Social Marketing Sites

on the web 2.0 platform you are either social or dust. No one pays attention to the “me, me, me” tune. The “you, you, you” is losing ground too. What matters today is “us” and how we “share data”, communicate and interact.

Top 10 Social Marketing Site with a few excellent resources attached:

1. FaceBook: Facebook is the 5th most popluar site in the world today. Facebook is the perfect place to develop relationships online and now boast with more than a 100 million users online.
2. Squidoo: There’s been plenty of debates whether Seth Godin’s (the king of marketing in my honest opinion) collection of half a million pages still delivers quality traffic after a not so recent Google Slap.
3. Hubpages: Hubpages are relatively the same as Squidoo. Instead of a lens, you build a hub. Hubs with blatant affiliate promotions will not get approved.
4. StumbleUpon: Site absolutely rocks! Install the ’stumble’ button on your Firefox browser to vote sites a thumbs up or down, or simply bookmark a favorite while doing research on the fly.
5. Mashable: Mashable is the worlds largest blog to focus on all the web 2.0 and social networking news.
6. Digg: Digg is a community-based social news site with a readership who is extremely tech savvy. You can submit your articles, blog posts, videos, pictures, etc and if the community ‘diggs’ it, you get, well, digged.
7. Technorati: Technorati was founded to help bloggers collect and share information for online global conversation. Technorati currently states it is tracking over 112.8 million blogs. Once you have sufficient content, you need to claim your blog with Technorati.
8. MyBlogLog: MyBlogLog enables bloggers to talk amongst each other and learn about their readers by checking out their blogs and active communities.
9. Propeller: Propeller is a social news portal which, like Digg, is controlled by the popularity which is voted for by the community. Make sure your content is newsworthy and original when you submit to Propeller.
10. Mixx: Direct competitor of Digg who is receiving a lot of attention from CNN, who now adds a ‘mixx it’ buttons with all their content.
