1. "Digg Boss"
 
LAST EDITED ON Oct-08-07 AT 07:27 AM (PST)
 
DiggBoss - Trade "Diggs" and "Stumbles"...


A reciprical Digg program where members trade the "digging" of each other's pages. At this time, you need to digg two other pages to have one of your own "dug".

DiggBoss is by invite only. Each member can invite 3 other members.

I presently have 2 accounts, which means I have 6 invites. I'll give my to folks I know will pass them on...

Here's the rules: If you want an invite from me or any other member, you must give away at least one of your invites to another member so that we can all be included.

If you want one of my invites, post below and I'll PM (private message) you.

You then agree to offer an invite to another member.

So please post:
- If you want an invite
- If you have one or more invites for someone else

Note: You should have an account/nickname at Digg and StumbleUpon before joining DiggBoss.

Join Digg here:
http://digg.com/register

Join StumbleUpon here:
http://www.stumbleupon.com/sign_up.php

Arggg! I logged in to my account and my invites weren't active until I use the account more...Give me a little time to get past the "launch rush" of this forum and I'll get them to you ASAP...This is a big part of the forum.

   Bike Mike has a WSO running to automate the process for Web 2.0 submissions for $7! http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=190615

I recommend that everyone get accounts at:

- del.icio.us
- Furl
- Technorati
- Spurl
- Simpy
- BackFlip
- Mobleo
- Madagoo
- NetFav
- IKeepBookMarks
- Sparkhive
- LinkOrganizer
- Claimid
- Murl
- Easybm
- Syncone
- Lilisto
- ShockStart
- OnlineBookmarkManager

Then when we recommend sites, we can really move things fast. Just do not spam!

Hope this is helpful,

Blessings,

Ed

7. "RE: Web 2.0"
 
As Ed said, our goal here isn't to spam the bookmark sites, but rather to join together to bookmark our VERY GOOD pages.

It's my opinion to have pages of varying quality...From spam to excellent, high-quality pages, using the lower quality pages to build links and push traffic to the quality, money pages.

Everyone should spend time creating that "great" page or site, making what's known as a "link bait", which is content so good, people natuarly want to link to it.

When you have these link bait pages, that's when we'll team up and give a little extra bookmark "love".

Bookmarking crap doesn't work well, anyway, and only gets accounts banned.

8. "OnlyWire Accounts"
 
I have a good friend that is a master "blackhat mass blogger", mostly WordPress/Blogger, that will be joining us soon.

One thing he does is create lots of OnlyWire accounts.

If I can talk him into it, would anyone here be interested in buying OnlyWire accounts for $10?

What he does is register for 8-10 of the services offered by OnlyWire. You can so this yourself for free, but this will save you some time.

Let me know if anyone is interested in this or not...


-Boom boom boom boom.

   alright here you go:
http://diggboss.com/signup.php?r=1646&c=5a2ind2bnz471837ef94

just a few things to remember...

1. diggboss requires that you have added a profile image to your digg account. get something from one of these free images sites at the end of kurt's big list and edit using gimp etc. if you don't already have one to use.

http://www.dombom.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=21&forum=DCForumID42&viewmode=all#2

2. you need to digg some entries before you can give away your invites. diggboss doesn't provide a direct link to pages on digg in order to stay stealth. save yourself some hassle by using a digg toolbar of some sort. if you are a firefox user, you can find one here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4878

3. you can get credit from diggs people signed up under you made so there's actually a BIG insentive to give invites back to forum members if you are going to use this service to boost traffic to your sites.

happy diggbossing everyone
jo

13. "Swicki - Traffic Opportunity?"
 
   First, I want to thank Kurt for starting this forum and allowing me in here.

http://www.swicki.com

or

http://www.eurekster.com

Go to the page and click one of the "top swickis" to see an example of a "SWICKI". Click any keyword in the tag cloud to see a results page. They utilize regular text and videos.

I've recently gotten some unexpected traffic from this Web 2.0 site. A swicki is a custom social search portal on any topic of your choice. They pull results from the web, but also allow you to recommend sites. With every search, vote, and click, your swicki generates more and more relevant results.

After checking my logs, one of my sites turned up in one swicki member's search results (from the web). I went to the page to check it out, and saw that I could recommend any site for the search results of that page, so I put my own site as a recommendation. After the author's approval (you have to get the author's approval), my site began showing up as the number one result (recommended sites are always listed at the top). Everyday I would get traffic from this site, and hence make a few dollars from advertising sources.

