow for integration of third-party widgets and applications. So, social networking in its different avatars has been around in the USA for over 30 years (if you factor in the Usenet groups.)

Viral Marketing India:
In India social networking is a relatively new concept due to obvious reasons: low penetration of PCs and laptops and patchy broadband connections. What that means is that while people were aware of these social networking groups and applications they had limited means to access them. However in the last four years the social networking landscape has changed quite a bit in India. In a relatively short period of time certain social networking sites like Orkut and Fropper appear to have taken off, and new ones like Linkedin and Facebook are beginning to find traction among Indian users. What is driving this traction is still unclear. Is it the novelty of being able to network with people? Or, is there a genuine interest driving this adoption?

You can host your vblog, videos site or video blogs with the perfect web host who can give good uptime and prompt custom support? We highly recommend hosting your content sites, forums, CMS, videos and blogs with hostgator or bluehost.

Stage 1 - Research

The first stage of a successful social media strategy should involve identifying industry related areas of the web that will provide opportunities to create a buzz online for your clients industry. These include looking at niche social bookmarking sites, blogs, forums and social networking sites. You should have records kept on file of what sites work well for which industries, this will save you time in the long run, this file will eventually get very large (trust me!).

Stage 2 – Registrations

Once sites have been identified that meet the projects criteria the long registration process entering clients details in profiles takes place. This will usually involve entering a “homepage” URL, company logo and a brief summary of what the company’s goals are. Any additional promotional material would also be useful to help build up the brand within the different communities.

Stage 3 – Building trust

The key to creating a successful social media strategy is the relationships you build and the trust that you earn. When suggesting sites or information it should not immediately be the clients site or link bait, it should consist of industry related material. Commenting on related blogs, starting forum threads about the industry should also be created. This should be maintained for a period of time before moving on to the next stage. You should take a genuine interest what you comment on and write about, no-one likes a fibber!

Stage 4 – Release link bait

Once there is a level of trust associated with the company profile that is the time when the link bait or urls should be posted. Using this method will ensure that the information that is posted will not be labeled as spam by the various site administrators or site owners. By this time the profiles created will already hold some weight within the various communities which will ensure a level of traffic.

Stage 5 – Generate traffic + links

Once the urls and link bait have been posted this should immediately create incoming traffic to the client’s site or landing page. The secondary goal of such a strategy or possibly primary goal depending on client will be the natural links generated as a result of such a strategy. If like minded users find the link bait interesting then by all accounts they should then bookmark the link on their own social media site, be it a blog, social bookmarking site or forum. This will additionally create more incoming traffic to the site and generate a number of links that will help with the clients search engine positions for selected keywords.

Stages 3, 4 and 5 should be maintained over a longer period of time to keep impacting the search engine results positions. If this is not repeated throughout an extended time period then the increase in search engine positions will only be temporary.

Social bookmarking is the alternate ways to get more traffic for a site. It is a powerful tool because it will help get more traffic , back links fora site and be familiar to the social bookmarking groups.It is the popular way to store and to share links through the Internet.Many social bookmarking services allow users to subscribe to web feeds based on tags, or collections of tag terms. This allows subscriber to become aware of new resources for a given topic .It is the tools to use along with search engine optimization to make their website visible. The more a web page is submitted and tagged, the more chances it has of being found.

Here’s the list of social bookmarking sites that will surely help with your site.

Digg. - This is the best social bookmarking site .This is the technology website that combines social bookmarking, blogging and RSS. With digg users submit stories for review and the editor
to decide which stories go on the homepage.

De.li.cious- It keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music and more on and access them

Listible. This is the technology website that can add links of your products and services and share links with friends.

Technorati. This is the authority on what’s is going on the world of web blogs. This is the site that combines social bookmarking, tagging, and blogging.

When it comes to finding great (and not-so-great) content on the Internet, social bookmarking sites are the primary way to do it. A social bookmarking site is a website that allows users to post, list or otherwise share content they love. Most social bookmarking sites require that you become a member first, and others have more stringent criteria for admission, but for the most part, they are free to all Internet users. If you’re new to social bookmarking sites, here’s a list of my top ten.

