If you have not realized that search engine ranking makes a big difference then maybe we should send you to Music Biz Camp. When googling “AIRDROP Records”, the top 5 results are going to have significantly more exposure than any of the others.
Social media like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Loud Feed have certain advantages when it comes to search, one of them being that they are overarching-umbrella brands under which others can regroup. So the fact that Myspace has over 1 million bands, gives some extra clout to each and all of them when using search, inevitably helping myspace place closer to the top as well.
Maybe Loud Feed has not beaten myspace yet, but the fact that we are already ahead of Twitter and Facebook must stand for something, and if not at the very least, a bit of pride. Especially, considering we also know that AIRDROP was on Twitter and Facebook before joining Loud Feed.
You can get your band or label on Loud Feed to see if it improves your presence in top search results. At least Loud Feed can get you integrated with google analytics to analize the geography of the traffic coming to your page, making it much easier to justify tours in Eastern Europe, Japan or elsewhere, because you will know where to find your fans.
