But at this early stage, how strong are the marketing opportunities for news sites? At a minimum news sites should set up an official profile and experiment with “buzz this” buttons on their templates. Facebook itself is making a push to get users to create personalized news channels that benefit both users and news sites.

Twitter Let’s start with Twitter. The Giants and Cardinals do have official representatives on Twitter ( giantspathanlon and cardschatter ) but no official team profiles. League-wide the Facebook numbers are much higher than Twitter which makes sense considering Facebook’s larger user base and adoption rate.

For those of you who don’t know what back-links are or what “back-link building” means, this concept refers to the proactive activity of searching out high-quality web sites and identifying ways to get the author to create a link to your site or article.

It’s not the same 20 every time – Twitter randomly shuffles in 20 profiles from the group it has deemed worthy of recommendation. Since new users aren’t always sure exactly how to use Twitter, this starter group can be quite helpful, so the profiles that are featured do end up getting a steady stream of new followers.

The Blogroll. I am not a huge fan of the blogroll. One of the pros is that you can direct traffic to your blog if you are listed on someone else’s blogroll which can help increase your rank. The con is if someone’s rank is not as high as yours, having them on your blogroll could hurt your rank. Self Boasting.
