There’s a Blog in my Soup

Are you Using Social Bookmarks like a Pro?

When you add a social bookmark link, whether it’s one of your own or not, you are helping other people sort the web, so to speak.

By tagging each link that you submit, others looking for the same material are able to find only the best information on a given topic.

By building a network of friends, and working to expand your network as far as you can, you can in turn build your brand recognition, and your website’s traffic as well.

If you have really good content to share, or really targeted content, it will get shared between many different users. Don’t ever discount Social Bookmarking - it does work.

Now that you know what social bookmark links are - are you using them?

You should have a script or program setup where every page that you want traffic to is easily bookmarkable.

The best way to do this is add a script or plugin (if you’re using wordpress or another such blog platform). You can use third-party widgets two good ones are: AddThis and Sharethis

You could lose out on a huge amount of traffic and clicks to your website if you’re not using bookmark icons on every important page. Here’s a good video overview to make social bookmarking even more clear:

Social Bookmarking in Plain English:

Social Bookmark Strategy: Diversify.

When you do decide to add social bookmarking links to your blog or website, you absolutely must go big - add at least 10-20 of the most popular sites. The major ones include digg, stumbleupon, reddit, mixx, delicious.

You absolutely must build networks of contacts on these social bookmarking and news networks, the more the merrier because they will be able to see the links that you bookmark, and they will share them and it will make for something pretty darn exciting - if a web page goes viral on a social bookmark site it can bring as many as 50,000 hits over a 1 week period.

I’ve been working on a Niche Site - I’ve tried joomla, wordpress and moveable type in an effort to basically create a conglomeration of info plus add an ebay store.

I’ve basically been testing and trying different methods. Nothing was looking the way I wanted it.

So I found a method using rss to simply create a portal related to my Niche, and that’s what I’ve done.

It is a little ad heavy - and afterall the point is to make money. However it also delivers up to the minute rss feeds, related videos, etc…

I would definitely like some creative criticism as this small Niche site is actually part of a much bigger plan to come that is going to be pretty huge. Let me know your thoughts.

I appreciate your time checking it out. The website is: UsedPalmPdas.com

What if you could make twice the money from an ebay store?

You can make the initial money for the sale of whatever product it is that you’re offering, but as a double whammy you can also make an affiliate commission for referring people to ebay.

Just think about that - you can make as much as $25+ per person who signs up for ebay. Plus if your site is targeted strictly to your product, add some other related affiliate banners, good seo, maybe a lot of tutorials relating to your items, and some ppc advertising, and you’ve got a guaranteed income online.

Here’s an example: Say you’re selling products that help people train their pets. Now say you put up a wordpress blog with a ton of tutorials and post an ebay feed with all of your products to your site, using your affiliate link. Now if anyone buys from you - you not only get the sale but the affiliate commission. Add PPC and a newsletter and you’ll explode your business!

Stay tuned - I’m working on an ebook about Niche Affiliate Marketing, and will be launching it in a few weeks.

Hirosito is an interesting word. Why am I blogging about Hirosito?

Tonight I was searching for niche keywords. I’m a big fan of the tv sitcom heroes,  so I put heroes into my webceo, under the ‘get suggestions’ tab. What I’m looking for are good niches with a high KEI.

Heroes yeilded Nada. After heroes, I tried the word “hero”. Still nothing. My favorite character on the sitcom is Hiro Nakamura. So the next term I put in was Hiro with an “i”.

I was flabbergasted when it pulled up the term: Hirosito.

I had no clue what Hirosito means but the kei is: 9,501,221.183. This is huge it’s the largest find I’ve ever found. Of course my blogging about Hirosito may create an influx of competition for this word, but I’m curious to see what may happen if I can rank in the top 10 for Hirosito.

According to webceo there are about 234,215 searches for Hirosito daily, however there’s only 5,770 competing websites.

I’m not the first to capitalize on this term obviously. According to hirosito.info - hirosito means internet marketing or seo. Someone who practices hirosito is an expert internet marketer.  Because I found it while using “Niche Marketing”, I personally am going to use it to mean Niche Marketing.

In the spirit of that, I am going to replace ‘niche marketing’ with the term hirosito, in future blog posts,  as an experiment in seo. Of course some believe hirosito, may actually mean HI, Rosito, which is definitely a possibility. Anyway you look at it, it is a cool word.

What are your opinions on Hirosito? Do you know any other meaning for Hirosito?

Want to help my hirosito experiment be a success? Blog about it, and link to this post.

One side note, my wife says Hirosito is a name, and that could certainly be the case, but it is a cool niche search anomaly.
