Adsense Hidden Tips And Guide 2009

Hello everyone,

I am Elva Ya from online earning guide, an adsense big fan. This article is about google adsense using tips and placement guide, all from my Experience and tests in the past several months. I don’t think any others will tell you about this for it’s top secret and really less known.

First question, what are you real purpose for working with adsense?

I don’t think adsense will bring you any other things more than real money, that’s mean we are not great enough to aim at promoting for the advertisers for free. Both of the advertisers and publishers seeking for the highest profits from adsense, google too.

Then, how to get more revenues perhaps the most important thing that publishers care about. There are 4 tips must be Noted:

1.Do not put multiple ad networks similar to adsense on same site.

It is allowed to put different networks ads on the same site according to policies such as google adsense, adbrite, bidvertise etc, however, we don’t recommend you to do this.

My personal Experience: I was using adsense for about 5 months, the average CPC is about .7 while the highest one earning me .55/click. After i put adbite onto my site, the adsense average CPC reduced to .05/click and the hghest .37. My monthly revenues from adsense decreased 0+ while adbrite just earned me .

2. Do not put same ad slot on many sites.

Many ppl may really ignored this points, and of course, we do not have the Official proof. But however, it really do some Negative effects on adsense revenue .

For Example:

You have 3 sites, site A, site B and site C and the same/similar template(s). So the same ad slot many good for all the 3 sites, but we recommend you to generate 3 different slots with the same setting and put them separately.

Our testing: We put same ad slot on 5 sites compared with putting 5 ad slots with same setting on the same sites, when we got same click counts -100 clicks, the incomes of different ad slots always higher than the same one.

3. Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V were not Omnipotent.

A site with unique contents always get better click price than the Piracy ones. Our sites which with all original contents always get more earnings than the one which was re-write or reproduced. Both of our sites that are talking about personal finance and, the adsense ads are similar, both 50 percent U.S. visitors but the average CPC is .3-0.5 disparity.

4. Do not put your adsense code on Auto-Acquisition sites.

It really do harmful to your revenues and associated with your other sites.

The 4 points above are our first release, if you have any questions or any other opinions, please leave a comment and let’s talking together.

Will Google Chrome Win the Browser War in 2009?

admin    Google     2009, Browser, Chrome, Google

There are a lot of reviews of 2008 and predictions for 2009 when we step in the New Year. That Google released its own browser Google Chrome ranks in the top 10 software news in 2008, and some experts predicts that Google Chrome will take up a market share of 10%~15% in 2009. Google Chrome is great, but it is not easy to change old routines and make users switch from their current browsers. This prediction will come true or not? We will keep an eye on it.

Google Chrome is a wonderful browser with a simple and clean user interface. It is quite different form IE 7 and FireFox 3. Based on the features of Google Chrome, can it win the browser war in 2009? We will review the special features of Google Chrome. And I have made a demo with DemoCreator to show these features.

One box for everything:
The address bar is also the search box. And it automatically suggests related queries and popular websites based on your input. It is a multifunctional box.
New tab page:
This is not a blank page. It shows us the Links to websites you visit the most, recently closed tabs, and recent bookmarks. It is quite useful for me to find the most visited websites.
Application shortcuts:
This feature enables users to create an easy entry for the special website service.
Dynamic tabs:
For better experience, you can change the tabs position as you want them to be. And Chrome also allows dragging tabs apart, to create separate windows.
Crash control:
If a page breaks in Chrome, it won’t take the browser with it, so although you will have to reopen that crashed tab or window, you won’t have lost anything else you are doing in other tabs or windows.
Incognito mode:
If you don’t want pages you visit to show up in your web history, just choose incognito mode for private browsing. It can protect your privacy.
Safe browsing:
Google Chrome warns you if you’re about to visit a suspected phishing, malware or otherwise unsafe website. I was supposed to show you this feature in the demo, but I could not find a sample website like this for a test.
Instant bookmarks:
Chrome simplifies the process of bookmark adding. Just click the star icon at the left edge of the address bar and you have got it done.
Importing settings:
It is easy for you to import your browsing history, saved websites, and passwords from your default browser to Chrome. It reduces the troubles if you switch to Chrome from Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Simpler downloads:
When you download a file from a website, you can your download’s status at the bottom of your current window where you can monitor the progress of your downloading file.

