I have been very addicted on using StumbleUpon, which I search some of the related websites on my niche and interests. I also studied on why do we need to Stumble our site? We'll, first of all StumbleUpon is a social bookmark or social media with the likes of Digg, Delicious, Twitter, Facebook and so on. I also search some topics on "Making Money With StumbleUpon". I did search it and I got good results, and I read the whole thing step-by-step.
We'll, don't you think that is easy to make money with StumbleUpon? We'll, all of the things like affiliate marketing and eCommerce are very difficult to make money and it requires a lot of knowledge in online and affiliate marketing which you have studied and applied it on your own. For StumbleUpon, I think it requires a lot of traffic that could generate you huge money, only if you don't use it a "blackhat" way.
It's pretty challenging right? There's one thing that I know that is not allowed on StumbleUpon, and that is paid shortening links like LinkBucks, LinkBee, Jacket Link Advertising and many more. Why? It's because they don't like spam attacks from other third party sites who try to take advantage of StumbleUpon and to break it's image on their faithful members.
I suggest that you create your very own landing page like Squidoo, Weebly, Yola, Blogger or WordPress, and there you can attach your own affiliate link or paid short link for the visitors to click and you make money online. Oh, I almost forgot of what my topic is all about. Why is it that we need to stumble our own website on purpose? We'll for me, it's because we want to increase my site's popularity on StumbleUpon and to increase the number of subscribers on my account.
In that way, I may be able to automatically update them and when they do receive my e-mail, they will click on the link and to complete offers or purchase a product with my affiliate or CPA link, or paid short links. We'll, if you guys think that StumbleUpon can give you loads of traffic and money, then try it for free. No risk about it, only follow the house rules!

Twitter now has followers as well as lists. We might have came across profiles having many followers and few lists. I would measure a twitter user strength based on the list. Many lists someone is on will prove that much more useful the person's tweets are rather than looking into the follower count. The twitter lists are more influencial because the lists are places where there is active participations. A list with people would probably get more listeners than the usual followers. The follower count can be increased while the list count comes when someone adds us to his/her list of a selected list of followers.I have recently came across a structure on how twitter will weight the list.
The above structure shows that list can be as effective just like sitelinks of a website which is an authority measure of that particular website in search engine. What are you thoughts about Twitter lits ? Please share you thoughts as comments or get in touch with me through my twitter.

A lot of rumours are being displayed in real time search results due to the real time search integration to search engine results. The false information are being promoted virally through twitter and other real time social media. How search engines would prevent this type of false information being displayed on their real time search results is not yet clear.
Search Engine's should come up with a new technology like Page Rank which I do like to call as Social Rank. The tweets that come online at real time in search engines should be based on the Social Rank. The social rank of each profile must be based on the credibility of the users social presence and interaction.
I hope that this way we can really get the correct news at the right time. Real time search should provide the correct news not just the real time data which might be false information.
In the morning on feburary 3rd, 2010 TV channels created a flutter airing incorrect information about the death of popular movie star in malaylam and it was tweeted virally. The real time search started showing the false information. At 1pm the channels said they regretted airing the false news but within this time the news had virally reached to thousands of people around the world.
The TCS hack was in the real time search results today. The website was hacked by a french hacker according to relevant sources and the domain was put to sale.
Real time search have its own merits as well as demerits like any other technology. Search Engines needs to ensure that they start measuring the Social Rank of each profile rather than the Page Rank which seems to be an irrelevant source to measure credibility.
Do you think Search Engines should measure Social Rank? Tell us what you think

Are you ready to spread the word for your own social media? I believe that social media is one of the fast growing business in the internet right now. But why is it that you must turn on your microphone for this? Is it you're going to audition like the American Idol? Or you want to be the next America's Got Talent? We'll, you're wrong.
Social media sites are designed for people who want to share anything they want with regards to entertaining them like videos, glitters, games, music, and anything that can entertain and attract the people like me. Some of the hottest social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube are now on the top of the mountain, while the rest are still developing.
If you're going to create another social media and would like to announce it, simply turn on your microphone by what? Of course, if you are launching a new product, service or website, it needs a press release. You will create your own press release by yourself and increasing the microphone's volume to submit into various top press release sites like Free-Press-Release, just like you shout your news to many people.
I believe that new social media sites are definitely needed mostly by webmasters and bloggers too, in order to increase their exposure by getting lots of backlinks and traffic to their website. I experienced it right now that when I want to shout using my microphone, people gather around on me. This is truly the same thing when I want to shout in a "quiet" way by using press release as my microphone to let people gather around and check the brand new social media of my own in the internet today. Is that simple, huh?

