Blog Spiderwebs

One of my favorite “WordPress Marketing Strategies” is building a Social Networking Spiderweb. This is a greatly simplified version of a LinkWheel, not as powerful, but it is one heck of a lot easier to complete. You can easily expand this into more of the classic LinkWheel approach by cross linking with other blogs (yours and others).

Social networking and WordPress blog spider webs work to brand your company and act as a giant lair to draw traffic to your business, websites and blogs.

Savvy WordPress marketers know that blogs, social networking and bookmarking are important tactics for building a web presence and getting top rankings with the search engines. You need to know how social media fits into your overall marketing plans and come up with a plan to get noticed on the web.  After all, if your site is not on the first page of the search engines – you don’t exist.

Social media and wordpress blogs have changed the way marketing is done. Customers, potential customers and competitors share information every day through different Social Media channels to create advantages for everyone.  Many people—from start-ups and individuals to well-established companies—are creating sizable returns through the use of these WordPress Marketing Strategies.

What do these people share in common? They use social media tools to generate the kind of exposure that converts relationships to prospects and prospects to sales.

This can be your success story, too.

• Establish a solid presence and become recognized as a leader in your industry
• Stand out from the crowd while creating long-term partnerships that establish and reinforce your expertise and further strengthen your brand among the millions of prospects available to you
• Come up with a success oriented Social Media Marketing map with a few simple steps – you’ll know where to start, what options are available, and which ones are a good fit for you

Part II

Every now and then, I am asked questions about the WordPress marketing tools I use in my business. Well, here’s one that came in recently and since I have been asked this before I will let you know what I use. Please note that there are many great tools out there and I’d love to hear what you are using and your comments.:

“Is there an article and directory submitter tool that you use and can recommend?”

I have used a number of article and directory submitters in the past, but I am trying to reduce all the different tools I use and currently I use the following for building content and marketing.

1. Rankbuilder.com because it has a lot more than just directory submission. It actually builds link-wheels.

http://901f96ef-m2t7k8mliw5wgw-3x.hop.clickbank.net/ (Note: full disclosure, that is an affiliate link).

It cost $67 a month when I joined, but it has gone up to $77 a month. A little pricey, so you have to make sure you use it.

They are still adding things to it and it has article submission, rss submission, social network submission, mass link poster (directories), forum poster, and a press release submitter.

2. Onlywire on all my blogs, because it is free, but it can get rather labor intensive to set up.

3. The free version of Free Traffic System for submitting to blogs. http://www.freetrafficsystem.com/a.php?p1=309

4. And, I use Magic Article Rewriter ($47 one time) for spinning articles. http://c76cfbdbyu2x9w8bmn7iyi8q6h.hop.clickbank.net/ (yes, another affiliate link). I do not use his Magic Article Submitter because I have encountered difficulties in using it, but it compares well to many of the other article submitters available.

There are many other good tools out there and I would love to hear your recommendations.
