Internet Marketing in 10 Minutes

This Internet Marketing in 10 Minutes blog was established in May of 2007. From now until then I have written 71 different blog posts on all topics related to SEO, SEM & Internet Marketing.

Like many new blogs my first few posts didn’t get off the ground all that much in regards to how many people actually read them. I’m a little more established now and have a regular reader base so should anyone be interested in some of my older works I might suggest reading my Content Baiting, Does Content Baiting Equal Link Baiting? and Content Lifecycle: Creation, Refresh, Archival, Expiration.

In 2007 I had several posts that really surprised me in regards to the amount of readers they had. To this day I still get traffic to these posts so they might be worth looking at when you have some time. They include Social Networking & Link Building, Paid Directory Collapse, Making Money with Social Networking, and Second - The New First Place

I also enjoyed several respectable industry leaders in the Internet Marketing arena visit my site including Rand Fishkin and Rebecca Kelley from SeoMoz. I’ve also had Jill Whalen visit in the past even though I believe she didn’t exactly agree with an opinion I had.

Also, some of you will be in on a little secret between a few of my fellow friends and co-workers. We all decided to get together and wash out another friends ranking on Google for the term, “Content Writing Advice”. It was a fairly easy goal and I maintained the number one ranking for a number of weeks before I got bumped off the top 100 all together. This link is just to poke at those friends and co-workers…

Anyways starting tomorrow I will be publishing a series of articles on link building practices starting with what I’ll consider the basics all the way up to advanced strategies. Over the next few weeks I’ll review as many strategies as I’ve done myself or have yet to experiment with. Regardless who you are within the Internet Marketing industry, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on these up coming posts.

Here’s looking into 2007 and anticipating 2008!

Almost everyone in any Website related industry knows that Del.Icio.Us is a Social Bookmark service offered to everyone at no charge. They even have a handy toolbar that you can attach to your browser.

However what the system lacks is a little customization, color and verification! ClaimID is nice in that you can always verify your websites, blog posts and other contributions to the web. This is done with a simple addition of a meta tag to the page that has your original content is found on. They then send out their spider to check the URL for the meta tag and upon verifying that it does exist a little ‘Verified’ text is added to that link on your profile.

Because this blog is geared around Internet Marketing I will tell you that your profile page will most likely be crawled pretty quickly by search engine spiders, it does pass link juice and for what it’s worth my profile page went from a PR NOWHERE to a PR 4.

Lastly, when talking on the phone with clients, it is sure easier to tell them to go to ClaimID/search/ then it is to explain that Del.Icio.Us doesn’t have www before Del!

I apologize for not writing as often as I’ve done in the past. With the holiday season upon us and all the preparation that goes into play during this time of the year there is a good chance I won’t be posting very much until the start of 2008.

I do have a series of articles on link building in the works that should prove to be a nice push at the start of the year.

From my family to yours; I want to wish you a very blessed and merry time over the Christmas season. Let the egg nog and brandy pour, let the feast begin and enjoy your friends and family this holiday season.
