Social Media Marketing: The New Checklist For 2009
Think Video in 2009! Google has built huge server farms all over the world and video has taken over as a viral content distribution method. There is no better way to get links and subscriptions, resulting in search placement and traffic, than to blog a combination of text, video, and if possible, profiles with bookmarks and favorites.
The Social Media Marketing plan for 2009 must include:
- Syndicated RSS feeds
- Video and other graphic content
- Profiles on major highly traveled sites (My Space, Digg, Facebook etc.)
- Opt-in subscriptions, groups, feeds, email - mybloglog.com is a good place to start building an affinity group
- User-generated, user filtered content - the amount of content needed to rank now is more than you will consistently generate on your own - and you must have an automated way for the content producers, contributors to police themselves with user-ratings
- Social Bookmarking (you must stumbleupon.com your content, bookmark with delicious, netscape.com, etc.)
- You must ping the world and tell them when there is new content to keep the robots spidering your site more and more regularly
- All these things must be optimized properly
If you think our prices ($489.00 down, $379.00 per month) seem high, consider the budget without us: heck go get a few bids on this list!
Use Flickr For Your Wordpress Blog Images - Flickr Photo Album Plugin
Reasons to use flickr instead of the built-in wordpress imaging tools:
1. Flickr’s website gets a lot of internal traffic and you could increase your page views and website traffic just by putting all your images on flickr. I personally have images with over 20,000 views that generated at least 1,000 click throughs (you can put live html links in the image descriptions). Not bad considering it’s traffic I would have missed entirely. Additionally flickr has been expanded to become a full fledged social network to include friends and messaging.
2. Flickr offers a wide variety of image tools, like resizing, resamplling, and ajax grouping that completely rock and are far superior to anything built into wordpress. IT’s fast too. Upload a large image and flickr automatically provides multiple sizes and allows your visitors to do everything from favorite it to order prints.

Microsoft Word Blogging Tips – Change The Curly Quotes To Straight Quotes

photo credit: Eric F Savage
One of the most annoying things in Microsoft Word that bloggers run into, is that it uses fancy curly quotes that aren’t supported in the default character set of Wordpress and other blogging platforms. If you copy and paste directly from MS word into Wordpress or your blogging platform of choice you’ll end up with weird &@39; and other character numbers inserted to replace single and double quotes.

Social Media Optimization Tip - How To Put A Digg Button On Your Wordpress Blog

photo credit: John Pastor
Believe it or not there is a right way and a wrong way to do this. Most wordpress blog templates use the content tag on the main index page, meaning it shows full posts unless you use a more tag. If you use a more tag it will truncate the post at that tag and give you a link to read the full article.

How To Change Your Wordpress Blog To Display Excerpts Instead Of Full Posts

photo credit: adria.richards
The first question is why? Most wordpress templates display full content posts on the front page, making the main page of your blog have a lot of scrolling and only reveal a very limited amount of content to a first time visitor without lots of scrolling. Additionally for SEO (search engine optimization) it’s a good thing to reduce the amount of duplicated content (same content word for word as located in other areas). Here is a previous article I’ve written on how to identify and fix common SEO problems in wordpress.

How To Put A Wordpress Blog On A Subdomain Using A Separate Host Account With Cpanel And Whm

photo credit: Tim Dorr
Many businesses are still only blogging on blogger or other platforms away from their main website. Others go the route of getting another domain. One great way to maximize the power of your blog and build links to your main site at the same time is to create your main company blog on a subdomain of your regular website. You can even have it point to a completely different server. Some reasons why you may want to do this include if your main website is just a shopping cart, has very strong security, or is in a different scripting language or under ‘corporate control’.

All Websites Are Broken, But That Is Ok:
When Roni German types into Google: Belfair Washington Real Estate into a Google search. Her Belfair Washington Real Estate Blog comes up on the third page instead of the first. (http://peninsulahomeresource.com/)
She has previously been on page one, even line one several times. The reason for the dropping is the title of this article: a website is never done, is always in need of upgrading and promotion. She still comes up line one on “Olympic Penninsula Homes“, a less competitive search without so much competition from huge lead generators like Yahoo real estate, Homegain, Homes.com, Realtor.com and the others who are on the first page. These huge sites are constantly adding new real estate clientele who pay them, and new information, and, since everything on the Internet is new, old, or dead - they rank.
