“For The Best Hand-Job In Town…”

Filed under: online marketing — admin @ 1:17 pm

There’s a lot of talk these days about “web2.0″ and “web2.0 marketing”.

There’s some substance (i.e. adding value) to some of the techniques involved … and there’s a lot of “lets spam these sites while we can get away with it”.

 I’ve been looking into some of the sites you can market with and one of them has gotten me hooked!

It’s www.stumbleupon.com and it works like this: you list your interests and hit the “stumble” button.

You’ll then be shown a site that fits your criteria based on the recommendations of other “stumblers”.

For example, I’ve just been taken to this site:

http://www.jdbshow.com/badsign.html 

which has photos of ”unfortunate” shop signs and billboards.

(and a stained glass window that’s beyond belief!)

Hand Job

Stumbleupon is a great idea and I hope it can stay on top of the spammers as it’s a fun way of wasting a half-hour.
