Start by reading and listening to the content of others. Look at how others are using blogs, twitter, facebook, flickr, youtube and other social sites. Comment if you are moved to. This will help you get to understand how social media is being used by others. Next, set up a blog and start posting. This is where you can write about things that matter to your audience and build your reputation. Good Question, “Where to start?”. Start by reading and listening to the content of others.

It's easiest to develop your authentic voice and encourage Google to pay attention if it becomes a regular habit. Thanks for your comment!

Just like people are too busy to floss, as well :) And don't forget about blogging - also a commitment but so healthy for your landing pages. <a href="http://twitter.com/deepdishcreates" title="DeepDishCreates" rel="nofollow">@DeepDishCreates</a> GREAT post and analogy, Todd!

But you'll have a lot healthier teeth if you do, and if you just get into the habit, you'll be happier for it. Great analogy :-) Sure, if you don’t floss ever, you might not loose all your teeth (or worse – die).

Great analogy :-)

Seriously -- all of these are good and important points, but the concept of flossing really ties everything together. I've bookmarked this article, and plan to share it with my readers shortly.
