MORE ON SOCIAL BOOKMARKING

Today we are covering How to use “Social Bookmarking” to Build Your Social Networking Spider Web and get massive traffic to your business.

This topic is on how to get a lot of sites to link back to your website or blog and to create a lot of targeted traffic by using “social bookmarking”!

Social bookmarking is very popular with marketers in every business, hobby or personal niche.  Social bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon, Digg, Del.icio.us, and Technorati let users add links to sites they like and make those links public so that other visitors can grab those links and add them to their own lists.  This makes your URLs (website links) go viral.

Social bookmarking sites are a great way to get traffic to your own websites and blogs.  What you do is bookmark your sites and then hope others will share the links.  On some social bookmarking sites like Digg, viewers can vote for your entries and make them even more popular.

If enough people vote for your particular link (that has an article or blog posting associated with it), it might make it to the front page of that bookmarking site.  A front-page listing can yield thousands of visitors a day to your site. However, because of the very nature of social bookmarking sites, if you want to get tons of traffic from the bookmarking sites, you need to make sure that the links you submit are interesting – and not just your sales pitch page.

Take a look at current events to use as a source of information to write about – and then bookmark.  For example – let’s say your blog is in the interior design niche and you have a site on high end interior design.  A simple how-to site may not get shared a lot.

But let’s say you read an article about using simple products from Ikea or KMart for making high-end interior design work on a limited budget.  With this type of topic you’d have a pretty decent shot at having a lot of home owners or interior designers share your links with others.

If your blog tends to be less newsworthy and more general, then you don’t need to worry about how many people vote for your story or share your links.  In this situation, just concentrate on using the social bookmarking sites to build back links to your sites, which will increase your search engine popularity.

Concentrate on bookmarking the index page (home or main page) of each of your sites first.

The key to social bookmarking is to become a participant in a community that shares interesting information. Create a good, personal profile that tells a little about you.  Make sure to add some photos, and if the site offers it, start building a friends or fans list.

Be careful not to add too many links each day. Don’t go crazy and add 100 links a day. Try to keep it to 10 or less per day and you will be okay.

After you’ve been a participant for a few weeks, you might be able to get away with up to 50 per day.  And…. make sure to keep bookmarking stories on other websites and vote for a few of the popular stories that made it onto the first page.  This will help to make your profile look a lot more legitimate in the eyes of the community.

FINDING QUALITY CONTENT FOR YOUR BLOG

Trying to figure out what to write about for your blog can be one heckuva challenge.  There are some days when you just can’t write or have no idea what to write about.  Well here are a few ideas.

The best way to get unique content is to write new unique content. This is not very hard, but for some this may be time consuming and you may not want to. The easiest way to get unique content is to combine various free articles and edit them as if they were new articles.

Search some Article Directories or just do a general web search using your keyword and you will find tons of articles and ideas. Once you have a few articles about the same topic you just need to combine it and make it unique.

Another method I use is Google Alerts.  I can generally find a consistent supply of good quality content to write about by setting up a Google Alert for my keyword.  I find plenty of ideas to write about.

Note: If your use someone else’s content, without re-writing it substantially, make sure you give full credit to the author and a link to the original source.

Double Note:  Remember to submit all of your blog posts to your social networks so you continue to feed them fresh content.  It’s all about building your Social Networking Spider Web.

GETTING QUALITY CONTENT ON YOUR BLOG

Well, here we are talking about blogs some more.  I guess you’ve realized the importance of the blog to the foundation of our strategy in building a Social Networking Spider Web.

All Internet marketing guides stress the importance of using only quality content on blogs.  What is good content and where the heck do I get it?  I can’t write that much!!

Take a look at the very nature of blogs and what your blog needs to be: a highly informational and personal site which addresses a set of topics in a specific niche. Also, when designing your blog don’t make it too complex, stick to the simple themes that allow users to perform actions easily on the page.  You do not need to run out a purchase a premium WordPress theme.

We’ve also discussed how you need to create the content for your site around some high-in-demand keywords that users type in the search box of Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. In some respects, the more the keywords you have in your content, the higher the chances to have your blog appear in the first result pages.