There is a new and innovative browser choice for users. Google Chrome does deserve a try. To make some software guide video or website demo, DemoCreator is available.

From Page Rank 0 To Page Rank 3: How I Achieved This in 46 Days, 25th April – 15th June, 2009

admin    Google     15th, 2009, 25th, Achieved, April, Days, From, June, Page, Rank, This

From Page rank 0 to Page Rank 3 – How did my Article Directory Site get PR3 within 46 days? Yeah, that was amazing for me too when I discovered this happy news.

So let me share my success story in all details with everyone who is trying to get a higher page rank for his/her site.

You can achieve the same or even much better results by implementing exactly what I did. 

It all began from searching for do-follow blog commenting service for my article directory site to get a higher rank in a shorter time. But after a long search I understood that some of these services sell low-quality or no-follow blog commenting, while the rest charge high price for quality do-follow backlinks.

Therefore I decided myself to deeply search and find dofollow blog commenting page links online.

But I got very frustrated and tired every time when I found “do-follow” link list of nofollow or dropped PR blogs.

Besides, I needed single PR commenting pages to comment on them with the link to my site. But the lists I found while searching on Google provided only domain pages.

My second attempt was to search for a special membership site that would provide valuable dofollow page links on a monthly basis.

So in this way, it took me more than 1 month to find valid, high-quality dofollow blog commenting pages. After compiling these links in March, 2009, I didn’t use them for a while, as I was very busy with my offline work. Therefore I could use them only on 25th April for my Article All About site, domain name of which was registered at the end of March.

I commented informative posts on 24 dofollow blog pages some of which were coming from the same domain. This took me 2 days, as I was doing it only when I was free. After that I forgot about this site due to my other online projects.

So recently on 15th June, when I checked the PR of my site, I was shocked: it gained PR3. This is only within 46 days and without any paid or free promotion!

To be honest, it might have got this pagerank much before than 15th June. The truth is that I first checked it only on this date.

Google Page Rank Updates – October 30, 2009

admin    Google     2009, Google, October, Page, Rank, updates

There is a lot of different ways to look behind websites popularity.

Some of them like: Google page rank, Alexa traffic rank and Compete is just not enough to find all necessarily information about targeted website.

But, all webmasters agree Google PR tool is most important because Google is most important search engine.

Without Google page rank SEO and SEM is almost lost and with no sense.

So, when Google stopped to updating their page rank early this year this confusing webmasters and SEO company all around the world.

So, why Google stopped with page rank updates?

Main reason is probably to protect search engine data for using in unacceptable way.

There is a lot of SEO Company with bad intentions and internet is not perfect place any more.

Recently,after 5 months with no updates Google start with updates again.

I think they want to say: “We are master of your rank.”

After that there is a lot of information about lost links and rank position on Google on many blogs and forums.

Google page rank is absolutely useless and contradictory without updates.

So, I think Google must improve their PR tool.Google controls approximately 6% of all internet traffic.

We all want to see our back links value much faster. We want to see some indicator of our internet presence.

And, if Google decide to stop with PR updates their must completely removed PR from toolbar and inform all internet users that PR tool doesn’t count any more.

With or without Google PR, Alexa traffic tool and Compete you must start building your link popularity.

Try to use this link building method:

-exchange your link with others,

-submit your link to link directories,

-write your own article with back links and submit to article directories or article distribution service,

-write comments or forum topics with your back links,

-syndicate your site,

-create your sitemap,

-share your site page or article page to social networks and bookmark services.

If you use article marketing or article writing for back links you must write your article to article directory or article distribution service.

