The whole point of this blog post was to demonstrate how CommentLuv for WordPress benefits you in many different ways.

What happened is revealed in the video, but it just goes to prove the power of this WordPress plugin.  Check out this video to get the rest of the story:

As you can see, some of the benefits are totally unexpected.  The moral of the story is to actually use CommentLuv.  Imagine if you leave 5 comments each day, 5 days each week, after one month you could have 100 of these stories like mine!

Use this WordPress plugin every day to get traffic, grow links, but most of all, build relationships.  It's called Social Marketing for a reason, go get Social!

SocialAdr For Social Bookmarking

There are lots of different opinions about social bookmarking today and just how important they are in the overall scheme of social marketing these days.  As everyone knows, I'm no expert!  However, I will share why I like and recommend using SocialAdr for social bookmarking.

First, they currently employ 19 different social bookmarking sites.  Their Setup Wizard makes signing up at all 19 a snap.  Once complete, you are ready to start bookmarking other members' content.

Each time you sign into your SocialAdr account, on your dashboard you will find your Share Queue.  This is pre-loaded with other members' content for you to browse.  You then simply click once on "Share", and that member's content is shared across all 19 of your accounts.  Bam, just like that!

You can "Share" up to 5 times each day.  Each time you do, you earn Credits or "Creds".  You then use these "Creds" to pay for other members to bookmark your content.  So what happens is people all over the world, from all different IP addresses, are bookmarking your content in their account.

Think about that for a second.  Most of the time when you think about social bookmarking and SEO, you think about getting as many links as possible, right?  So, right away you're probably thinking about some software or service that promises 120 bookmarks, right?

If you go that route, you will gain one bookmark from each of 100+ accounts, all of which are in your name, and accessed from your IP.  But what if your content was only bookmarked at 19 different accounts, none of which were in your name or IP address?  And what if the same content was bookmarked over and over by lots of different people from all over the world?  Which do you think looks more natural to a search engine?

By using SocialAdr daily, I earn enough "Creds" to keep my content getting bookmarked around the clock.  The links just keep piling up with no effort from me whatsoever.  I don't have to worry about which social account I'm using, or which proxy setting is going to work today.  I just spend around 2 minutes a day sharing other members' content, and I'm finished.

I like the fact that it's human powered and membership driven.  If you want to eliminate the 2 minute daily investment there is a paid version as well.  The service works exactly the same, however, you are not required to log in and share others' content.  From there, you can purchase more "Shares" in incremental packages.

So far, I have noticed my links showing up in the SERP's, and my content is quickly indexed.  There's always a chance my content might wind up in one of the social bookmarking site's "Popular" categories too, giving me a little free traffic!

So using SocialAdr for social bookmarking has been a great experience for me.  It's not a single solution to all of your link building requirements, but it is a strong foundation.  And I can say that it works, around the clock, even while you sleep.  Make SocialAdr part of your daily content syndication routine.
