With all of this social marketing and how it is taking off, you might have asked yourself if URL shorteners like bit.ly and tiny.url help with SEO efforts.   Afterall, part of social marketing is building backlinks to your website.  These URL shorteners do a 301 redirect which tells the search engines that the link has permanently moved locations.

Watch this video with Google’s Matt Cutts to get some more information about these urls and how they effect your SEO.

I just hope these companies are around to keep my links active 5 years from now.

One of the upcoming trends of Internet marketing is viral marketing. Viral marketing is a type of social marketing that is allows your website visitors or customers to spread the word about your products and services easily and quickly.

They can refer their friends using Twitter, Facebook, or any of the other social networking sites, but what if you want to allow them to invite people without having to use Twitter or Facebook? What if you could just have them click a few buttons and invite their entire contact list? How do you think that Facebook and twitter have grown so quickly? The incorporate the same method of a type of tell a friend.

When you give you quick review of a product that I have used called Viral Inviter. It is a script that allows your website viewers to invite their friends and receive gifts and bonuses by doing so. No one really will share information with their friends about you or your services unless they have an incentive to do so. Either your content has to be very very good, or they have to receive something in return for spreading the word about you.

I tried viral inviter about a year and a half ago and found it very hard to use. I use WordPress a lot and didn’t find it very user-friendly, but they have recently made some very important updates to the scripts that allow easy installation and customization of the viral inviter script.

If you’re serious about getting more traffic, leads, and sales from your website, I think you get like this.

Watch this video shows you how the script works.

You don’t have to worry about not finding RSS feeds anymore it sounds like as Google’s Reader will update you when a page is crawled and the reader sees changes.

Google just launched a nice feature on Google Reader: the ability to keep an eye on pages for changes. This works even if the page doesn’t have its own RSS feed. This sort of thing is very handy. You could use it to spot new things on a privacy policy page or watch for changes in the executivespage at another search engine.

Check out the blog post, but it’s easy to use: just add any url to Google Reader.

If you have ever thought about building backlinks to your website, you’ve probably wondered what type of back links and what type of strategy works best. Here are five different places that you need to start to develop a back link portfolio from.

Number one. Articles

Article marketing is a great way to get your content out all over the web instead of just on your website. Now, you can do this with a strategy of gaining top positions in Google, but this is only going to work for very long tail keywords with article marketing. If you’re going after a keyword that is very competitive, you are going to have a hard time ranking on the front page of Google with article marketing. But, that really isn’t the strategy for article marketing anyway. Chances are, very few people will even read those articles unless they are on the large article websites like ezinearticles or goarticles.  Your main goal with article marketing is to gain back links to your original post with the anchor text for terms you want to rank for. Check out unique article wizard if you’re looking for a good article marketing tool.

Number two. Directories

Getting your website submitted to several directories is a great way to get some easy one-way links back to your site. These links are not very high quality, but will get your site listed with these directories and also get crawled by some of their directory spiders. DMOZ is a great place to get listed.

Number three. Local links

Getting your site listed with Google local, Bing local, and Yahoo local is a great way to get some local links back to your site and actually have a way for local consumers to find you. This will be your listing on their search engine, and also a map-based search tool with your business and it.

Number four. Niche specific sites

the more that you can collaborate with other people in your niche, the better. The search engines really like to see your link on industry specific sites. So, if you are a real estate agent, wouldn’t it be great to have a link from realtor.com coming back to your site? Not only is realtor.com specific to your website, but is a very powerful and highly trafficked website.  This can get you a very valuable back links your site and in some cases a lot of traffic if it is placed in the correct spot.

Number five. Blog links

If you can get a few links from some related blogs, this is a great way to boost your SEO as well.  Again, you going to get a valuable back link, but because it is also industry-specific typically, you can actually get some good traffic as well. You can become a guest blogger to get back links, or you can comment on blogs that allow dofollow links.

Number six. Social bookmarking links

It is highly rumored that social bookmarking links are beginning to gain more and more power in the SEO industry.  Because search engines are looking to make their searches more and more functional and more versatile when it comes to real-time news and updates, social bookmarking links are again a great way to get traffic and a great way to get a lots of links pointing back to your site. Twitter, Facebook, DIGG, FourSquare, and all the others will become more and more of a importance in your link building portfolio as time goes on.  There are some great social bookmarking tools to help you.
