Internet Marketing Strategy

I don’t use it anymore, but I thought I’d make mention of a great Firefox add-on that has done wonders for me in the past. For submission of my own sites, or even submissions I was doing for other people, Shareaholic eased up my workload a TON.

Shareaholic lets you quickly submit to del.icio.us, digg, facebook, google bookmarks, ma.gnolia, reddit, stumbleupon, truemors, and twitter with a simple click. Another feature allows you to e-mail the page directly to a contact.

(Shareaholic also works on the social networking browser, Flock.)

Shana Albert of SocialDesire made a great humorous analysis of the cultures within the social networking / media economy, Wow, Social Media is a lot like High School!!

Right on the money with the “elitist bullies“, “popular & not so popular (read: band-o’s) crowds.

Even the drama, zealous representation of mascots, and “inter-site” relations.

If you’re a fan of submitting things to Social Media websites, or part of your job description entails submitting things to Social Media websites … then I can pretty much guarantee that you will make good use out of SocialMarker.

SocialMarker facilitates the use of various Social Media websites by using a single interface to submit your link to any or all of twenty eight different Social Bookmarking Services.

(Mainly: Digg, Technorati, Del.icio.us, Slashdot, Propeller, Reddit, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Fark, and Newsvine, but the list goes on)

SocialMarker also makes it even easier by providing a Firefox toolbar to make submissions a one click process.

There’s even a widget you can install to your blogs and websites to make submissions easier for your readers!

SocialMarker requires that you have a registered account at the Social Media websites you are bookmarking to.

In your quest to become a Digg Power User … remember to take the time to weed out old diggs, dead diggs, regretted diggs, drunk diggs, and diggs of that sort that you wish you had not dugg.

Each time I weed out my Digg Profile, I find a couple of stupid and/or embarrassing links that I undigg, forever marring out that mistake from my Digg Life.

It is best to keep the Diggs in your profile as close as possible to the niche you are trying to promote. It is easiest to gain Digg buddies with a common interest and goal, hopefully helping you to get to the coveted Digg.com frontpage.
