Mails received from noreply@spam-network.com : Sudhir has invited you to become friends. Login to your Spam-network account to accept or decline the invitation. NOTE: There was no un-subscription option for me. Plus, if you reply to noreply@spam-network.com, chances are that your mail would be bounced back. And there are folks, who will actually respond to such spam invitation!!! I have actually received such fake friendship invitations from most of the renowned social networking websites, and unfortunately, I have seen that the account of the invitees did not exist (might have been deleted), or, the invitee does not have any relationship with me. I am NOT AGAINST SOCIALIZING. Rather, I'm a big fan of online networking. But this is the surest evidence of the fact that mindless spammers are eating up ALL the SOCIAL space fast! Fortunately, in this case there was really a profile named Sudhir (Male with photo of female), no problem.  http://www.spam-network.com/sud...

The question came in my mind leading to this post. How could I spend my time so uselessly when everyone suggests to spend time wisely? Internet promotion is obsessive. LJP said few days ago. And I admit. I started early this afternoon, revamping all social profiles - facebook, myspace, squidoo, twitter etc. etc. Oh! BTW, ning is going to be fully paid from July, 2010. Those looking for freebies, may better focus on a different network. Ning is obviously rocking for different features. But I feel more comfort with facebook fan page. Back to the question - what I really did during the past few hours? Networking. Purely networking. Inviting new friends, commenting on relevant squidoo lenses, and what not. My social networking log (it is a simple spreadsheet I have created to streamline my social behavior! Stupidity? Don't know! Don't care!) reads: 1. Spent one hour to create a new blog on BigAdda. Frankly, I don't like their sloppy interface. There is no friend o...

Your facebook page might just not driving enough traffic.  So, try it. - Participate and make it routine  - Ask questions  - Host events on your page  - Highlight contributions from others  - Go beyond just text  - Integrate your other online presences  - Take it easy with apps, boxes, etc.  - Run offline events, if you can Looks great. This is what I read in Chris Crum's article in  WebProNews Newsletter. Does your Facebook Page drive traffic to your site in WebProNewsletter? I tried to add the link but it was unfortunately broken. Sorry. Try it & let me know if it works. Enjoy. Here's my facebook page.

I have rarely seen as unique and innovative social networking site as twitter - simply amazing! It works great even when you are outdoor, i.e., away from your PC. Interesting part of it is that you do not need to write big blogs, or add great photos/videos to get attention . You simply share what you see/think/read/do at any moment. Whenever you find something interesting , whether offline/online - update it! You can stay connected with the community using your keep-me-alive mobile handset via SMS! If you want to explore more, take a look at the 3D animated public timeline graphics representation! Mind-whirling! Yah! I mean it! When I started, I just could not made up my mind where to go, or how to proceed? But now I know there is nothing as simple as twittering to get attention. Keep an eye on your followers (persons who care to listen to your updates!) - also do not neglect the inputs from the person whom you are following ( You must be a good listener- that's the basi...

Facebook is a great platform to sell your stuff. It is a social utility that connects you with the people around you. Obviously, making friendship and community participation is very important to see success here! Just a quote from their terms: You understand that except for advertising programs offered by us on the Site (e.g., Facebook Flyers, Facebook Marketplace), the Service and the Site are available for your personal, non-commercial use only. Thus you can list your offers - like for sale, or item wanted, jobs, career etc. in MarketPlace/Flyers ! http://www.facebook.com

Have you heard of mySpace before? If not, or if you have not created a free account in mySpace, you must be missing a great opportunity of website promotion. MySpace terms and conditions suggest that you need to take prior approval to promote yourself. But neither the Internet Marketer nor you should miss this opportunity to present yourself before a gradually expanding community. Although you are not allowed to promote yourself in open daylight but you can well manage self-promotion using Bulletin/Messages/Classifieds/Comments/Photos/Videos/Blogs or many other features available there. However, you need to do it in disguise! Otherwise, you might risk your account getting banned. Above all do not forget the motive of each social networking website. It is there to allow you to interact with like minded people, so do not neglect the social aspect of such sites. Here also use most of your time in social networking and a fraction of time in self -promotion. You will get good response. N...

Using ORKUT Connect with friends and family using scraps and instant messaging Discover new people through friends of friends and communities Share your videos, pictures, and passions all in one place Web Promotion: For any social networking sites to be used effectively, you need to spend certain amount of time daily to listen to what your friends have to say, or making new friendship! Blatant outright promotion is quite likely to be rejected! Just pay more attention in developing a network of good friends, and then start promotion! It takes time but very much effective. For ORKUT there are so many communities where you can promote any type of websites! Needless to say that there are fair amount of readers for each community. However, you need to spend sometime for writing a catchy 'title' because members do not like to read the body of a post if the title is not attractive. Also there are quite a few communities where you can send message to its members. My Recommendation ...

Flixya is a place to share videos, photos and blogs. Create your account and instantly start earning money. 100% revenue is yours. This is how they have made their initial promotion. They allow you to share your Adsense Publisher ID so that you can make some money from Adsense. However, this social networking site can be used for website promotion bit tactfully. Though officially you are not entitled to promote your website or blog, but you can do so nicely by posting blog entries relevant to your website and adding a text link near the bottom of that post to avoid the risk of getting banned. You can obviously tell something about your website in 'About me' section as well as in the footer part of your blog entries. Since search engines love this website very much so your entries, if rich in content, may find top place in search engine result. Your message is delivered to thousands of audience who have subscribed to Google news alerts, and your brand thus will have more expo...
