			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The question of &#8220;Why should a business spend resources on Web 2.0 marketing?&#8221;, has been a frequent topic of conversation between my clients and I this past year. Allow me to address and impress the importance of the matter here.</p>
<p>As for my clients &#8211; they are primarily real-world shop owners, small service businesses, authors and the like. You know the type, normal people with &#8216;real&#8217; businesses, not internet marketers that spend their working hours connected to the world wide web.<span id="more-10"></span></p>
<p>Nonetheless, the same reasons and rules apply to each of us, except the real world business owner <em>has</em> to do what an internet marketer can do in much shorter time (or contract the work out). These business owners do, after all, have a business to run.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re a busy entrepreneur or an internet marketer who just wants to get the job of website traffic over with and spend more time with your family, I will be sharing tips and time-savers on accomplishing social marketing on this site.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be covering over 30 top social sites (and share my ins/outs and workarounds to each of them). Some of these may be smaller and up-and-coming sites while others are well known and have millions of registered users and visitors per month. You&#8217;ll find that of the sites I review, approximately: </p>
<ul>
<li>92% have a Google Page Rank of 5/10 or higher</li>
<li>84% have a Google Page Rank of 6/10 or higher</li>
<li>64% have a Google Page Rank of 7/10 or higher</li>
<li>32% have a Google Page Rank of 8/10 or higher</li>
</ul>
<p>And if Google&#8217;s page rank doesn&#8217;t impress you, perhaps you&#8217;d like to know these Alexa findings of some of the sites I&#8217;ll be featuring:</p>
<ul>
<li>92% have an Alexa Traffic Rank in the top 35,000 </li>
<li>60% have an Alexa Traffic Rank in the top 4,500</li>
<li>36% have an Alexa Traffic Rank in the top 500 </li>
<li>16% have an Alexa Traffic Rank in the top 75 </li>
<li>12% have an Alexa Traffic Rank in the top 10</li>
</ul>