I stumbled on this by accident, but if we do enough research (using any of our many tools), we can can utitlize swickis that:

1)Generate regular volumes of traffic for certain niche search queries.

2)Have very few recommended sites, or any at all.

The catch may be getting the swicki's author to approve our recommendations. I was fortunate in my example, so hopefully we can find other grateful swicki authors who will do the same. The key would be to make sure our recommended sites are interesting and specific to the search term we are targeting.

Hey Guys,

Hmm...I'd like an invite if someone doesn't mind.

I tried Jo's link and got this error message:

"You have followed an invalid invitation link. Please find another!

What is DiggBoss?"

Thanks....

Oh brother....Here's a message reported at another forum:

Due to a request from Digg (yes the real digg.com) we have to stop offering digg exchanges.
Their lawyer sent us a cease and desist letter; we have until the end of this month to comply.
So let's enjoy our last days

Oh well, at least we didn't get too involved...

   ROTFLMBO!

Yeah, I know the situation isn't funny, but it hit me just right. It seems like every time I get involved with newer SB sites something happens.

Personally, I can't say I didn't almost see this coming from reading a post a couple weeks ago about another site that tried to do something similar.

However, I am sure there will be others to join.

   I was just starting to try to understand this concept. I guess this shows why things like these have to fly "under the radar" in order to succeed. When they get too popular, things get ruined.

24. "Digg Boss Now piqq.us"
 
Ok, it seems that DiggBoss is back, just using a new name...Here's their newest announcement:

-----------------------
we are delighted to announce that:

#1 Your account(s) have been moved to http://piqq.us

#2 The domain name diggboss.com has been sold

Starting from 2 November 2007, domain name diggboss.com is not mine anymore.
I disclaim all responsibilities related to that domain.

So, our new URL is www.piqq.us.

There is nothing new; we just changed the name to avoid future problems with trademarks.

Thank you for being a DiggBoss www.piqq.us member.

admin
www.piqq.us

--------------------------

Getting an article on the front page of Digg can generate a lot of traffic. But that's not our goal, as the traffic isn't of great value.

But, another benefit is that it will almost always create a lot of one way links, which is our real goal.

We could set up our own Digg exchange, however I feel it's best to go through www.piqq.us as it will give us greater "stealth". We can "digg" each others' stuff through Piqq and earn points.

I'm looking for a volunteer who is willing the lead this project and get to know Piqq and Digg/StumbleUpon and can help us organize ourselves.

Who wants to volunteer?

   Kurt,

Cool, thanks for letting us know!

I know someone who deals with Stumbles and does other web 2.0 sites regularly that just joined....that's hyperpower (Chris).

Maybe he'll pop in here and take the initiative.

I don't normally deal with these sites. I outsource to get that stuff done.


Chris,

If you happen to read this thread, I think you'd be a good one to do something like this as you already do it on the side with other people. HINT!

   results.

I made my first squidoo page last week. I made it to target my favorite term " famous internet marketer ".

Normally I have 3 - 5 of the top spots on google and msn. I new this would be easier for me to track results.


Here is the page. http://www.squidoo.com/famous-internet-marketer/

results: This page after being up just over a week, is out ranking a video I have on same topic in google video. My video page has been up almost 2 years.

Just sharing.

   You should be VERY careful with digg

I joined a forum a month or 2 ago and we also digged / stumbled our pages, but digg is a THOUGH one ! If they know a service doing exchanges it get banned ( like here a warning)

Sorry guys for late reply, that's me Mary referring to. Yup yup I can do stumbleupon and onlywire, and i got up to 3 different accounts for that. Well I guess it will be great if we trade out bookmarking power here eh?

By the way kurt, in your opinion does onlywire really helps alot?

Did you see Kurt's original post where he asks:

Who wants to volunteer?

This is what I was talking about.

Want to give it a go since you already know Stumbles pretty well?

30. "Traffic 2.0 Report"
 
LAST EDITED ON Nov-20-07 AT 01:40 AM (PST)
 
I bought resale rights to this report. It focuses on getting traffic using various Web 2.0 resources:

www.dombom.com/iframes/Traffic2.0.pdf

One thing I disagree with is that WordPress is the only choice as a blog platform.

