Say what you want about Social Media but it is everywhere. [Tag-Tec]You Tube[/Tag-Tec], [Tag-Tec]Face Book[/Tag-TEc], [Tag-Tec]MySpace[/Tag-Tec], [Tag-Tec]Digg[/Tag-Tec], StumbleUpon, Entrecard, and Friendster just to name a few of the thousands of sites that are out there to help us get to know one another and share. That is what Social media is about Share and Communicate in a way that is less personal and confrontational but gets you out there. Check out This video put out on YouTube in regards to Social sites and their downfall.

Going Natural 2.0 – This Stuff Really Works

Just wanted to make a quick post during all the hype of Going Natural 2.0 and [Tag-Tec]Stompernet’s[/Tag-Tec] new coaching program [Tag-Tec]SMARTS[/Tag-Tec]. In case this is your first time to this blog or you have not heard of SMARTS, then you really need to check out my past post’s relating to Going Natural 2.0. In the past couple of videos Andy talks about getting higher listings in the world of Google searches and getting sub listings. I just wanted to take a minute and upload a screen shot of a Google search I did tonight related to Going Natural 2.0 and Stompernet.

Going Natural 2.0 Search Engine Listing

As you can see by the screen shot I have been able to get spots number 5 & 6 on page 1 of Google for the term Going Natural 2.0. First page and an indented listing from Google, and this is just from the information I received from the free Going Natural 2.0 videos. You can check out the free informative videos at my post going natural 2.0 social media or social marketing, and if you want more information about the new SMARTS coaching program from Stompernet check it out here.

Do You Have The SMARTS to Succeed in 2008?

Today is the day folks! Stompernet launches SMARTSSocial Marketing Traffic Strategies and I am truly excited about this launch. I missed out on the original launch of Stompernet, and have been studying these folks ever since then. In my humble opinion the guys behind Stompernet, Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon are pioneers in the SEO world. I have been getting their newsletters and following their blogs for about 15 months now and am amazed at the depth of their research and knowledge.

SMARTS is going to be a great coaching program that also includes a great piece of software that will help you tackle Social Marketing and make it easy for you to get into. I would recommend if you are at all interested in their new coaching program SMARTS, that you get in as soon as possible as their will be limit as to the number of people they can except and still provide a great coaching experience. This is a timed coaching program, so once they are sold out, that’s it.

Going Natural 2.0 – Social Media or Social Marketing?

****Warning The Video at the bottom of this post shows how the [Tag-Tec]Stompernet[/Tag-Tec] boys managed to claim the first 8 PAGES on Google (yes, pages, not listings) through social media marketing. ****

I Just got finished watching the latest video from the boys over at Stompernet in regards to their Going Natural 2.0 Video series. The new video titled ” SMARTS Social Media” is the longest of the series, but definitely one of the most interesting. Between keeping up with what’s going on with Going
Natural 2.0 and Entrecard I don’t seem to have enough time to do much else.

Do you know the difference between Social Media and Social Marketing? Neither did I until I watched the new video series. The new Going Natural 2.0 video is nothing but great content. It’s got plenty of information that you can do starting right now that will make a huge difference in your business (that is if more traffic and better search engine rankings means more business for you).

Lots of folks have dabbled with social media – you probably even have a MySpace page or a Facebook page. But it’s one thing to put up a simple page on one of those sites, and it’s a whole different ball of wax to build your business using these THOUSANDS of social media sites in a systematic and strategic way. And once you engage the full power of those strategies, the speed and power of this stuff is incredible. In fact it’s downright intoxicating. You can generate nearly instant search engine rankings (in other words, forget about that Google Sandbox,) or drive big floods of traffic directly to your site. Or drive conversion rates through the roof by preselling your traffic. In the video they give you four killer Social Marketing strategies, which you can learn by watching the video. Believe me it is time well spent.

I thought this would be a good time to recap all of the videos, free information and free software from the Going Natural 2.0 series.

Going Natural 2.0 – Are Your Readers Blind?

Here we go again,
In my 1st post about Going Natural 2.0 we discussed the 1st video Stompernet released where Andy discussed how to double your Traffic by getting double listings with Google and how this affects your organic search traffic. In my 2nd post Going Natural 2.0 – Duplicate Content I talked about their 2nd video “Destroy Duplicate Content” which shows you how duplicate content can hurt your website and how to avoid certain types of duplicate content. Very valuable information as Google will penalize you for having duplicate content.

Stompernet - Going Natural 2.0

[Tag-Tec]Stompernet[/Tag-Tec] has released the 3rd in their new series of videos appropriately called “Click Fu”. Well actually it is the 4th video, the 3rd being the christmas video they did announcing the new [Tag-Tec]Scrutinizer software[/Tag-Tec] and the accompanying video that describes the software and the purpose of using it.
This new software is actually pretty basic in terms of what it does, but watching the video and using the software with what you learned from the video provides truly phenomenal insight into your website design. It truly amazes me how much these guys give away for free to the internet marketing community.

Here are Ten Things You Can Do with the Free Scrutinizer Software

1. Simulate eye tracking in a usability task
2. Assess the ease of use of multi-step processes
3. Give your designer a fresh pair of eyes
4. Find out what “pops” in your design
5. Conduct findability challenges
6. Ask: does your visual grid work?
7. Evaluate your site’s contrast levels
8. Insure learnability in your template
9. Avoid button gravity errors
10. Tell the story of how your eyes work

I consider [Tag-Tec]Andy Jenkins[/Tag-Tec] and [Tag-Tec]Brad Fallon[/Tag-Tec] tops in the field of [Tag-Self]Search Engine Optimization[/Tag-Self], and the fact that their giving their software away for free to help you in your website conversion, puts them in the top ranks for wanting to help their fellow Internet Marketers. I know what your saying, “Hype, Hype and more Hype” normally I would agree, but even if you do not buy in to the end product, the information you grab from all the crumbs they pass out should easily help you in your marketing endeavors. As for me I will take the crumbs and decide when the time comes if I want to buy the bread. By the way if anyone knows how I can become an afilliate for this product please drop me a line, as I would very much be interested in promoting this product and maybe make enough to pay for it.
