There is still a lot of discussion going on about social media. What works? What doesn't work? Is one better than the other? I am still confused by all this. Just the other day, I came across this Google post about Facebook.

Time was, Facebook was free and fun. Organic search was earned for free. However, since Facebook turned Public Co. in 2013, shareholders decided you have to pay to play, and organic search plummeted. Facebook now controls your pages and personal profile news feed.

The moral of this Google post? Have a website; use good keywords and phrases to optimize your site for Search engine; use email marketing, offering something for free, and last, but not least? Use other Social Media, don't put all your eggs into one basket, is the moral of the post. See it below.
