Using WEB 2.0 To Drive Internet Traffic – Three Top Tips
Defining WEB 2.0 as a series of building blocks is not really possible. However, it is possible to point to some common factors that exist across most of the new webs “virtual holdings”.
Here are three key features to WEB 2.0. These are perhaps the most important for someone looking to market their own ideas on the web. These methods are ones that you, as an end user, can utilize to get your message across more effectively.
1 – Tagging and Tags. Tags are like the keywords of a particular message, video, article or application. They are a “short cut” to understanding what it is about. As an example, if you produce a video about rock climbing you might choose “rock climbing”, “mountaineering” and “ascent” as three of your tags. This gives both the end user, and the engines on the web that categorize your video an idea of how and where to file it, and allow people to find it when searching under appropriate keywords.
2 – Collaboration. Getting together either on a simple topic, or working as a team solving a problem. Collaboration is a key factor of the internet now. Increased bandwidth and more stable connections have helped, but the software applications that allow for one website to have many contributors organised in a cohesive structure working towards the same goal is now very widespread. Even to the extent of “user generated content” for your own micro sites.
3 – Content syndication. Taking a message and using re-publishing it (with all the original owners links and credits in tact). Content management platforms like WordPress come with one press syndication buttons.
With syndication the original author benefits. The views he or she expresses (along with links back to his or her sites or products) is spread around the web with no further effort required. As someone looking to syndicate others work, you gain good quality content for your own site along, and the extra internet traffic that will bring you.
The new features and accessibility offered by WEB 2.0 has massively increased the number of people actively participating on the internet. Finding hotspots where these discussions are taking place between massive numbers of people is now relatively easy.
The hard task is convincing them that your own message is one they should spend their time listening to.
