Best Internet Marketing Posts of 2008

Best Internet Marketing Posts of 2008

Today is my birthday, and I decided to give you all a gift that few of you have been highly anticipating for a few months now. My most popular post on this site — probably by far — was last year’s Best Internet Marketing Posts of 2007 compilation. I spent about 3 days (and nights) on it (without sleep) and I was quite happy with the turnout. This year, I began starting to write this compilation in the first week of December. The collection begins with posts that start in January of 2008 and have been collected and shared in the last 12 months. Like last year, I’ve grouped them into different categories and written short descriptions on each post. There’s no order to the posts; I’ve used my bookmarks and a variety of social sites and peer recommendations to create this list. I hope this year’s list surpasses last year’s. Let me know how I did in the comments. ;)

Here’s how this works: In the Internet Marketing Best Posts “series,” I take posts that are typically timeless — they’re not confined to a specific event or news occurrence — they’re valuable for the long haul in terms of Internet Marketing and creative strategy. Hopefully, you’ll see that these posts are still relevant in a few years down the road.

These posts range from beginner to advanced with a greater emphasis on the more intermediate posts. I’d argue that if you’re starting your Internet Marketing business with not much know-how, you should check out the 2007 posts; in fact, most may still find them relevant regardless of the skill level.

New for 2008: If your article is highlighted in this comprehensive post, we have badges for you! Feel free to link to this post with the top right hand image, which was contributed by David Mihm who specializes in Portland Web Design. Every post is a winner!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO):

Social Media: Generic Strategy:

Social Media: Strategy for Social Sites:

Twitter:

Sphinn:

  • Beginner’s Guide to Sphinn: Surely there are some of you out there who have never used Sphinn before, but if you are remotely interested in this post, you can imagine that half of the posts I put here were also submitted to Sphinn.? That said, join up and read this Problogger post for some rules of engagement.
  • Top 10 Signs You’re Spamming Sphinn gives you more insights into how to use social news sites properly.
  • Crappy MP3 Sites, Comment Spamming & Enough Already: Danny Sullivan rants about how there are “search marketers” trying to manipulate Sphinn (and other social news sites). He explores examples and shows how hard it is to be a moderator of a site like this. Hey, I hear you.
  • An Analysis of Sphinn: 175 Homepage Homeruns Dissected: This post shows you what people are loving on Sphinn.? It also somewhat correlates to the categories on this post since some topics just happen to be a lot more popular than others.

LinkedIn:

Digg:

  • How to Level the Playing Field with Digg: While I personally don’t like Digg anymore and find that it’s useless for marketers, Skellie think it’s still valuable. (I’d argue “rarely” nowadays.)
  • How I Became a Digg Power User with a 75% Popular Ratio: I got banned in October from Digg with a 67% popular ratio and 278 front page stories and offered very similar tips in 2007, but some people still want to use Digg for this kind of thing.? Personally, I think Digg will ban you when you get popular.? The guy who wrote this blog post speaks from the same kind of experience.

Wikipedia:

  • Using Wikipedia to Reveal Web Traffic Data: Jonathan Hochman writes a piece on how, when using Wikipedia, you can find out about how much traffic a top search ranking will send.
  • How to Overthrow a Wikipedia Result: This is a good tactic but you should use it in moderation!? Don’t get caught!
  • Wikipedia 101 for Marketing: The awesome Todd Defren explains how you can use Wikipedia to market your business.? But as many of you who have attended SEO conferences know, don’t do it from your company IP address or face the banhammer.
  • 3 Awesome Wikipedia Tools and How they Could be Useful: I’ve never really known of any real good Wikipedia tools except for WikiScanner until this post (and this post doesn’t even talk about that IP scanner program).? ? So there you have it — 4 tools for your Wikipedia enjoyment.
  • What to do When Your Company Wikipedia Page Goes Bad: The problem with editing your own company page when you work for the company is that there are moderation issues and biases.? So what can you do once someone adds bad content to that page?? Jessica Bowman tells you how to make the nasties “fade into the background.”

