More and more people are spending their online time browsing Social Networks.  In the U.S. alone, total minutes spent on social networking sites has increased 83 percent year-over-year, according to a Neilson Study.  Over 13billion minutes are spent a month on Facebook.

What are we spending that time on?   Most likely, we are consuming and sharing content of some sort.  While often times on Social Networks we are receiving it from our friends,  other times we are seeking it out or searching for it.

So, if you want to be found, the trick is to make it easy  to be found.  Show up in the top searches whatever method of search they prefer.    With a search engine strategy you can do this.

Easy SEO Tip: Buy the domain of your name and create a blog.

In a few months Facebook Status updates will be searchable on Bing.  I am looking forward to seeing how that will disrupt the system.
