Open Source Software for Social Networks. LovdByLess is an open source project that has all the features you will need to setup a basic social network. Programmed in Ruby on Rails, it gives you the framework and flexibility you’ll need to get up and running quickly. Special thanks to Rhea Drysdale and Steven Bristol for joining us on this show to discuss their product.
We discuss the updated Digg algorithm, plus What does Social have to do with SEO?
Brian Mark speaks with Matt Griffith, creator of the website Falsipedia, which covers everything from Pop Culture to American Governance and is built in the style and design of Wikipedia, but witout the emphasis on facts. In fact, every article is intentionally wrong.
We interview stand-up comedian Brody Stevens about an upcoming feature on his comedy tour using Twitter, and we discuss some relatively unknown twitter uses.
Part 2 of the social media/linkbaiting debate continues as Brent Csutoras is back to join the us.
Online Marketing, SEO & Social Media expert Brent Csutoras teaches us some of the things you should keep in mind when doing a social media / linkbait campaign (Part 1 of 2).
Dana Mark tells us how his website, Honest Bargain is a community driven site locating the best bargains on the web each day. If you sell products, this looks like a great opportunity to gain some additional exposure.
How do you drive extra traffic to your site for a special event, sale, or exciting new article? In the offline world, you’d have some sort of a sale flyer, radio ads, TV ads, or even hold a garage sale. Online, it’s a little different, but we’ve got some ideas.
* Since WMR hasn’t posted this one yet, I have it up without commercials. Please ignore the awkward silence in the middle.
We are joined by Fabio Cuffaro of MassiveLinks.com to discuss his Evolution of the web directory. He also shares some information he is found with Google Image Search and the Safe Search features.
Jim Hedger and Dave Davies join us to talk about de-optimizing websites, social marketing for SEO’s, and the upcoming SES San Jose.
Rand Fishkin from SEOmoz joins us to discuss social media best practices, linkbait, the linkerati, and the incredible team at SEOmoz.
We also discussed the Beginner’s Guide to SEO which is still a very valuable resource for any Noobie out there!
What can you do to make a directory into something more? Fabio is doing just exactly that, and once it launches we’ll have him back to talk about the experience.
Barry talks a little about Technorati, but then we move on to the recent ask.com wedding and all the twitter coverage live during the event. Fun with social!