StumbleUpon:

Fark:

Facebook:

delicious:

Flickr:

  • How to Market on Flickr: While Flickr itself isn’t seen as a community that you would market to, you can find out how to become a respected community member AND market your services as well.
  • An Insider’s Guide to Marketing on Flickr: Rohit Bhargava gives some very detailed tips on how you can use Flickr to successfully market products.

FriendFeed:

  • FriendFeed Can Disrupt Search and Reshape Advertising: Steve Rubel offers his initial impressions of FriendFeed.
  • 25 Different Uses for FriendFeed: FriendFeed power users Michael Fruchter and Louis Gray team up (well, Mike posted the guest post on Louis’s blog) to share some tips on how you can get the most out of this service.? As an FYI, I LOVE FriendFeed (and as another FYI, I said the same about Twitter in 2007 and everyone joined up in 2008.? Just sayin’).? By the way, Louis has a ton of great posts on FriendFeed on his blog and this isn’t the only one.

Best of Techipedia 2008
I typically don’t put posts from my blog in the “Best Internet Marketing Posts of 2008″ list, but this year, since I’ve grown a considerable number of subscribers, I’ve decided to give new users the opportunity to read the two best posts without feeling that they need to dig through the archives.? Of course, if you don’t mind reading the other posts I’ve written, by all means, go ahead.? There’s some good stuff there that I’m not highlighting here (including two on FriendFeed, which is a great content discovery and community building tool which simply doesn’t get much love).

Thanks again to the Portland Web Design company for their awesome badges (and to Jill for the idea).? Also, thanks for all your contributions to this series.? Stay tuned for next year’s!

  17. Tamar – Thanks for the roundup! So much here to absorb. I hopped over via Jason Falls’ Twitter – and was so happy to see my linking secrets post included here :) That post has been incredibly popular at my site, and 10 months later is still bringing in a steady stream of StumbleUpon traffic – goes to show you the power of social media tools.

    Thanks for taking the time to compile this list!

  21. Great Job.

    Thanks for putting this all together.

  22. Excellent resource. Thank you for posting — it’ll take us till 2010 to read through them all!

    I hadn’t seen Seth Godin’s post re: viral yet, so that (so far) has been the most interesting link in the list to me.

    I would love for “viral” to be redefined. It means something very specific, and most people say “viral” when they mean “organic” or “grassroots.” I think it’s been used so badly for so long, though, we may be stuck with what we’ve got. More ruminations about this over here:

    http://www.lohad.com/?p=2215

    Happy New Year!

  23. Thank your for this great resource! Happy Birthday!

  39. Tamar – great list and a definite bookmark (because there is no way I’ll get through all of this even after two passes). Thanks for including me here. I continue to follow you on Twitter and look forward to reading more from you in 2009.

    - Andy

  40. Derek Edmond /

    Awesome list and thanks very much for including me & our company as part of these resources! Here’s looking to an even bigger and better 2009!

  41. Hi Tamar, thank you for listing my blog entry on 7 Social Media Websites and their Impact on SEO. It truly is an honor to be mentioned alongside some extremely talented people.

  42. This is such an awesome list of resources! Thanks so much for this. I can’t wait to share it!

  43. Happy Birthday, Tamar!
    Thanks for putting this comprehensive resource list together. I’m thrilled to be a part of it! I’ve found several highly useful links in each category – will be sure to bookmark and share.

  44. Happy Birthday, Tamar. Thanks the for all the reading material. I need to do some catching up.

  45. I am bookmarking, passing on by email and tweeting this post. Excellent work Tamar. It certainly shows one of the powerful uses of bookmarking – since you collected this information by bookmarking it. We assume you had to do quite a bit of editing too – thank you so much for the effort.

    May I add a request for 2009? It is hard to find good social media tips about MySpace. I have one client for which I have to use this platform (among others of course). http://myspace.com/singelringen It DOES drive traffic if your product appeals to the demographic that lives there. I can’t be the only one.

    Happy Birthday, Happy New Year and wishing you a prosperous, healthy 2009.

  46. Tamar, excellent resource, looks like I am going to have a lot of reading to do over the next few days! :)

    Happy B-day!

