Truly Twisted Marketing

I always say we are all connected.

Each and every person on the planet is connected by family, race or religion but the biggest connection is that we are all human beings – a giant matrix of connectedness spanning lifetimes and groups.

I know, I know…touting my own philosophies…AGAIN…but there is a point I am making here so stick with me for a sec. It does relate to a cool new marketing tool.

Let’s take a walk down a virtual street and chat for a moment.

The links coming into your web site and going out from your web site are the connections that keep your site active and on the radar screen of the search engines. Think of them as the roadways of the internet connecting the cities of web sites. No links means no traffic, no visitors means there are no roadways for people to find you.

Linking (as I hope you all know by now) is an extremely important aspect to any good Search Engine Optimization (SEO) campaign. There are people, for example, at Search Marketing firms that ONLY specialize in linking – how to acquire links, when to pay for links, what the most important links are, writing link code…the list goes on and on. You can read to your heart’s content, here, on the whole philosophy behind linking for SEO purposes.

Ok, so can I get a drum roll please? Here’s the cool tool…

Walk2web – walk, explore, have fun

Right now, at this very minute on walk2web, you can visualize the links (connections) between sites. Doesn’t matter if it’s your site, Great Aunt Myrtle’s…I mean, Crazy Aunt Purl's web site, that guy Bob’s web site over in Montana or the average Joe’s web site. The point is you can see the linking matrix and the hierarchy. It’s pretty cool stuff. You can also view, review, bookmark and vote for your favorite sites. All you have to have is a starting point.

***So, um, if you don't HAVE a specific place to start this is NOT the place for you. If that's the case, go to Google and do a search for something…anything…

If you want to see how it Walk2web works, look here. Follow the directions, they aren’t complicated and see where you end up. Or you can click the “Walk Me” button over in the right column of this web site and you’ll bring up my little blog as a starting point and can meander out through my links.

If you want to put your own site in and build up a network, feel free to add me in and share the link love or give my site a review.

What are you waiting for? Go on. Give it a whirl. See where it takes you.
