So what do you think of FaceBook?

I’ve been on MySpace for several years, and I think it’s a great networking tool. I recently became introduced to FaceBook and am trying to figure it all out. It’s a lot different than I thought it would be - there are so many widgets and applications. But it does seem like a good place to network.
I’m not going to get rid of MySpace (click here to be my friend)…..
But I am going to spend some time getting to know what FaceBook is all about. I even created the Indie Biz Chicks group. I’m not quite sure how to promote my FaceBook profile yet, but search for me or send me your email and I’ll add you.
While you’re at it, send me any other FaceBook tips you can think of. I’m going to need them!
Scratch My Back?
I’ve been reading a lot about the new Scratch Back Widget and thought I would go ahead and give it a try. (for those that don’t know, a widget is a little gizmo you can install on your blog) You’ll find this new “toy” over on the right column of the blog under the heading “Are You In My Top Spots”
Basically, this widget is supposed to help the blogger earn a bit of money, and help the blog readers increase their web traffic.
If you want to be listed in someone’s top spot, you pay $5. Your link is then there for the world to see (and hopefully, the world will click on that link). Since this is a one-way link, this will also make the search engines take notice. (the search engines like one way links).
I just bought my own top spot on another blog today, too. So I will check my stats and see if I get any traffic from that. I know my friend Nell from Answer Lady Network had been doing this and she saw some dramatic increases in her search engine rankings…
Which of course, is not bad for a $5 ad…
In any case, the jury is still out on this. I haven’t played around with it long enough to know if it is as awesome as people say.
But why don’t you help me try this by buying one of my top spots? Let me know if it brings you traffic!
great info on using technology for networking & marketing
I found this post on The Woman’s Dish blog that is full of great info on using technology to help w/ your marketing and networking efforts. Generally speaking, if you are an “online” kind of person, you are probably kind of shy and if you are an “indie” person, you are probably not to amped up on the idea of joining a stuffy old networking group. Well, thanks to the internet, ya don’t have to! Read the post to learn more
