Content Syndication SEO
Content Syndication SEO is what some call SMO - social media optimization. The theory is that search engines are now quite impressed with social proof, meaning:
- Real people are bookmarking your content
- Real people are making comments on your articles
- Real people are syndicating your online work
When search engines see the above, it's no longer a theory. It's the real deal. Google will favor SMO and put the article with social SEO ahead of those with just good technical SEO.
SEO 1.0 vs. SEO 2.0
Social Media SEO has been called the second generation of search engine optimization, or SEO 2.0 and it is super powerful - as it should be. Afterall, the search engines simply want to give us what we are looking for when we search online. What better proof is there than real people syndicating what they like for certain keyword phrases.
This content syndication strategy can even be purchased as a service, a "content syndication service" (CSS) providing a chance for your content to go viral. All you have to do is write great content. The service brings in the traffic, get comments posted to your blog posts and articles and videos, gets all of it bookmarked voila! In no time at all your videos, articles, etc. get placed on page one of Google in no time! If your stuff is good, it's given the launch you need to dominate.
So what if you were able to be part of a community of people, real people, 100s of them, who all agreed to syndicate each others work non-stop, 24/7 bookmarking, twittering, facebooking, Digging, commenting, on your stuff all day long. Sounds impossible and would be if it had to be all manually done.
But it doesn't.
Have you ever heard of SynndSEO? That's the name I picked out to show you on a new blog what can actually happen when 100s of people join a private community and use a new technology called SYNND, created be Charles Heflin and his research team.
I captured a 5 minute look at what happens, hands free, with the technology called synnd. And it happens all day long. Just watch a little of it. Move the slider forward and watch a little more. Unbelievable. And it happens quietly in the background. I just took it out of hiding so I could show you.
Network Marketing Online SEO 1.0
Here's a video version of one of my Terri-fic Traffic Tips on how to get traffic to your blog. Of course, step one is blogging for business but if you are serious about network marketing online, blogging is simply the hub of your marketing efforts. You start a blog and talk to your audience about what you know, what you're learning, what you like doing... but the way people get to know you on their way to your blog is more social than it is technical.
In other words, SEO 1.0 is technical and very important to generating traffic to your websites but it's really no longer my number one Terri-fic Traffic Tip. SEO 2.0 is.
Here's part one (SEO 1.0) of the bigger picture...
How To Get Noticed By Google
A Terri-fic Traffic Tip
Not many networkers understand page ranking by Google and even fewer realize that getting traffic first from natural traffic is the most powerful way to get Google attention now.
Once upon a time the way to get Google to notice you was to know all about technical search engine optimization (SEO) That's still important but the very best way to grow your business online is to wave Hi! to Google with your subscribers.
Google Can See You
The reason I have a nice Google page rank of 2 on this front page of my blog is not because of my technical expertise at search engine optimization. I try but I'm definitely not an expert.
A page ranking of 2 is pretty good. A Google page rank of 4 is considered an authority site. When you reach 4, get ready for advertisers to contact you and pay you for letting them post ads on your high ranking site. Cool, huh!
Internet Traffic
When I look at my traffic statistics, I can tell that a lot of visits are not coming from Google searches. Most of them are coming from direct hits or from social media sites. The direct hits are probably from my list.
About onceper week, I will write a post that seems good enough to me to send out via email to my list. People who have either opted in to one of my affiliate programs or have bought ebooks from me. It's not a huge percentage of my list that actually clicks on over here, but about 20% do. (THANKS, You Guys!!)
So email marketing and socializing in forums will send traffic to your website and all those people will wave at Google for you, getting you noticed not just by Google but by other search engines as well.
Social Media Optimization
So how does visiting on forums get Google's attention? I'm not really sure but I do know that I've seen my words and my name jump out at me sometimes. When I search for certain keywords, there I am - my comments show up now and then. A word to the wise,stay professional at all times in forums.
Also if you are active in forums, people will check your profile and then click on your site there. Several backlinks to your website or blog from hight ranking sites like Facebook or BetterNetworker can really get Google's attention, especially lately.
Things are changing with SEO. I get a few visitors wholink frommy profile pages fromTwitter, Facebook andBetterNetworker.I can see that in my traffic stats here at Squarespace. It's what many people are calling SEO 2.0 - orsocial media optimization.
