Social Media is a topic that is really hot now and I’ve just started this web site to take advantage of the things that people other than us know.  If I can help someone with some of the easy things maybe I can learn from someone else also.

Some of the people that I watch and listen to are Lynn Terry, Justin Brooke, Josh Spalding and others.

The other new change is the updated Digg widget generator. It’s slicker, faster, provides more links to the publisher’s content, and can be customized with tabs and columns. I’ve embedded a quick version of the widget specific to Mashable to give you an idea of what the new widgets look like (Note: For some, the widget reverts to an old style; we think this may be a bug that has yet to be fixed):

Other things are questionable, like: A website that I often like to use for helpful information is called Mashable.com. On this site you can find all sorts of helpful information for your business like 10 Rules for Increasing Community Engagement which is super important when planning social media campaigns.

I just read an article over on Market Samurai‘s blog about how to age your site.  Of course you can’t really age your site but you can do some tricks to use the age of an older site so you will rank better than a new site would.

We all see many sites that don’t have a lot of backlinks and the content might not be the best or a lot of it, what-ever.

Well some of those sites rank better than our new site in a niche that we are  trying to rank for simply because they are older.  Age does mater.

I would suggest you run over to the Market Samurai site and take a read ( it will take you about 5 min.) and see what I’m talking about.

If I were more than a hobby player I would know how to tell you how to do the work.  But I’m not so you’ll have to find out for your self.

If you don’t know anything about Market Samurai, it’s a great Keyword tool that can do a lot of things and I think that they still have a free trial.

Don’t worry this link isn’t an affiliate and you don’t have to sign in to get to read the article.

Just go read it.
