as in Social Media Optimization?
Then check out Paul Dunay’s latest post at Buzz Marketing for Technology. Aptly named 5 Rules of Social Media Optimization (SMO). Here is a brief excerpt:
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for websites has been honed into a fine art and while I believe in the power of SEO, there is a new discipline beginning to emerge called Social Media Optimization (SMO).

You will have to read Paul’s post for the rest of his great tips.

It’s also worthwhile following the link in Paul’s post to what looks to be the original (August 06) version of this by Rohit Bhargava http://rohitbhargava.typepad.com/weblog/2006/08/5_rules_of_soci.html
where Rohit also provides a link to the del.icio.us site for the socialmediaoptimization tag http://del.icio.us/tag/socialmediaoptimization