  82. Tamar,
    Thank you so much for this compilation. I know how much time and thought goes into a post like this. I intend to tweet this and use it personally, as well, to learn how I can optimize social media tools.
    If you are interested in a roundup of Social Media Etiquette by network, I have compiled a list here: http://communityorganizer20.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/social-media-etiquette-roundup-understanding-cultural-norms/
    Thanks, and I’m now following you on twitter and RSS!
    Debra

    Thanks for taking the time to compile it Tamar.

  85. Good stuff Tamar! Thanks for putting this together, sending it out to my whole crew. Happy Happy and Congrats!

  86. Amazing!? I will say I am little baffled by the reach and depth of this post. But I guess you did have an entire year to work on it, hu?

    Kudos. Here’s to foresight and collecting valuable data.

  87. CMD, yep, like I said, I spend a lot of time collecting the posts over the course of the year and then I compile them for this yearly post :) I don’t blog here often since most of my posts take 15+ hours to research/write. Glad you liked it :)

  88. Awesome list. Lots of great info here. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

  89. Hello Tamar, your article is absolutely amazing! This is one of the best articles i have seen, ever :)
    Thank You so much :D

  90. Thank you very much Tamar !!!!!! Here is all what I need in a one place.I appreciate it and wish you always have time to keep us informed :)

  91. Fantastic post! Good for someone who’s brand new to social media, as much as it is useful for experts! Thank you!

  92. Wow, really great post, Tamar. You brought together all the best articles, to get all the info in one place. Imressive and very useful post.

  93. Superb job, Tamar. This is a great resource. Oh, and happy birthday. :)

  94. Wow this is one great list, I sure have a lot of reading ahead of me although most of the stuff I know already I am sure there is a lot I can learn from still. Thanks and great blog.

  95. Absolutely amazing post. There is onths worth of good quality reading material here… no more excuses folks! :-)

    I will make sure and pass this on to all my valuable readers at http://www.Wealth_info.com

    Happy reading everyone!

  96. Much like Mr. McGee’s SEO pyramid – this post contains WAY too much information.

    You get an A for effort though, Jesus Christ that must have been some work compiling this thing.

  97. Thanks, Tamar! This post is absolutely monolithic in scope. And good SEO practice supplying us with the badges too, I’ve immediately added one on my blog’s sidebar.

  98. Lucinda Wright /

    Thank you for compiling this list of resources. This has made my job so much easier to have it all in one place.

  99. Remarkable compilation of posts.

  100. Lots of useful tips are there, Thanks so much for listing them up. If you can give more update to this list, then that one will be much more appreciated :)

  101. Even though it’s very late, I had to wish you a happy birthday. Especially since it was the day after mine. You should always celebrate your birthday for a full two months!

    Again, happy belated B-day!

    Misty Faucheux
    Social Media/Community Relations Manager, Viscape.com

  102. Here is a comprehensive listing of SEO thoughts, tips and strategies. Thanks for sharing these links to the contents.

  103. There is certainly a lot! of reading here, but already i can see a few articles that im sure will be of interest to me… especially, 30 Ways to Get Links Naturally and Stop Link Building. Thanks for the three sleepless nights just so you could share, oh and happy birthday.

  104. This article is grest, but it’s hard to finish all links here. I’m working on it.

  105. Capt Vlad Nikolskiy /

    Hi, Tamar,
    please, do not consider my comment as off-top, I really expect to get reply/ tips. What do you think, bloggers writing in Russia, can take a part in any competions, award programmes, or we have to wait when something similar will be in Russia (if it will be)?
    Thanks in advance for your opinion.

  106. What a fabulous list – great resource that WILL get used – unlike so many other lists I have collecting dust – thanks so much for your effort!!!

  107. Vlad, I’m not sure why I approved your comment since it’s not really relevant to the post at all nor do I even have the answer. I don’t even know competitions in the US. Might you ask via Twitter or some other channel that is a little more relevant? How is my post related to your inquiry at all?

    Ironically, this is a unique comment, so it went in, but I still do have my doubts on why I approved it.

  108. Really awesome list, really loved the section of online reputation . That is so important to marketing. Great job on this list, really!

  109. what a great article. Thank you.

  110. This is the best post I’ve read this year. I’m not sure why it took so long for me to come across it. Thanks A million. I’m forwarding it to my teammates here at Social Focus. A must read for anyone working with social media.

