There is a new free application that helps you succed in IM. If you are using twitter, you know it’s a very effective communication tool that put you in contact with people arund the world, especially in your areas of interest. Twitter is a success, and twitter-ers enjoy using the platform, so many thousands of new users join everyday.

The best way to spread your message is having many followers, that read your tweets instantly as you deliver them, and they interact with you as they reply to your messages and tweets.

Well, Gary McCaffrey (London) is a seasoned marketer that launched many successful products. He is now releasing a new system that allows you to get many, many new followers, with just a simple tweet. The system is free as I said, and it’s called Tweetergetter.

The system is viral, so as you promote your twitter page, your followers will promote it also. Tweetergetter is designed to never stop adding followers to your page.  And you don’t have to follow thousands of people to obtain that followers. That’s the magic of viral systems: they grow exponentially and you just have to post a single tweet.

Of course, you can promote Tweetergetter in your blog or tou your email lists for faster results, but it’s not essntial. So, why don’t you give Tweetergetter a try and start getting new legitimate twitter followers with the press of a button, and then letting the system work on autopilot? I think there are no excuses…

The Web 2.0 concept is based in human contact and voting. Well, this is my way to describing it, maybe not 100% accurate, but they’re my own words and I defend them. Yes, I’m simplist, and I know Web 2.0 is a gigantic phenomena to be followed to the emerging Web 3.0 and so on, that will maybe integrate video with your bathroom and applepie with your blackberry. And yes, it’s about integration and friendship, and yes…

Google is the biggest Search Engine, an it’s the one of choice of the biggest part of Internet users. The same ones that use social bookmarking and microblogging, and all the Web 2.0 applications. With this in mind is that we’re going to look at some of the most important communities that we need to join in order to drive traffic directly and indirectly (thanks to Google’s and the other Search Engines’s organic results).

All the Web 2.0s have RSS feeds integratd into their systems. These are valuable tools to generate visits to your sites, if you get readers to suscribe. 

This being said, I’m going to take it easy, and start writng by baby steps, one Web 2.0 community at a time, not to be boring and because I’m lazy ;-). 

Del.icio.us (owned by Yahoo!) is the leader bookmarking website to date. Users bookmark the sites they like most, and they look at another users bookmarks for fresh content, to get new knowledge or just for fun. The idea is to share your bookmarks, and get another people’s bookmarks in return. So it’s easy to see what’s hot in Delicious, and in Internet, just going to the most popoular tags.

Delicious ranks very well in organic results, even for tags and users profiles. This is highly relevant to drive even more traffic from your profile to your bookmarks and to your tags or keywords. This is to say: pay attention to your keywords, choose the correct tags (add as many as you can), as they can drive aditional traffic and generate more leads to your campaigns, as they rank independently from your profile and bookmarks.      

Let’s take a look at a couple of bookmarks I’ve made.

The first capture is from my own bookmarked sites. The geen text been added by me in a picture editor, to show the title, notes and tags locations.

The second one, shows results from a query I did for the keyword “chrome”. As I’ve previously bookmarked the Google Chrome download website, 1 result appears in my bookmarks. Pay attention to the “1433″ blue box: that’s the number of users that have bookmarked that internet address, i.e. 1432 plus me :-) 

Then, a capture showing my “traffic” tag, with a side list of the realted tags, note that I have 4 bookmarks with the traffic tag.

Well, this is a basic introduction to Del.icio.us. There is a lot of information about this great bookmarking resource, but let’s keep it for another post. Patience, and… Web 2.0, keys to social success and traffic avalances.
