I just came over the best video blog explaining how to get traffic and thereby money or whatever your goal is that I have ever seen.
Look at the video closely. Gary Vaynerchuk gives it all away here. THIS is how to make your blog or website a huge success.
Enjoy.

Okay. As those who knows me well knows, I’m a guy that gets easily bored. Working with our clints regarding getting them to the top of the search engines for their desired keywords is fine and dandy, but mostly this kind of work is more or less routines – and it’s rather technical. What I have missed in all that is the people-side of things.

So – a while back (a few months) I started playing with Twitter, and later stumbled by Jaiku (now owned by Google). Another service I just started testing out is Pownce.
The whole point with these social networks is to use them as a simple and quick way to keep your contacts posted about what you are doing, blog posts and ask about their opinions. They are also called mini-blogs because usually they have a limit of 140 letters for each posting. So, in many ways they can be compared to sending a SMS.

I actually like a lot the fact that I only have 140 chars available. It means I have to be to the point right away since it’s so limited what I can actually write there.
By the way – you will soon enough find it hard to make a descision on what network to consentrate on – so you might want to check out a little piece of software that let’s you post to most of the social networking sites at once. It’s called Posty and is a little AdobeAir application that runs quite smoothly.
When I have some more experience with all this social network thingie, I’ll make a post about my experiences with it, and how I think it might fit into the marketing mix. So far I like it though.

Follow my blog with bloglovin´ is a new blog claiming service from Sweden. I am currently testing it to see what kind of potential it has for marketing.

So, I have decided to make this blog a nofollow free zone. The main reason for doing so is to encourage more readers to comment on the posts. I am also going to make my norwegian blog nofollow free. Thanks to Markus for sharing the plugin.

I have just installed a nifty little plugin for Firefox that will be very interesting to check out. It’s called Zemanta and works together with Wordpress. What it does is that it suggests images and articles that you can use in your articles as long as you are blogging on one of the supported platforms.
Since I blog using self-hosted Wordpress it is supported.
Now – here is what it does: While I am writing this post it waits untill I have written about 300 characters, and then presents me with suggestions for articles and images I could use in the article.
So, it helps you in the sence that you don’t need to run around looking for suited content or images for your posts.
That is the theory anyway.
The image to the right was suggested by Zementa. I just dragged it into the post.
Zementa has also suggested the following articles for further reading:
Have you tried Zemanta? What is your experience with it?
