This social bookmarking tool is the new kind on the block, it’s the freshest and by the look of it also the best. SocialMarker will help you submit your article to 32 social bookmarking sites. You just need to enter a few details on the front page and of you go. SocialMarker leads you through all the 32 bookmarking sites nad fills the required fields for you, if it fails you can simply drag and drop your text into the submit forms or jump to the register site if you do not have an account yet. Nice tool :)! www.socialmarker.com

The basics are the same as always, to get your site or article indexed by a search engine as fast as possible you need quality links pointing to your site/article. Google often visits quality sites that hold quality links and if a link to your site happens to be there Google will follow it and Oooops stumble upon your site and index it.

It used to be hard for someone who was completely new to internet to get his site indexed. You had no other sites you could put your link on so you had to beg your friends or even people you dont know to give you a link, or you submitted your site to Google and hoped for the best or you ended buying links.

Today this is in the past. All you need to do is to submit your site to as many social posting sites as you can. If your site is good and usefull other people might bookmart it to and add more quality to the link but even if they don’t your site will still be indexed pretty darn quick.

A few pointers for social bookmarking:

1. It is better to submit an article with actual content than the site homepage
2. Don’t submit crap, submitt things you think people will be interested in
3. Dont just submit your own pages, this is called selfpromotion and bookmarking sites don’t like that, it can even get your account banned. So also submit articles that you find interesting but are not your own.
4. Use bookmarking tools

And the wheel keeps turning around and around, around and around, around and around. In the last week we have seen some major shifts in Google SERP. Keywords vanishing from the frist page of results sending traffic to one fifth of what it was before and then jumping back up and even higher. This Google breakdance happened twice already.

So we put to use our searching skills and came up with this site - Rankpulse. Site tracks the Google search-rankings of 1,000 keywords and shows a nice graph of the general volatility of the SERP:

We can see a big spike in the end of May beginning of June, but it is not nearly as wide as the spike at the end of the graph.  So whats up or down with your SERPs :)?

Does BlogRush only work for big blogs and bloggers? A few people asked that, so this is our report so far. Three people signed through our refferal link. The number of credits we got from their traffic has been small so far. Since setting up Blogrush 3 days ago our blogpost were shown 316 times on other blogs. From that we recieved ZERO clicks. Now this clickthrough ratio sucks, I must admit :)

It is still to early to make any conclusions from this since our recent posts were about, well Blogrush. People using blogrush and installing it on their sites already know about it, its old news to them. Ups…se here we go again writing about Blogrush

Some people complained that only big bloggers will benefit from this. Which is kind of true, but this is the natural way for the system to be set up. If small, desolated, in the middle of the desert…blogs (like this one ) got lots of impressions the Blogrush network would soon be filled with spam.

We’ll keep an eye on the stats (oh, by the way, sign into your Blogrush account, they have set up these stats report you can see here) when a little more water passes under the bridge. Till later…. 

PS: how are your Blogrush stats doing?

I wrote about this a day ago, but I had to do it again since (include some sweet and bombastic words ) I need some/more refferals. So right, in a few hours one of the biggest or maybe hottest affiliate programs is going live. DealDotCom promises 35% commission on tier 1 referrals and 15% on all tier 2s for life.

Again, the idea behind it is to offer one product at a ridiculously low price for one day only. The product will only be available until it sells out, or until midnight the next night, when they pull it down and start selling a new product. Everybodygoto.com even produced some banners for us all to promote the thing. Check them out and

Blogrush is the new blog promotion thing that is spreading like fire. Why? Well, in short - Blogrush puts links to your articles on other blogs that have same or simillar content. So if you have a blog that it lets say dealing with music, titles of your articles will appear in a blogrush widget  on other music blogs. Sure you have to install your own widget on your own blog and return the favour, but just imagine - you will get targeted readers interested in music seeing your articles and hopefully coming to your site.

If you want to see how the thing looks like scroll down a little and take a look at the FROM THE BLOGOSPHERE widget. This is it - titles from other sites related to internet & marketing.

Helping spread the word about Blogrush is also their refferal program. You get more impressions if you bring some new bloggers to the network. We’ll post the results on how many visitors did we get from Blogrush in a while. Until then you can try it yourself and “have your posts automatically promoted on related blogs across the internet” as guys at Blogrush like to say.

“In life, you usually find out about something good when it’s too late…” This happens a lot:). Usually the people that are well connected are the first to find out about cool new stuff, cool new products, cool new tolls…and cool new affiliate programs. Information is money they say, even more in internet marketing, the sooner you get info the better.

Today I got an email invite to a new website called DealDotCom which will be in short selling one very discounted marketing product a day - anything related to building an online business, increasing traffic, monetizing your websites, blogging, web design… The site opens on 18th of September, so it is really fresh and you still have time to join their affiliate program and then tell your friends about it and get permanent lifetime Two-Tier commissions. Sounds good to me, so here goes my link to DealDotCom. Good luck!

If you are taking part in the 30 day challenge I posted a few days ago, then you can skip this. If you are not interested in finding new niches for your sites then also skip this.

Now that I got rid of most of you there is this great tool that fine people at the 30 day challenge made for the participants, but everyone can use it I guess.  

The tool is not so much a niche finder as it helps you avaluate the niche in an easy to understand way. So you should already have an idea for a niche in your head, then use this tool to see if it is worth jumping in.

Free Niche Finder is a mix of free wordtracker tool and google trends tool. The problem with wordtracker is that the results are not always accurate, the number of searches can be way off. The problem with Google trends is that you do not know what exactly the trend line represents. 100 people? 1.000 people? 5 people?

The solution to this is to mix wordtracker adn google trends plus do one more thing. In Google trends you can compare trends for two keywords. Now imagine if you own a website that has top search engine results position for a certain keyword. You know exacly how much treffic that keyword brings you every day. You can compare every other keyword to that keyword.

I see. But what if you do not own a first place website? This is where the nice folks of the 30 day challenge come in. They sacrifised one of their sites so that all the results are measured upon their website.

Enough blah blah, right? Right! Go here, type in your keyword and then click the bar button at the right side of every keyword. Simple and idiot proof. Green good, red bad. Good luck with your niches.
