My roomate Craig asked me what I was doing when I was messing with hi5 the other night. I explained to him a little bit about Social Media, a little bit about SEO, and a bit aboutthe strategy in-between. I looked up and was met with a black stare and “yeah-whatever that means!” He then walked away confused and completely in the dark on what I do.
I am incessantly explaining SEO and Social Media to friends and family alike. Most of the time they look at me and utter under their breath “nerd”. But it was Craig’s response that got me thinking about how the average person is simply new to both Social Media, Social Networking, Social Bookmarking and SEO. So with that, here is a couple video’s and I am calling this post “for the newbies”. I hope this helps create cartoon light bulbs above your head…especially you Craig!








Well Derek, You’ve just given me a first-hand lesson on the value of a #FF recommendation. I had no idea you were even following me and there I show up on a list of #FF in your tweet this morning. Your name is familiar to me so I go to your twitter page and see you don’t have pages of recommendations as some do. I click on your website and find lots of good content presented with an easy to read conversational style. I love your selection of videos for newbies and will find it very useful. As well, your blogroll has a good selection with bubbles to help me peruse at a glance.
You are on now on my Google Reader. So glad to meet you and thank you for bringing this good content to my attention.
Meryl
btw. So why did you recommend me for #FF?
You have come up common in keyword phrases I follow in Twitter. Thus the FF Keep it up!
