Free Social Bookmarker - bookmarks 40+ sites

Social bookmarking should be a "to do" on everyone's marketing list. It's a great contributor to traffic and if you're not doing it - I must ask if you've been living under a rock?

But...the purpose of my post is to share a cool bookmarking tool with you. It will bookmark 40+ sites for you much faster than if you did it by hand. Just enter the URL, the title and your keywords and click "submit" and off it goes.

And it's free...we know how I love free stuff. And I'm sure you do too!

You do have to babysit it while it works but it's still WAY faster than navigating to each site by hand and bookmarking it. It takes way less than half the time it would normally take to do it by hand. I use it faithfully.

It's at socialmarker.com

Now there are some paid for bookmarking and traffic tools I'm going to be blogging about soon but they are totally worth the investment if you're more than just a casual marketer. These are the tools the Gurus use and there is a reason.

It has taken me a while to step up to using some of the more expensive tools...I'm cheap and I built everything from the ground up using as much free stuff, or super cheap stuff, as possible and then putting profit back into the business. I just didn't have it like that to start out dumping money into tools. Plus I needed to learn my way around, the ins and outs, etc. first anyway.

I've talked about some of these types of products in the past but there are many more. We'll talk about some of that stuff later but I wanted to tell you about that tool in case you aren't using it yet!

Till later,

P.S. - I have another blog where I review products if you want to check it out. I cover things like Craigslist marketing, link building, and some of the stuff I've already talked about here.

You can check it out at Reviews - the 411

I should probably integrate the two eventually into 1 but I'll deal with that mess later! LOL

Keywords and Titles for higher search rankings and to generate traffic

Something I wanted to make a quick post about. I thought about this when searching to find out where some of my sites are indexed on Google and Yahoo. And this is something I didn't realize when I first started blogging, etc. I was having this conversation with a fellow marketer the other day and thought it would be a useful bit for someone, it would have been nice to know when I first started out...but hey, trial and error!

Your title needs to include your most important keywords. It's great to enter a bunch of keywords for your blog, etc., but if you include the most important ones in your title you'll get better search results.

You would think this goes without saying? Well, it doesn't necessarily.

I'm trying to think of a good example...so, let's try this. Say you're blogging about Friend Laser (which I have blogged about). There are several titles you could use. One is obviously "Friend Laser". But guess what, even though MySpace would be a keyword, if I use the word MySpace in my title like "How to Increase Your MySpace Traffic", I get better search results than if I just tag it with MySpace.

Again, some of you will think this goes without saying but you'd be surprised. And I truly didn't realize the great importance of this when I began so just thought I'd share that. I hope at least a few of you will appreciate it.

(There is a nice little Keyword tool that I blogged about before, you can find it here if you wanna check it out.....Top Keyword Data Tool

Ok, till later!
