I really don’t understand why Facebook has this feature… Let me paint you a picture real quick.

So last night I am going through NeverBlueAds looking for some possible promos that would work well on Facebook. NeverBlueAds has some awesome offers so it did not take long. Within 20 minuets I had my campaign set up on Facebook with 10 ads running. About three hours later the ads are approved and running. I already had 56 clicks and after checking NBA I noticed that 21 of them had converted at $3.50. Not bad!

About an hour later I was up $200 bucks and then I started to noticed my clicks die down. A quick check of the ad board brought up countless ads for the exact same promo. Within 2 1/2 hours of being approved I got swiped.

I think if Facebook wants to keep people happy (and spending their money there) they need to get rid of this retarded ad board… Whats the use of spending $500 a day in clicks with 1,000,000 ads for the same thing running against you?

When used correctly, Stumbleupon can be a great weapon in your arsenal for Social Media Marketing. Not only can it bring substansial amounts of traffic over a period of time, it converts great as well. To really maximize your Stumbling success, you have to optimize what your users are seeing once they hit that Stumble button. Keep in mind that users will click Stumble and decide in just 2-3 seconds weather or not they will stay or Stumble on to another site. Using four simple methods of optimization, you can turn your site into a Stumble machine.

Is Your Site Aesthetically Pleasing?
Our first step boils down to design. The first thing your users are going to see is the sites design and layout. The web is becoming ever more “pretty” and users are known to skip right past anything that is not appealing to them. Keep in mind accessibility, readability, and visual pleasure. Balance these three pillars and you can’t go wrong.

Tales Of Title Woes.
Your headlines and titles are also going to be one of the first things that pop out to a user (or at least they should be.) Your headline does not always have to be linkbait. Think it over and make sure it really represents your content before publishing.

Above The Fold.
It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that if a user does not see any content, they are not going to stick around. They’re pointer is right on that Stumble! button to continue on. Keep the content in view above the fold, don’t make people look to find it. They are going to quickly decide weather or not they want to invest time on your site. If you can clearly decipher content without having to scroll down your in good shape

Fish With Dynamite!
If you want a sure fire thumbs up, give the user something stimulating before the body content. Ask something thought provoking or make a statement that is sure to spark something in their minds. Master making this opening content and I can guarantee you that you will increase Stumbleupon traffic 10 fold.

It’s always been said that “Content is king,” if your page sucks and the articles are garbage you cant expect people to give it a good reaction. Take your time and make something people will want to invest their time in and you will see things change for the better.

I decided it would be a good idea to take all of the best posts and information I have read online lately and put them in one list. Keep in mind that while a lot of this information will give you great insight on making money and leveraging social media, SMM and affiliate marketing is not for everyone. Those who are creative, driven, and LIVE outside the box are those who make the buku bucks.

And now for the list:

Facebook and Landing Pages?

In my experiances I have found that Facebook can be highly profitable if you are willing to put the time in. It will not take long before 100 other people are running ads that are for the same thing (even exact copies of your ads lol) so have ideas waiting in the wing.

If you can stay ahead of the game, you can make some big bucks off Facebook.

If you answered Yes, you came to the right place. One of the most underused techniques when it comes to generating traffic from Digg is comments.

Lets say you have a website you want to promote that you cant necessarily submit a bunch of posts from to hit the Digg front page. No problem! Now keep in mind that comments will send you traffic but nowhere near as much as a front page submission would generate.

Now for an example Lets say your promoting…. Netgear routers for whatever reason and your site / splog has all kinds of Netgear router information. Your first step is to pull up Google and construct a simple little query as follows: “[keyword] site:digg.com”. For us this looks like:

netgear routers site:digg.com

Okay, now as you can see from Google’s 238 results there are plenty of places to drop some comments. The next step is going to be finding pages that dont have too many comments on them. I would say a good rule of thumb is stay away from any pages that have the ‘click to see more comments’ bar as most people wont be finding your link. I have dropped links on pages with 30+ comments and still get 300+ hits a day from those pages. Its all about finding pages as close to the top of googles results as possible.

What this will insure is that not only will people browsing Digg see your links, but unsuspecting people who happen to find the Digg page from a search will also be greated with your link. The next step is to write out your comment. Simply dropping a link will not work. Try to intice people or provide them a little info on the site. In our Netgear Routers example you could use something as follows:

“Hey, this router has some major security issues. You can read about them at http://www.yournetgearblog.com and find more secure routers too!”

As you can see this idea is very simple but just requires a bit of enginuity and creativity to work well. I can tell you that if you hit terms that people are doing searches for (more than browsing Digg for) you can actualy get some very nice conversion rates. Another little hint I will let you in on is that to find these search pages keep in mind that you dont have to use pages that made the front page of Digg…

Now that you can exploit Digg comments, get out there and make some cash.
