Why Do They All Function Differently?
Using web 2.0 marketing strategies to promote revenue producing websites wouldn’t be that hard if it weren’t for the fact that every one of these web 2.0 sites uses a unique interface.
As an entrepreneur I’m conditioned to seek out simplification wherever possible but in web design the key is originality.
Take notes when you sign up and use a spreadsheet to keep it all straight.
- Select 5 different web 2.0 properties where you can post unique content, pictures and ideally video.
- Prepare the content for these 5 sites as well as your web site to be relevant to one another.
- Use keywords and phrases to link from these sites to your own site. (inbound links)
- Use keywords and phrases to link from web 2.0 site #1 to #2, #2 to #3, #3 to#4 and #4 to #5.
- Ensure you never close this loop by linking from site #5 back to #1.
Provided that the content is prepared this shouldn’t take more than 15 to 20 minutes twice a week. I recommend keeping the details in a spreadsheet as it will get complicated the longer you maintain these sites.

Hey David, which 5 sites do you recommend
Peter if you asked me that earlier this week Ning would have been at the top of the list… got an email from them saying they're going to start charging… not a lot but when you're using multiple sites to promote you don't want to pay for them… the problem is we never know how long any of them will be free… I know if your using wordpress like my blog, don't use your free wordpress web 2.0 because they'll compete… I use the free wordpress to promote my landing pages along with Ning, Livejournal, Hubpages and Blogger… for my blog I use Squidoo, Blogger (or Blogspot), Weebly, Zimbio and Wetpaint… hope that helps…
Thanks David!
That's it Kyle, compound the content and keep it all connected…
Hello David, what do you like to use at the center? Your blog?
I'm not familiar with LiveJournal. Is that a blogging site as well? I think your next video should cover the sites you discuss in your response to Peter's post.

I think your post to be suitable for everyone who is interested in valuable resources. Thanks
Ning to start charging. oooooooo. good write up
It isn't just the ning communities we form, but hoping the communities we belong to are willing to stick around when they start charging…
Thank you Lisa
I'm actually getting ready to test some new tools for recording Power Point slide shows, so I'll put your request at the top of the list… thanks Susanna
David you always come up with different and valuable information. I learned a lot from the questions and answers in your comments section too. Thank you.
