Inspiration From An Unusual Idea And Thoughts On Improving RSS Conversions Through Social Networks
December 31st, 2007 by Mack
Today while browsing Entrecard and clicking on a few links, I noticed Sam Freedom’s profile link referenced to a search on his site about all his “Entrecard Post“. At first it appeared to me as an odd thing to do, but then I realized it might create great conversions for either RSS or PPC advertising. Let’s expand the concept to other social networks like Stumbleupon or Digg. If you have ever blogged about a particular network, you could link your social profile to a relative search on your blog. The idea here is that it will immediately spark the interest of those involved in that network and they might subscribe to your site. Even if they don’t, they find related content to something you know they are interested in. As far as PPC (Pay Per Click), you can use that tactic to make sure your users are landing on a page that is most desired. A usual blog search reveals all the entries you have related to a topic based on the searcher’s keywords. You could use it to gain exposure on any topic you are tying to dominate. It is a great idea and I hope it is useful in the future.

Congratulations, it is very useful. I applaud your awareness. For what it’s worth, it is barely the tip of the iceberg regarding what “we” do over here but, obviously, I can’t tell everything. I had planned, and still do, to put that little tip you just blogged into a traffic report of little suggestions most people don’t know about.
I’ll share 2 concepts with you that not only have never failed me but are the kinds of things that everyone “knows” but few “understand” - the first is that small things gingerly placed here and there can, ultimately, blossom into big results; and, second, that combining them in different formats through different channels can have a synergy with exponentially better results.
Specifics to follow.
Again, congratulations, I don’t want to assume anything but I do enjoy imagining that very special moment when the “oh, wow, cool!” aha moment was dawning.
Best regards, Lobo,
Sam
ps. do you think I’d use the Entrecard category again when your link already points to it? No, this time, it’s Twitter.

I totally agree, the small changes and/or networks can be used to get us through those rough days. I think you have done an excellent job of using this forgotten tactic for such.

Oh I like what you have done with the link, you sly devil. I have yet to get involved with Twitter. How do you like it so far?

Twitter is invaluable. It’s appealing to me for several reasons but one strong one is that the majority of IM gurus have not caught on yet. They are not interested in “the conversation” but rather in trying to just tell people what to think.
I think its very powerful that I can post a blog and then tweet it for instant traffic because Twitterers, even though they have presences in so many other venues, see Twitter differently and so respond differently.
Rather than going to an email box to get info… and from gosh knows who… they are being SERVED their Tweets by people they’ve chosen to follow. It’s an instant hit of blog traffic for any article you write or anything you want people to see… very powerful indeed.
Read my article on how to get followers fast and you’ll be up to speed in no time.
Nice to meet you, Mack,
Sam
