I found this list via Yahoo’s web services today, and thought it was interesting. It’s a valuable peek at the most frequently used tags for web pages. If you’re marketing a site via social media, or looking for a niche broad enough to provide blogging fodder for a few years, it is a neat way to see what the most frequently bookmarked ‘topics’ are.

Interesting to note that four out of the first five are video related. This could possibly mean that users are more likely to tag interesting videos than interesting text content online.

UPDATE:

Just 14 more copies to be sold before I cut off memberships. Get in soon, or miss out!

At long last UltraBookmarker is available to the general public.

Check it out at http://www.ultrabookmarker.com

It’s a steal compared to similar software. And even if all you do is tag your Adsense pages, I’ll bet you make your monthy subscription fee back in one or two days, leaving lots more time to make a tidy profit from your bookmarking activities.
And so far I’ve seen one affiliate even offer a bonus package for subscribing through their link, which I think is astounding, considering the low cost of the software.

(If I hear of any more bonus offers, I’ll let you know.)

At least, the first public release of UltraBookmarker is finally done.  To preserve some exclusivity to the pre-release offer price, you’ll have to find the url to purchase it in the Warrior WSO forum, or by signing up to my list at http://www.hitminder.com (the url is in the PS of the very first message).

I have to say that getting it to public release mode has been a challenge, but very worth it.

I’ll only be offering maximum 100 copies at this way-too-low price, so you might want to check it out soon!

Not too long ago, I focused my traffic building efforts on the BIG sites.  I wouldn’t submit to a directory unless it got lots of traffic, and lots
of existing listings.

I wouldn’t submit tags to a site that wasn’t one of the top ten social bookmarking sites.

And then it all changed.

I asked one of my employees to do a little promotion for a new site,  and submit the URL to every related directory he could find. And he
did exactly that.

He submitted to sites that got maybe 1,000 visitors per year.  Directories that had only one or two other sites in their index. Sites I would have ignored completely.

A few months later, as I was analyzing my stats, I slapped myself upside the head seeing what I had missed by ignoring low traffic
underdog sites.

I saw that low traffic does not mean NO traffic.  I saw that many of those sites have a ‘recent submissions’ section on their
front page. Even with only 100 visitors a month, each and every one of those visitors were seeing my listing. And with not much else
to click on, a LOT of them came to visit.

In fact, one of those teeny, tiny underdog directories brings me more traffic each month than my listing in Dmoz/Open Directory
with all its billions served.

The same holds true for Tag and Ping.  I had a fine piece of software built for me that submits to social bookmarking sites automatically.
It submits to Digg, and Furl, and Del.icio.us. And those are valuable sites to be sure. As long as they don’t institute the nofollow tag
they’ll pass on some Page Rank too.

But I also had my programmer add some of the less popular sites, and that has made all the difference in my tag and ping efforts, and related
revenue.

A submission to Del.icio.us might bring one or two visitors, but a submission to my favorite underdog bookmarking site brings me
50 new visitors per day.

And all this brings me to a request.  I am going to be releasing my social bookmarking product in a week. I’d like to ask you to hold off
purchasing any other bookmarking software till you see what I’ve got to offer.

Here’s my promise:

• It will be affordable
• It will submit to the ‘big dogs’
• It will submit to the ‘underdogs’
• It will be fully supported and updated each and every month.

So, please hold on to your wallet. I promise it’ll save you money,
and bring more traffic.

I’ve been having fantastic results with a bookmarking tool I’ve had my programmer build.

Fantastic isn’t the right word for it. Superlative. Awesome. Really cool?

Anyway, my original plan was to sell it, but it seems that the social bookmarking websites change their registration and posting information a little too regularly, and selling it would mean keeping up on a much tighter schedule than I had hoped.

For my use alone, it really doesn’t bother me if one or two of the 22 services are not working for a week. But I’m quite sure people who have paid me for the software wouldnt be so care-free.

So, either I scrap plans to release it, or consider releasing it as a subscription, cuz I’ve got to keep my programmer in style. I hate it when this stuff happens.
