1.Make Tagging and Bookmarking Easy

Including content features such as quick buttons to “add to digg” is just one way to make the process of page tagging easier. Also make sure your pages have a list of relevant tags and suggested notes for a hyperlink. This is key since those links will appear automatically when someone tags a site. You should allow for social bookmarking, not just on your homepage but also on subsequent pages wherever content is posted.

2. Become a User Resource

Seek to enhance the overall value to users by adding outbound hyperlinks that lead to other marketers pages. When done correctly, you present yourself as a non-bias leader and information source. This helps social media optimization when others link to your social site and tag is as helpful. Overtime, your content will become more relevant to large search engines.

3. Reward Helpful Users

The most valuable social media participants are those who actively influence a given community. They seek out opportunities to assist others by contributing your experience or expertise. In return, try to elevate them by promoting their business or brand to your following. A brief email or direct message describing your sincere appreciation and belief in their contribution can go along way in building online relationships.

4. Participate in Content Creation

Social media is a two-way street. Don’t just rely on receiving information other community members. Reciprocate by adding value through free advice, recommendations or tools have you. You’ll find that certain content naturally spreads socially regardless of the industry or product. Whether it is creating widgets, making people laugh, or writing a term paper, it can be all be accomplished socially. Know what type of content can work for you and create it.

Conclusion

While the packaging of social media may be in a constant state of flux, these four pervading principles are good rules of thumb by which to operate online. Remember that text content is still paramount in optimization, however, integrating good content with a more personal and social element is a winning combination.

Before you actually start making enough money to have an advertising budget how do we get the most traffic to our sites without wasting our time and money?

Here are some of the first things you should do to get traffic to your website.  

1. Directory submissions. (In directory submission a website is enlisted with an online directory.)

How many directories should you submit to?

There’s no fixed number of directories that you should get listed in. Work out a 12 month directory submission budget for each site and then do so many each week or month for the full duration.

When you’re building links to your site via directories or any other method, you should do it over time. Submitting to 100 directories in a week and then forgetting about it won’t be as effective as spreading the 100 directory submissions over a 3 month period.

The top 10 directories

Finally, here’s a list of the top free and paid general directories to get you started.
5 of the best free directories include:

• Open Directory Project
• World Site Index
• Domaining.in
• Web World
• Search Sight

5 of the best paid directories include:

• Yahoo! Directory
• Best of the Web
• Business.com
• Aviva
• Ezilon

2. Social bookmarking. (In social bookmarking websites, users create and store bookmarks of their choice. These bookmarks can be viewed by others and that let them know about new services and latest concepts which are making news in the online world. For example del.icio.us, Digg, Furl, My Web, Reddit are some of the most popular social bookmarking websites)

The benefit of social bookmarking your content is so that you gain back links from these authority sites (which is essential for being found in the search engines) but also, if you content is worthwhile and interesting, you increase the chances of your submission being passed around other readers really quickly, which can of course result in a lot of traffic to your website.

 1 | digg.com
 2 | Yahoo! Buzz
 3 | StumbleUpon.com
 4 | reddit.com
 5 | Technorati.com
 6 | del.icio.us
 7 | kaboodle.com
 8 | mixx.com
 9 | Propeller.com
 10 | newsvine.com
 11 | Fark.com
 12 | Slashdot.org
 13 | twine.com
 14 | clipmarks.com
 15 | dzone.com
 16 | faves.com
 17 | blinklist.com
 18 | diigo.com
 19 | simpy.com
 20 | BlogMarks.net

3. Back links.

which are sometimes called inbound links, are incoming links to a web page or the entire website. These inbound links are important to search engine rankings because many different search engines have algorithms that measure the number of backlinks a website or web page has, and ranks those web pages with more backlinks in a higher position. The more backlinks a website has, the more popular it is, and the more pertinent the information is considered by search engine algorithms. Many pages concerned with search engine optimization have mechanisms to discover how many backlinks the web page or website has, so that particular company can not only know the exact number of times that it has been backlinked, but where these backlinks are coming from, and if they are from related sources or not.

    1) Write and submit articles to the top article directories. In each article include a resource box that contains a link pointing back to your website.

For additional keyword relevance try hyperlinking your primary keyword phrase to your site as well. As you begin to develop backlinks to your homepage begin deep linking to sub pages within your site from your article resource boxes too.

