New Free Article Marketing Resource - Get Paid to Post Articles, Plus Tons of Backlinks
I just received an email about this resource this morning from the folks over at NicheADay (a pretty dang amazing free resource itself!).
Article marketing, as many internet marketers know, is a fantastic way to increase your traffic, search engine rankings, and page rank. This new resource, ArticleSense, seems like a great way to get tons of backlinks across many different IPs - I say “seems” only because I haven’t actually had time to test and track it yet. As usual, I would never recommend a paid product to my readership that I haven’t given a thorough testing on my own, but with free products there’s no risk, so I want to give my readers the heads up ASAP.
Basically, the way that it works is that when you submit an article, an original version is posted at the main website and excerpts are posted across a directory of different sites, with links pointing back to the main site. This helps to promote the main article. In addition, your author’s bio box also gets posted across 1/3 of those sites, so you get direct backlinks there.
Another cool little bell and whistle is that you can include Google Video or YouTube code, and it will stay with the article excerpts across the directory.
If you’re into article marketing to promote your websites (and if you’re not…my GOD man, what are you waiting for?), give ArticleSense a test drive today.
I will be! ![]()

Landing Page Quiz Maker - Another Great Free Tool!
This is a really cool tool - rather than a static landing page, it allows you to create a fun quiz that is applicable to your niche. You define the questions and you define the analysis.
What makes it a landing page (or a squeeze page, if you will…) is that, after filling out their answers to the quiz, your prospect needs to enter their name and email address to have the results emailed to them. However, we know that the further invested a person is into a process the more likely they are to go farther (incrementally increasing upsells, anyone???).
I haven’t gotten a chance to try it out yet, I only downloaded it today. And while I wouldn’t recommend a product that costs money to you without trying it and loving it myself, I wanted to get the news out to you about this free tool as quickly as possible…even if that means I haven’t implemented it myself yet!
Go here - FREE BUSINESS QUIZ - to take the initial “health of your business” quiz (quite interesting in and of itself, I might add!), and then complete the referral process to download the software, which is free while it’s in Beta.
Enjoy!

New Myspace Toy :)
The latest widget that Myspace has added to the user backend is a fun little thing called “Status and Mood.”
It allows a user to choose from a drop-down menu of pre-filled in “Status” text or fill in their own. You then get to choose a “Mood” and accompanying Smilie.
It populates just above your Mailbox Notifications, as you can see in this screenshot of my admin panel, so it will be getting maximum exposure!

Here’s where it really gets interesting, though…and useful for us marketers! See that text that says, “View my Friends Status Updates”?
Here’s what you see when you click that:

It’s a list, complete with profile icons, of all your Status Updates of all of your friends. This is a great way to remind people that you are on their friends lists! Particularly now that bulletins are largely ignored by most users, this has the potential to be a REALLY useful tool.
Another benefit is that because you can’t put a link or a long message that would be conducive to spamming, these will likely be more genuinely used by true members of the site who are interested in keeping up with their friends list, therefore much more likely to be taken seriously by users.
This doesn’t, however, mean that you can’t use it to build buzz or generate traffic back to your page from your friends list. Myspace populates the “{Your Username} is” part and you fill in the rest.
So how about messages like: Melanie is…
- excited about her latest blog post!
- missing her friends…leave me a comment, guys!
- stoked because she just put a new video on her page!
The possibilities abound! I love this tool because it’s so “Networking Friendly” and so “Spamming UN-friendly.” Myspace has HUGE profit potential when you use it for what it’s intended for - to network - and this is a great tool.
Lastly, the myspace crowd is fickle and likely will be bored with this in a couple of months…if I were you, I’d jump on this widget while it’s the hot new thing!
