Social Networking Stupidity 1.0

Posted by DotComMogul in social networking

Most know the huge potential for traffic that social networks offer and that they also have other benefits such as building back links, brand or name recognition and increasing your blog or websites’ popularity. While many know of the potential of social networking, many also utilize them the wrong way.

A common strategy among social network spammers marketers is to join a network, build a minimal profile (or a fake profile), acquire as many “friends” as possible and then proceed to Twitter, poke, spam the bulletins and walls, and give gifts until they have alienated nearly all of the members and branded themselves as a nuisance, or gotten banned from the network. It’s just social media spam and it’s rampant. Using social networks to intentionally manipulate and misrepresent might yield some short-term gain, but will do long-term damage to your brand. Any gains soon disappear as members or the network administrators catch on to your game.

It’s rare that I get a message from Netscape, StumbleUpon, MyBlogLog, Entrecard and other networks that isn’t a pitch for something without so much as an introduction. This isn’t a very effective way to use social networking sites for the long term benefit of your company or brand. While there are no well defined social networking rules, using common sense will go a long way in using social media to your benefit. Read the rest of this entry »

Mixx - Digg Clone

Posted by DotComMogul in Most Recent, Social Bookmarking, social networking

There’s a new kid in town … Mixx.com, a Digg-like site that has all of the features of Digg but less of the headache. If you’ve been an active Digger, chances are you’ve gotten at least one Digg account banned. The admins of Digg are quite trigger happy when it comes to the ban button. It is against their terms of service to even submit a page that has affiliate links on it and they use this rule selectively to ban people who are submitting their own affiliate sites rather than the original article or video. By selectively, I mean .. well, it just depends on who you are, I guess. Try to find one article that makes the front page that isn’t hawking something and you will be hard pressed to find one. For instance, the new top story right now is hawking Ambien CR and is on the front page with only 37 Diggs … but I’m on my 3rd Digg account for submitting interesting articles from my blogs … go figure.

More Search Engine Tips

Posted by DotComMogul in Affiliate Marketing, Blogging, Google, SEO, Social Bookmarking, Uncategorized, blackhat, make money online, marketing, search engines, social networking

Here are some other things that I do to get traffic and search engine links. I’ll start with No. 1

USFreeads.com: buy a premium account with USFreeads and place ads/articles about your products. I can’t tell you how much traffic I get from USFreeAds. It’s a lot. In addition, Google spiders the ads and indexes them.

Squidoo: Some people think Squidoo is not as effective as it once was since it’s crackdown on SPAM lenses. I haven’t found that to be true. The only thing really different is you have to build a better lense. More content, less spammy. I just built a lense on getting paid for social networking at Yuwie and FriendsWin, and it ended up on the first page results of Google.

Blogging: Google seems to love Wordpress blogs. Frequent updates to your Wordpress blogs is a great way to drive traffic to your sites or to market from directly. Again, you need to take the time to make informational posts … posts that people actually want to read rather than just a bunch of affiliate banners. Give your readers a reason to return to your blog over and over again. In addition, I think it’s better to get a domain name for your blog, install it using Fantastico from the control panel of your hosting company rather than having it hosted by Wordpress. I had a blog hosted by Wordpress and they banned it, so all that work down the drain. Host it yourself and that’s not going to happen.

Backlinks: Backlinks are crucial for getting sites indexed and getting good ranking from Google. I’m fortunate enough to have purchased the Trackback Generator, a really handy bit of software that was sold by Ruck (limited quantities sold, no longer available), but you can leave comments on blogs, make posts in forums, etc. to get backlinks to your site.

Yahoo Answers: Another great way to market is Yahoo Answers. Look for unanswered questions in your niche or you can even make two Yahoo accounts … one for questions and one for answers and answer your own questions. Answer as many questions a day as you can. You get backlinks and the opportunity to market a product. You do have to be careful … make it sound like spam and you will be banned in short order. Try to make posts that sound helpful.

Social Bookmarking: This is one I use a lot and it gets excellent results, both in direct traffic from the social networks and in backlinks to your site. Traffic coming from the social bookmarking sites is nothing short of phenomenal. If you’re not using social bookmarks for your sites, you’re missing out on a goldmine. Absolutely one of the most reliable and useful products I’ve bought is Bookmarking Demon. It really rocks. Completely automates the social bookmarking process and you can do a bit of blackhatting and create multiple accounts if you’re so inclined.

New version, new features!
