Social Bookmarking has always been one of the biggest source of backlinks and traffic for internet marketers. Yet it is one area that has been underutilized to a great extent by newbie internet marketers. Very few people know how to use it effectively to get traffic.
It is because of this lack of knowledge that such newbies struggle in getting traffic to their blogs and websites.
What is Social Bookmarking?
Rather than defining social bookmarking, let me quote a few names -
- Digg
- Diigo
- Stumble upon
- Myspace
- Delicious
- Bibsonomy
Are you on Google+ yet?
If you are an avid social media enthusiast, then it is highly unlikely that you have not heard about Google’s latest project aimed at competing with Facebook.
Does it really pose a threat to Facebook?
I would not want to think so. You might have a different opinion but only the next couple of years will prove if it seriously is a competition to Facebook.
I only pray that it doesn’t turn out to be a disaster like Google Buzz and the many other projects that Google launched in the past couple of years.

It seems that getting in touch with people is much harder than it used to be. It used to be that a business could place an ad on TV or radio and business would be booming. But today, advertisement exists as a different world entirely. The world of consumers being nudged by ads during their favorite show has shrunk considerably since the advent of Netflix and iPods.

I was nervous about wading into the realm of social marketing. At best it sounded like a fad, and at worst it was catering to the lowest common denominator. After all, how is it not considered spam? But this way of connecting is not the passive mailing system of previous decades. It is how the frontrunners – from successful entrepreneurs to multinationals – are communicating and how the rest of the business world will eventually communicate. If you have an e-commerce business, you had better get involved.

In one of my earlier posts we discussed about the importance of creating a Fanpage on Facebook. Facebook is the hottest thing in the world of Internet Marketing right now. The GURUS are cashing in on this phenomenon by releasing courses and ebooks on how to create a successful marketing campaign on Facebook.
Creating a Fanpage on Facebook is not a difficult task. All that you need to do is browse over to this page at Facebook and follow the simple instructions there. In less than 5 minutes you can create a Fan page. But, does it guarantee you success? Will this be the best Fan page to build your business?

Is your business on Facebook?
I am sure you would not want to go through precisely the same thing that you went through about an year and a half when Twitter exploded and you were caught unaware (I assume you were in business then
)!!!
When Twitter suddenly became the talk of the town, a lot of people were caught unaware and they found themselves missing the train. By the time they could jump into the bandwagon, the possibility of their success had diminished on account of competition from the big sharks.
