Back To Work After The Holidays

I hope everyone had a good 4th of July. I took the entire first part of the week off, but despite the hangover, went back to work the day after. Didn't start til 9:00 am, but that's one of the benefits of working at home . Yesterday I did my usual 250 pages on Webizinsider and hit surfgroup 1 for 40 pages each. Not a whole lot but I was busy setting up my new tool.

It's called Web 2.0 Submitter. I mentioned Squidoo last week and this kind of ties in with that. Squidoo is a Web 2.0 website like Myspace, Reddit, Digg, Technorati, etc… There are tons of them now. The thing they all have in common is the use of tags to help people find similar content. A lot of them let you submit snippets of information to the main site and people vote them up or pass them on depending which site it is.

The cool thing about this is that it's like having thousands of classified ads to your website. It also creates back links to your websites that boost your google rankings. To read a detailed article about how to use these sites to your advantage, check out my Squidoo lens on Web 2.0 Submitter.

I have vowed to surf everyday this month and report my results right here on a daily basis. Don't forget to leave a comment if you have any questions or need any help. Oh yeah, I had 3 sign-ups over the holidays and had 7 referrals in the traffic exchanges. That means there are at least 2 people that are giving the system a try. This is normal. I would say only about 15% of the people that sign up actually do anything as far as setting up their own website.

All I have to say about that is "the few that do, are the envy of the many that watch".
