Social Media Optimization
Social media optimization is the art of creating sharable content that goes viral on social networks like Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. In the pre-Panda and Penguin world, shares, likes and re-Tweets were nice, but they weren’t essential, but that’s not the case anymore.

Cutting edge affiliates also know that better graphics and content are an essential element of creating sharable content.
