Friggin SU!

Sometimes when i start blogging, I really have no idea which direction that the blog will go. It surprises me that a seamingly lack of new material will turn into my best blogs. I have to say that was not true of yesterdays blog. I was below par, so my apologies.

Last night I made an effort to write a couple of topics for today, that and the advent of new adverts means that I am spoilt for choice. Over night we have had 2 seperate dog breeders list several adverts. Both breed blue eyed husky dogs. One I think is in wales (husky puppies in wales) and the other in Essex (husky puppies in essex), so totally unconnected. The breeders in Wales also breed English Bull Dogs.

My main reason for blogging is Stumble Upon. It is by far my favourite method of social media. Apart from attracting a great audience, its very little effort. The reason for this is you can't submit the same page to SU twice under the same login. . I am friggin SU. How? By Bleet box! Obviously I could set up various SU accounts, but that rather defeats the time issue.

After I have submitted my page by Stumble, I Bleet the page under the guise of Bleet It. I Stumble the bleet page which recognises the page as a submission under a seperate username, hence I double my submission. Clever & quick.

I have joined Tweet adder as a demo, but think that I may have to buy a licensed version. The demo is amazing and I think that this will prove to be a very canny & time saving investment, more on this tomorrow.

I have yet to Buzz but hope to explore this later!

YapYapOK - a new class of classified

PS My latest catchphrase is "YapYapOK - where we drive traffic to your ad"

It will ultimately lead to a YapYapOK - yapping your ad, or something like, needs more thought maybe!

On a personal note we had an offer on a house we are selling. The asking price was for £237 000, this has been lowered and we have been told that this is a bargain. It has 3 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, car parking for 2 cars, immaculate inside with panoramic sea views, semi detached in a cul de sac garden and a shared pool in a village location. Apparently they fell in love with it! The offer was for £180 000, they need a mortgage and have not even got one arranged yet!

The big fat no required only a milisecond of thought!

Update on rankings via social media

YapYapOK Alexa Ranking 2 219 916.

Since my last report we dropped a few thousand but we have now climbed back up again, oh to go below the elusive 2 million! Our new YapYapOK You tube video has had 134 views & they are not even friends and family.

We have had several new ads on the YapYapOK classified site which is fantastic. Soon we will start our email marketing campaign. We have a couple more things to implement then we can really press on.

One of the adverts yesterday was for a second hand book called The Time Travellers Wife, a best seller by Audrey Niffenegger ( spelling. I recently reviewed this book on the YapYapOK forum & agree with the seller. It is one of my favourite books ever. The seller has it priced at £3 which I think is a real bargain. I forget how much I paid for mine but it is now in the safe hands of my mum. We share our books!

Another advert is for a Water Home on Palm Jebel Ali in Dubai, the pictures are artist impressions as it is off plan but if the reality is 1/10th of the pictures then it will still have an enormous wow factor. The promotional video which has been taken from YouTube quite literally takes your breath away.

The buzz word is BUZZ. Google has entered the domain of Social networking, so I have another item on my to do list. I fear that I will be another lone bod in a crowded, albeit virtual room. You see the problem is I blog and create links via all the social networking channels to create as many inward links pointing to YapYapOK, most of them are unread and are probably of little value. Some of them are immediately rewarding such as Twitter which I measure on bit.ly. My analytics show me the next day where my traffic has come form. Oddly Stumble Upon has become a not inconsiderable referrer. I probably spend about 30 minutes a week on this particular networking site and yet it brings in more traffic than all my hours on Twitter put together. My time on SU is limited as any one person can't submit the same page twice. This has been a surprising result but endorses the facts that I cannot afford to dismiss any of the social tools that I use!

My picture choice today was the icon for DIY, it represents multiple tools which is kinda what I'm blogging about. Weak link I know, I'll never get a job on telly!
