Re: 4 Surefire Tactics To Get Your Site Overloaded With Traffic

biznickman — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:55:06 -0000

Erich,

Exactly. I've played the traffic game and it is not only addictive but exhilarating when you beat your records. The only problem is when you try to start making money off of that ;)

Please let me know how the new strategy pays off! I truly believe in the longer route toward building a valuable following. It's hard work but it's bound to pay off.

Best,
Nick

Hi Jason,

You are definitely right. There are a number of strategies which combine lots of content and are actually informative. Scaling that business model is very difficult however. If you are looking to build a media business then it's great strategy.

Best,
Nick

Wow ... we have fights breaking out in the comments ... this is awesome!

Ari, couldn't you just thank the people rather than retweet the fact that they said it? I feel like there's a big difference between both models.

Scoble,

I'm always up for poking sticks in eyes of citics. But as with you ... I try to avoid it especially because sarcastic tweets don't come across to well (other people don't understand that I'm really trying to bug a few people).

Re: The Social Capitalist’s Manifesto

So don't think of social as "socialist" ... it's social in the sense of socializing with others. Socializers and capitalists fit well with one another :) Combine the two and you have a social capitalist!

Totally agree Jesse ... these aren't really applications, just press releases.

Re: How To Become An Overnight Expert In 3 Years

@Adam, I think the title was more of a figure of speech but 3 years makes sense. Didn't Gladwell state 10 years was how long it takes to become a master at something though? I don't remember the number in that book but I recall it being a fairly long time.

Thanks Mari for the kind words. I think you definitely have a great perspective on things and you've been focusing on relationship marketing for much longer than I have. Thanks again!

Hey Ari,

That's a very good question. I previously thought that developers would build these filters but so far I've only seen beginning attempts. I guess a great way to look at it is that there are amazing opportunities ahead for developers to quickly improve upon the current discovery models.

Re: Why You Need To Shut Up And Start Listening

biznickman — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:27:46 -0000

@John, I'm not sure what you mean by your question ... Obviously you should still produce content, but a larger part of online communication is listening to what's going on, not just speaking.

Re: How A Single Email Killed A PR Firm

biznickman — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 18:40:38 -0000

Steve,

Here job is to reach out to us and so far all of her press releases haven't come off to well. I tend to be a polite individual and rarely discuss when someone slips up but this turned into a disaster and all she need to do was to delete the list from running at all and start a new one.

It took 8 hours to figure it out. She still hasn't sent a follow-up email to anybody to explain what happened and engage them directly. She also apologizes in the comments here yet doesn't understand what technically went wrong when sending emails is practically her job.

I honestly don't want to be rude but she just made one mistake after another and IT'S HER JOB to know these things. I've seen mistakes like this made before but typically it was squashed in no time at all.

Best,
Nick

Hey Jesse,

One thing you may want to clarify about the following statement: "For instance, if you just want to hide a person's Delicious bookmarks or Google Reader shares" is that if you block an application it blocks it for all friends, not just that user.

Re: Gary Vaynerchuk - All my decisions are/were Wrong So many people...

biznickman — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 19:13:46 -0000

You speak the truth Gary. There are always ways to make things bigger and better but eventually you need to just get things done. While I wouldn't be satisfied with underachieving ... making mistakes is just part of the game!

My answer is Yes, you are wrong but I still enjoy this site :) In regards to ExecTweets ... I'm not quite sure what they're trying to accomplish exactly. The biggest problem is they're highlighting many people that are already popular on Twitter.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the link. Obviously I'd disagree with you that Facebook doesn't register and people don't know what's going on. Facebook has become the number one driver of traffic to Perez Hilton over the past year. While I and your other readers on Twitter and Friendfeed are likely to come to your site from sources outside of Facebook, Facebook is much more mainstream and drives much more traffic to larger sites. I'm not sure that this site is the best example of a site that would benefit greatly from Facebook.

Not that it doesn't have interesting content, but I would argue that it's much more niche. You are entitled to your opinion of Facebook though and I'm sure there are at least a few other people that would agree :)

Best,
Nick