However, many bloggers understand keyword density the wrong way. The blog content should naturally include the keywords in an easy-to-read kind of way; a keyword density that goes higher than 2 or 3% could make the articles less appealing to the reader.

For example, one of my primary keywords for my business is “social networking spider webs”, if I used the term “social networking spider webs” in every other sentence, you would get tired of the term “social networking spider webs”, plastered everywhere.  Sorry ‘bout that, had to do it…….

There are some tips you may want to consider when creating quality content for a blog. First of all, regardless of the domain and the target audience, it should be reader-friendly and even reader-targeted if it be the case. This means that you need to keep your content on-target for your niche/blog.

You should also write everything in short or medium-sized paragraphs so that the information naturally flows without being too hard to track when being read on a monitor.

Statistics show that blogs that include links in the very article content are more successful than those who present links at the bottom of the page.  For example: links inserted in the natural flow of the article allow the reader to get immediate access to the concept being discussed and to provide the opportunity to show interest for specific products or services.

Common sense ways for Optimizing your blog for search engines

Competition is fierce online and the top places on the search result pages are the most hunted for; therefore, any blog owner who tries to make money on the Internet needs to use a comprehensive strategy to attract the best visitors and the highest traffic.  By having a blog and building a social networking spider web around it, you will be working to optimize it for the search engines.

As mentioned in our last post, the primary factor for blog optimization for search engines is the keyword. When you start the race for SEO (search engine optimization), you already have an advantage: blogs are usually the ones to receive more traffic then other complex sites due to their highly informational content. By keywords we mean those sentences or structures that a user types in the search box of an engine like Google, Bing or Yahoo.

Blogs mainly rely on articles that are regularly updated and re-freshened, so that they have something new to offer all the time. Before you write your blog content, you’ll need to make a list with all the keywords related to your niche/domain and which are most likely to be typed in the search box by Internet users. A brain-storming session is ideal to find the best structures you need to include in the articles; keep in mind that there are some rules you may have to follow here as well.

For example, choosing some very general keywords is not the best way to promote a business via. The explanation is very simple here: search terms that are too broad attract all sorts of users, even those that are not interested in purchasing something. SEO experts use all sorts of parameters to check the profitability of a blog, and one of them deals precisely with the number of relevant users the web-page gets.  (More on stats and analytics later.)

Once you start to use the most high-in-demand keywords you’ll still have to do a lot of other types of work in order to keep your blog position high in traffic. There are many strategies for this and we are going to get to them, after we build our Social Networking Spider Web. Building a Social Networking Spider Web offers the greatest bang for the buck ROI of all the tactics, except for having a lot of quality content on your blog.

Quality content remains the golden rule of search engine optimization: quality informational content is the foundation of any successful blog!

Hi, this is Mark Schwartz, Builder of Blog and Social Media Spider Webs for businesses and internet entrepreneurs.

Throughout my life I have spent years working on some type of marketing endeavor. I must say, that I thoroughly enjoy all the challenges and thrills of being a professional marketer. Most of all, I appreciate all the many great friends I have made throughout the years.

It is my belief that every business owner needs to develop a strong presence on the Internet in order to promote their brand, prosper and maintain profitability. If you are a business owner, it is a matter of survival for you to get your web site and blog in the “top rankings” of the major search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. If you are not on the first page of the search results you do not exist.

Primarily, I build Blog and Social Media Spider Webs for business

In the past, I have worked with numerous companies in product marketing, product development and in launching a number of start up businesses. My view and passion is that technology is the great business enabler and it allows any business owner the opportunity to successfully compete in this crowded world. There are opportunities everywhere, and magic happens to those who take action.

I have been blessed with a wonderful wife and three girls and live in the foothills of the Cascades, just east of Seattle.

Okay…I had already asked a question a few days before about why my blog doesn’t come up when I used the Google search engine, even though I have entered my website’s whole address (copy pasted) into the search box…

I reviewed the answers, and I found out that my website actually does come up inside of Google…

And now, to be totally honest…I’m actually using my blog for affiliate marketing for a certain website…and I think I get the drill on how to use the blog for it…my only problem is…I can’t seem to make my website to show inside the normal Google search engine (you know, the www.google.com place…) cause that’s the place where people search for things, right?

Can anybody help me on this? Oh yeah, I had already aired the website since late October…
