Social Networking allows you to to build huge Contact Lists - most of whom will
never visit your webpages. But if you are a NetMarketer, getting webpage
visitors is the only way you can turn prospects into sales, recruits or subscribers.
Page Views and Backlinking have always been two of the surest ways to get
traction from the search engines by increasing your Search Engine Page Rank
and/or alexa rating.
Now, Social Bookmarking has taken that effort to a new level - getting views and back links
at one stop based on very little content publishing.
People go to your sites and recommend them to others on these bookmarking sites.
We want you to take an healthy interest in Bookmarking your sites and ours. Here are some
of my favorite sites
StumpleUpon
One of the best places to bookmark is StumbleUpon - The more people view your stumbles the
higher rating for top spot in your category. So start the process today.
DIGG.COM
Digg.com is one of the most effective ways to get your website noticed by the search
engines. It also has a rating system based on how many views you get for suggested links.
MyBlogLog -
MyBlogLog has a widget that displays your recent visitors on your webpages when they join
the community through your link. Very effective method of viral advertising.
And then there is
TWITTER ... The fastest rising star in the arsenal of BookMarking.
Although I have an account there, and get feeds to my pages, I am not sure how I really
feel about it. It's like too much of a good thing.
What bothers me, like so many social networking lists, is the mathematical absurdity of
having thousands of people following you unless you are a celebrity, guru or a Barak Obama
for president.
If you are selling pots and pants, it's going to take a lot of imagination to have a real
following - by that I mean not just people on your Twitter lists - but readers, disciples
and fans.
On the other hand, if you have a real mailing list of customers, prospects or members, it
provides a very effective IM-based communication for your followers and will eventually
attract more by just being there.
The bottom line is Twittter is content driven - just like a micro weblog. If you can
create content that interest people - they will come.
Will they buy your stuff? That all depends not only on how interesting is your content,
but also on how integrated your product line is to your content.
Questions you should ask:
Does your content solve a problem for this membership base like the TwitterGrabber widget?
Or, Brad Callen who turns 1,500 followers into 55,000 in 2 weeks with a simply mention that
he was working a webbot software?
Does your twittering appeal to a broad demographic base like movies and music or niche
related like certain health issues?
Maybe it's just keeping family and friends updated with your fabulous lifestyle? At least
that was the original intent as far as their promos show.
In short, does your twittering worth a "twit" to anyone?
If so, Go Twit:
