Traffic Ultimatum
Module 4 - Social Network Marketing

Module 4 of Traffic Ultimatum covers what's called social network marketing ... this includes marketing on web 2.0 sites, using linkwheels and RSS feeds. Web 2.0 sites include sites like Squidoo, and linkwheels are where you stack these up so that you get even more backlink power to your main site. Traffic Ultimatum shows you a method for doing this that works well. Here's more on what each of these terms mean...

The top sites in this area include Facebook, Myspace, YouTube, Twitter, Linkedin, Wikipedia, Blogger, LiveJournal, Squidoo and many more.

As shown in Traffic Ultimatum, you can use web 2.0 to drive traffic to your website and boost your business with the right strategy. First, it’s important to establish your own presence in this arena. Start a blog. Set your profile on Facebook. Establish a Twitter account. Establishing your presence is the first step to building a network or readership of the material you’re posting on the web.

Then, study the different mechanisms each site has in place that allow you to market your site or business. Each site is different and has its own unique perks. From there, you can continue to build your online network and provide them with quality content and information to get the most out of your web 2.0 marketing strategy.

Are Link Wheels a Fad or Here to Stay?

A link wheel is path of links between different sites sharing information about your main website that eventually lead the reader to your site. Link wheels are very effective strategies for building traffic to your website as well as raising your placement in keyword searches. The reason it works is because it creates more relevant information about your site on the web and establishes links back to your site. You can easily create your own link wheel and start raising your website rank using web 2.0 sites and Traffic Ultimatum will show you a top strategy for doing so.

Here's an example of the type of tactics that are covered in Traffic Ultimatum regarding link wheels. First you start with your website. Then you establish an account with a web 2.0 site, such as Blogger or Ezine, and write an article about your service, product or industry and link the article back to your site. Then you do the same thing at another web 2.0 site, except this time, you link the new page to first article you wrote. You repeat this step several times, always linking the new page or article back to the last page you created. Once you’ve created five or six different pages, you can close the link wheel by linking the last page back to your website, or you can leave it open. In my opinion, it's best to leave it open. Again, the Traffic Ultimatum course will show you how this works step-by-step in video tutorials and through process maps.

RSS Feeds as Part of the Traffic Ultimatum Strategy

The last part of social network marketing as shown in Traffic Ultimatum includes using RSS feeds. RSS feeds are simple and easy tools that allow readers to syndicate the information they want on the web. RSS actually stands for ‘Real Simple Syndication.’ Blogs usually have an RSS feature and can opt in to that feature so that updates to the blog are automatically posted to their designated location.

This allows the reader to receive all of their desired blog updates in one place, such as their social networking sites, homepages, websites, etc. RSS feeds also readers to see a lot of updates for a single blog in one location. But it only shows a few lines from the original post. Readers must click on it to read the entire article, which takes them back to the original site. Essentially, an RSS feed is a revolving door of information.

RSS feeds are great for increasing traffic to your website or blog. It puts the power into the hands of your readers. Those who value the information can easily distribute it where they see fit. They can put it into the hands of their web friends and contacts. The best thing about the RSS feed is that it links back to your site and establishes more places on the web for readers to access your content. And Traffic Ultimatum will show you how to use them to gain maximum traffic.
