========================================
Social bookmarking websites are becoming more and
more popular. They allow you to save bookmarks
online and Tag/Categorize them with keywords
instead of saving them as bookmarks in the
favorite’s list of yourbrowser. This is
particularly useful when your browser based
bookmarks have become unwieldy. It’s also help
since you can access your bookmarks from any
computer where you have an internet connection.
I have compiled a list of Social Bookmarking
websites from a number of sources. You can find it
here: http://www.blogmarketingtactics.com/social-bookmarking/social-bookmarking-top-links.html
Once you have bookmarked them, you can view them,
sort them by category/keyword as well as see links
from others that have been categorized like yours.
You also establish RSS feeds for each category
(tag) that you ’subscribe’ to. This alerts you to
new links in your areas of interest. Your bookmark
collection/RSS Feed becomes viewable to others who
can also copy your bookmarks to their own
collection. So now you can aggressively promote
your RSS feed to the RSS Directories and Search
engines, syndicate them and make them available to
a much wider audience.
Social bookmarking sites also help you to meet
other people who are interested in the same topics
you are and who may also have knowledge of web
resources that you don’t.
On Social Bookmarking sites, you first create an
account. Then you bookmark interesting and useful
things in the area of your interest or expertise.
By doing so you create a useful Feed. Once you’ve
done that you intermittently, (or aggressively),
add useful and interesting items, (that could use
additional exposure), from your own content. Make
an honest effort to contribute USEFUL information
and links. This is all about sharing and exposure.
Done properly, you can be as aggressive as you
want to be about sharing information. You can
share your blog(s), links to your
informational/resource sites etc. Think about the
fact that when you share links to other’s
resources, you’re also effectively promoting their
content as well.
This is a way you can aggressively and ethically
promote your content and the content of others. I
personally have hundreds of gigabytes of my own
information and information of others, connected
to my notebook. In the final analysis, it’s doing
me no good what-so-ever just sitting there. But by
organizing it, online, I can help myself, (getting
organized, getting my content exposed, etc.) and
help others at the same time.
If you spice up your feed with too much sales and
marketing related or self promotional stuff,
people can and will easily drop their subscription
to your feed. And instead of gaining good will and
doing a service to the internet community you
could get labeled as a spammer and suffer the
consequences.
So while being aggressive is possible and
acceptable, being careful to consider the best
interest of the community is certainly warranted.
Balancing being ethical and providing a useful
service to others with promoting your own content
enables you to be as aggressive as you like. But
remember, in the final analysis, others will make
the decision on whether it’s ethical and useful or
spam.
Happy Marketing.