You must follow some submission guidelines and after submit you must wait awhile to see your article live and your back links in search engines.

I think this is the best, cheapest and most effective way to build your back links.

So, if you want to find great article directory for your submission and don’t want to wait more than 48 hours to be approved I suggest you GSARTICLES Directory with good page rank and fast service.

PPC Software 2009 – Google Shadow

admin    PPC     2009, Google, Shadow, Software

Google Shadow – The Story or The Product

There is an unbelievable story that seems to be sold right along with Google Shadow. Its about Tim ’shadow’ Houston. The man that honestly just did what worked whem he started selling affiliate products. And along the way he seemed to cultivate a method that was simple , yet totally effective at the same time.

Tim was just like many of us that have turned to Internet Marketing as a way to survive this economic crisis. The only difference is that the Shadow man never took the time to get sucked into all the hype filled ebooks and products that have left many of us struggling to undo all the ‘damage’, if you will, that all that bad information has done.

Find Out Why The ‘Gurus” Cant Stop Talking About Google Shadow

Google Shadow is really just the automated version of Tim’s PPC method that landed him at the annual Milionaires Meeting in Chicago, where he meet Chris X, creator of the other best selling Clickbank product. With Chris’ help, Tim has perfected the Google PPC Software that will help marketers avoid all the excess techie ’stuff’. 

Stuff that can steal our time and money like:

    1.  Building Websites                                                                                                         2.  Creating Landing Pages                                                                                                 3.  Trying To Build The “Huge” Lists                                                                                     4.  Competing In Overly Saturated Affiliate Markets                                                               5.  Paying Out The Backside For The Competitive Keywords                                                 6.  Wasting Time On Products That Dont Sell

Thats just a small list, we all know about everything else we go through , just to try and make a few bucks.

The Old PPC Software

There is a difference with Google Shadow, than the previous PPC Software. For the most part, PPC Software like PPC Spy, is great for PPC marketers. Knowing what keywords are working for successful marketers is definitely helpful. When you can copy the exact campaign of someone that has locked up the top ‘blue ribbon’ spots at the top of Google Search Results, you are on the right path. 

And then ther is all the other information that older PPC Software provides, like being able to see what kinds of products the competition is promoting. That is info thatr really doesnt have a whole lot to do with the ppc software or ppc campaigns, but knowing what successful marketers like to promote is still valuable insight. 

Google Shadow is PPC software that is a more automated type of product. The insights found in it are the insights of the creator, Tim Houston. The software is set up to replicate his simple, yet effective methods for creating ad’s quickly and effortlessly. You see, Tim made a fortune from creating small, profitable ad’s. Instead of spending ton’s of time with that stuff I mentioned earlier, he would create 100’s of ad’s. 

But he kept the spending to a minimum. Using only 3-5 , targeted keywords.

So after Tim fired off a ton of ad’s, he could find out if a product or ad campaign was profitable….without spending more than $10-$15. But it finding profitable products can be done for way less , like $5.00. 

How?

Google Shadow Shows You The Way

The last big benefit of the Google PPC Software is the ability to avoid the competitive markets and sell products that are profitable. Remember , profitable means that you can make more money off a sale, than what it costs in advertising to make that sale. So when you use Tim’s methods of finding profitable niches that arent competitive, you will only be spending around $.05 – $.10 per click. That gives you around 80-100 clicks to find out if the product will sell. 

Not only is it cheap, but it virtually takes no time at all. Leaving you the ability to create a few different campaigns. And in the long run this is a strategy than can be duplicated over and over. 

PPC Software has always been a very unique product. Like the extra research step that can put us over the top. Google Shadow takes it even further. It could be the product that changes the way we market products.

