			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Butterfly Marketing is the Buzz" href="http://www.biz-toolbox.com/blog/viral-marketing/butterfly-marketing-is-the-buzz/" target="_self">Butterfly Marketing is a buzz</a> word coined by Mike Filsaime in 2006 when he launched his Butterfly Marketing project. He was inspired by the butterfly effect which said that even a small flip of a butterfly&#8217;s wings in South America can have an effect on the weather somewhere in Asia. It means a small change somewhere can have a huge effect in other faraway places. Mike then went on further to provide examples about possible changes today if there were small changes happening to our historical events. The results would be a very different world compared to ours today.</p>
<p><span id="more-76"></span>When the butterfly effect concept is applied to internet marketing, it means that a small change in a component of your online marketing might create a big change in the result output that you expect.  By just tweaking correctly a small part of your website, you would be able to gain much higher conversion rate on your online marketing. The difference can be few hundred thousand dollars. The idea is very exciting and interesting.</p>
<p>The concepts covered started with pre-launch phase, launch phase and post-launch phase. There are many details covered in terms of adjustments required to optimize the online marketing to achieve maximum result based on butterfly marketing concepts. There were many examples provided to make understand the ideas much easier.</p>
<p>When Butterfly Marketing was first launched in January 2006, the manuscript, home-study and software cost $1997. On 24th March 2009, the package was given out for free. We only need to pay the shipping and handling of $29 for people in US and Canada or $39 for people in other part of the world. On noon of that day, there were close to 5000 people waited for the VIP access to the re-launch. Imagine what would happen when few thousands people pressed the order button together. The server <strong>crashed</strong>. It did not only happen once, but <strong>twice</strong>. The order site only went back life after a few hours wait. I think the website is the victim of the launch success.</p>
<p>By the time you read this post, I don&#8217;t think the free giveaway is still available. You can check your luck <a title="Butterfly Marketing" href="http://biz-toolbox.butterflymarketing.com/free/" target="_blank">here</a>. If the free offer is gone, you can visit his <a title="Instant Affiliate Website" href="http://biztoolbox.instantaffiliatewebsite.com" target="_blank">Instant Affiliate Website</a> to get the free Butterfly Marketing Manuscript by paying S&amp;H of $7.99 for US and Canada or $11.99 for other countries. I would strongly recommend that you get the manuscript while it is still available free.</p>

<p>This is so much about the Butterfly Marketing. I will discuss more on this topic in my future postings. Enjoy the manuscript and let&#8217;s explore the concepts and techniques together.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just like my previous post, let&#8217;s start this post with a video that explains <a title="Social Bookmarking in Plain English" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x66lV7GOcNU " target="_blank">Social Bookmarking in Plain English by leelefever</a>. The featured <a title="Social Bookmarking" href="http://www.biz-toolbox.com/blog/blogging/getting-popular-with-social-bookmarking/" target="_self">social bookmarking</a> site is del.icio.us. It has an Alexa ranking of 2,855 and can be considered quite popular although not the highest for social bookmarking site.</p>
<p><span id="more-51"></span> <object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/x66lV7GOcNU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x66lV7GOcNU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>In simple term, social bookmarking is bookmarking sharing. Of course, the other benefit is its use of tagging (a form of metadata) to make bookmark search much easier and faster. It is also called social tagging due to the fact that the bookmarks are available to others through the use of tags as well. Another name for social tagging is folksonomy which means sharing or collaboration of tags or index by the people (creators or consumers) not the experts.</p>
<p>It is actually not a new concept. It started as early as 1996 with online bookmarking service that included public and private bookmarks. There were many online bookmark services that emerged later on based on similar concept with various other added features. It was not until 2003 that del.icio.us (now known as Delicious) was started that it pioneered the use of tagging and coined the term social bookmarking.</p>
<p>Social bookmarking is linked to web 2.0 optimization. It is a powerful tool used in promoting a website by getting the community involvement. The concept is powerful as it is a comprehensive way that gets community involved in making the website popular. This is achieved by bookmarking the site with various social bookmarking services and getting backlinks. As a result, the traffic is increased and the search engines will index the site more quickly.</p>
<p>Here is the list of <a title="20 Largest Social Bookmarking Sites" href="http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social-bookmarking " target="_blank">20 Largest Social Bookmarking Sites</a> according to eBizMBA. Heading the list is digg followed by Yahoo! Buzz, Technorati, StumbleUpon and del.icio.us.</p>
<p>There are also tools available that help people submit their site to multiple social bookmarking sites. The convenient tools help bloggers by submitting the site with a simple one-click. The most popular ones are <a title="SocialMarking" href="http://www.socialmarking.com/" target="_blank">SocialMarking</a>, <a title="Socialmatic" href="http://www.socialmatic.com/" target="_blank">Socialmatic</a> and <a title="SocialMarker" href="http://www.socialmarker.com/" target="_blank">SocialMarker</a>.</p>