    2) Write blog articles and submit them to the top social directories. Search engines love fresh content and your blog articles will be spidered quickly if you submit them to the top social directories. We are talking about sites such as Digg, Stumbleupon, Propeller, Technorati, and more.

Each article submission creates a backlink to your blog or specific blog article. If you do not have a blog you are missing out on easy traffic and long term quality backlinks.

    3) Utilize social networking to create links pointing back to any web page you have. For example when you create a new web page announce it as an update on your Twitter account.

When you Tweet your followers this way you are creating back links to any webpage or blog post you make. Again the search engines will find these, as well as your readers, giving you more potential traffic.

Other popular social networks to join and create a profile with your website address in include Facebook, My Space, eEntrepreneur, and many others.

4. Collaboration.

Most people want to be the “one person wonder” or the sole entrepreneur in their business, which is fine. However, don’t underestimate the sheer power of teaming up with other well established websites directly and offering your content, help or other services in exchange for some exposure to your own website.

The classic “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine” effect comes into play here and trust me, it works like a charm providing you genuinely approach people to help them first.  The more social you become with your website at other sites, the more people will come to your site when you come to tell them about it.

These forums are huge and if you haven’t joined them yet you should stop what you are doing right now and go join them.  The amount of information and ideas packed into the heads of some of these guys over at these forums is astounding. 

Create an interesting Signature link.  Set a goal for yourself of at least 10 posts a day in each forum.   Offer to help people out when they ask questions.  Submit your site to their “review” section and review other sites in return.  Every single time I hang out in one of these forums I learn something new. 

 Another advantage to posting to forums is that the search engines will pick it up. The forums get indexed by the search engines just like any other website. This means that if someone is searching for a particular keyword phrase, and you posted to a topic that is relevant to that search, your post might show up.

It is important that you stay professional and be courteous of others in a forum. Once you get established and earn credibility, the more people will trust you. Over time you may even have the opportunity to become a joint-venture partner with a fellow forum member. An important point when posting to a topic is to keep your post relevant to the topic being discussed. You do not want to advertise anything in your post, just provide information that will be helpful to others.  Forum members are very protective of their forums and they can’t stand spam.  Spam just is not tolerated which makes these forums even more special and relevant.

If you are not involved in forums you are missing out on free website traffic that can easily be yours. Not only will you learn a lot and be able share and interact with others, but you will be earning backlinks to your site and gaining quality website traffic at the same time. The best part is that it does not cost anything except your time, so consider it as free advertising for your website or business.

So today instead of getting a huge list of forums to advertise on all you have to do is visit 2.  Get your site out there today. 

There is only one real secret to getting a lot of visitors to your website. That is merely figuring out where lots of your ideal visitors are, and standing in front of them.When you think of it in those terms, it’s really simple.

There are also only three real ways to get in front of the traffic flow. You can buy traffic, borrow traffic, or create traffic.

You buy traffic using pay-per-click search engines. It’s very dependable, and can give you a steady flow of consistent traffic.

The big drawback with using pay-per-clicks to generate traffic is that it can be very risky. Those who use pay-per-clicks to generate 100% of their traffic, and are considered the best of the best, will tell you that as many as 7 out of 10 campaigns that they set up will lose money. The professionals very quickly shut off the losers, and their winners more than make up for the losses, but it’s really not a game for someone not properly trained.

You can also buy traffic using an affiliate program. Since you only pay for the traffic when a sale is made, it’s a very low-risk method. Since your affiliates are sending you their best customers, you can also think of it as borrowing traffic.

I love the affiliate program model, and have numerous products sold via affiliate programs. I also sell a lot of others’ affiliate products. It’s win-win.

You can also create traffic by putting things on the Internet that people are attracted to. You can create content by writing articles or blogging for example. I love content creation and have written over 1100 different articles. My articles teach people how to solve pressing problems, and at the same time point them to me (my sites) as a great resource.

When you create content your big challenge is to get it noticed and indexed by the search engines, so that people can follow links from there to your site. It’s actually fairly easy – but time and labor intensive.

If your content is “viral” it will be something that others will happily share. Examples include in-depth articles, essays that touch people on a deep emotional level, or humorous videos that you post on YouTube.

