With so many social networks to choose from their are some do’s and don’t’s you should pay some attention to. Most if it makes perfect sense, but it’s hopefully worth repeating.

Don’t just join a social network for the purpose of dropping a load of links to your sites/pages. - This is often seen as spamming by genuine members of web 2.0 networks.

He went on to offer the following suggestions as to how to interact at social networking sites:

Do take part in discussions that you can contribute to. Be active and share your knowledge.

Only leave links to your site when relevant. The worst and most popular example of this is - blah on topic blah on topic blah off topic link to my site. Another example of this is just replying to a thread, page, comment, etc, in order to leave your signature link behind.

Firefox 3.0 Release Candidate 3 is now available for download. With this release, Mozilla inches closer to the availability
of the final version of Firefox 3.0. The RC3 build really managed to come out of nowhere, as the initial plan was to shoot directly for the gold release from RC2. In fact, Mozilla has managed to say very little about RC3 in comparison to the previous candidate. However, one thing not made public was the impact delivered by RC3, an additional stage in the development process to the original plans related to the official release of Firefox 3.0. Ahead of RC3, Mozilla pointed to mid-June 2008 for the availability of Firefox 3.0.

So IE should better whatch out, because Firefox will soon become number one browser in the top of the most used browsers in the world. And we are not talking only about the advanced web users or webdevelopers ( which may use the extra tools and addons the browser website provides ) but of the casual internet user.

Some persons though, found in social systems a way of creating websites with a lot of traffic. And actually, the website is running its self, all the owners have to do is work 1 hour a day on selecting some pictures and posting them on the website with some funny comments.

This seems quite easy eah ? Well, let me tell you all about it then. In Romania one of the most used Social Systems is Hi5. There, users can post images, write blogs, post video from youtube, add comments to pictures and all these stuff you can do on really any other system of this kind. Now, nothing special until now, right ? Everyone uses hi5, how can I get traffic for my website ?

Well, on this hi5 there are all kind of pictures with girls on boys that dress funny, have a funny attitude or try to look sexy but instead they look awful. So, someone though selecting few of these pictures, creating a website, posting the pictures ( already available on hi5 ) and adding their own comment on these pictures. After the while, the website got so popular that the users/visitors started to search for pictures and send email to the owners of the website.

From what I understand now, the owners of these websites have that many pictures that their websites will run with fresh content a loooong time further.

So, I said something about the traffic, below is a nice image of how much visitors you can get with a WordPress using website and some pictures.

So if you would like to develop, here’s an ideea.

UK WW member ROO who uses Squidoo successfully for various things have this to say about his experience with using Squidoo:

Very possibly if I could focus on a particular niche! Instead I find squidoo great for developing my ’skills’ at web publishing, treating each page as a mini-site on the subject that catches my imagination at the time. Also it allows me to experiment with niches that I may develop into websites in future. Meanwhile I have no web hosting charges or do I have to search and pay for a relevant URL, and squidoo pages usually get googled and start getting traffic within days of publishing.

Other UK WW users have a different take on Squidoo, you can join in the most convinient ways:

Google are getting really good at disguising how they handle sites selling paid links, and are quite happy to handle this manually as well in the following manner.

1. Someone (probably one of your competitors ) reports your site for selling links
2. Flag raised
3. Link map created for your site and cross referenced to other reported sites
4. Human visits site
5. Human applies Page rank flow block to site(s)
6. Pages drop like flies
7.? what next, what to do now?

You say it is easy to get PR if you are using your own sites, the danger of that is that Google are quite happy to bring down a network as they are to bring down a single site.
