You need a free banner? How about a free button for your Website? You can search for free stuff using Google or your favorite search engines but often times it is very brutal. You will find that most sites that show up in search engine results have a few crappy free offerings. They are selling their good stuff for a premium.

It is not fair that you want a few free buttons, backgrounds, or icons and Google dumps a crap load of useless results when you use the word free in search key phrases. There are plenty of sites with good quality free designs but they do not rank high in Google search results.

What do you do? Use Google but restrict your search results to social media sites only.

User submitted contents found in social media sites like Digg, RedDot, etc. are some of the best contents from all around the Web. These social media sites let users rank contents based on the quality.

You get the double bonus. Not only thousands of users have scouted the Web to find the best freebies but also they have ranked those submissions based on their merits. You are able to leverage the crowd wisdom for free to get the free stuff. How sweet it is.

May be the results are crappy but Google is a very powerful search engine. To get the good stuff from the social media sites, instruct Google to return results from contents published in those sites.

Let’s say you are looking for some icons. In Google search box type site:Digg.com “free icons” and hit enter. Google will return all results for “free icons” from Digg, a social media site.

The above technique may not land you directly on the source because many blog authors compile links to high quality free stuff from the Web and then publish the list on these social media sites. Though you don’t go to the source directly but you get the right direction.

Here is a list of popular social media and blog sites that you can use using the site: operator in Google search.

del.icio.us
slashdot.com
RedDot.com
stumbleupon.com
blogmarks.com
technorati.com

If you are trying to sell things on the Internet and you do not have a blog you are putting yourself at a disadvantage. Would you go to play golf without a putter?

Your competition is blogging and they are beating your pants off every day with ease. A part of blogging is submitting your articles to social directories.

Here are 3 reasons social marketing must be a part of your Internet business.

1. Social marketing is a popular way to get information. Directories like Digg and Netscape are quickly becoming the choice of people all over the world as a way to keep up to date on what is going on.

If you are not blogging and submitting to relevant social directories you are missing out on this easy form of traffic.

2. Social marketing is easy to do. Here’s what you need. You should get a WordPress blog and set it up so that you can quickly bookmark the top directories. Then you should post in your blog everyday. If you can talk and type you can blog.

3. Social marketing is an interactive way to develop relationships with your readers. This has become know as Web 2.0 and it is important to the future of your business.

People still like to deal with people. This is an age-old sales trick that sometimes gets lost on the Internet. By making yourself and your blog interactive you become a real person. This will help increase your chances for sales and repeat sales.

4. Search engines love social marketing. You are making their life easy when you blog around keyword rich topics that a person researching can find. When you master the techniques of social marketing you will find you can get on page one of Google and other search engines very quickly.

The reason for this is search engines are spidering Digg, Reddit, Newsvine, and many more non-stop looking for fresh relevant content to put online. This may as well be you as opposed to your competition.

If all of this seems confusing it really shouldn’t be. Read “The Authority Black Book” by Jack Humphrey. It is a free ebook you can get online. In it you will learn everything you ever wanted to know on social marketing and how to use it to increase your business.

Do not wait until tomorrow to get started. Do it today and your Internet business will thank you.
