There is no question social media does an organization good, just persevere and know there is a vibrant community there to support your work. Now, Google creates perceptions and it is our job to engage the communities and instill what perceptions we want seen. Most of us don't look in our GA stats daily either way.

Private brand communities vs. Facebook. I’m not sure it’s broad vs targeted as the main difference, necessarily, as there are a lot of narrow B2C uses of social media (like invite-only brand communities and such).

First blush, I'd want to differentiate between marketing to this influencers and communicating with them. I like your “monitor and respond to all&# thought — this is more of a public relations model than a marketing model, especially if we dispense with the concept of “impressions&# in favor of “contacts.&#

MySpace answered in July, 2008 – almost a full year later. Nearly all the once mighty, now defunct social network or community sites unfurled and died after being purchased. And 75% of the people who log into Facebook do nothing (unless they are social gaming) I get that from the stats page. It’s a familiar tale.

So I didn’t have to do too much work to get an initial community going. If you can build a group of social web power users who are your blog’s True Fans you’ll be in a position you can just focus on making awesome content – and your community will market your best stuff organically.

I'm amazed that so many people and small businesses (80%, according to a recent stat that I read) have done little to nothing with social media precisely because it takes time. Do people really think that you can get SM religion one day and your customers/fans will all be singing your praises the next? philsimonsystems Great post, Jay.
