The title said it right. I know a lot of conservative marketing gurus who frown at social media. But some are finding out how wrong they are.

Thanks for the great info. I was a fan and believer in SEO. I didn't believe in social media. But recently I found out that social marketing is giving me exceptional result for some campaigns. After all I don't think we should only depend on search engines to control our life.

Jake,

Insightful post. For what it's worth, we view CPC and PPC as the stone that's thrown into a pond. We know how heavy it is, how we got it, where we threw it. Social media is the ripple that CAN occur from the stone's throw. A little harder to see where it ends, but an effect you can make happen over and over.

Our marketing strategy takes this analogy and makes it a reality for our clients. It also makes it easier for them to understand the measurable results from the somewhat more subjective ones.
