This morning we’d like to bring to your attention a service website called Twitturly.

You’ll appreciate this even more when we tell you that other than having a Twitter account and posting (and twitting if you don’t blog), you do nothing, yet it still has the potential to send traffic to your website and/or blog – how great is that?!

According to our blog stats, Twitterurly has sent us (more…)

The world is full of ingenious people, and those that bring these geniuses to our attention. Tonight is no exception when I came across first Rockfuse, and then followed that post on to The Sleepy Geek. Both blogs are talking about a new Wordpress post updater called (no surprise here), the Plurk updater.

So what in the world is Plurk?

To start you off, here’s a screenshot, (more…)

Remember the other day when I did a big writeup about SocialSpark? I was going to do it anyway, but found just the fact of writing about SocialSpark could earn our blog $5.50 (and a huge bonus if it was chosen as the “best” post somewhere down the line).

Well yesterday the CustomerLove team approved that very post and in 30 days we’ll be receiving the $5.50 via paypal!

How easy was that?! (LOL, keep reading to find out)

Here was their process so you’ll have a feel for what’s what (including a screenshot of our SocialSpark inbox):

Special Notice: Our favorite Entrecard is currently offline due to a fire where their servers are housed. They are working to get back online quickly and we wish them godspeed! Now on to today’s post…

After almost 36 hours of debugging our wordpress theme only to discover the archives had gone missing due to incomplete data in our HeadSpace plugin, it’s time to explore other ways to take the services and websites you may (should) be using to the next level.

If you’ve read our earlier posts about SpicyPage, WhamX, and Jumptags (we have talked about more, but these three will suffice), and applied what we’ve written (signed up and started using them), we’re positive you’ve already seen backlinking to your website or blog in the search engines.

However, I’m amazed as I log into these programs how so many people are missing the boat when it comes to using these marketing tools.

What I’m discovering is (more…)

Simply put, WhamX is a Web 2.0 Social Bookmarking news and article site that allows you to vote on your favorites. (That is a direct quote from their website.)

WhamX.com would like to become (don’t they all) bigger and better than Digg over time. It can be done, if you make enough people aware that you exist.

So how do you use WhamX?

First, you create your account. Update your profile with whatever information you would like others to see, including an Avatar for yourself or use theirs.

Then you click on the Submitted button and at the bottom of the page (still in the white text area), you will see the bookmarklet to grab. Either store it in your favorites, or if you are using Firefox, draw it up to the Bookmarks level and let go.

The other thing to remember is with this and just about every other service like this, in order to submit something (or vote or do anything) you have to be LOGGED IN beforehand.

Our suggestion is to pick the ones you want to be active with on any given day. Say you want to be able to hop in and out of BlogCatalog, Digg, WhamX, and Entrecard (just a few or you’ll drive yourself crazy). First thing in the morning (or after logging on and getting ready to start working), go to each of these sites and log yourself in. Then stay logged in. Usually that means leaving the browser window open down (at least) on your start bar or using the Tabs in IE 7 or Firefox to leave the web sites open.

Then as you go about your day posting your own stuff and reading and commenting and creating back links to others about theirs, you’ll already be logged into your chosen few and good to go

Below you’ll see a screenshot of the WhamX social bookmarking site, and it is good to note that (according to my Firefox browser with its plugin for checking this sort of thing), WhamX is prepared to give you full credit and full backlinks for your time and effort.

Enjoy!
