While social shopping can help drive traffic and aid search optimization, there are three factors to assess, regardless of how you participate in social shopping. They are:

* Optimize the user experience on your Web site and search marketing and e-mail communications to maximize new prospect conversion. Don't underestimate the importance of getting the basics correct, because you don't want to go through a lot of effort to get traffic that doesn't convert.
