The question that many people are asking today is should they focus on “regular” seo things for their website, or on the new web 2.0 thingies. I think you should be diverse.

Usually, I think with a brand new domain you actually start off doing some web 2.0 promotion, and then once you have a foundation, you start working on standard SEO things.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization, is the more traditional way of promoting your website, and includes tried and tested techniques such as getting backlinks (links from another website to yours), ensuring your website is optimized correctly (html tags, etc) and other promotions like online classified advertisements, ensuring you have unique content, mostly geeky type stuff.

Web 2.0 promotion on the other hand is the hip, new chick way of driving traffic to your website, as well as ensuring it ranks quickly, and even get’s indexed quickly by Google.

To register a new domain and start getting hits from Google and some of the other search engines can take weeks or even months. but doing methodical simple web 2.0 promotion can have your website found by Google and indexed in no time flat!

Why does a web 2.0 promotion help you with this?

Basically what you’re doing with a web 2.0 promotion is creating some accounts at popular authority sites (websites that Google loves and trusts).

Because these web sites are being shown love by Google, they get priority over other websites. Very similar to membership having privileges that others do not.

Now, all you do is create an account at a few popular web 2.0 websites (say wordpress.com, squidoo.com, scribd.com) and digg.com, and link to your website from there, and bam you’ll be indexed within 24 hours, 98% of the time.

Of course web 2.0 generates traffic on it’s own accord as well as assisting in website rankings (putting up a website on squidoo.com will get you other visitors from squidoo.com users, as well as assisting in search engine rankings).

This is being done daily by many top marketers and still there are tons of others that are not doing this at all. Many marketers with big lists are still only sending traffic to their sites via emailing their lists..

Think of the thrill you will get when you jump past your competition onto page one? It’s possible, and it happens, and it can happy for you as well