Follow the link below, and find out why the biggest marketers on the planet are interested in Google Shadow.

admin    Google's Nexus One     2009, Development, Smartphone

As smartphones further paved their place in the enterprises, Apple, RIM Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola and Google Android are eying for the spotlight. In the last quarter, Gartner said that Smartphone sales had surpassed 41 million units, a 12.8 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

Today, Smartphones have become a compulsory gadget for corporate users. They are not only revolutionizing the mobile handset market, but also changing the way we use PCs. The reason behind the success of the Smartphones is increased interest in social networking with Facebook and Twitter, which demand high speed internet and connectivity features.

In 2009, all the major mobile vendors update its range to increase their revenue and market share. Here, the feature discusses the biggest stories in the Smartphone industry.

1.    Google Android platform and Google Phone

Google Android is an open source mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel launched back in 2007. The platform targets mobile devices in large, but now it seems that various PC vendors are working on Android based netbooks and tablets. Recently, it is reported that the Android OS claimed 27% share in the market, whereas iPhone OS reported 55% share in the Smartphone market in US for November month.

Various Smartphones based on the platform is already available in the market like HTC G1, HTC Droid Eris, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy, GW620 Eve, etc. Meanwhile, Google has been working on Android based Smartphone, called “Nexus One”, which will be available in January and will pose challenge Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s Blackberry.

2.    Apple updates its iPhone

In June, Apple launched the iPhone 3GS, with a boosted processor, better camera, more storage space, and a digital compass. The new Smartphone is more evolutionary up gradation than the revolutionary improvement to the hardware. The new iPhone 3GS has a number of new features which will certainly impress the corporate world like hardware encryption and support for ActiveSync policies. The new device fixed various anomalies of its predecessors and incorporated features like copy and paste, universal search, voice memos, and remote wiping.

3. Microsoft Windows mobile 6.5 OS

Microsoft launched a minor upgrade of its Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system in October for next generation of Smartphones, called Windows Mobile 6.5. The new software features a new UI and a richer browsing experience having new services like My Phone, which allows to synchronization of text messages, photos, video, contacts and more to the Web; and Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

4. PC vendors join the Smartphone race

After the recent success of Smartphones and the take part in the pie, major PC vendors like Dell, Acer, HP, etc join the race with their handsets. In November, HP had announced its new iPAQ Glisten, a feature-rich 3G world Smartphone that meets the increasing demands of modern mobile professionals. In the same month, Dell Computers launched its Android-based Dell Mini 3 smartphone. Acer had introduced neoTouch, which is a new addition to its growing line of Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets, based on 1 GHz Snapdragon CPU.

Social Media Marketing- the Top 10 Mistakes People Will Make in Social Media in 2009

admin    Social Media     2009, Marketing, Media, Mistakes, People, Social

Here we go again!

Another year and another great possibility! With the election of Obama to the presidency, there is Hope and all are looking for a great future.

But I am sitting here thinking of all the folks in social Media that are going to be frustrated again in their social Media marketing efforts. wondering why they are not getting the traction or friends that they thought they should. And the main reason is that they continue to make the same mistakes in Social Media as last year.

Are YOU going to do that- I sure hope not. You may not have the power of a Robert Scoble, or the personality of a Gary Vanyerchuck, or the mind of a Chris Brogan, or the networking focus of a Mari Smith or Coach Deb micek. Or even the amazing writing talent of a Scott Monty.

At least not yet.

But you CAN accelerate your Social Media Success this year by avoiding these top 10 mistakes made by people in Social media in 2009.

Ok…what are they?

1) Lack of Consistent Visibility.

You cannot make a path and create a presence in Social Media, without CONSISTENTLY being SEEN and HEARD with your message. Ask Carrie Wilkerson. Or Timothy Carter. NOT going to happen. That is why that you MSUT create a Presence on the web DAILY- and be seen and heard as part of the community. A tree does not grow part time. It must be consistent in it’s efforts. It is the saem with your Social Media marketing.

2) Focusing too much on being heard.

LISTEN first- THEN talk. Social Media is about Listening to what is being said- by your prospects and customers- and social media in general. You would never enter a party or social event and immediately start yelling out what you wanted to talk about.

