Social Bookmarking is NOTHING to Follow

My opinion on Social Bookmarking

A vanilla topic but this is where the Rubber hits the road!

The social bookmarking aspect is great for what it’s worth but social bookmarking links will only do so much for you, really.  SB links are mostly NoFollow nowadays but they can be effective if you’re getting enough of them, so really, social bookmarking for effective link building is largely dependent on getting a lot of links, which means creating  a lot of profiles.  That is Social Networking

And even for you advanced SEO-ers and readers, it’s still always good to revisit link building fundamentals.

What are links and backlinks?

Consider them votes by other sites and virtual web properties that vote you up in the search engines’ eyes.  Generally speaking, the more links you get, the better.  However, there’s always more value given to quality backlinks over lower-quality backlinks, and a few quality backlinks could do as much for you as 2000 low-quality spam links like hreferrer spam links.

How do backlinks bring you traffic? 

The more votes/backlinks you get, the higher your rankings should be for certain keywords and phrases you optimized a site or pages for.  So if/when you start acquiring backlinks to increase your search engine rankings, you’ll start to see what is known as organic traffic from the search engines.  Organic  traffic is free traffic being sent to your site by the search engines because they ranked your site or pages for certain keywords that were searched for.

Another way links can bring traffic outside of achieving ranking sis if you have a naked link in published articles somewhere and people are clicking on the links and coming to your site.  This type of direct-traffic-from-links is seen most often with article marketing when authors leave links that are naked, or merely say, “click here”…

Hey TWEETS go where the people are and it’s NOT your INBOX!

Is the trend that traditional Marketing is becoming obsolete and no longer achieving the desired results that business’s need?! With so much information readily available, consumers have suddenly become empowered. They can read reviews, blogs, and even see videos about their possible purchases.

Who reads Email Advertising anyway?  it’s boring and i feel always being ‘SOLD’ to.  Today, marketers are suddenly discovering that if they don’t get information about their products or services out there in front of potential consumers, they would get left behind and soon be out of business. Ahhhah! – Content Marketing is born. With ONE essential proviso (the 911 to pay attention!)If your content isn’t valuable, in the sense that it will solve the problem that the browsers are seeking a solution to, you will never be able to capture their attention and build a relationship with them, let alone make sales. In effect, it is the customer who now decides the rules of engagement. Your role is to be in the right place at the right time.

And on the biggest RISE is Social Media sites. These sites, particularly the Video Hosting sites, are gaining a much greater share of web traffic. It’s where the people are, it’s where they want to be.  Google’s search results increasingly reflect this phenomenon. So, Social Media should not be overlooked, and most often it’s under VALUED!  Think about the FUTURE of your online business - 

HOW are YOU going to get found?!?! Do you think your prospects want to read ‘another’ marketing email from you?  Don’t you think they want to know you, be more social with you when they are interacting and engaging with a real person? Hmmm in a few ‘tweets’ or ‘What’s on your mind? Your followers can BECOME loyal customers even when you’re being ‘SOCIALLY YOU’ 

So two leading questions:

1. What are the essential types of Content that you should produce?

The simple answers are a mix of:Blogs  (my opinion the MOST essential), Micro-Blogs ,Videos, Audio & Video Podcasts, Images (these can be photos or screenshots), Posts to the Social Bookmarking sites , Posts to the Social News sites, RSS aka Webfeeds to promote on the Webfeed Aggregator sites

2. Where should you distribute it?    Social Media Platforms are crying out for your contributions, and they don’t want to charge you for the pleasure, yes most are FREE! By Distributing your “Quality” content on these platforms:

You WILL have a positive effect on your search engine listings-  Google loves it when you share

You WILL increase traffic to your websites or offers

You  WILL increase backlinks for a higher Google PR -You WILL amplify your BRAND online –ever Google yourself!

Content producing involves creating your own unique & imaginative blend of Content Marketing strategies, generating free traffic from Google organic listings, and free referral traffic from the Social Media Platforms.

Not too long ago we witnessed the launch of the new, F-R-E-E Traffic Travis 3.0, to amazing success. Thousands of people have seized the opportunity and downloaded this outstanding tool, and they’re already using it to gain an edge over their competition in the search engines.

If you haven’t downloaded it already, then you should be aware that your competition probably has. Ask yourself — Do you really want to be giving them a head start using this? Or are you wanting to be ahead of the game yourself?
SEO
Here are just some of the tools you’ll find inside. Remember it doesn’t cost anything, it’s F-R-E-E!

  • Page analysis: Almost like having an SEO expert look at your webpage and tell you what you are doing right, and what you are doing wrong. This tool does all that, and then gives you solutions for improving your on-page SEO! Oh, it also gives you a grade. Are you an A+ student, or is your site going to flunk?
  • Position ranking: Keeps a daily, weekly or monthly record of exactly where your website is ranked for any search term. Check all the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN Live, Ask and Altavista) and see whether you’re going up in the search engines … or down.
  • Keyword finder: A cutting edge keyword finder tool to give you a huge number of relevant keywords.
  • Keyword sorter: An essential keyword sorter tool that enables you to categorize extremely large lists of keywords into targeted adgroups for PPC purposes.
  • Top sites for keywords: Quickly find all the top sites for your various keywords… then analyze them to see if you can steal some of their tricks.
  • Backlinks to site: Who is linking to you? Who is linking to your competitors? What pagerank are they? What anchor text are they using? Checking all this information by hand would be a full-time job, but Traffic Travis does it with just one click. And by analyzing your competitors with this tool you can find other great sites to buy/trade links with.
  • Keywords/details: Discover how many advertisers are advertising on each keyword and whether there’s a heavy turnover in advertisers. This could mean that the keyword isn’t as profitable as everyone thinks!
  • Top sites for keywords: Who are the biggest players in your niche? Which keywords are they bidding on? Suss out who your major competitors are, and then analyze their campaign. After all… they must be making money…
  • Websites Keyword list: A more indepth keyword snooping tool… this shows you whether competitors keep advertising on a particular word, or whether they drop it periodically. (Consistently advertising on a keyword means it must be really profitable!) This tool also easily shows ad ranking position, so you can see which positions seem to work the best…

There’s loads more, I could go on all day. But it’s probably more interesting for you to go and download it and see for yourself! After all… it doesn’t cost anything!

If you delay and regret it later, don’t say I didn’t recommend that you do this now :)
