NEW INTERNET MARKETING TECHNIQUES

Do you know what "Social Bookmarking" and "Tagging" are?

They're relatively new Internet marketing techniques, but not knowing them means you could be missing out on powerful traffic generating tools.

What is Bookmarking? Social bookmarking sites enable you to save your bookmarks online, rather than on your browser, and share them with other users interested in similar subjects. Besides viewing the content you post, other users can repost it on their own sites, with a link leading back to your site. This independent, user-generated content has become known on the Net as "citizen-" or "participatory-media".You can post original articles, blogs, music, product reviews, recipes, photos, podcasts, videos, and more. Setting up accounts with any bookmarking site is free, although certain sites work best for circulating certain content mediums:
• Technorati.com, Digg.com, IceRocket.com—general bookmarking
• GoogleVideo.com, YouTube.com—video submission
• Flickr.com, Buzznet.com—photo submission

What are Tags? Tags are essentially keywords that let you organize your posts. Similar to optimizing your web pages around specific keywords, you're tagging your posts to make them easy for users to find. Under a given tag, the most recent posts get top positioning, so staying ahead requires regular posting.As with SEO, you're not looking for high-traffic keywords that you can't consistently rank well for. You want words further down the proverbial market tail, with steady, moderate traffic. If you can dominate numerous long-tail' words, all that traffic will really add up. And narrower keywords tend to produce more targeted, higher-quality traffic.

Read why you need to be using these techniques and what benefits you'll get.

THE WEIRD AND THE WONDERFUL

There's no question that to get lots of people interested in your video you'll have to come up with a visual that is compelling, funny, weird, interesting but importantly, something that stands out in the crowd.

Japan. Now there's a place that's renown for its 'weirdness'. Where you have an endless supply of material.

Here's an idea - network and hook up with a video producer (or just someone with a camera), someone who travels to Japan or who lives in Japan and have them make a video for you.

Here's something to watch to get your imagination working.
