You don’t really need to panic; you just need to organize things.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With careful planning, you can simplify the process of keeping all your social media accounts fresh and in order.  The following are some tips on how to have a streamlined social web presence:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">•	<em>Optimize Your Blog Feed</em>.  The very first step in streamlining your social web presence is to burn your blog’s feed to <a href="http://www.feedburner.com" target="_self"><strong>Feedburner</strong></a>.  <strong>Feedburner</strong> is a free service and getting hold of an account will help you to manage and track feed subscriptions easily.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">•	<em>Feed Your Blog</em>.  In order to get the most mileage from your blog posts, feed your blog entries into all of your social media accounts that offer blog feeding options.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">•	<em>Maximize the Use of Your Multimedia</em>.  You can maximize the exposure of your images and video clips by adding galleries and badges to your website or blog, and by feeding your images and videos into your social networking profiles and pages.  You can integrate or feed your <strong>Flickr</strong> photos and <strong>YouTube</strong> videos to your blog, <strong>Facebook</strong> or <strong>MySpace</strong> accounts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">•	<em>Integrate Other Social Tools</em>.  Upcoming.org which is a social events calendar and GoodReads which is a niche book sharing and author site are also powerful social media sites.  You can also integrate your accounts in these sites with <strong>MySpace</strong> and <strong>Facebook</strong> through applications that allow you to display books, book reviews, and events.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">•	<em>Take Advantage of Streamlining Tools</em>. <a href="http://ping.fm" target="_self"><strong> Ping.fm</strong></a> is a powerful social tool that you can use to add short posts to your mini feeds on <strong>Facebook</strong>, <strong>Myspace</strong>, and other sites with status bars.  You can share brief entries and status updates on <strong>Twitter</strong> and <strong>Jaiku</strong> and feed it to more of your social sites.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">•	<em>Research and Repeat</em>.  The gist of the social web is to connect people through social platforms and applications; therefore, when deciding whether or not to invest time and resources into a new social tool, it is best to research the ways that tool will accommodate your existing social web presence.  Repeat the steps above when you decide to integrate a new social tool or website.</p>

<p>Google update is over. Some sites got their pagerank increase, others stayed the same and more people have gone from pr-n to pr-0. A few months ago the pay per post and paid link community suffered and has been  penalized by brother Google. Online bloggers who catered paid posts on their blogs noticed a big decrease in their pagerank. But this decrease of pagerank does not even shake those who knew and watched closely on the evolving algorithm of major search engines.</p>
<p>A lot of companies panic and now in search for a better SEO solutions upon seeing the decrease of pagerank recently. But my question is this, Does pagerank really counts? Does it increase your sales in a month? What is really important SEO for page rank or SMO for better search engine search results?</p>
<p>For the past few months dealing with social media optimization, I can surely say that page rank is no important with regards to sales. Not unless for those who have paid posts on their blogs since these bunch of guys who buys a link from paid links and pay per post communities require at least a page rank of 2. There are a lot of websites that you can see on the top 10 ranking result on major search engines that has a lower page rank or even has a page rank of 0. I think brother Google is just misleading the web site owners and webmasters for them not to figure out the real score on their Search Algorithm. Common perception if one site has a page rank of 0 is that may be that site is just a start up website or has been penalized or hasn&#8217;t been applied with SEO. But hey, check their search rankings with their target keyword. This is what confused me. I&#8217;ve been wondering why brother Google gives a lower page rank of one site but then serve that site to the top 10 rank in search results.</p>
<p>Many e-commerce websites struggles to gain more sales. Does pagerank can help in getting bigger sales? I would take a  big &#8220;NO&#8221; for an answer. Brother Google&#8217;s Pagerank doesn&#8217;t help in getting sales because it not a measurement of how you rank on search engine results and definitely not a measurement of how much traffic you get. We must always remember that sales is equals to the total amount of traffic you get on search results. Better have a low page rank with much number of visits per day than having a high page rank with an ample amount of visitors per day.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more important, SEO for page rank or SMO for better search engine search results? Before pagerank is highly appreciated. But since the birth of the web 2.0, a lot of companies embrace it because Social media shift from web 1.0 which was only good for publishing information to web 2.0 which focuses on interacting to the information thus giving it a high valued relevant and keyword rich content than the page rank itself. As a result Blogs, RSS and wikis palyed a big rule for interacting and circulating fresh contents which gave a superb results in search engines result rankings.</p>
<p>Social media doesn&#8217;t take seriously on page rank. As long as you keep your social network active, you will stay on top. Connect to other communities especially those niche&#8217; player-communities to make friends, generate traffic and somehow slowly build links. Don&#8217;t mind your page rank. It will get higher sooner or later.</p>
