I’ve talked a lot about using Social Media Marketing for getting traffic to your Landing pages, but I’ve noticed a little shift on Hubpages lately…
Now, if you’re studied SEO (Search Engine Optimization), you’ll realize that getting backlinks to your site is a GOOD thing, obviously. Social Media Marketing (SMM; also known as Social Marketing) can help increase your PageRank by getting more juice from higher PR sites, right?
Well, for those who don’t necessarily have a lot of time to create new Hubpages, there’s a way around this…
REPLY to those HubPages!
Yep, it’s simple… find a HubPage that’s relevant to your Site and go post a USEFUL reply to the topic at hand. It works just like a blog, but, in most cases, it will get you more traffic. It’s like having an Ad on the Hub Page, itself!
Go do it before others figure out how to and take advantage BEFORE you!

Excellent tip,
I have tried pounding it into people’s brains for the longest time using these tactics for Parasite SEO purposes. Most people think the benefit of hubpages and others is just from creating a hubpage. For crying out loud, how many comments could you post compared to making hubpages? HAHA - You get it man! Keep spreading the good word.
Best,
Ruck

Thanks for the feedback, Ruck!
I guess I could have added the fact that you can use this for pretty much ANY Web 2.0 site!
I’ve used comments on sites such as Squidoo.com, as well. I see a lot of people taking advantage of the system and abusing it a little too much, but hopefully we still have a chance to use it to our advantage a little more! =)

Heya Clint! Good tip on using Hubpages. However, you have to be careful about the link text or your comments will be smell spammy.

There’s no denying that works. Be sure to try it on some of those Zimbio pages as well. They’ve worked great for me. (I’ve just let the cat out of the bag … but hey, i’m all for sharing)

Hmmm… Good catch! I swear…when I was looking at this the other day, I was looking for NoFollow tags and didn’t find any. Ha! I must be going crazy…
