In Google’s guide to SEO, there is an interesting quote, that’s what is not recommended to do on social media web-sites:

involving your site in schemes where your content is artificially promoted to the top of these services.

Well, Google’s loosing their theory of what’s appreciated by the crowd should be genuine? Because there are now plenty of paid and exchange-based digg (just example!) voting programs, and they are getting smarter and smarter.

Although SEO is primarily done to help boost rankings in SERPs and we can practice it by merely trying to (intelligently?) guess the search engines algorithms, this shortsighted approach to SEO is one of the reasons why many do not see that much effect with their SEO campaign. It is always important to factor in every possible aspect that you practically can when it comes to your SEO strategy, and that includes the daily happenings in search engine users’ lives. That may sound a little crazy since it is impossible to know everything that goes on with one persons life let alone all your target audience, the majority of whom you don’t even know personally. Well it is if you look at it that way but if you only look at it in terms of the general events that you know will be impacting or are currently affecting them then it makes more sense.

Some webmasters are strong proponents of non-content SEO strategies. These technical experts rely very heavily on meta-title and other html or code-based SEO strategies for sites that are less content oriented.

Purists on both sides of the argument will say their approach is far superior to the other. For the content sites they can judge their success through keyword strategies that are observable in long-term site rankings. For the non-content sites they can observe keywords or phrases being used to determine site rankings from a more technical source in behind-the-scenes code.

So, which is the better approach?

Both.

This really is a matter of being able to have your cake and eat it too. You can maximize SEO strategies in the coding on your site while infusing your website with knowledge based original content. The combination of these two strategies can work with greater efficiency than either strategy alone.
