I’m sure you’ve heard of Tag Clouds and what they are. If not, welcome to the world of social networking on the web. There are too many great articles out there that do a much better job than I could at explaining the ins and outs of it, so I would just recommend you search for it on your search engine of choice.

In the mean time, there’s a nifty little site that tries to capture some element of this, it’s called Tag Cloud Marketing, and it’s basically buying a text links that lead to your site.

It looks interesting and as you can see, I’ve already listed this site here…

Well, I still haven’t had the time to re-install my other theme, so I will just post a quickie for now.

Found this great article called 21 Surefire Tips for a Successful Blog Launch – of which I think I’ve done about 3 of the tips.

It’s a great read, so check it out.

Found out about an interesting new site where you “trade” your site similar to stocks – I could waste my time trying to explain, but instead, I’ll just post the link and let you figure it out.

Social Recommendations Engine

Enjoy.

MLG or Major League Gaming is a great way to not only earn props, but some mad coin as well. Currently, there are only 2 games that qualify, Halo and Super Smash Bros. I understand Halo, but Super Smash? I’ve played that game and it seems like it has an easy reamp-up on winngin the game, but there are soo many moves and characters to play, I imagine if MLG was around when Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat first appeared, those games would’ve had their own tourneys.

Anyways –
There is an excellent site that can help players beef up and get better in preparation for competition, and it’s called Gaming Lessons – check them out today!

If you know anything anout optiizing a website or blog to get rankings in Google, you know there are many variations as to what people are willing to do to get ranked.

Everyone claims to have some “secret” and here is a place to share those.

SEO Secrets

If you haven’t heard of MySpace, I suggest you pull the plug to your internet connection and return to your life as a hermit.

MySpace is essentially the web’s hang-out place – it’s intentions are to get you re-introduced to your old high school friends (unless you’re still suffering through it), sets up possible dates, lets you see local events, and tries to give everyone a sense of Internet coolness.

This is all great, but for the amazing amount of traffic that the site generates, can you target any one audience, and try to sell a product or service to them?

Methinks that would be a hard task.

Not that you shouldn’t try, and I am sure there are enough products and services that the MySpace crowd would be interested in.

But can you get your message to them without getting flagged as spam? Craigslist users do a great job of policing spammy postings, when there are avid readers of a certain topic.

To get rich in America, you need to have a product that has 2 things:

1.) sell for $20 or less
2.) can be purchased at Wal-Mart

Every piece of white trash can afford a $20 item.

So, with that in mind, I ask if anyone “out there” has had any success in doing this – I’d love to hear your thoughts…

If you don’t know about the site named digg.com, then, you need to go back to your blind AOL world and stay there.

For the rest of you, here’s how you can game the system for diggalicious results:

1.) Post about Digg – Flattery gets you everywhere
2.) Be a digg junkie and buy a shirt like I did
3.) Steal other people’s articles on getting dugg on digg and 10 steps to guarentee your digg
4.) Then steal articles on Digg making it harder to get dug and how now that YouTube got sold, is digg next?
5.) Use diggSpy to see what people are digging – duh!
6.) Bash Microsoft, Google, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo WII, Halo 3 and Final Fantasy.
7.) Praise Apple, WikiPedia, Google, Microsoft and Digg.
8.) Harass all your friends to “digg” your post.
9.) Post your Digg list and tag your site on De.licio.us, Technorati, reddit, etc.
10.) Make sure you write a “Top Ten” or “How To” post.

Enjoy beyatches….

OK, I am quick to admit that wikipedia is pretty good, but it’s stiull got some issues – since I know a “black hatter” who is supposed to be on the “editorial” committee, I know that wiki is being gamed for seo purposes. It’s becasue of that I have no proiblem posting this halo 3 link to W. Or this link to Halo 3 Cheats

Yup, I saw it today at GameStop – Halo 3 was officially available to pre-order. So, of course, I entered and plunked down the $100 for the “Legendary” version – apparently you get all kinds of collector crap with the game.

But while it was cool to see that I could pre-order the game, they told me that it wasn’t coming out until November 2007.

Crikey!
