Add some UUU

Here's a little secret about what the web likes best. Unique, useful, updated content.

The most successful blogs and the best stores, are all filled with unique stuff. Stuff worth talking about.

Collections of recommended links. Opinions that are all YOURS. Lists of information that actually make a point. Debates worth engaging in. Hand-built organization that teaches. Copy that's worth reading.

If you stick remarkable stuff on your lens, stuff that's useful to readers who stop by, something that's exclusive to you, and you update it now and then, well, guess what? You've just created something that search engines gobble up with a spoon.

如何利用Web2.0网站建立反向链接

利用web2.0网站做网络营销是当下最热门的话题。EdDale的30DaysChallenge在这方面作了非常成功地探讨和培训。只是以前我对web2.0网站营销不是太重视,所以也没有花太多的时间去学习和实践。
  最近正在测试一个利用Web2.0网站建立反向链接的策略。我觉得这个方法很好,写下来跟大家分享。有兴趣的朋友,看了以下方法,觉得有道理的话,不妨也在自己网站上试一下:
  1、写3篇300多字的短文,包含你所希望瞄准的关键字。确保文章标题包含你所选的关键字。
  2、在squidoo创建一个lens,将其中的一篇文章放到你的squidoolens。你应该在这篇文章中做一个包含你的关键字的方向链接只想你自己的网站。
  3、到twitter开一个账号贴一句简单的话比如:“我在squidoo建立了一个lens,其网址是:WWW……”。这是为了让你的反向链接被搜索蜘蛛尽快抓到。
  4、到hubpages开一个账号,并建立一个hubpage。将你的第二篇文章贴到hubpage上。当然你的文章应该有包含你的关键字的反向链接到你自己的网站。与此同时,将你的SquidooRSSFeed加到你的hubpage。
  5、在twitter加一个新的post,为的是让反向链接被搜索蜘蛛抓取。
  6、在blogger.com上建立一个blog,将你第三篇文章放到这里,同时将你在squidoo和hubepages的RSSFeed加入到你的这个blog。
  7、在twitter加一个新的post,为的是让反向链接被搜索蜘蛛抓取。
  8、建立一个tumblr账号,将你的3个RSSfeed加入到tumblr。Tumblr允许你加入5个pages。
  9、在twitter加一个新的post,为的是让反向链接被搜索蜘蛛抓取。
  10、在FeedBite.com建立一个账号,将前面所有的RSSFeed全部加入到这里。
  11、在twitter加一个新的post,为的是让反向链接被搜索蜘蛛抓取。
  12、在bumpzee开一个账号,在将squidoo、hubpages、blogger和tumblr的RSSFeed加入到这里。
  13、到ping.in,ping所有你刚刚建立的网页,包括twitter。
  如果你有兴趣,不妨再计算一下,完成这个试验,看看你总共得到了几个带有你所指定的反向链接。

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 重要名词解释 Blog:Blog是个人或群体以时间顺序所作的一种记录,且不断更新。Blog之间的交流主要是通过反向引用(TrackBack )和留言/ 评论(Comment )的方式来进行的。Blog的作者(Blogger ),既是这个Blog的创作人,也是其档案管理人。

TrackBack :是一种Blog应用工具,它可以让Blogger 知道有哪些人看到自己的文章后撰写了与之有关的内容。这种功能实现了网站之间的互相通告;因此它也可以看作一种提醒功能。

RSS:是一种用于共享新闻和其他Web 内容的数据交换规范。读者可以通过RSS 订阅一个Blog,确知该Blog最近的更新。

Wiki:1995年,沃德。坎宁安(Ward Cunningham )为了方便模式社群的交流创建了全世界第一个w i k i 系统——WikiWikiWeb (c2.com/cgi/wiki),并用它建立了波特兰模式知识库,在建立过程中,沃德。坎宁安创造了Wiki的概念和名称,并且实现了支持这些概念的服务系统。

Social Bookmark :社会化书签,它可以让你把喜爱的网站随时加入自己的网络书签中;你可以用多个关键词(Tag )而不是分类来标示和整理你的书签,并与其他人共享。

六度分隔理论:(Six Degrees of Separation )。1967年,哈佛大学的心理学教授Stanley Milgram (1933~1984)创立。简单地说:“你和任何一个陌生人之间所间隔的人不会超过六个,也就是说,最多通过六个人你就能够认识任何一个陌生人。”六度分隔理论的数学解释是:如果每个人平均认识260 人,其六度就是2606=1188137600000.消除一些节点重复,那也几乎覆盖了整个地球人口若干多倍。 (名词解释的主要内容来自Wiki网络大百科全书) 小资料

SNS 以及六度分隔理论 Social Networking Service (简称SNS ,社会化网络软件)是Web 2.0 体系下的一个技术应用架构。SNS 基于六度分隔理论运作,这个理论的通俗解释是:“在人脉网络中,要结识任何一位陌生的朋友,中间最多只要通过六个朋友就可以达到目的。” 放在Web 2.0 的背景下,每个用户都拥有自己的Blog、自己维护的Wiki、社会化书签或者Podcast.

用户通过Tag 、RSS 或者IM、邮件等方式连接到一起,“按照六度分隔理论,每个个体的社交圈都不断放大,最后成为一个大型网络,这就是社会化网络(SNS )。”

Google推出1GB 免费信箱也是一个SNS 应用,通过网友之间的互相邀请,Gmail 在很短的时间内就获得了巨大的用户群。 SNS 还处于起步阶段,对于它的商业价值和未来的发展方向,现在也没有一个统一的认识。 web 2.0的特点之一即是内容个性化,主要是通过“用户也是内容生产者”这条规则来实现的。

Web2.0是以 Flickr、Craigslist、Linkedin、Tribes、Ryze、 Friendster、Del.icio.us、43Things.com等网站为代表,以Blog、TAG、SNS、RSS、wiki等应用为核心,依据六度分隔、xml、ajax等新理论和技术实现的互联网新一代模式。

Backorders

Here are the things that I've learned about order problems during my time in this business:

Internet customers are for the most part "instant gratification" junkies. They want it NOW.

Because of this, backorder, discontinued item and other product problem situations must be handled immediately. Don't wait even a day. Call the customer, or email them. (A call is usually appreciated more than an email, but you have to watch your phone bill).

If you think a product might be questionable as far as stock status with your Drop Shipper, or if you stock them yourself but are running out, check with your Supplier before charging the customer's card. You get a feel for which items are stocked less than others after a while. You can always refund the charge, but it's better if you can tell them you have not charged them yet.Always offer to cancel. Chances are they won't, because then they have to go search for the product again and hope they don't run into the same problem somewhere else, but the offer to cancel must be there. It tells them that you are not desperate for the sale, and gives you the advantage in the conversation.

Be nice. Even if you are grinding your teeth. You can't afford to lose your grip. You never know when one episode of lost temper will come back to bite you.Follow up during the problem period. Send at least one email saying that you are monitoring the situation, and are sorry for the delay. That is a great tactic for defusing an impatient person; at least they know you are thinking about them.

If there is an additional delay, offer to cancel again. They may actually take you up on it if it's a long delay, but you don't lose anything if the Supplier has not yet shipped.When you know that the product has shipped, inform the customer. They appreciate that, and again, realize that you are at least thinking about them.

Most people understand order problems, and will give you no trouble. In fact, most are very appreciative if you contact them right away. Sometimes, you get the problem customers. Deal with them politely, and never lose your temper. Be the bigger person.

I always check my return emails to these people twice. There are times when I've let some temper slip in to my writing, and I'm sure to remove it before clicking the send button. It only ends up helping you in the long run!
