href="http://www.targetmarketingmag.com/article/social-media-improve-organic-search-results-real-time/1" target="_blank"><em>Search: Get Real About Real Time SEO</em></a>.  The article, featuring quotes from TopRank Online Marketing® CEO Lee Odden, opens with an example of a real time search conducted in the light of recent riots in Oakland, CA:</p><p><em>&#8220;Searching Google for &#8220;Oakland riots&#8221; led to a page of blended search results—one could find news stories, videos, blog posts and tweets. That&#8217;s right, Twitter posts showed up in an automated scroll box about halfway down the Google search engine results page.&#8221;</em></p><p>Mummert goes on to state that query-based, <a
href="http://www.toprankblog.com/2010/04/real-time-search-online-marketing/">real time search</a> is not unique to Google as other major search engines, including Yahoo! and Bing, are also integrating social media content into search rankings.</p><p><em>&#8220;You have to wonder, if you&#8217;re making it into the real-time results,&#8221; Odden ponders, &#8220;does that add another layer of signal to the overall signal to tell Google, Bing and Yahoo! that your content is of high value to the marketplace?&#8221;</em></p><p>Odden helps tie real time and social media results into the larger sphere of a <a
href="http://www.toprankmarketing.com/search-engine-optimization/">Search Engine Optimization</a> (SEO) program by stating, &#8220;Search is already a moving target and real-time just escalates that. This makes it important for marketers to pay attention to the overall search landscape.&#8221;</p><p>Advice Odden provides to marketers in this article includes:</p><ul><li>Branching out beyond  Web analytics reports to see how the search results pages are composed</li><li>Noting what content topics and types tend to rank highly</li><li>Searching for patterns in search results</li><li>Leveraging patterns for either immediate opportunities or to shape long-term search strategies</li></ul><p>Read the rest of this article by visiting <a

href="http://www.toprankmarketing.com/newsroom/social-media-twitter-case-study/">social media marketing</a> to reach consumers has created a lot of attention for sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and the recently popular Foursquare. Millions of consumers are spending their time online with social networking and media sharing sites instead of other media.</p><p>Some companies are wasting significant resources by chasing after too many different services without taking the time to figure out which social networks and Web sites their customers prefer. Why not fish where the fish are? Here are three tactics you can use to better connect with customers on the social Web:</p><ul><li><strong>Ask Them!</strong> One of the most effective and accurate methods of finding out which social      media sites your customers prefer is to survey them. That same survey can      do double duty and invite customers to friend, fan or follow based on      their preferences.</li><li><strong>Social Media Monitoring.</strong> Free services like trackur.com or socialmention.com      can help uncover which sites customers are using that also discuss your      brand. Paid services like Scout Labs or Radian6 are very useful for more      advanced monitoring and social CRM.</li><li><strong>Web Analytics.</strong> Review your Web analytics to see which social media sites are already      sending you traffic, and leverage that insight to decide where to      participate.</li></ul><p>Doing your homework on customer preferences for how they discover, interact and share on the social Web will shorten the time to reach the right people and help create a more relevant opportunity to interact.</p><p>Stay up-to-date with the latest news  from TopRank® Online  Marketing by subscribing to our newsroom <a
