To Many Social Network Sites

I am one who loves the social network seen but enough is enough. I posted on the amount of social network sites back in February and was amazed at the numbers. The post is here: Social Networking, How Long Will The Craze Last? Anyway, you need to see for yourself just how many there are. I believe there have been quite a few added since then.



In most of the networks that I am a member of and I won’t go into detail on what ones they are but, I get many members trying to recruit me into their new networks that they just discovered. I usually write back and tell them that I belong to way to many already but thanks for the offer.



Social Networks are a great place to meet new people and build traffic to your blog but there comes a time when you have to say enough. Remember, being involved with means you have to be social. How can you be sociable when you are just answering every comment that is placed on you? After awhile it becomes a burden, you find yourself meeting everyone’s needs and neglecting what you are blogging for in the first place.

I find that to be a blogger I have to only be a part of a few social networks and not over do it. I belong to social networks that I am comfortable with. When joining a network you have to ask yourself these questions.



Are the people here receptive to new people?

Do they welcome or do they snub new, un-established faces?

Are they easy to navigate?

Do they have a good variety of networking tools for you to work with?



You can get most of these answers from reading the f.a.q.s, or asking members these questions. I find that a few good networks are much more rewarding than trying to join everything in sight.



You will find that most of your traffic will come from your friends who you communicate with on a daily basis. You will find that if they find something that interests or helps them, they will spread the word to their friends and fellow networkers.

Make Sure You Get Your Websites Indexed by Google

You’ve got to get your website indexed in by Google if you want to succeed. You’ve probably heard that over and over again. You may have even heard people talking about how difficult it is, and how much work it takes. But this isn’t necessarily true, if you know what to do.

First, once your website is ready, you need to go and list it for indexing yourself, instead of waiting for Googlebot to find you. Furthermore, you need to add each and every webpage of your website in the Add URL form for Google, which can be found at: http://www.google.com/addurl .

Before you do that, however, your website must be ready. Make sure that your content has targeted the keywords that will serve you and your potential visitor’s best in the search engine. You should use your keywords between 2% and 6% in the content of each page.

Use various search engine optimization techniques. As well as ensuring that your keywords are used in the actual content of your pages, you need to use them in the title of the page, in the ‘alt’ tags for graphics and links, in the anchor text for links, and in your Meta tags.

You also need to make sure that you have clean HTML code, that all of your pages are linked together, and that you aren’t using any SEO black hat techniques.

While this method of getting Google to Index your pages works, it can be very slow. The Googlebot obviously has a lot of work to do each day, and it just takes time to get it all done. But, there is a faster way to get listed in Google. Use Google AdWords.

With Google AdWords, you can sign up for an account at no cost, you should note, however, that it does indeed cost money to use Google AdWords. You select your keywords, set up your ad, set a budget, and activate the campaign. You must also set how much you are willing to pay, per click, for each keyword.

Google then starts showing your ad in the search results when your keywords are searched for – you see Google Ads on the right hand side of the page in the search results. That is where your ad will appear.
