A discussion group created by internet marketer Rick Lomas about how internet marketing is changing and how we are going to use web 2.0 platforms to increase traffic and sales in our websites, blogs and social networks.

Web 2.0 can get you an unlimited amount of visitors for free. Did you know that MySpace gets TWICE the amount of traffic as Google and, if you know how, you can advertise there for free? Yes, you read that right. MySpace doesn't get a little bit more traffic than Google; it gets double the traffic that Google gets! And if you think there is nothing but teens at MySpace, you'd be dead wrong. Over half of the members are 35 years and older. They have money. They are looking to buy. It's simply a great place to advertise for free and pick up customers and leads.

And it's not just MySpace. It's all of the Web 2.0 sites.

You now have social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, authority sites.

Their names may be familiar... Digg, Technorati, Squidoo, Wikipedia, Craigslist, Del.icio.us, Furl.net and there are more popping up every day

Web 2.0 companies are still relatively new, but they've begun to overtake a huge majority of traffic online. It's something you can no longer ignore.

When you begin to realize how much traffic all of these new Web 2.0 websites receive, the numbers will scare you. These sites receive millions, upon millions of visitors every single day. These are the same people who look for stuff at the search engines. The same people who opt-in to newsletters. The same people who buy products. The same people who click on Adsense ads.

Discussion is to include:

• Squidoo


• Myspace


• Craigslist


• Tag and Ping


• Flickr


• Utube

and much more.
