Google Panda has made many people re-think their marketing strategy. Some sites who played by the rules seem to have been caught in the crossfire, so to speak. Social media may be another avenue to explore, so it's not all in vain

Hi Martina,

Thanks so much for sharing. Most important is that social media,like many other things you do for your business, is about the long term investment not the quick fix. This, of course, means staying engaged, but it also means results won't be immediate.

Thanks for a clear discussion of this issue. Many do get discouraged which is not helped by the sort of expectations that some unscrupulous companies are in the habit of raising. Your return to the maxim 'provide for your customers needs' is the best advice. Brian

Good information Martina. I also think some make it more difficult than it should be. To me online or offline is very much based on common sense and keeping it simple. Too much hype and over promising raises expectations for small businesses that unfortunately will not happen in the short term.
