Social media marketing can also be thought of as a method of online reputation management. There are certain key factors that effectively ensure the success of social media marketing and these include the following: actual relevance of content to the consumer, value addition (if any) to the customer, and finally and most importantly the strength of the pillars or foundations of social media marketing. All of these parameters are very important when it comes to judging the affectivity of a practical and workable social media marketing campaign. There are a number of platforms of social media marketing as well as social bookmarking as both of these are very important parameters to determine the final success of an advertisement campaign. Social media has a number of important platforms out of which of most importance are the social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other sites such as YouTube and even Wikipedia.

This is how the true value of a company can be judged. Social media marketing is actually the most direct, and the best form of online marketing there is, in the present day, and the approach in social media marketing is absolutely customer centric. The process of feedback is enhanced further thanks to the process of social media marketing, and to a certain extent, by the process of social bookmarking, although the latter is a far less effective method and this is a fact.
