Using Stumble Upon And Free Stumble Upon Exchange

If you haven't used Stumble Upon or Stumble upon Exchange you need to read this. Stumble Upon is the hottest social bookmarking site on the web. Stumble users have reported getting 1000's of visits to there web sites and articles within 24 hours of submitting a site. As you can see at the bottom of these pages there are many bookmarking options. Stumble is just one of them, but it's the hottest now.
With the method I'm going to show you can increase the amount of Stumbles you can get simply by Stumbling other Stumble upon users.
First you want to sign up for Stumble if you already haven't. Download the StumbleUpon Toolbar and your ready. Then go to Stumble Exchange and sign up.
Once you have signed up you will have 5 points. This will allow you to add your first site for others to Stumble. Once you have added your first site you then start to Stumble other users sites and earn points. When you Stumble someones site a new window will open. Click the thumbs up icon on the Stumble Toolbar then close the window. When you have done that you then claim your points by sending a quick message to the site owner informing them you Stumbled there site. They will then verify it and you get you point. The more points you have the more your site is presented to others to Stumble. Stumble Exchange works on the premise of activity. The more active you are, the more Stumbles you receive. A good trick is to Stumble users that are online at the time. There is a option to just Stumble users on the site at the time.
Now go get some Stumles
UPDATE: I wrote these instruction simply by doing Stumble Exchange for myself. The instruction are based on what I did to get started. Thats it. They are not re-writen from someone else.

SEOBOOK Go's Community Based More Information Abounds

As a user of the SEObook I was taken back at first by this Email I received from Aron Wall, Creator of the SEOBook.
"Over the course of the past couple years it became obvious to me that the perceived value of ebooks was dropping, the field of SEO was getting more complex, and many people who purchased my book wanted to be able to interact with me and ask me many questions. This caused me to need to change the SEO Book business model away from selling a downloadable ebook, and toward selling a web based information product backed by a community forum that helped turn it into a service more than a product."
This turns out to be great breaking news. The SEOBook must be one of the most downloaded EBooks ever. It is so packed full of information that one can get overwhelmed fast. Information overload.
Now that Aron Wall has decided to make his SEOBook community based he is falling into line with the biggest influence on the Internet now. Social and community based websites. Now Web Masters will be able to squeeze every last bit of information from Aron SEO techniques as well as many new ideas and techniques from users. Users helping users. It use to be web masters kept all there techniques close to the vest, but times have changed. I plan on re-evaluating how I use SEOBooks information over the next several days and be reporting back.
A good example of Web Masters sharing is Mark Hanson's Build A Niche Store Empire Series. Mark has not be one of the smartest people on the Internet. He has been involved with Build a Niche Store software for some time now and has created this series to help 1st time beginner web masters to advanced users.
Mark was the first person on the Internet to show me how to do anything. I couldn't even FTP a file when I meet him. Mark has invited me to be a guest blogger on his newest project. This has brought full circle from learning to teaching, but as we all know the learning process never ends.
This week has been full of new SEO tools Wordze free database and Free Build a Niche Store Empire Series

Get quality links through website directory submission!

Search engine optimization is getting more and more difficult by the day. The
search engines are evolving at an incredible speed, making it harder for us
SEOs to rank our websites highly.

With that said, there are a few tried and true principles that we need to do
when optimizing our website. The first of which, and the one that I always tell
people to concentrate on is getting quality, 1 way links pointing to your website.

The more quality links you can get pointing to your website, the higher you
will rank, period.

While there are many black hat tricks and tactics that you can do for short
term gain, I would suggest NOT spending your time on those things. I would focus
my entire effort on figuring out how to get other websites to link to yours
without you linking back to them. That is the biggest key to ranking well in
Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Doing this is easier said that done. One of the easiest known ways to get quality,
one way links is by finding website directories and then submitting your website
to them. This can be a very tedious process, but always a very rewarding process
at the same time.

You can either submit your website to these directories manually, pay someone
to do it for you, OR you can use one of the website directory submission programs
out there. The best program for the money that we've found is a program called
"Directory Submitter" created my Internet marketing expert, Brad Callen.

This program allows you to submit your website to over 1600 website directories
and can save you an incredible amount of time in doing so. You simply enter
your website details into the software once, and then select the directory you
would like to submit to. The software will then, automatically fill in all of
the submission criteria for each directory and allow you to quickly submit your
site.

Not only does this save you time in submitting your site, but it saves you
an incredible amount of time in just finding the free directories online. I
highly suggest grabbing a directory submission program if you decide to take
advantage of one of the easiest ways to get quality, 1 way links to your website.

Have a great day