IMO, it is rarely "either/or", but usually "all"...And I don't think a real good linking network should be all WP blogs, but should also include some Blogger blogs.

Hey Christopher,

If you want to be the leader of this project, you'll get free upgrades.

Bascially, you'll need to lead a group of folks that want to "trade" diggs and bookmarking.

Let me know if you're interested...

34. "RE: Using Blogs and Digg to Get Traffic"
 
   Hey guys!

Here is somethig that i found in a blog on digg which i kept in my swipe file.. pretty cool..

Exploiting Digg To Rank Better

Yes, I haven’t blogged in a while - apologies. I got burnt out this first part of the year, with long work hours and personal projects so I took a couple of months break doing “non-computer” stuff. Writing a decent post takes a lot of effort, so I figured rather than drag Digerati down with low quality posts, I’d just save a bunch of stuff up for when I had the energy to get it all down. I’ve started catching up on some reading and I’m ready to start you off with a teaser article about using Digg to get yourself ranked better.

What’s the plan?

Okay, the plan is this. We are going to produce an article, get it to the front page of Digg, grab all the links that this gives you and turn them into something valuable for your website. A lot of people try similar methods and fail miserably, never getting off the “upcoming stories” page on Digg. So we’ll be looking at solutions to:
• How to make a powerful Digg account
• How to write a “Diggable” article
• How to guarantee front page coverage
• How to make your links relevant

With no further fanfare, lets get cracking.

A little about Digg and Digg accounts

The Digg community, much like Wikipedia does not really take kindly to “SEO types” or people trying to promote their own articles or websites. If you’re caught Digging your own stuff, or just spammy crap over and over, you’ll get your account suspended. Building up a “powerful” Digg account is a reliable (but long-term) method of making sure this strategy works well. If you create a new Digg account and Digg a story, your Digg (vote) carry less weight/authority, whatever you want to call it, than say a user who has been registered for 2 years and has Dugg thousands of stories. There is a kind of “trust” game going on with Digg and you need to get in on it. One way Digg looks at your behaviour and measures trust is by which stories you Digg. Do you only vote for the crap stuff? Or are you joining in voting on stories that are really popular? How long have you been around on Digg? When you post a story, how many Diggs does it get?

You essentially want to build a “upstanding citizen” profile on Digg. This will take time, but I mention it now because it will save you the (albeit small) expense that this tactic incurs in the future. So, as a beginning and side note to this strategy, make a point of logging into Digg everyday and doing these things:
• Look at the first dozen or so top stories and give them a Digg
• Search for stories posted by powerful Diggers and add these Diggers as your friends
• Whenever your friends post a story, make sure you Digg it immediately

The last point there is one of the most important. If you have 200 friends and you make sure you Digg their stories when they post, they will, generally without question return the favour to you. When I post a story on Digg I can get 30-40 Diggs within an hour or so just from my friends list which helps me reach the top of the “upcoming” stories list, which is your first milestone.
Bare that in mind and I’ll write the rest of this post for those who do not have powerful Digg accounts.

Choosing a subject and writing a successful article

If you’re not an experienced Digger, I suggest you take a quick trip over to Digg.com and have a look at some of the top voted stories over the last month or so. Try and get a ‘feel’ for what makes a successful story and think about the Digg audience (which is mostly techies, geeks etc…) and look at what kind of stuff interests them. To give you an idea, I’ve noted down some observations I’ve made:

• Top Tens! Very, very popular. A lot of articles are “Top 10 list of…” or lists of… stuff… To make a story hugely successful, it has to be accessible. A lot of people will be put off if you Digg a 3 page long text heavy story, no matter how funny.
• Sarcasm, humour, parody. “High brow” kind of jokes, poking fun at corporations, politicians, or simply well photoshopped images go down a storm. You know all those “Fw:Fw:Fw:BRILLIANT JOKEZ!!!11″ emails that land in your inbox from loved ones? Think the opposite of this type of humour and you’ll be well away.
• Retro stuff! Nostalgia is a powerful tool. Think thundercats, transformers, spectrums, amigas, all your base are belong to us.
• Weird geeky science stuff.. Black holes, UFOs, teleportation, time-travel. In list format where possible. Everybody loves off-the-wall useless facts.
• Once you’ve got a theme, tie as much is as possible. If you can squeeze some current buzz in like the release of a film and tie it all together with a “thundercats versus the new movie transformers” or such like, you’re onto a winner.
• Lastly, make sure it hasn’t been done before! (Or do it a hell of a lot better).
Okay, hopefully you’ve started thinking along the right lines now. You want to try and pick a topic that is related to the content of your website. This is probably the hardest part and you might need the help of a friend or two to brainstorm. A good example I saw recently was for a travel insurance company, a list of “the top 10 most dangerous travel destinations” was created, with brilliantly photoshopped images of each country, making it worth Digging just for the photos, let alone the article which was written dripping with sarcasm and good humour. Making a story controversial, may seem risky (don’t worry about that for now), but it is exactly the kind of buzz you’ll need.