Of the three methods of getting traffic (buying, borrowing, and creating it) my favorite has to be borrowing it… with creating it second. I generally only buy traffic when I need a really quick surge to test my website’s conversion process.

The key to generating an absolute flood of free traffic is getting noticed, getting backlinks, etc., from high traffic websites such as Google, Craig’s List, Yahoo, YouTube, and the various bookmarking and social networking sites.

This can be as simple is searching through Yahoo Answers for questions on your area of expertise, and then posting a great answer – along with an appropriate link to your website or product.

It can be as simple as searching through YouTube for videos on your area of expertise, and then leaving a comment along with a link sharing that they can find more information on the topic at your site.

It can be as simple as using the search engines to locate dozens or even hundreds of blogs and forums in your niche, and then interacting with these communities.

There’s only one problem with most of the methods that I just mentioned. They can be time consuming and labor intensive. Just locating active communities in your niche can literally take hours.

I do have a secret. I use automated software to monitor and notify me of active blogs, forums, and communities in my niche. I use automated software to notify me when they are discussing my area of expertise or there is a new video posted pertaining to my area of expertise.

When I discover a new resource, I then analyze it, and if appropriate, I interact with that high traffic site, and leave a link back to my site, which is a perfectly acceptable practice.

So there you have my secret for generating literally hundreds of thousands of free hits to even my newest sites. Of course, your site has to be about something that people are interested it.

I do strongly advocate using software to automate many of the mundane processes such as just finding these sites.

Many webmasters really struggle with website traffic generation, and there is absolutely no need to. You merely find the huge pools of traffic interested in your topic, and then you stand underneath the waterfall, and enjoy the cool, refreshing flow of new visitors.

Social_Bookmarking has developed into a powerful tool for SEO experts.

It is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata.

In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.

Most social bookmark services encourage users to organize their bookmarks with informal tags instead of the traditional browser-based system of folders, although some services feature categories/folders or a combination of folders and tags. They also enable viewing bookmarks associated with a chosen tag, and include information about the number of users who have bookmarked them. Some social bookmarking services also draw inferences from the relationship of tags to create clusters of tags or bookmarks.

Amazing Marketing Tools Website – Everything You Need To Advertise A Website

To find out what is acceptable when posting to forums, please read this short article: http://www.supertips.com/forums/howtopost.htm

One of the most important aspects of internet marketing is getting traffic to your website. If you send more people to your website, you will make more money. If you publish advertisements, your advertisers will pay more for the increased amount of traffic your website has and thus how much traffic you send them. If you sell a product or service, the amount of traffic you get will correlate very strongly with the amount of sales you make. In this article, I will explain some different ways you can get traffic to your website.

Pay for It – The first option is that you can buy traffic. You can do this by purchasing advertisements. You can buy banner ads or text links. You can even pay bloggers to blog about your website. You can also buy a certain amount of traffic from a pay-per-click service, such as Google AdSense, Microsoft AdCenter, or Yahoo Search Marketing.

Start a Blog – If you do not already have a blog, it is a great way to get traffic to your website. Both users and search engines love blogs because blogs are a constant source of useful and fresh content. Blogs generally come with standard features that cause them to help promote themselves. For example, they have RSS and ping services which notify others when you make a post. You’d be surprised how much a good blog can promote itself.

Forum Posting – Most forums allow users to put a link in their signature, which is displayed below their posts. You can take advantage of that by going to forums related to your niche, and posting in them with a link to your website in the signature. It will not work well if you spam. The trick is to make useful posts that interest other users and get them to click on your signature link. If your time is valuable, you can always pay other people to post on forums with a link in your signature, but you will want to make sure that they do not spam.

Article Marketing – Another way to promote your website is by writing articles and submitting them to other websites. At the end of the article, you can put a link back to your website. If the article is good, interested people will click the link back to your website .You can submit your article to article directories. You can also give the article exclusively to one website. Popular websites will be more willing to publish an article that is exclusive.

Blog Commenting – You can post comments on blogs, and you will usually have the option to enter your URL. When people read your comments, they may click through to see your website. This works much like forum posting. Again, the trick is to not spam but to make quality comments so that readers will be inclined to check out your website. The more helpful you are, the more helpful they will assume your website is.

Those are just some ways to get traffic to your website. Different methods work better or worse for different websites. Test out different ways of promoting your website and find what works best for you.