Slashdot.com

I like Slashdot not only because it is the original social bookmarking site, but also because they filter the content that users are allowed to post. Many of the fervent Slashdot users have moved on to other bookmarking sites because they don’t want to deal with the waiting periods to have content posted. Much of the content bookmarked on Slashdot are technology-related articles and sites, so it’s a great place to go if you are troubleshooting technological problems or if you’re interested in the latest software. It has a clean, professional look and is easy to navigate.

Popurls.com

If you don’t like visiting dozens of social bookmarking sites every day, Popurls.com is a great way to save time and effort. Essentially, this website is a combination of about two dozen different bookmarking sites and allows users to bookmark sites in a “one-shot” deal. It isn’t very easy to read because of the blue-on-black layout, but you can find more information in one session than you can going to several different sites.

Simpy.com

This is probably my least-favorite social bookmarking site because it’s difficult to read and navigate. Simpy.com is a hodge-podge of technology-related and eclectic links to different sources of content. You can tag bookmarks that others have created or save them to your own list of bookmarks. You can also search related to others’ links from the website.

YouTube.com

If you’re looking for videos, YouTube.com is probably the social bookmarking site you want to visit. It’s clean, well-laid-out and it has amazing search functionality. Not only can you post your own videos and view others’ videos, but you can also leave comments or copy the script to paste videos on your own personal or business site. Even some of the major news networks are using YouTube as a source of video.

Flickr.com

While YouTube is all about videos, Flickr is dedicated to photos. You can post photos, search for photos posted by others or comment on photos you find. Most of the pictures found on Flickr are subject to public domain licensing rights, which means that you can use them free of charge and with no royalties. As social bookmarking sites go, this is a great one for pictures.

There are a lot of social bookmarking sites or web page bookmarks specialized to specific subject or format. It has more recently inspired the successful news or articles of the specific topic or category.

SEO for websites and SEO for blogs is not any different ?

SEO is SEO?

A big difference with blogs because every blog post is a separate web page. That makes your blog an ever-changing SEO tool, unlike your web pages, which are static content pages. For ongoing SEO, there is nothing better than a well-written and optimized blog.

Social Media Optimization 

But Social Media Optimization is slightly different. Hope, you can SEO your web pages and your blog posts the normal way, but even the most perfect SEO won’t ensure that you get tagged and Digged. mean, Dugg.

Social media optimization is important if you want your message to have a viral sting. If you want it to travel very far outside of your own circle then you’ve got to give it some Technorati juice. That means going beyond more SEO. It’s called SMO, Social Media Optimization.

Use the term Social Marketing Optimization

The five rules to follow for social media optimization are:

Increasing linkability
Making tagging and bookmarking easy
Rewarding inbound links
Assisting your content with its travel plans (and I don’t mean luggage)
Encouraging the mashup

all of that mean,

first it means focusing on SEOing your content properly. Until you get that right you shouldn’t even think about SMO. But beyond the SEO, you need make sure your content is unique and provides extraordinary value to your visitors. If your visitors see that value then they will tell others and you will increase your chances of getting the links.

For tagging and bookmarking, you need to put the AddThis button, or a similar tool, on your content pages - blog and web pages. That will go a long way to getting you there.

But how do you reward inbound links? There are several ways:

Start an affiliate program
Offer free downloads to anyone who links to you
Offer a link back to them, either as a reciprocal link or from another site you own
Provide a service or newsletter subscription for a link

There are several ways you can encourage links. Get creative and provide value. That’s the main thing.

In terms of helping your content travel, send out press releases or queries to popular bloggers in your industry to check out your content. Ask them to bookmark and tag it if they like it or find it useful.

Finally, you want your content to appear in as many places as possible.

Provide a way for people to RSS your content. That way, they can subscribe to your content and integrate it with their own as well as with other people’s content into one running feed.

Get your content out there, man, and mash it up.