Putting your article up

If it’s your first attempt, it might be worth getting a friend or two to cast an eye over it, to get their thoughts and make sure you’ve hit the nail on the head. Once you’re happy with your article, things get a bit more sneaky. Create an orphan page on the domain you want to boost and put your article here. An orphan page is once that is not linked from your site (or sitemap) or linked back to your site. This will reduce any negative impact if you’ve written a particularly controversial article and throw people off the scent of what you are trying to do. If you’ve written an excellent article that really sits well with the rest of your sites content, then by all means, put a link with anchor text of your choosing at the bottom of your story to your website. Lastly, you’ll want to add a “Digg this” and at a later stage perhaps a “Reddit” (or social network of your choosing) button to your page. This will encourage more people to Digg your story, who land on it from other sources. Now. login to Digg and post your story and give it an exciting title (this doesn’t mean CAPS!), and a taster intro. This bit isn’t too hard. If you’ve already got some friends they will hopefully Digg it for you.

Nobody is Digging my story!

Okay, if you want to make the front page of Digg, there are people that can help you. If you head over to www.subvertandprofit.com, you’ll find an entire network designed to giving your Digg stories than initial “boost” they need to go viral. In a nutshell (I’ll let you read through the site), you pay $1 per Digg you wish to buy and users on the site who have Digg accounts are paid to Digg your story for you. Now, if you’ve written an okayish article, you’ll only need to buy about 50 Diggs (so $50/£25) worth to get you front page. The rate at which you receive Diggs (and the previously mentioned “power” of a Digg have a lot more to do with your stories position than the total amount of Diggs. Once you’re story has reached this critical mass, it tends to snowball.

Wait! Wait! $50?! Does it work? Is it worth it?

I’ve used this tactic half a dozen times now, with what I would consider “okay” articles and I’ve hit the front page every time giving me thousands of visitors and more importantly, thousands of links. Yes it works, yes it damn well is worth your fifty bucks (sorry my fellow English readers, but $ is the currency of the net, deal with it). So, buy your initial Diggs, sit back and make sure you have well hell of a server! The first time I did this, I crashed my server due to the visitor load!

What’s the point of all of this? Explain!

Right, your getting thousands of visitors to an orphan page, what the hell use is that? Okay, cool your jets. What we’re really gaining here is links, lots of natural, beautiful website citations! If you’ve chosen your topic well (such as travel insurance: travel destinations) a lot of your incoming anchor text will also be relevant to your main site content. As mentioned in a previous article, you’ll be giving your website a massive shot in the arm when it comes to link velocity, which will help your rankings across the board. Having a #1 Digg story will give you the so called “long tail Digg effect”, which will see you get a whole bunch of links over the next couple of months, after the first massive influx.
What good are links to an orphan page?

A contested point, which I have experimented on (in the most controlled way possible - nothing’s perfect). Google has a “trust/authority” scoring for your domain as a whole, not just individual page strength. If you get a few thousand links to any page on your domain, Google knows the page is part of that domain and will raise your domain’s authority as a whole. Using this method, I have simultaneously jumped rankings over a dozen or more keyterms (usually going to 30-40 places in SERPs), using no other method. So it definitely works and let the nay-sayers do as they wish. Having more links to your domain, from a variety of good sources, with relative anchor text will give Google a clearer indication of your site’s content and authority, thus improving rankings.

A few tail notes

To put the last nail in the competitions’ coffin, a few months down the line when your article isn’t receiving many links anymore, remove the page and 301 it to an internal page of your choosing. This will give a specific page on your site a shot in the arm and increase rankings for that specific page. I generally just go for my main homepage, as the anchor text will be fairly mixed and you want to keep individual pages very targeted in terms of incoming anchor text.

