Are Social Tech And SEO Ever Destined To Work Together?

I’ve spent a number of years tripping around the internet, and trying to understand all it’s machinations.  That is from a popularity perspective.  Popular meaning, how can I get a lot of people interested in visiting, and perhaps helping to monetize the websites I’m responsible for.  At the moment, I’ve been reading a number of writing from two divided camps of experts on what the best way is to attract visitors to your site, and perhaps make a few sheckles of those very visitors.  Those who practice the SEO approach like SEOP Inc to website marketing and promotion would have a hard time being that web traffic via social networks is next to impossible to monetize, and not really worth pursuing.

But, to the denizens of bloggers around the web that make a living of their sites (blogs), which attract a lot of social traffic would vehemently disagree.  I do think there is truth and viability in both camps, and the “experts” that recognize that are sure to not only survive, but thrive in the years to come.  As a matter of fact, I believe that in the future the camps will diverge and the distinction between the two will fade.  The fact is that experts in a particular field, whether it be social network engineering or SEO or chicken coop builders often only recognize their particular way of doing things.  That’s a trap you can avoid simply by being open minded.