So here's my Terrific Traffic Tip for today - write something and then get out there and socialize about it. Post the link on Twitter,bookmark it at Digg, and put it in your status blurb at BetterNetworker and Facebook. Then get ready to say Hi to Google!
Charles Heflin of SEO 20/20 Can Make You Famous
Charles Heflin Can Make You Famous Helping You GROW YOUR BUSINESS!
Charles Heflin has a new PROVEN theory about internet traffic and how to get it. I joined his private membership several months ago and have been hanging on his every word since then.
Imagine my delight when I saw that he has been visiting this blog! Thank you, Charles!
Get Tons More Traffic With Charles Heflin's Help
I have been involved with technical SEO learning from Heflin for quite some time but now things have changed dramatically. Now social media SEO is more powerful. How do we know that to be true? From Social Media Marketing Research...
The truth is, search engine robots are now looking for social proof that you provide valuable information for their searchers. If you can't show evidence of that on your website, technical SEO won't be enough any more to get you on page one of Google. The other search engines are also getting wise.
Don't stop learning technical SEO but learn to add social media optimization as well. Or, you could use a social media marketing software designed by Heflin and his research team. 
Heflin's Syndication Revelation!
Social media marketing takes time, a lot of it. It can distract us from building our business if poorly understood. Social media marketing software can also be ineffective if the creater misunderstands what maketing research has revealed.
The "Syndication Revelation" discovered by Heflin and his research team is why their software is exactly what we need to launch our work. It's an instigator that in minutes will give content a chance to go viral.
The software is called Synnd. It syndicates the value you provide in your posts, articles, etc. giving you "enough exposure in social channels" to launch a viral marketing campaign for you. But there is a catch. If you are not providing great content, Synnd can't help you.
But as Heflin says, your content will "continue growing and snowballing under its own power... if you are writing educational, enlightening or entertaining content for your target audience..."
Stay tuned! I'm testing the waters for you. My Synnd results will be posted here! You can also call me if you want more information or if you are already using Synnd and need help.
To your success!

Add A Digg Icon To Increase Traffic To Your Web Content
Okay - I Did It! I Just Learned How To Add A Digg Icon!! Get Ready For A Really Terri-fic Traffic Tip!
This is so exciting! The latest on generating internet traffic that I've been reading is that we do not have to be so technical. We can just be natural in all that we write and Google will like us!
But here's the key - Google will like us and what we write IF OTHERS bookmark our work. So we must make it easy, Peasy! That's why I'm so excited. I just added my very own Digg icon for you to click on in order for me to get Google's attention. Just Digg it for me and Google will notice.
So here's how you put this icon on all your content:
- login at www.Digg.com
- go to the bottom of the page and click"All Digg Tools" = 3rd column
- under "For Web Owners and Developers" (I know, isn't it cool to realize you qualify to look under that heading! Stay withme...)
- click "Integrate Digging In Your Site"
- go to number 2 "Simple Digg This with Digg Count"
- copy the code and paste it somewhere to copy again in just a minute it looks like the following, in fact you can just copy it from here... <script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script> - now go to your blog and pick one of your favorite posts (don't login yet)
- click on the title of that post that you like
- now look in the address bar - see how that post has it's own address? copy that address and paste it where 'WEBSITE_URL'and remember to add the ' ' around it. so it looks like mine only with your address... <script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'http://internetmlm.squarespace.com/social-media-marketing/2008/11/23/squidoo-and-rss.html';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script> - okay, now you are ready to put the code into your post at the beginning of it so login to edit your post
- switch out of wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) mode and go to raw html mode
- paste the code before your first sentence
- save and close and voila! a Digg button.
Now comment below with your favorite post address and I'll come over to your site to Digg It. Twitter your post address and tell them how excited you are that you just added a Digg icon and invite them to Digg It. After a few Diggs like that from your very own website, Google will notice and give you a high ranking. No SEO tricks. Just natural internet traffic. It works!
More Advanced Digg Icon
Use the code below for even more Google power. Why? Because submitting your own stuff to Digg isn't as effective in Google's eyes. The code above won't submit but the one below will! If your article is media - news, topic - buisness, then simply replace your http website url where the code says WEBSITE_URL and where is says TITLE, replace that by typing in your title, and where it says BODY, replace that with the excert from your article. And voila! Anyone that clicks first will submit for you. Too cool?
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL';
digg_title = 'TITLE';
digg_bodytext = 'BODY';
digg_media = 'news';
digg_topic = 'business';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
