Last night at the office I was showing a friend one of the ShoeMoney System videos about How to Use, Dominate, and Profit From Social Media. In that video one of the things I cover is Delicious. I have never really seen anyone wright about how marketers can use Delicious to better understand their users/customers. If you are not familiar with Delicious its a simple hosted bookmark solution. Users can bookmark pages and then “tag” them so they can remember them later. Since its hosted users can always have access to their bookmarks no matter what computer they are on. Over 600 shoemoney.com pages are bookmarked on delicious. If you want to see what pages are bookmarked on your website just use the site:www.yoursite.com command on delicious. For example site:www.shoemoney.com gives me this: As you can see 988 people bookmarked the root of the site at http://www.shoemoney.com. Clicking on the number takes you to a page with a lot more insight on how these people are tagging your page. (see the red arrow above). As you can see above on the left hand side of the page we can see what each and every user tagged www.shoemoney.com as and on the left hand side we can see an aggregate: Now this is just an example for the root domain of the site… but since its the root domain of the site its kind of an overall analysis of what people feel shoemoney.com is about. Lets check out what they think. As you can see out of the 988 people who bookmarked the site: 361 have tagged it as Blog 294 tagged it as SEO 278 tagged it as Marketing 186 tagged it as Advertising Then there is a pretty big long tail of items like affiliate, tips, google, sem, finance, entrepreneur advice, ppc, internet marketing. There also is a lot of crossover… nobody labeled it just as Blog. Blog was accompanied by SEO, Marketing, or Advertising. So what does this tell us? Well its like we just polled a decent segment of our user base completely unsolicited and they told us that they feel shoemoney.com is a Blog about SEO , Marketing , & Advertising . Not quite how I would describe the site to someone but that is really interesting to see eh

I had lunch today at Corner Bakery and while I paid for my scrumptious meal, I feel I walked away richer thanks to a cookie and a smile. I was noshing on some soup and sourdough and reading the Times when my attention was captured by a curly-haired woman with a perky set of pearly whites suddenly standing in front of me. I’d seen her earlier, waltzing around the room, chatting up other smiling folk. “Hi,” she beamed. “I wanted to let you know about the Corner Bakery e-mail newsletter. If you sign up to receive it your very first e-mail from us will be a voucher for a free cookie, and after that we’ll send you news and cool offers and coupons for more free stuff. Wanna sign up?” A free cookie, eh? We all know what happened next. Driving back to the office later it hit me. This woman had convinced me to hand over my personal info — my actual personal e-mail account, not just the one I keep for spam — using two simple tools: a cookie and a smile. And while we can’t all compete with the likes of a snickerdoodle, we can all keep a cookie and a smile in our marketing arsenal. On today’s episode of SEM Synergy , Bruce Clay’s weekly podcast on WebmasterRadio.fm , I spoke to Tamar Weinberg. Along with being an Internet marketing blogger and consultant, Tamar is the author of The New Community Rules: Marketing on the Social Web . From strategy development to tactics for individual platforms, the book teaches readers about the nascent need for businesses to engage in conversation marketing on the increasingly social Web. Prior to its release last year, Tamar introduced the book on her blog, Techipedia.com. From her post: “There are two things that act as an extension to social media: #1: great customer service, especially since everything is now public, and #2: great content, so that you can do something that is clearly remarkable that people would want to talk about.” There you have it! Content and customer service, also known as a cookie and a smile. This simple duo wins me over every time. Your cookie is the value you can add to a consumer’s life. It’s the piece of the marketing equation customers can see and feel and share. In the online world, the cookie is the content that a reader sees as valuable.
