eBay blogs

What I am going to share today is very helpful for ecommerce site owners and especially those who are selling on eBay. Did you know that you can use this multi-million audience on eBay for promoting and building your company’s reputation? And it’s free, absolutely free. Go to ebay and click on “community”. Then find “eBay blogs” and start your blog. You can make your first blog post in less than 5 minutes. Actually I posted my “test” and decided that I’ll post then I have more time (read: never::)). By when I was checking in late afternoon what was indexed by the end of the day, I found that my ebay post was indexed within 3 hours. At that moment I said to myself:”ok, I am in”::)). So, here I am,sharing it with you so that you could use it for boosting sales and driving more traffic to your blogs and sites! Stumble it if you found this post helpful and… thank you!

I have just read one of the best guides on social marketing that is called the Authority Black Book by Jack Humphrey.

social media sites and SEO guide

Jack is the go-to guy who consults gurus and experts the world over on link building and
social marketing strategies. What is strange to me is that Jack is just giving
it away. Its jam-packed with resources andtactics to immediately start driving more website traffic and I know he could charge for it and make a bundle.

But its really a no strings attached download you can grab right now and start benefiting from immediately. It was not rated the #1 ebook for bloggers by Mashable.com for nothing. People can be found praising the Black Book all over the web in
Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

You should grab it tonight and devour it.

And do not forget who sent you all this free
traffic!

Regards,

Helen

P.S. - The Authority Black Book is now in its
second release. This is the newest 2.0 version
released this spring. So if you got the Black Book
from last year, you need to download the new version.

It is even better with tons of new information!

grab it here, it’s YOURS!

There are 2 easiest and yet free ways to get instant traffic to a new blog. First, is to get your blog “stumbled” (www.stumbleupon.com). Second, is by joining Entrecard’s community (www.entrecard.com). If you have never heard about it and have no idea what I am talking about now, here is a quick info:

• it is a social tool bar that you have to install in you browser
• the tool will automatically bring you to pages that are tagged with the keywords in random order
• if you are not sure whether your site is already listed on stumbleupon, visit http://reviews.stumbleupon.com, type your url and check it out

Here are some of my experience so far with Stumbleupon

• it doesn’t work for e-commerce sites, so don’t expect to increase your sales through stumbleupon
• 90% of traffic is “bounced”, but if your content is unique, or you offer great stuff for free, you will definitely retain Stumbleupon visitors
• the number of visitors will be start slowly decreasing in 48 hours after “stumbling”

How to use Stumbleupon for generating traffic?

• do NOT stumble your own articles and blog posts, this is the easiest way to get banned
• join so-called “buzz” groups where people exchange “stumbles”
• stumble your most interesting blog posts
• while you stumble somebody’s content, take a minute and leave a short review (yes, you have this option). Don’t leave terrible non-value reviews like “great blog”, “nice layout” etc - you got the idea.
• as a member of a “buzz” group, you don’t have to stumble every single post or article, but you have to participate if you want to get “stumbles” in exchange.

If you like this article, please stumble it!:)

Another great way to get instant traffic is by joining Entrecard’s community. Why it is so important to get “instant” traffic? Note, that I am not saying “quality” traffic. Getting traffic to a new blog or a website is #1 problem for beginners as they panic of not being found anywhere after they invested so much time in a blog creation. If you are one of them, here is my bonus for you, just for stopping by on my blog and reading this post: create your entrecard’s account today and I’ll send you 200 Entrecard points so that you could start free advertising immediately.

How does it work?

• you have to open an account on entrecard.com
• you have to create a 125×125 widget
• start “dropping” your carts and earn Entrecash
• as soon as you have at least 100 points, click on “campaign” in your dashboard and choose blogs that you want to advertise on

How to get the most from Entrecard?

• participate in forums
• leave comments while dropping your carts
• leave blog reviews
• write interesting blog posts

Please, leave your comments and your suggestions are very welcome!