Neither should you in Social Media. LISTEN and then LEARN- and then Let your voice be heard- ONLY as a part of the existing conversation. Your time to start the conversation will come.

3) Taking, instead of GIVING to the Social Media Community.

Ahhhhh- lots of takers out in the Web 2,0 world. But NOT YOU. GIVE first. Give Value. Give Suggestions. Give Advice. Give ideas. Give Encouragement. Give News. Give New Possibilities. Give Words of Gratitude. But do NOT take relentlessly. You will be shunned and labeled as such.

If you REALLY want to create powerful influence- GIVE. How does that work?

GIVE = Gain Influence Very Easily. Give FIRST – and you will never come in Second.

4) Not Joining groups.

Groups are where you can have some of the greatest growth and learning. I belong to a ton of groups. Why? Because of 2 reasons: 1) I learn a lot from other people. 2) I CONNECT with the folks in the group.

Groups are a “secret weapon” that you should use on as many social sites as you can. They will not only Enlarge you- but also the possibilities that the group can bring to your life.

5) Not attending Events.

Events ROCK. And you should be attending at leat 1 event a week to do 2 things: 1) Become more Visible. 2) To learn from people that know things you do not.

Events are what i call the “Hidden University” of social Media. You can learn a LOT and grow a lot from events.

Look at the events that interest you. And pick on event that mildly interests you. And see if you can learn something even from that event. I have an event journal. and every event that i attend- i keep a log of what was said so i can review it later. You may want to do the same.

6) Not enough VALUE in what they are doing.

Value RULES in Social Media. And we train on what we call “Surprising Value.” This is the type of Value that is so great and unexpected that it surprises the person that discovers it. Put More Value in your POSTS. Put more Value in your PODCASTS. Put more Value in your Conversations. Put more Value in your Articles. Put More Value in your Recommendations. Put More Value in YOU and what you bring to the Social Media table.

Value RULES. And the one with the MOST value at the end of the day- reigns.

7) Joining Too Many Social Media sites.

There are about 3,600 Social Media sites. You need maybe 5-7. You read that right. You need 5-7 PRIMARY Social Sites. Then you need maybe 25-30, or even 50 Secondary sites for Link Building and traffic purposes. The main sites that you should be a part of- is up to you. My ‘Big 7″ are facebook, twitter, youtube, LinkedIn, Stumbleupon, Plaxo, and Wordpress- along with mashable. These are the CORE of my Social Media Marketing.

Do I belong to more? Heavens yes- a LOT more’ but have automated those through ping.fm and other social software.

Do NOT try and be seen on a hundred sites. Facebook alone can keep you busy with over 200 million people. The same with myspace, or friendster. Master ONE site while mastering social media and then another, and then another, until you have YOUR “Big 7.” And then automate the rest.

Focusing too much on Monetizing Social Media.

Nothing wrong with monetization on the internet. We do it a LOT- and daily. But focusing too much on that in social media- is , well…not cool. People do not mind knowing about an offer, or new info product. But how about giving some VALUE first with it- then invite them to an event- and then at the end of the conference call or webinar-give them a chance to purchase your produst.

What do I see daily? Urls and messages SELLING SELLING SELLING! Whew- wish that would not happen so blatantly. It has gotten better, but if you have a great content rich info product- here is a novel idea: GIVE part of the info away FIRST’and let the person ASK you for the product if they like it.

Hmmm….that just might be an idea worth considering.

9) Thinking that You are Nobody and Social Media Success is for other people.

Ask Chris Brogan. Ask Scott Monty. Ask Alejandro Reyes. Ask Brian Solis. Ask Dave Taylor. Ask Shama Hyder. EVRYONE has a great possibility to becoming SOMEBODY in Social Media. THAT is the beauty of the culture. Everyone who contributes Value and Connection- is more than welcome to achieve whatever they want. Chris Brogan once had 10 readers of his blog. Now he has almost 40,000 people following him on twitter alone. Brian Clark of copyblogger fame once had 10 readers. So did Scoble. So did Monty. So did Shama. And the list is endless.

