Google has finally done it.
The new traffic generating buzz word is Social Marketing. Using social sites to create traffic and increase your position in the search engine results has come of age.
There are so many social bookmarking and social networks on the net that it can be tiring and time consuming to broadcast your site and products out into the socialsphere.
There are so many people here on Jason's that have their own sites that promote their books or products and services that I wanted to tell you about the biggest news to come into this area ever.
Google, very quietly, has jumped into social marketing in a huge way. You can get in on the ground floor of a method of marketing your products with using the might of Google. And they are mighty and smart too. They have introduced changes that will let you incorporate all your social marketing efforts in one place.
This will save you tons of time and effort. Whenever Google does anything it is big and has a huge impact on the net as a whole.
I was introduced to a guy who has worked night and day trying to figure out the most effective way to generate traffic using social sites. His name is Chris Lang. He is a SEO guy that knows his stuff on how to increase your site's popularity, which in turn means more traffic, which means more sales.
He has compiled this new information into an ebook called "Wickedly Evil Social Marketing Tactics" Don't misinterpret the name. This is all white hat, above board stuff, that gives you all the information on the new Google system plus breaks down 15 other social sites that people use to generate traffic. He tells us how to use them effectively and what value each one has. So it's not just about Google, it gives an overall picture on what works in this increasingly overcrowded world of social sites.
This info is just for people who want to increase their traffic and site popularity. It's not necessary if you use social sites just for fun.
There are so many people here that offer products or services through websites that I had to get this information out to you.
This is the second writing of this book because of what Google did on August 13th. Very few people know about this yet. I bought the first book and have just upgraded to the new edition. Just for the Google information alone it is worth the money.
Chris discusses 15 Social Networks like
Digg
StumbleUpon
My Yahoo
Propeller
MyBlogLog
Technorati
Flickr
Squidoo
And more
He gives you the way to maximize the traffic from each site and breaks down how effective they are to your search ranking, eliminating a lot of wasted time and effort.
If you don't use Social Marketing right now, You should. It is the new way to generate free traffic. If you are just starting, Chris's book will save you loads of time so you can concentrate on the sites that produce results.
And Google with this new initiative is going to take over the social marketing scene. Of that I have no doubt!
The rundown on the books contents is here. At the very least go to Chris's site and read his aricles about Social Marketing.
You can get in the ground floor of the next big thing to hit the Internet.
