Social Bookmarking Strategies For Success Wealth Masterminds Society Social bookmarking is one of the best ways to get your websites ranking well and for getting direct traffic. The search engines know that the social bookmarking sites are a direct indicator of what people are actual interested in. Sure, they know marketers use it, but they realise that the majority of content that is social bookmarked multiple times is real content that people are finding useful and interesting. You can take advantage of this and use social bookmarking to get your sites ranking well for their keywords. Firstly, you need to open an account on some social bookmarking sites. Rather than social bookmark each site manually, look at software such as OnlyWire which semi-automates the process. This will make your life a lot easier. Once you have your account set up, find some Internet marketing colleagues, friends or family who would be willing to set up an account themselves with Onlywire. Then you simply trade bookmarks. They bookmark your sites, you bookmark theirs. Most marketers only have their sites bookmarked once, and very occasionally more than once. The search engines are probably very aware of this and so pay more attention to sites that have multiple bookmarks on a single site. This simple technique can easily get you multiple bookmarks and will give your sites a much needed boost in the search engines. Alternatively, you can outsource the bookmarking and hire people to do it for you. This will very quickly add up if you are creating a lot of sites. You can find people on forums such as Digitalpoint who will do it very cheaply for you, but it is still going to add up. You can apply the same technique to sites such as Stumbleupon and Digg, both of which can potentially get you massive amounts of traffic. These sites expect more newsworthy and interesting articles. With a well written article you can expect thousands of visitors in a day, quite literally. Setting up multiple social bookmarking accounts yourself and bookmarking your sites is possible. However, these sites are smart and will realise what you are doing unless you hide behind proxies. This can be done, but often the hassle isn't worth it, particularly when it is easy to network with other marketers. Networking with other marketers and trading bookmarks also has a side effect of building your network Wealth Masterminds Society

of contacts. These could potentially turn into joint venture partners, product partners or more in the future. Social bookmarking is an excellent way for you to get traffic both from the search engines and from the social bookmarking sites. Do it well and you can benefit from great search engine rankings and massive traffic. StumbleUpon Thousands Of Visitors Wealth Masterminds Society Traffic is what all Internet Marketers are after. Though to be more precise, we are after targeted traffic, not just any old traffic. Targeted traffic means they are interested in what we have to offer and are therefore more likely to buy, signup or otherwise participate in our website. Many marketers spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours building traffic to their websites. In some cases, the cost of traffic generation far exceeds the meagre income made from the site itself. Aside from the usual traffic generation methods, there are other Web 2.0 techniques you can use to increase your traffic. One site in particular stands out with its ability to generate vast amounts of traffic very quickly. This site is Stumbleupon.com. It is a site that has a great following and offers something for people who are bored at work or at home. The basic premise is that you find a site you think is interesting (you Stumbled Upon it) and submit it to Stumbleupon. Visitors to Stumbleupon can look through the sites other people have found. They can vote to say they like a site, which gets it more views, or say they don't like it, which gets them less views. In many ways, Stumbleupon appeals to that voyeuristic, reality TV mindset. People can see what other people are doing and vote - something which is becoming ingrained into out culture. In order for your site to do well on Stumbleupon it must be the kind of site that people will want to pass on and recommend. Sales letters don't tend to do very well, but controversial or contrarian articles do. Anything that is cute, funny or entertaining will do well. This can be an article, a video, or anything of a similar ilk. It must be something that has social appeal to your niche. You may have to think about how you can spin your content in order to give it wide ranging appeal. It can be done though, and will get you traffic. You can Stumbleupon your site yourself, but it is better to get someone else to do the original Stumbleupon for you. This could be a friend, family or an outsourcer. They will need a set of space Wealth Masterminds Society http://wealth-masterminds.venicompanies.com

separated tags plus a description and to know which category you want it placed in. Once it has been Stumbleuponed, you need to get other people to say they like it through the Stumbleupon website. This will help to kickstart the viral effect. If you can, put a link to Stumbleupon on your website to make it easy for your visitors to say they like it. A well written article with wide social appeal can get thousands of visitors in a single day from Stumbleupon. It is a very powerful site that you, as a marketer, must be using. With the traffic potential from this site, you are missing out on valuable backlinks and massive amounts of traffic if you are not using it. Tracking Your Traffic Wealth Masterminds Society We all love traffic coming to our website. The more the merrier in most cases. However, as a marketer, that isn't the case. Marketers want targeted traffic and they want to know where it is coming from. Not knowing where your traffic is coming from means you don't know which traffic generation methods are working. The majority of marketers make no effort to track their traffic and are grateful for any visitors to their website. If you are paying for advertising and not tracking your traffic you are throwing money away! You have to know which adverts are working and which are not. This way you can do more advertising that is earning you money and less of that which isn't. Tracking your traffic doesn't need to be complex and can be done very easily. You can invest in scripts and services that will track your website traffic for you. These vary from the cheap to the expensive, the good and to the brilliant. You don't need to have a script or service to track your traffic, but it can often make it much easier for you. A simple traffic tracking method is to use Google Analytics. This is a free to sign up service that many marketers are using. The good thing about it is that it offers in depth stats and can track almost anything. The downside of it that it offers in depth stats and can track almost anything! The complexity of it is a good and a bad thing because you can find out so much about your website that it will initially confuse you. However, once you have spent some time analysing the results it will prove very useful. Wealth Masterminds Society

Firstly you have to add the code to your website. This code is unique for each of your websites and needs to be inserted at the bottom of each page in your website just before the closing body tag. Once it is reporting data, you need to drive a decent amount of visitors to your site to get some good results. Analytics will report on all activity on your website and even go as far to overlay where people are clicking to help you understand the activity on your website. You can link your analytics account with your Adsense and Adwords accounts to further help you understand how well they are working for you. One of the biggest benefits of Analytics is that it can provide goal tracking to track sales and sign ups to lists. It can be a bit tricky to get working behind scripts and membership sites, but is worth using. The big appeal to most marketers is the fact that it has a lot of features, more than many scripts and is completely free. Of course, Google get to understand exactly what happens on your website, but that is a small trade off for such in depth analytics. Using Google Analytics will give you a good understanding of where your traffic is coming from and what it is doing on your site. Through this you can improve your conversion rate, and in turn, your profits.
