First of all hello to all of you and thanks for getting in touch with me through social media and email in last couple of months because I was really busy in my papers and other stuff in life.Kudos to whom which are regular readers and who were in contact with me through my personal email thanks and big applause for you.While coming back to my blog when I was planning o write something there was no such idea in my mind which is new and attractive.In last couple of months seo is losing it's authority because there are lot more things to consider for your website because Google is taking down a new online Giant every week so bloggers have realized that there are much more important things to take care of rather then seo. Now in my book seo comes second and social media optimization comes first. I would love to say facebook optimization because these days we are getting almost half of our traffic and sales through facebook so we have to take care of it carefully and use it wisely so if accidentally you are also penalized then you don't have to worry about much :)
