$100 Independence Day Special


Every time we run a special, so many people beg for an extra
day, an extra week even.  Well, I thought...

July 1 is Canada's Independence Day.

July 4 is USA's Independence Day.

Why not make July 6 "SBI! Independence Day"?

SBI! is all about personal and financial Independence.  So
we're holding the Summer Sandals Special over to the stroke
of midnight, July 6, now officially "SBI! Independence Day"!

With these kinds of UNmatched "Top 1%" results....

http://results.sitesell.com/

And with this kind of UNparalleled proof of success...

Search Traffic Vs. Social Traffic


I used to say... 

"People use the Web for one thing... they search for
information.  So build a site that delivers what they
want... valuable info."

Now I say...

"People use the Web for two things... they search for
information and they play/socialize.  Social surfers are not
searching for your information, so they are not worth much
in the eyes of advertisers/Google."

---SIDEBAR---
There may be certain exceptions, like
niche-twittering.  But your big reason for
niche-twittering is to develop a following
and then get them to contribute Content 2.0
articles. If you can achieve that, you're
leveraging your time.

You can learn more about Content 2.0 here...

http://tools.sitesell.com/index.html
---SIDEBAR---


But the big bottom line?...

Stumpleupon traffic is not worth a lot of chasing time. 
These stumble off to the next site.  And that's true for
most social sites.  There may be certain business/
monetization models where specific use of social media in
certain ways fits.  So I'm not saying it's all useless.

However, the classic high-value visitor is your search
visitor.  And remains so.

Yes, Google tracks the buzz about your site at the major
social sites, all part of the "off-page" criteria that they
track to measure your overall site reputation.  That's why,
like link-building itself, SBI!'s Socialize It! is not so much
about any direct traffic it might bring you, it's about
increasing your site's reputation.

Quality one-way inbound links are necessary, but it's not
for the traffic they'll bring. (Although, if you get one
from a monster site that loves you, that's great!)  It's
really all about building your site's reputation (and
improving your Search Engine ranking) so that...

You get found at the engines for more and more words.  And
that takes us all the way back to Make Your Links WORK!. 

A free copy is available  at the Value Exchange site...

http://value-exchange.sitesell.com/

Nothing has changed, only that social media are now a
component of how Google measures your site's quality.

Don't chase its traffic.  Let SBI!'s Socialize It! spread the word.

Your site's reputation is the tide that raises the boat of
being found for more and more words, keywords that also are
more and more competitive.

Take-home lesson?  All you really need to know is still what
I "used" to say... "People use the Web for one thing... they
search for information. Build what they want... valuable
info."

Do that, build a good inbound links program and you'll have
the most valuable visitors of all... targeted search
traffic. Free.
