Bookmarking Sites Deliver Heavy Traffic
Yesterday we talked about Aftervote, a meta social search engine. I reviewed it, if you'll remember, and liked it. Well, this morning I found a great article on SiteProNews. I'm not going to recant the whole article for you now, but the gist was the top 10 places to get traffic online. Of course, we all know about Google so that's not in the list. But I wasn't a bit surprised to find that 9 of the top 10 are all social bookmarking sites, or news sites with bookmarking capabilities. The other one is an article directory. Here's the list: 1. Digg.com 2. Netscape.com 3. Ezinearticles.com 4. Del.icio.us 5. StumbleUpon.com 6. Reddit.com 7. Slashdot.org 8. BlinkList.com 9. Furl.net 10. Squidoo.com I'm not sure if this list is definitive. I don't even know how the CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Viral Marketing Through Microsites
WebProNews ran a great article a couple of days ago on microsites. One paragraph struck me particularly and points to the success of such sites: Viral marketers know that having a separate presence for campaigns can return good results. The most preferred tactic used by marketers is "Creating cool microsites" with 37 percent saying they produced excellent results. One-third said that online games brought good results. What Is A Microsite? A microsite is a one-page website used as a sales letter for a product or service. They're quite popular and always have been. As early as 1995 there were people online building these small websites offering some kind of product for sale. Some have done well, some have not. But the ones that have done well - CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Social Bookmarking: How To Measure Your Links
If you've ever wondered how you can keep up with your bookmarking links, I've found a great website that lets you do this. It's at www.socialmeter.com. The link measuring tool is by no means exhaustive. It doesn't measure links at Reddit, StumbleUpon, or Digg, three of the largest and most popular social bookmarking sites on the Web. But it does serve a useful function for measuring bookmarked pages at other social sites such as Google Bloglines, del.icio.us, and Technorati. The idea is to type in your website URL so you can see the number of websites that have bookmarked you in some way. It operates on the same concept as link popularity and search engine saturation statistics at such sites as www.marketleap.com and CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
When Going Viral, Learn The Tools Of The Trade First
There is no substitute for people. Human beings are capable of communicating with an enormous degree of nuance and subtlety, using voice, expression, body language, and gesture; no animation, avatar, or artificial substitute can take the place of a real person for communicating meaningful, memorable marketing messages. Well, I've to agree with this guy. If you're going to produce videos for your marketing campaign there is no reason not to use a real person in the video. Graphics for your website? Be real. Avatars, cartoons, and animated gifs just don't cut it. People will relate to you if you tell a story. It doesn't have to be some long drawn out tale. But they have to be able to relate to it on an emotional CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
The Evolution Of Search: Neolithic Search Goes Social
Browsing the blogs has its benefits. You read some interesting things. As most of you well know, I'm a big fan of social marketing and social optimization. But this mode of Internet marketing is relatively new. Recently, I saw an interesting little monologue on how we've arrived at our current state of search. I thought I'd chime in. The blog was a Scotland SEO blog and I'm glad I found it. Near the end of this blogger's analysis was this paragraph: This new emergence in search is slowly giving rise to a new form of optimization called social optimization. The idea is to make your article, blog, web page, etc. valuable according to ideas or concepts rather than specific keywords. Anyone familiar with those concepts CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