Did you always login to your Youtube account? Can anyone please tell me if we can do some video marketing and SEO using Youtube? There are more "Youtube sensations" there like MeekaKitty, Juicy Jabber, Shane Dawson, Fred Fowler, NixiePixel and many more which are successful in their video marketing just for entertaining lots of viewers out there.
But they don't know that if they could use affiliate and CPA offers to market into Youtube by the use of video, you can earn revenue, sales and leads from there because Youtube is very popular to video marketing, and lots of professionals out there are beginning to use Youtube as a source and portal of video marketing and SEO.
I can see that money making opportunity videos are there to attract more clients, customers and visitors in order to gain more views and increasing their leads of their program, and I think it's going to be great when I want to market my own money making system and other products I will promote from Clickbank, CJ, Amazon, etc.
Youtube is a very useful portal or social media for professional video marketing purposes, rather than Veoh, DailyMotion, Megavideo, etc. I already have a plan with my friends to make our own video to promote our services and other affiliate and CPA products and offer that can make us profit. It has lots of backlinks and millions of people are always logging daily and they have a very huge traffic also. It's good for online video marketing business.

The are lot of speculations going on in the SEO world. There have been a lot of predictions for 2010. The big question now is will the microlinks gain importance in the eyes of Search Engines ?. Blogging has changed from Megablogging to Microblogging. Twitter and Plurk are the most famous microblogging sites. While twitter has build up a strong presence in the Internet social media world, plurk has build a strong presence among Asia social media users especially users from Taiwan. My answer to the question is that there is high chance that Google starts giving more weightage to twitter microlinks as Google has already started to track the real time mentions. They have started showing the title as well as homepage of the website that is tweeted as microlink using bit.ly or using URL's shortened by other microlinking websites.This is a great sign that the tweets might pass some significant data that might be taken into consideration while search engines compute SERP changes.
Now the most important question comes up as how Google will determine which tweets are more relavant and which are not that relavant?. I would have to say that Google will use a similar meterics which they have been using for website relavance. Google has been using a concept like a webpage becomes important as more and more external webpages links of which more authority webpages are giving the links which have more number of backlinks. The same principal might be applied in the case of twitter profile. A twitter profile will get more authority if a lot of twitter profiles link to the particular twitter profile of which some of them are most famous twitter who have lot of followers and who follow a few. This will really make search engine conisered the twitter profile as a priorirty one and the tweets will get more importance.
Here is supporting view.
"One user following another in social media is analogous to one page linking to another on the Web. Both are a form of recommendation,” Singhal says. “As high-quality pages link to another page on the Web, the quality of the linked-to page goes up. Likewise, in social media, as established users follow another user, the quality of the followed user goes up as well". Read more here

Lately I have been playing with the idea of giving my Facebook pages some SEO love. After reading numerous posts, ebooks and other blogs and implementing some of the ideas given by those mediums that the following 5 tips are the ones that have worked the best for me.
So in no particular order, these are the 5 tips that I think would make most sense to use when giving your Facebook fan page some SEO luvvin.
1. Select a good page name
Create a clear and concise Facebook page name. Don’t get too worried about fitting as many keywords as possible in the page name. Name the title after your business or a phrase that will be most effective when people search for your business.
2. Vanity URLs
Facebook enables fan pages with over 100 fans to get a vanity URL. A vanity URL is a short facebook URL that is easier to remember then the standard Facebook URLs. For example, you could get www.facebook.com/yourbusinessnamehere and these URLs are extremely helpful in getting rankings.
3. Post something keyword rich in the About box
You know the box that sits on the left hand side of your profile page? Well, that little box sits relatively high up in the source code of the facebook page and is accessible to the search engines
4. Inbound links
Everyone knows that inbound links from authoritative websites helps to boost PR, this also applies to your FaceBook page. For example, you could use the “Find Us On Facebook” badge which Facebook has specifically created for this purpose.
However, Facebbook has also created guidelines for promoting your Facebook page, which state that they basically do not want you to claim that you have “officially” partnered with Facebook.
5. Outbound links
This one just seems obvious. Try and link out from your fan page to your company website/blog.