There is GREATNESS inside of you-and there is NO BETTER place than Social Media to unleash it upon the world. You ARE Somebody- and always have been. YOU are a Social Media Rockstar- in training!

10) Not Branding Yourself Strong Enough.

Branding is a tool that we all use in Social Media. It is WHO YOU ARE- and what people remember about you. It could be a phrase-”Just Do It (TM)”- or a slogan- “”We’ve Got You Covered.” Or even a questions- “Can You Hear me Now?” or just a Name-”Trump.”

You need to get a slogan or phrase that you can start wrapping in your messages. You need to get an image that speaks what you want the public to see and know. And you need to decide -what is the ONE THING I want people to think of FIRST- when they think of me and my company? THAT is the start of a good brand build. Do not be just another face in the web 2.0 world. Set yourself apart and above the fray with a brand that rocks. We teach what is called “Connection Branding” and we have saying:

“Do NOT just be known or remembered- become UNFORGETTABLE.” ™

THAT is what you need to do!

These are the top 10 mistakes people will make in Social Media in 2009. Yes, i Know there are others- but these are the ones that i see as the most prevalent in Social Media marketing.

Social Media Marketing- 11 of the Most Critical Words to Use in Social Media in 2009

admin    Social Media     2009, Critical, Marketing, Media, Most, Social, Words

Conversation.

Yep- that is what the core focus is in Social Media.

Ok- let’s get REAL. If Social Media marketing is about conversation, then should there not be words that fit in to what the culture of social media is all about? Should not you paint a picture with your words? Should your words not elicit feelings and emotions?

Of course they should.

Words are a marketer’s tool box. Here are 11 you need

1) “YOU.”

There is nothing more powerful to a person reading a message or conversation that has the word YOU in it, over and over. Many people have an “I” mentality, and in social media, you are not the deal. The other person or side of the conversation is.

There are 2 forms of conversation in social media::

a) “Contribution” and b) “Distribution.”

” Contribution conversations” contribute to the whole, and add Value to the conversation. “Distribution conversation” distributes the message/agenda you want- and has little inclusion of someone else. Contribution words use YOU many times. Distribution words use “I” or ‘Me” many times. Use the word YOU and become a Contribution Agent in social media, not a distribution rookie.

2) “A Person’s Name.”

Duh. There is nothing more beautiful to a person than their name. This is a given. I am surprised how many tweets, notes, and messages i get and also read that do not say the person’s name. Use their name at least once in every communication and message as it adds to the conversation.

And also, a person will retain almost 70% more of what a message says, if their name is within the first 3 words. Chris Brogan is a master at this. I have seen and studied him, and every time he tweets or sends a message- ususally the name is the first word.

Smart. VERY smart. we all should follow that lead.

3) “Connection.”

This word is an indication that you want to connect and start a relationship of some kind and create an ongoing conversation. Many folks use the phrase “get together” or “meet up” or “network.” Thise words are good- but CONNECT has a power within the word.

Electricity us usable when you connect to it. Same thing as a battery in a car which powers the car. And idea is only powerful when you CONNECT to it. The Power is in the Connection-when 2 things come together. It is the same in new relationships- it is all about CONNECTION.

4) “Tribes.’

This is an interesting word. Seth Godin has a cool book called “Tribes.” I suggest that you read it. But as far as a word for the social media arena, it is a word that helps define that you are within the culture and understand the community aspects of what social media is about.

In tribes around the world, it is all about community and belonging to that community. It is the same in social media. Recently I described the community we are building within a project as an “empowered tribe” and some people got it- and well’others did not.

Make sure if they do not understand the concept of tribes, then you explain it.

5) “Transparent.”