  111. yea i agreed, this post name should be the “Best of 2008″ in social media world.

    Great Job.

    Thanks
    Paul

  112. I hopped over via Jason Falls’ Twitter – and was so happy to see my linking secrets post included here :) That post has been incredibly popular at my site, and 10 months later is still bringing in a steady stream of StumbleUpon traffic – goes to show you the power of social media tool…

  113. Agreed that this post should receive some merit as one of the “Best”! Great work!

  114. Nice post. Hard work. So a Great Happy Birthday :-) .

  115. Best Online Marketing /

    nice article on online marketing, very well explained about online marketing really very interesting.thanks for sharing such a good information.

    Try also this web for more information
    [Editor's note: edited!] best-online-marketing.co.cc

  116. I wish i had found this article months ago, there is so much info here that it looks like a gold mine.
    Needless to say, it is bookmarked and I will spend lots of time here.
    Good luck, fantastic work.

  117. Great Post, thanks for sharing knowledge.
    I am waiting for Jan,05,2010 for “techpedia best of 2009″

  118. man what a great list you have compiled! its going to take me a little while to get through it

  119. Agreed that this post should receive some merit as one of the “Best”! Great work!

  120. Thank you, thank you, thank you. How about an 09 list now.

  121. wow. awesome. comprehensive. extremely helpful. thank you!

  122. and…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

  123. Tamar, happy birthday!

    One qeustion: I can not find the “send by email” link. Where is it?
    I want to have this article in my docs.

    Tks!

  124. Juan, wow, in my 4 years of having this blog live, nobody has asked that. Best way to do this is to subscribe to the site via RSS and use the email option in Google Reader or the RSS reader of your choice. You would have gotten a daily digest if you subscribed to the blog via email as well.

    Sorry those methods are a bit circular for now. I definitely need to look into how to make it easier!

  125. Juan – it will also live online forever, so you can feel free to access this whenever you want. I actually just realized you commented on the post from 2008 so you won’t easily get the RSS via the methods I outlined earlier.

  126. Thanks Tamar! I know my question is a bit weird but I think this info is completely useful for all of us that work on marketing every day.

    I also wanted to put my comment in the 2009 compilation, but I mixed it up and put it here… lol.

    Greetings from Colombia anyway!

  127. Awesome – just found this post. Its funny how in a fast paced industry like seo, just how much of these links / content is still correct and relevant. Esp loved the SEOBook.com article on “What is a #1 Google Ranking Worth?” as I had been looking for a good answer to that question. NIce work.

  128. Hope, this will give me a complete resource to do my social media work for the next year.

    I can’t but thank you for this informative post .

  129. wow. awesome. comprehensive. extremely helpful. thank you!

  130. Tamar – great list and bookmark
    thanks for the tipps
    but it’s hard to finish all links here

    • I can’t imagine it’s going to be easy! Try thinking about how hard it was for me to gather all those posts, Alex, and you’ll see where I came from. :)

      If you think this is bad, you should see 2009′s list.

  131. Very interesting. Thank You!

  132. great idea and very good site from you

  133. Great story i will post that on my blog

  134. I need at-least a month to read all articles.
    But I don’t mind spending this time if I am going to get something valuable :-)

  135. great article- nice share

  136. Wow, Tamar! That´s a great list!!! Thanks for the tipps.

    Edited: Glad to hear, but edited your name AND site as per my blog policy. I guess it’s better to do that than mark your comment and IP as spam, huh? ;)

  137. Yes a real good article. Thanks for sharing.

    Editor’s note: And again, Dave, you violated my blog policy, where I have asked you to use your real name. Thanks again for playing!

  138. I honestly learned a lot just going through your list. Thank you for putting that together!

  139. Tamar, thats a nice list about internet-marketing-tipps. Specially the articles about facebook are great!

  140. This is a good list of posts. Do you have any for 2009 or 2010?

  141. Huge Thank you to building this list. What is with a list for 2010?!

    Editor’s note: You can check my site and you’ll see when I post the yearly posts – not until January. In any event, I also edited your comment since you violated my blog policy and I reserve the right to edit your links and name as a result. Thanks for playing!
