This site review should be performed when the bulk of the established websites and profiles are set up. This review will build an inclusory text presence of at least one data record for your website in a multitude of online directories. If a site like TTR.com has a hundred thousand users a day and you tap only a hundred thousandth of them, that’s still one more site visitor per day you’ll gather to your site.

2. Associated Content.com

Associated Content can function in a multitude of ways for your domain. This text article portal was one of the first on the scene and quickly captured the tent pole for online content publishing. The web publishing angle can bring in personal revenues of cash while providing relevant SEO promotion of site worthy content and another outlet for material relevant to your site but not completely appropriate for it.

Articles at Associated Content are not edited by administrators and can include link back to any online sources they quote. This online publishing portal is actively embraced by its user community, with comments and article views soaring off the charts for well crafted text. AC is an excellent way to repurpose content is a new way that attracts minifees for page views. That’s research into your site that returns a cash value directly to you over time.

3. MySpace.com

The MySpace entry will allow any appropriate online hookups to your demographic of users. The person looking for some type of related service or entry at your city cluster might stumble on your site or information by reason of demographic proximity or related keywords. Users on portal “x” can’t experience your site appeal if the entry isn’t there.

The terms the webmaster chooses to promote and the groups the MySpace members join will in turn bring about further notice of the site. Recommended sites and member profiles on social network sites like MySpace work to flag users as a way of providing them source material without even having to execute a search.

4. FaceBook.com

Facebook is a place for people with extra time to look for something to do. Why shouldn’t they be looking at your site instead? Give them something to do, and you have an audience and a visitor fanbase. Everyone on FaceBook wants to be the first one to discover the great new site, profile, url or app and tell everybody else about it.

Triond is a unique place to submit articles because they choose from their host of publishing sites, groups, and news nets where your article will go. This saves you the time of finding likely users.

6. Helium.com

Participating in article submission or content production at Helium is challenge, but it can be done. If your site has any claim to fame publishing unique material, providing a unique solution or coaching a difficult task, it still might be considered an authority source. Helium claims to pay article premiums but the system is very unpromising. Work at Helium for page views and social network and comment referrals alone.

7. Ning.com

Ning.com is a positively received social network framework site that allows users and members to launch imitative portals with customized modules. If your site works better graphically featuring a product, then the slideshow or video module can take center stage. Ning is very plug-and-play. Ning.com can take the place of a target website if you can’t afford hosting or want another option. Just plant the url of the domain name and link it up.

8. Twitter

Surely no marketing trend has been more publicized than Twitter. But don’t let potential users miss an opportunity to keep up with your site. Your target demographic may only get one email or Tweet a year with an offer or feature that attracts them to your site. But multiplied by the manic population of tweeted individuals, there is a mighty wind blowing.

9. YouTube.com

YouTube is known as a video site but many of the featured attractions are slideshows or even static pictures with Mp3 or audio tracks attached. With a little versatility your site can have a how-to video, a lecture on some important terms to know, a coaching session for some kind of process, or a related video with accompanying narration that compliments your site.

YouTube video is a fantastic source of original images, because any frame capture serves as a cropped original content piece for your site. That saves a fortune in time and money scanning the microstock sites for legally usable images. YouTube remains the most inspirational yet unique and creative marketing promotion tool ever invented. Domain name owners not tapping into it are missing out.

SEO Site Review/Listing Template

toolbox

Some while back I blogged about how filling up a site can be simple with original content in the form of site reviews. But site reviews can be research for opinion pieces and commentaries as well. For many webmasters and site authors, however, the trick is knowing where to start. The below review template should work for just about any article. A very good tip for beginning content writers is to capture the essential web journalism inherent in a website, product, or movie review. The template below is only a beginning.

Sites featuring just reviews are now big websites and reviews of the quality of these reviews  are websites too. One of easiest ways to generate content is to react to content already up somewhere else. Reacting to other published material is web journalism. This content generation can be from newspaper websites, media portals, or even tech publications and customer trials. Links to original sources build trackbacks.

Here is a sample review and one bit of text that can be used as an interchangeable submitting beta model for your site reviews. The unique aspects of a review, the critical commentary, the perspective and experience the writer brings to the writing is what makes the reading of it interesting. This example is only meant as an original authoring tools for webmasters to use to craft their own text.

Be advised many review website portals will have their own interface designs and input formats. Sometimes the web sites the comments blog will accept an inset of pure text, and in other types of review sites a format for manual submission of  salient points is provided. But by reworking and repurposing much of your material, the reviews will spin into new content and furnish a website with anterior text lines to support an enhanced SEO footprint.

AssociatedContent.com likes a text block with snippets, a photo, and some links, while FastReviews.com likes text and ratings, as well as cost and vendor information for products. Even sites ratings reviews are hot online right now. The reworking of the below text featuring reference urls, source links, and destination urls can also be used for link directory submission abstracts.

These sites and their routines for submission can be very good training wheels for new bloggers or webmasters. Meta tags and introduction of relevant keywords is absolutely suggested and encouraged. A small generic photo can help promote your site, especially if the site credit allows the webmaster to put the idea name or the site name in the photo credit area.

Web link areas of websites should have mini-reviews already present for browsers to scan.  The ready made abstracts made form these types of basic reviews can be furnished to article directory and link directory submissions  services for enhance SEO optimization online. These text blocks can even be used for audio narration accompanying a video of the site or a slideshow of screenshots.

Copy the text and insert the appropriate keywords, content urls, and links as necessary. Quotes and a link from the original site or product text can also validate a review. (I have used DomainOwl as an example for obvious reasons). Edit as needed. Bracketed are areas where a choice or substitution is required. Underlined are substitution points for keywords or proper names.

Remember to spellcheck afterwards!

Recently I bought/visited/clicked at (destinationsite.com). My experience was [ expected, awful, disappointing,  surprising, as expected] or [lackluster].

[Products/sites] such as (Domainowl.com) are highly relevant just now because of the [rise/increase/acceleration/noticeable trend in] the [technology/information/industry/marketplace] for [keyword/ subject/product type/site synonym, topical noun.]
