A new term "Social Media Optimization" is on the scene!

Social Media Optimization
, aka SMO, refers to the "optimization" of social media sites and online communities.  The goal of SMO is to strategically strengthen social media outlets in a fashion similar to search engine optimization  aka SEO for websites.  A social media platform site that has been correctly optimized will increase publicity to generate awareness of a product, brand or event and show up high in Google or other search engine results.