In social media, being REAL is critical. And part of being REAL is being open and transparent. I love it when I read statements like “full disclosure” and people are disclosing that they have an interest or are on some board of a company they are talking about. THAT is so rocking hot. It shows that they are being transparent and nothing to hide and telling the truth.

And that is what social media is about in many respects- TRUTH about you- and what you are and do. THAT is transparency. Use that word when talking about the truth. Just being “transparent” – that says a lot in one word about you.

6) “Strategy.”

Social media without a strategy for it, is like building a house without a blueprint. You need to develop, plan, start, and execute a strategy for your social media success. We call it a “Social Media Path.” What PATH do you plan on developing for your business, and how will that fit into your current model of business? What will be your Primary social media Platform, and what will be your secondary platforms?

PATH stands for “Purpose- Actions-Tracking-How.” what is your PURPOSE for integrating social media into your business? Marketing? Prospecting? Client communication? Customer service? What ACTIONS will it take? Videos? Blogs? Podcasts? Social Networking? What TRACKING system will you use to keep the platforms at maximum pace? And HOW are you going to Execute the Actions? Through employees? Through outsourcing? Through a combination?

Strategy is a word that you just talk about. You need one. And so do others that you know as well.

7) “Branding.”

This word has been around for a while. But you still need it in your focus and communication. Branding is a word that you need to utilize not only in your messages, but your focus as well.

YOU are the Brand is a popular way to discuss social media marketplace image making. But that is not totally true. The PERCEPTION of you is the brand you are building- good or not so good. So make sure that if you use this word in social media this year, you realize that PERCEPTION Rules in Branding.

Brand yourself in the marketplace. But make sure that you focus on the VIEW and FEELINGS people have of you and experience when they think of you—and what you do- and not just some catchy slogan or icon.

8 “Trust.”

You need to be an Agent of Trust. Chris Brogan has a book coming out called “Trust Agents.” Should be a rocking hot book. What about you? Are you an Agent of Trust? Just like a Real Estate Agent markets real estate, you market Trust in all you do. That is the real estate of the heart.

I like to get that word out there quickly-as i believe that people i do not know, that is on their mind. “Can I trust this guy?” And I usually message something like, “Our company helps build leaders and businesses through concepts and ideas that people can trust and feel good about.”

THAT is using the word Trust- to build trust.

9) “Family.”

Some people use “network.” Some use “team.” Some use the word “community.” Some use the word “friends.” I like the word “Family.” it is personal, powerful, and paints a picture of what social media really is building- a family that can help, be there for each other, educate, equip, and empower for greater good.

One thing that I do- and again- just an idea’I welcome everyone on facebook or twitter or youtube or any other social connection with “Welcome to the family!” This says so much more than “thanks for following me” or “appreciate the connection.” We ARE family- and I hope and pray it stays that way.

10) “Value.”

It ia ALL about Value. It is all about the VALUE that YOU bring to the table. It is all about the VALUE of your conversations and contributions.

And it is ALL about the VALUE that you help others see within themselves. Edify. Encourage. Empower. And become a “Carrier of Value” to everyone you meet in social media and GIVE some Value to them.

11) “GIVE.”

This is the MOST important word. GIVE. Why? In social media, it is not the same ol business methodology. It is Biblical- if you will. “Give first- and what you give- you reap.” Giving is the culture of social Media. Why do you think that people give so much rocking hot info on their blogs?

Giving is a Power. It is something that not only is part of the evolving culture of social media, but also the CATALYST of much of what social media has already become. if you are a marketer, New Marketing can be almost threatening to you as it flys in the face of traditional marketing- or does it?

No- not really. It is simply marketing that puts PEOPLE FIRST- not profits. It put RELATIONSHIPS FIRST- not results. And it puts GIVING FIRST- not grabbing for their checkbook.

These are the 11 Critical words that I believe should be included in 2009 in your :

1) Social Media Philosophy.

2) Social Media Conversations.

3) Social Media Marketing Actions.

4) Social Media Core.

If you do, your Success should be rapid in social media marketing.