A closing note, don’t bother putting Adsense/ads etc on your Digg article to try and squeeze some extra bucks out of it. Digg users are notoriously savvy and you’ll get the lowest click-through rates you’ve ever seen in your life and may well damage the popularity of your article.

There we go, a nice and easy way to gain a few thousand decent links! This was a taster article to get you guys (and me) back into the swing of things. I’m sitting on a massive 4 part guide to building a network of affiliate sites and automating the whole process. I’m not quite sure what to keep/remove from these next articles yet, but I’ll be posting on roughly a weekly basis for a while, so there’s a lot more to come. As always, good luck, let me know how you get on and drop me a line if you want to be my Digg friend!

   Kelvin,
there is free:

PHP DUG
http://www.kubelabs.com/phpdug/
DEMO: http://demos.kubelabs.com/PHPDug/

and then there is also free http://www.pligg.com/
which has some nice commercial templates available

and there is the extended and not free version of scuttle.org http://scuttleplus.org/ (which would be my favourite!)

if you still want to get rid of 250 bucks why not sending them to me

   I did not want to spend $250, at least not yet. That's the point.

But back to strategy, my ideal or understanding is that if I want to hit a niche hard (longrun), that by running a niche bookmarking service for say pets or more specifically, domestic pets/ ie. cats and dogs, then I could setup a bookmarking service, with the intention of targeting this niche.

And the bookmarketing service would be like having a self building search engine. If this is correct so far, then i as the owner could export the pet related links, and use them in multiple other ways, such as fatbomb, rss, etc.

And I could also seed the bookmarketing service with my own pet related links.

Any thoughts.

Yes, I ready the description, but not much there. Yes, it states multiple sites, but not having used such sites much, I know little about them. And I am looking at strategy, and find little in discussion about why you want to run your own, and out of hte box thinking on the subject.

Also, "our little script", is that a reference to a Tuelz?

In the mean time, I think I will be getting scuttle.

   Kelvin,
(I dont have a scuttle) but the problem might be that you dont have much control on what will be posted there....

I was thinking more of setting up an artifical linking network amongst the members here with scuttle or scuttleplus.
You could use one of the bookmarking tools to post to them

Hey Mike,

Thanks.

Everyone...This is a GREAT PDF for those interested in linking, 2.0 and SEO.

There isn't anything really new, but the author has organized everything into a nice package and created a step by step guide to exploit Web 2.0.

If you are really serious, you'll print out this PDF and go down the list and check off each step.

Mix this check list with the ideas, resources and strategies in this forum and you'll go a long way.

The one drawback is most of her guide is "manual labor", but is another great opportunity to trade skills.

It will take weeks, if not months, to compete her check list and add our own "twist"...But those that put in the time and effort have a HUGE advantage over the others.

Here's a step by step plan that mixes perfectly with this forum...There's nothing hard or technical. Just a bunch of simple things to do...

Either do it, or don't. But no excuses.


-Boom boom boom boom.

Hi Chris...

Looks like she's removed the download link and having folks give their email address on the homepage in order to download the PDF:
http://www.socialmediadaily.com/

It's a minor inconvenience, but worth it IMO...I didn't download it thinking it was online...Looks like I need to sign up.

   Hey guys,

I think I just found another really good 2.0 source we could use - www.hubpages.com

The only thing is, I'd appreciate it if you kept this resource here in this forum for no because I was thinking of writing a quick report on it and run it as a WSO.

It has a PR6 and is about 22? on Alexa. Not that I go by the stats on Alexa, they aren't too reliable. BUT, the site is a worthy site.

In case you don't have a clue about it, it is much like squido, but some of Microsoft's crew (3-4 of them) put it together. And yes, they even have adsense, ebay, and amazon ads for yuou to place on your hub if you want to make some extra income.

I spoke with a friend who tried it about 9 days ago, and he said he's tripled his traffic on 2 sites posting only 4 articles. That's a jump from about 350 to over 1,000 daily. And yes, I know him quite well ... well enough that he will tell me straight.

Hope this helps ...


Mary

>Hi Mary

Karsten,

Serious about which?

The WSO - the site - MS people - traffic - What in particular are you asking about?

Spill it will ya already!

In either case, I am very serious.

You may have heard of the site, but I haven't yet if that is what you are getting to.

If everyone else seems to know about it I don't guess there's any sense in a WSO then lol, but I am very serious about the other stuff.