Have you used Twitter recently? It is one of the fast rising social networks in the history of the internet, by creating lots of followers as friends and to market your business to your followers through mass messaging. There are now lots of Twitter softwares that can add you followers daily and also publishers and authors are writing their own Twitter method to make lots of money for the affiliates. But this is true guys. Twitter is really a big potential in the market today.
One of my friends suggested told me that we will start their own “Twitter”. So what shall we do in order to start our own “Twitter”? We’ll, as far as I understand, Twitter is considered itself as a microblog, but with an attitude. Microblogs are very easy to start with, because all you have to do is to send a message so that the world will see it, base on your niche. There is a basic way to start your own microblog, and you can do it by using WordPress.
They have a basic prologue theme which is a microblog type but in a simple design. It is not attractive, but a good practice for you. In order to be professional, we need to invest some money for the following:
- Domain name
- Web hosting
- Professional Twitter clone script
- Hire programmers
- Hire data entry people for SEO and content
I think it can be estimated up to $500 of investment, but I need a plan in order to come up with this business, and to do some serious SEO for our “Twitter” like site. There are lots of “Twitter” like sites already, but I just want this to become popular real soon, and anything can happen here which every investor or entrepreneur can make a difference, by being successful on their investment, especially on microblogs.

Hello guys. Happy New Year to all! I am so happy that we are now in the new decade and it is a new beginning for us. A journey which I can start thinking to start my own business as an entrepreneur. We'll, me and my friends discussed with each other about planning a partnership business of our own. But we need to choose the best in the market today.
Social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are fast growing sites ever, so that's what we are planning to. But they are too competitive in the market and in the SERPS right now. But still, the important thing for me and for my friends is the unique visitors everyday. We don't care if our site is not on the top 100 pages, but traffic is the basis.
Why? We have Google Adsense of course. We can attach our Google Adsense ads in our social media site, of course it's a social networking site like Facebook and MySpace. The reason we need traffic is to increase the revenue sharing of our Google Adsense ads. We already know that social media is a fast growing business, but there are still lots of alternatives out there like forums, microblog, classified ad site or eCommerce.
So it really depends on our investment to create our own social media business. We have to be smart enough to create our own business, as well as to entertain and attract visitors as well if you want to be a successful entrepreneur someday. It's really worth to learn and to take risk of creating your business, because the more you do it, the more you learn how business is created from scratch to finish.

A lot of users right now are using Twitter nowadays. Now Twitter is one of the most popular social networking sites that has ever been used by an individual. Their objective is simple, as to follow users on their "tweets". Twitter has one question in mind which people has to answer, "What are you doing?". We have the freedom to post in the message board in any way like promoting your own business, products and services, affiliate programs, e-books and so much more. In Twitter, every time we post something and publish in their message board, they call it as "Tweet" in their own terms. Notice that there are others tweeting all the way they want, when you tweet your own, their tweets go down and you're on the top. Until you refresh it, you notice that your tweet is going down under till it's gone. But don't worry, your tweets are stored in your profile as well. If you're promoting something for yourself, you can shorten your link like bit.ly and tinyurl.com.
But what about the term "ReTweet"? What does it do for us? Retweet is a term which you tweet the same message all over again. It may come from other's blogs or website. This is truly applicable for both webmasters and bloggers like me. ReTweet is a HTML button that can be attached within your content. Let's say for example if you post a topic and want a ReTweet button, Google is your friend to search and copy the code in the first part of your content. Like we say Blogger, there's what we call "Edit HTML" and "Compose". You click the "Edit HTML" and you can see your content in HTML mode. It's very simple you know? After you publish the content, all you have to do is copy the link of your content alone, and replace the link part of your ReTweet HTML file to the link of your content, which will direct to Twitter and automatically saves your title of content which will be used automatically to "ReTweet" the message. Then, after you put the content of your link within the ReTweet HTML, you will copy paste it at the top of your body page in HTML mode....then you're ready to go. Your content is ready to "ReTweet" by millions of visitors if possible.
Don't "ReTweet" the homepage, and don't just stick to one "ReTweet" button. Instead every time you publish a blog post, always include a ReTweet HTML button, but the only difference is the link of your content which will be directed to Twitter and the visitor may login and automatically "ReTweet" your topic. This is one way of driving more traffic and backlinks to your blog, and potentially may increase your sales. Many of the bloggers are very successful and thankful for driving more traffic using the "ReTweet" button.
