Internet Marketing has come a long way! Starting with Traffic Exchanges which continue to evolve, Safelists, also still a viable marketing tool, to Social Marketing and social bookmarking. There are so many ways to market now that it’s hard for newbies to know which way to go!
I can honestly tell you, they all work. They work for different kinds of products and programs, and they all require EFFORT if you want any of them to work.
I use Traffic Exchanges for a lot of things, including my own branding. I am now a partner at 2EZ2BuildTraffic.com, a manual exchange with hover technology. Wish they all had it, it does give my clicking finger a great break!
I also have success with Safelist Marketing. I even published my own e-guide to help others. I wrote about these on one of my other Blogs in an article called “Old School Rules” as I am a fan of “Old School” and actually am becoming a little “old School” 
myself..lol.
However, on the Internet Marketing scene, I cover it ALL. I love it and watching it evolve in so many directions is fantastic. I am the Web 2.0 half of InternetMarketing-Mavens and I really keep up with Social Marketing, Social Bookmarking and all of the top players in the game. To really take advantage of Social Marketing a bit of writing is required. I found an excellent e-book for anyone wanting to write for themselves or others to improve their sales. It written by Christina McDonald and it titled “Easy Writing Biz” . To truly profit from writing online, either for yourself or others you need to be ready to write on Blogs, articles, Press Releases, web sites, even on the Profiles you set up on Social Sites. These are the things that Social Bookmarking work on!
Some new information and tactics along this line have just been published by Chris Lang, in his new book: “Wickedly Evil Social Marketing Tactics” It is really white hat, but fantastic! If you utilize any of these tactics you will see incredible increases in your traffic and your rankings on Google. Chris is a real expert on Google, if you get a chance follow his Blog. His article on How to Get More Diggs is excellent and a small preview of some of what you can learn from his book. I truly recommend this one!
A new comer online, Cyndi Parker has just produced some awesome software. It will be the ONLY submitter you ever need if you are utilizing article marketing, press releases, video or podcasts. She calls it “Easy Push Button Traffic” and it will do wonders for your business! Article writing is the number one method for affiliate marketing, so give it a try. After all, we are all here to make money, right?
Have a GREAT day, and God bless you!
