Talk:Social media optimization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Linkspam

If we want to cite Rohit Bhargava as the originator of this term, we need to find an independent, third party, reliable source to cite. I've started that. Jehochman (Talk/Contrib) 05:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rules?

Why is this article compiling "rules" of SMO? Wikipedia isn't a tutorial or how-to book. Can we put the content into the article, and then recast it in a more encyclopedic tone? Jehochman (Talk/Contrib) 20:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potential Additional Reference Link

I had an opportunity to interview Rohit recently about social media optimization and his original blog post on the subject. I believe this is one of the few interviews that Rohit has given on this subject. The interview is here http://social-media-optimization.com/2007/07/social-media-qq-with-rohit-bhargava/

Would you consider adding this to the list of references?

[edit] No reliable sources. Why does this article exist?

This article's references consist of 'links normally to be avoided.' as defined by WP:EL. If the term 'social media optimization' isn't used in any reliable sources, why do we still have it? My guess is that there *are* better references somewhere, but no-one thinks it's necessary to find them. EdJohnston 16:24, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

We have an ongoing discussion at WT:V about Wikipedia's bias against online sources. The first source is a reliable news site for this field. The second source is an expert self-publishing in his field of expertise. These are both acceptable sources for this article, I think. - Jehochman Talk 17:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
