Social Online Secrets..

Sociability is probably not one of things which first jumps into your mind when you think of websites and online interactions. However, making your website more sociable can help increase your popularity on the internet, and in turn, your ranking with all major search engines. Kind of like the way your position in the school yard is benefited when the cool kid compliments you on your new bike.

The online equivalent of acknowledgement by the cool kid is a forum or discussion list on your website. A forum allows for social interaction and is a meeting place for people with the same ideas, beliefs or interests and if those interests involve your products, you can gain valuable insight into the wants and needs of your customers by hosting their forum and encouraging their discussions.

But just as you don’t jump right in and try to impress the kids at school with your knowledge of PS3 before discovering that the ‘in’ thing is actually Xbox, try participating in existing forums first. You will first have to become a member to participate and before you jump in with how brilliant your product is, make sure you understand the tone and protocol of the forum. No one wants to be bombarded with ads under the guise of a discussion, so rather than offering your services straight out as a solution to the members’ problems, try to discover more about their needs, why they are having problems and how they want to solve them.

In your signature which is listed with each post you can include a link to your website and be upfront from the beginning about your business and interests. This not only creates links back to your website, which search engines love, but also increases traffic with the number of posts you make, which search engines pick up on even more.