Btw, do I detect a bit if snydiness in your post lol???

Karsten,

Hubpages may have been around for some time, but it is the first time I ran across the site.

Plus, I've never seen it mentioned on the forums I frequent, and I frequent many.

Shees, no one can possibly know every website on the Internet lol. I know I don't. Besides, I bet there are many in here who haven't heard of it.

Btw, if you send me the details of the software you have in mind, I'll see what I can do. No joke either kid (couldn't resist lol)!

I am sure the Bombers will use it.
Also, what do you have against being called kid? It is a figure of speech when you get to be my age around these parts.

Hmm ... sounds like a good making for a WSO still. I was thinking of creating hub pages for people with X amount of content. Eveyone's so use to lenses you know.

Anyway, it's still a good resource ...

Hey Mary,

Three sites I've recommended for silver sites are squidoo, Zimbio and www.hubpages.com . All three have a good reputation and built in revenue streams.

The one thing with hubpages is that they use the nofollow tag on all links.

However, links are as important as traffic...So share your tips!


-Boom boom boom boom.

Mary,
Every day I discover something "new" which is already around for a long time. Didnt know about Zimbio before Kurt mentioned it here....

"Btw, if you send me the details of the software you have in mind, "

there is already a WSO for a similar type of software

"I was thinking of creating hub pages for people with X amount of content"

good idea - check out http://www.buildmylens.com/ and look at their prices you will be rich in no time )

if you keep calling me kid I think it is only fair if I start calling you mom - ROFL - (sorry couldnt resist )))

Kurt,

Must have missed it when you posted the link.

Thanks for letting me know about the no follow on the links. I'l keep that in mind.


Karsten,

You've gotten a bit bold haven't you?

Seriously, I did not know about that software being a WSO either. I haven't been in that section of the forum for a while now.

Btw, I saw where that was Kevin and Tiff's coy. Where do you think I got that idea lol.

And na, I am not ready for you to call me mom yet so I guess I won't call you kid anymore. Deal?

Now let's get back on topic ...

Mary. by no means but bear in mind I am not a native speaker and since I love to crack jokes sometimes they might come across different then they were meant to be

I was talking about this tool here:
http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=214076

something like this for creating hubpages might be a good idea BUT most probably these guys are already in the starting blocks to do it...

last but not least I give up on the kid thing - you can keep calling me "kid " LOL

65. "onlywire question"
 
   I have been using Onlywire to bookmark my squidoo and hubpages and decided to check a few random bookmarking sites that onlywire supports and found none of my webpages have been bookmarked using onlywire. I have entered the username and password as instructed and am told that the page has been bookmarked but in actuality it is not. Has anyone had that experience? I am not going to spend much time on this as there are several ways to get my sites bookmarked but wanted to see if any others have had a problem...it could be on my end.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

I haven't used OnlyWire firsthand, but have read others say that has a high "failure rate".

67. "Ping.fm"
 
   Umm .. yes, back again. And that was a very bad pun because I injured my back and couldn't sit at the PC for more than a very short time. Gave me lots of time to think and read though

I came across ping.fm, which is currently in beta. It lets you ping several social bookmarking sites at once ... including My Space, Twitter etc. There's a free WP plugin to use with it as well.

You need a beta code to join up at http://ping.fm and the current code is "pingsauce". The codes do expire regularly but I know this one works now.

The plugin is called PingPress.fm .. haven't had a chance to use it yet.
"Allows you to spread your wonderful blog to 10 social networks via ping.fm. No WordPress modifications are required to use this mod."

I've also just started experimenting with twitterfeed, using it to post my blog posts to twitter (I use a separate twitter account for each site). I've already had traffic to a blog I put up late last night, and that plus pinging using feedburner is all I've done to promote it.

Now I have lots of catching up to do!

Isobel

   Thanks for the link to the ebook from http://www.socialmediadaily.com/

As someone that has never tried any of these techniques before I found this ebook to be very useful.

This is more informative and better written than many ebooks that I have paid good money for.

If you haven't picked it up yet make sure that you grab it while it's still free.

All The Best,


Tony

Hey Tony,

I agree...This is one of the best resources around, and it's free. For those that need a daily, step by step plan, they should download this.

I'd post a daily plan of my, but see no reason as socialmediadaily pretty much covers it all.


-Boom boom boom boom.
