Saturation: The Internet’s Version of Word of Mouth Advertising
Social media sites have changed the Internet landscape. Less than 47% of web surfers found websites through a search engine in 2009... The other 53% were referred to sites by friends or influencers via social media sites.
How has social media changed the internet landscape?
Search Engines feel social media’s information is so current and relevant that they have all added social elements. Google, (who owns Youtube), posts, in their search engine results, links to News, Twitter, Youtube and other social media sites.
Social Referral Sites like Digg and Del.ico.us allow site members to post the link of their favorite web address for other members to visit. Other visitors get to vote on whether or not they like it.
Social News Sites like Redit, Slashdot and Fark aggregate news articles recommended by its site visitors.
Social Networking Sites like Twitter and Facebook allow people to share reviews and links of favorite sites.
Social Bookmarking Sites like Stumble, actually act as a publicly accessible “favorites” or “bookmark” for web pages.
Combine all the social media with News aggregators like Google News and Yahoo News plus corporate and industry web presence pages like CNN, CNBC, Entrepreneur, Wall Street Journal, Christianity Today, Family Circle, FORBES etc. and you have a ton of press, publicity, bookmarking, networking and overall word of mouth happening.
