Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have used hootsuite and all though it has some great features, its not something i enjoy using because of the cluttered interface.. The only good thing i can think of is that you dont have to login to multiple accounts and simple click between projects, ultra quick.

I'm thinking its bull, i have not heard anything at all concerning seo that may impact on social media projects at all

The methods you are quoting above do not add something to any particular campaign, i would prefer you added them to something value of some sort.

Blog post comments within industry settings can always be usefull along with article submissions but all of this needs to be controlled rather than spammed so you can have an overall reach with the methods that you are using.

Press release Submissions are valuable but again need to give the user added value to what your actually talking about. I,m hesistant to think the kind of press releases you can spam weekly, that will get you what u desire as opposed to an industry related release that might somehow give someone added knowledge that may induce a lead, a sale or otherwise

Strategy is key to the above campaign and i hope you plan accordingly either way

Cheers ROb

Well to be honest lucy i havent at all, not to say hootsuite put me off but its the formula 1 of interfaces so i said to myself "this may not be for me" lets not try and over complicate things and just do it manually.

I might have a look at sproutsocial all right now that you mentioned it but i dont know how it can get any better with my 17" screen (clutter)

It may or may not, i,ll keep u posted
