Casual Articles - Social Bookmarking... Confused? You're Not Alone
Alot of companies will look for potential employees at local job fairs. Not only is it a great way to locate new workers, but it is also a wonderful way to reach out to the community. The hiring managers can conduct a sort of 'pre-interview' with many candidates, in a face to face manner. This is an extremely cost effective way to find qualified candidates. It also allows those looking for a job to ask many questions of company representatives to narrow down their possible list. In this regard, job fairs are win-win situations for both sides.Those hiring will, however, receive many more applications and resumes than they will possibly need. This is a small price to pay in the quest to locate the right person or persons for the job. Most realize that the hiring process is an involved one, usually requiring several int
Tags are basically equal to metas and content. However, tags are used in blogs and rss feeds. They are the trigger words for online feeds to categorize (more or less) what it is you're writing about and posting. Obviously tying your words to popular tags will be very important.
http://del.icio.us/tag/ is a huge list of popular and not so popular currently used tags. My advice would be to be sure you've got the Google toolbar installed. As you click on some tags, check the page ranking (little green bar) on your Google toolbar. That will help you see how popular (or not) that particular "tag" is... and remember you don't have to "follow the crowd." You can choose tags "not so popular." Then, when others pick up on those tags, you're already ahead of the game :)
In the future, give your tags some very serious thought! Your tags will brand your own posted entries.
========================
Automotive sales are in a slump, and no one understands this better than employees of automotive dealerships. And while new car sales may be on the decline, the pressure to boost sales and revenues remains an integral part of the automotive industry.But selling new and used cars during a consumer drought can be increasingly difficult, especially given the level of competition that exists in the automotive industry. Dealerships compete viciously for customers by offering special pricing deals, low-financing guarantees and other sales tactics, bombarding consumers with radio, television, and print ads in an attempt to beat out their competitors. Not surprisingly, many potential customers have begun to tune out traditional automotive advertisements, turning instead to their friends or mechanics for advice when the time
The long and short of social booking is, it is a way to save your Favorites folder (or portions thereof) online. This means no matter where in the world you happen to be, as long as you've got a connection to the internet, you just log into your social bookmarking account and voila! at your fingertips are all of the important urls you might find yourself needing - but without access to - since your computer is sitting home and you're not.
Now that is a good idea! Saves uploading a bunch of urls to your domain, or remembering to send them to your Aunt Sally before you visit, on the off chance you'll need to remember that special something while you're away.
(By the by, it's also a quick way to actually use your home computer. I don't know about you, but my Favorites folder is virtually useless at this point.)
But, there's even more to social bookmarking then easy access. You can also share this information with others. Your friends, family, co-workers, subscribers, whoever, can easily see what you've been uncovering on the web and decide, at that point, if it's something so useful and/or interesting that they, too, would like to access it easily through their own social bookmarking account.
The logical step from there (since I'm assuming that you are reading this because you, too, are interested in new ways to market on the net) is to find a way to tie bookmarking to your service and/or website.
If this is all new to you, too, head here: http://del.icio.us/ This is a very popular social bookmarking service.
You'll see numerous urls listed on their main page, and since we're just getting the hang of this (assuming you don't already have an account and are way ahead of my learning curve level), let's practice :)
Beside each of these web page entries are the faint words "save this."
Put your mouse over the "save this" and click. If you have an existing del.icio.us account, it will take you to the log in page for your account (for you smart ones!). If you don't have an account yet, you'll be given the opportunity to create one now.
After creating your account and logging in, you'll see an area on your screen where the url you've chosen to bookmark is awaiting your description and/or notes and/or tags.
For our purpose, initially bookmarking our first entry, you need not worry about this too much at this time. Give it a description and/or tag that will make sense to you. You can delete it later.
Hit the save button and voila! You've got the beginnings of your social bookmarking!
At this point, under your "settings" area (upper right hand of screen in del.icio.us) you can do any number of things. Importing your current Favorites folder (or portions thereof) is available. Explore!
Now that you're on the road to social bookmarking comes the fun part... telling others what you're doing.
If you have a website, you can easily add (assuming you do your own webmastering or know the rudiments of copying and pasting) a "save this page" to any and all of your important webpages within your site. Use the "help" link, then read "For Publishers" under the Feeds and Tools section. That's where you'll find the code.
In addition, you'll want to share you're newly found method of communication with others. Get your family, friends, subscribers, mailing list involved in bookmarking your small chunk (del.icio.us listing) of the social bookmarking web.
Then, make use of it! Don't just load it up with junk. If you're a writer and find interesting writer's resources add them to your account. If you're a news junkie and track particular newsworthy items, post those!
As you get more and more familiar with social bookmarking, you'll understand the importance of "tagging" your information correctly. According to del.icio.us, your page goes on the front page (I've yet to see any of mine though) and also is filed away under sub-indexing using those all-important tags.

A LAYMAN'S EXPLANATION OF TAGS:
If you're just bookmarking stuff online for yourself, no worries, but tags are critical to your marketing social bookmarking success.
Tags are sort of like mini meta desciptions. Tags cannot be inserted into a regular html page (don't bother trying to put them on your website, they won't do anything but take up space).

Just because we receive a referral, it doesn’t mean that the sale is ours and the deal is closed even before we make contact.For all you know, the person being referred to you may have also been referred to someone else, so don’t take your referrals for granted.Treat your referral as though it is someone that you have never heard of before, make believe you were cold calling and came across this name on your list, and when you called them, they showed interest in your product.Now, you would never treat your very own hard earned customer with anything but the best customer service, would you?Of course you wouldn’t, you found this customer on your own through hard work and you want to keep them.Think of your referral in the same light.Far to many times I have seen referrals that have

It is an amazing thing that you find a press release for a particular product posted at a site that doesn’t meant for such commodity. Despite the fact, the press release drags you to the company's website that has no existence in any search engine listings.From this one can easily come to know about the influence of well optimized press release. How those press releases were able to get in search engines? Certainly, they were well crafted and efficiently optimized.On the other hand, you might have come across poorly written press releases that does not even augur keyword based ranking in news and search engines. Stuffing keywords in press releases would lead to spam subject, which are being distributed with a bare minimum.So, what we supposed to do? Write a simple release that does not contain keywords

I'll admit, I've only just scratched the surface so far. I don't claim to be an expert (that's obvious), but I do know that with further education and implementation, social bookmarking as a marketing tool is definitely worth the effort.
And... like all new things takes a bit of fumbling around before we get it right.
So ahead! Get started! See where it leads you - the next brainstorm idea is only a few minutes (okay maybe hours or days) away! :)
