I just put up a new page on my Web 2.0 Strategies blog. I am doing a demo of my "Web 2.0 Whammy" strategy, which is designed to get your website or blog indexed in a matter of days and skyrocket you to the first page of Google's search results for long tail keywords. It will also work for competitive keywords but the results take a little longer.

Anyhow, the page is the first piece of "linkbait" that I have created for jtmartin.net. A linkbait page is critical to the success of a good social marketing strategy. Once you get people to your site, you need to give them a reason to come back. This can be a video, and article, a podcast, anything that has enough value to make some one bookmark the page so they can come back later and access more information.

In my case, I have put together a list of every social bookmarking site I could find. There are 158 total and they are listed in order of Alexa ranking and I have also listed their Google page rank so you can see how much weight your back links will have. Go check it out and make sure you bookmark it because I am going to be adding a list of all the social news sites and a list of all the video sharing sites.

Squidoo has got to be one of the best tools an internet marketer can use. Where else can you:

• promote your product
• brand yourself as an expert
• promote an affiliate product
• build your opt in list
• boost your search engine ranking

and do it all for free! You don't even need a hosting account. Squidoo does all the webmaster work for you. All you do is add content to the different modules. Advanced users, that know a little HTML, can customize their modules even more. You can even use some CSS to spruce up your Lenses and give them a unique look.

I am not going to go into the details because it is way to much for a single post. Instead, check out this video and then I have a free report for you at the end of this post.

The new product by Harris Fellman launched yesterday, and as usual, he has over delivered beyond all expectations. 4 Minute Money is a membership site that contains 5 separate guides. Each guide is an easy to setup income stream that will start making you money almost immediately. Harris has also included, in the "Elite" membership, software scripts to help you automate your little "money makers". He has also included lots of tutorials and videos to help you set everything up.

I joined as an elite member yesterday when it launched and have only had time to browse around the members area a little bit and check out guide #1. The first guide is about an affiliate marketing tactic that I have never heard of or new it existed. Totally awesome fresh content! When I saw how simple this is going to be to set up I couldn't believe that I have not heard of this in my 4 years of Internet marketing. If you want to learn more you can download this free report, go to my Hub page or Squidoo lens where I am writing reviews of all the guides as I go through them.

Andrew Fox is launching a new product in three weeks called Affiliate XFactor. I have picked this product to show you an excellent example of viral marketing campaign. The launch is 3 weeks out and he has already begun his campaign. He is givng away a free report. This is nothing new or special except for one little important factor.

He is paying $1.00 for every referral and $.50 on every second tier referral. That means that everyone you get to sign up for the free report will earn you a dollar and everyone they sign up will earn you fifty cents. Not only that, when the product launches, you will earn a 50% commission when any of these referrals buys the product.

Do you see the strategy here? Andrew has added a monetary incentive for people to spread the word about his upcoming product and is creating an army of affiliates prior to launch. The money he is paying per lead is nothing compared to the money he will earn once Affiliate XFactor goes live.

He also has a sign up form on the squeeze page so he is building his list at the same time. There is a general consensus among marketers that a list subscriber is easily worth $1 or more. So, the dollar that he is paying per lead is insignificant compared to the results he will receive. Keep in mind that he is not doing any of the work. I have received tons of emails already from other marketers promoting Affiliate XFactor and Google is already full of results for the product name.

This is only after one day. I would say that this campaign is already a huge success only 2 days into the prelaunch. Andrew is not stopping there. He plans to give out even more free content before launch which will only further fuel the fire. The trick behind a successful product launch is to build your prospects into a buying frenzy. When launch day comes, you want them to be chomping at the bit to purchase your product.

I am going to predict that Andrew has a very successful product launch just based on what I have seen so far. In the meantime, you can go get the free report, your affiliate link, and make some easy cash buy helping him promote.

There is a new Web 2.0 website called Qassia. Like most Web 2.0 sites it revolves around member participation. You submit articles and snippets of information that they call "intel". Your "intel" is then rated by other members and you are awarded "Qassia cash" which can be redeemed as views and backlinks for your webistes and blogs. "Qassia cash" is also rewarded for referrals and for rating "intel". The cool thing is that you can earn real cash too. Enter your Google adsense account number and display ads on your Qassia pages. You get 100% of the money earned, not a percentage like other Web 2.0 sites. Qassia is still in beta and not open to the public. You can only join by invitation. So here is your official invitation from me. Click here to join Qassia.
