<p>The object of <strong>Social Marketing</strong> is to develop a large number of these&nbsp;mini sites, marketing your information and products that will be of value to others&nbsp;for their&nbsp;particular business or service.&nbsp; As I said this creates a greater presence on the internet, positioning yourself as an expert in your field of expertise.</p>
<p>Posting your content to <a href="http://www.socialmarker.com/" target="_blank">social bookmarking sites</a>, such as digg, furl, delicious, stumbleupon, etc, is a marketing strategy to get your content&nbsp;spreading into many more areas on the internet.&nbsp; Once again, more exposure, more traffic.</p>
<p>Creating specific links in your articles&nbsp;that&nbsp;send&nbsp;information seekers to your other sites generates more&nbsp;traffic to all of&nbsp;your content.&nbsp;&nbsp;The search engines&nbsp;become aware of&nbsp;the extra traffic&nbsp;and increase your&nbsp;ranking position on the web. Ranking higher on the search engines will get you on the front pages of places like google and yahoo etc and give you greater exposure again.&nbsp; This is a definate advantage, as people searching for information on your topic of expertise, are more likely to&nbsp;be confronted with <em>your</em> information&nbsp;first.</p>
