Social media is all the rage these days. Everyone wants to get in on the game and promote themselves on networks like Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, and Digg. Social media, when done right, is a proven method of Internet marketing that can send hordes of quality traffic to your sites (e.g. see my case study about how Twitter sent me 35,967 hits in 14 days). But where does on-page SEO fit into all of this (particularly the title tag)? Does your SEO need to suffer in order for you to do well on social media sites? Contrary to what you may think, the answer is no. In fact, you can utilize social media to jump start your SEO efforts and get the best of both worlds.
In this article, I’ll describe the role of the title tag in social media and in SEO and let you in on a little title trick you can use to maximize both your social media and SEO exposure.
Title Tag for Social Media...

He who jumps into the void, owes no explanation to those who stand and watch - Jean Luc Godard
Though I tend to agree with Jean Luc Godard , I’ll offer this explanation anyway...
The Currency of Life
There are times in our lives when we are rich, and times when we are poor. There are times when we are somewhere in between, and content to be so. There is always someone who is richer than we are, and always someone who is poorer. We are never on, true, equal footing with anyone else in this regard.
We define our lives and ourselves in these terms. By what we do, and how much we make - How much money we make. There is upper class, lower class, and middle class. There is First World, Second World, and of course Third World.
We, as human beings, tend to only describe ourselves, and others within the boundaries and limitations of money. There is always the question of value. How much something is worth. Even, how much a person is worth. Though money is a renewable resource - When you run out, you can always get more; there is a limited amount of it, It is not easy to come by, and it is very easy to loose. Still, even at our lowest financial points, we find hope... We tell ourselves that things will get better. The tide will turn, and put us back in the game.
I believe that that ability to “get back in the game” takes us out of the game all together. The Game of Life, that is. Our lives are built on the pursuit of the mighty dollar. There are things we have to buy, and money is the legal tender for everything... Well... Not everything.
What price should we tender for a full, rich, splendid, exciting, dare I say priceless - Life. You can’t buy a life filled with wonder, with money. As the clichés go, “Money can’t buy you love, or happiness”. And even if it could, what form of currency would, or should, we use to buy this blissful state of utopia. US Dollars, the Euro, the Yen, Produce, Animals, even other People...
There are so many different things that people use to purchase other things. It’s actually kind of weird, isn’t it, that we use physical things to buy etherial things.
Happiness, love, joy, hate, misery, emotions in general are etherial. They are not of this world. They are a state of being, and that can not be bought with material things.
But there is a form of currency that can actually buy you the most desired of things... The Adventure of Life. The Life experience is expensive, and what we spend on it is much harder to come by than money, and even easier to loose.
The problem is, that it, unlike other forms of legal tender, is not renewable. It is also not bankable - You can’t save it up for a rainy day.
You spend it as fast as it comes in. Most of us just throw it away. Most of us never realize, until it’s too late, how much we have, or don’t have.
Time is the currency of Life. It is always there for the taking. Just reach out and grab it. And remember to always... Spend it wisely.
...Yes indeed Spend it wisely.
