Personal Technology Tips in Plain English
Marketing Tool: Get 19 Links From Web 2.0 Sites in 15 Minutes
It used to be that “everyone in America” has their own book. Now, in the age of Web 2.0, everyone seems to have their own blog.
But once you start pouring out your heart and publish blog post after blog post, who’s actually reading them? The main obstacle is getting links back to your various blog posts so that you start to gain visitor traffic.
Social bookmarking sites is one great tactic to attract visitors to your site. But there are tons of social bookmarking sites out there and to market your site effectively, you should submit your pages to all of them. If you start doing that manually, you can easily kill a day or two a week just on the administrative tedious repetitive tasks of submitting to all the different sites out there.
Web2Submitter is a time-saver application that’s $47 and basically helps you zip through submitting your blog post or webpage to:
- Digg
- Netscape
- Shoutwire
- Delicious
- Tailran
- My Yaho
- Plim
- Newsvin
- Stumble Upon
- Furl
- Spurl
- Simply
- Magnolia
In reality, you need to invest about 10-15 minutes for each blog post/webpage you want to submit to all of these bookmarking sites.
If you did it manaully on your own each time, it would take you about 30-35 minutes to log into each one, submit, choose the category, copy/paste a headline & description, copy/paste the direct URL, etc.
The tediousness is probably why you don’t do it with every social bookmarking site on the list and with every single blog post you publish.
But Web2Submitter makes this process a little easier by auto-pasting the appropriate content once you type it in once. After that you just click around submitting and going down the list of sites.
I recommend this application for anyone that want to see a small, but steady increase in traffic to their site. If you are consistent and diligent in using this program for submitting your new pages to all of these Web 2.0 sites, you’ll start to see a trickle of traffic almost overnight and more importantly you’ll see steady traffic gains overtime as the content grows in volume at your blog or website.

Ever since I started to Twitter, I’ve used the Twitter-To-Facebook application which basically takes my Twitter updates and then automatically syncs them to Facebook. The net result is that my Facebook status updates are updated more often than how many times my Facebook friends update theirs. I guess whenever they log into FB, a good [...]

TinyURL.com was the the forever favorite for URL shortening services out there largely because of first mover advantage. I heard an podcast interview with the creator of TinyURL recently, and surprisingly he doesn’t have any business plan in place other than the Google Adwords text ads placed on the URL creation page. But this past [...]
