You might want to take a look at the new social bookmarking service Second|Brain.

You could win a Macbook Air, iPod, or Xbox 360 too.

What does Second Brain do?

secondbrain.gifSecond Brain captures many of your action and bookmarks frm other social bookmark services and displays them in one place. You can then search and find them using tags.

For instance, My Second|Brain account is currently capturing my Twitter comments, WordPress.com posts, StumbleUpon stumbles, and Del.icio.us bookmarks. You can add DIGG, Flicker, Blogger, Google and a few others. You can also bookmard directly to Second Brain.

This allows Second Brain to be a second posting for your social bookmarks.

In this case, unlike StumbleUpon and Digg, you can freely submit bookmarks of your own sites without incurring the wrath of others. Basically, it’s a second chance for your bookmarks to be noticed.

I have notice that Second Brain even gets a screenshot of the page that is Del.icio.us bookmarked.

I find that a cool feature. You can also organize your bookmarks into collections and make some bookmarks private. I haven’t had a chance to see if they add the screenshot from other services.

The next step is following and getting followers to your content or lifestream as SecondBrain calls it.

Much like friends on StumbleUpon. You can follow friends on your SecondBrain page. It works a bit like a MyBlogLog home page where you have a list of social bookmarking actions of your contacts.

I recoment you take a look at Second Brain for two reasons.

First, this a simple way to get more exposure and traffic using social bookmarking and once set up,

it takes no time to use. It is all automaticly fed from your other social accounts. You can ad SecondBrain buttons  to your browser just like Del.icio.us. The buttons work just like the Del.icio.us browser buttons work. Better yet, bookmark with Del.icio.us and your bookmark goes to two places at once. Plus MyBlogLog if you added your account there.

Secondly, they have a contest.

Join (it is free) and you are entered in a contest. First prize is a MacBook Air. Second is an XBox 360. Third prize is a iPod Nano. And no, you do not have to blog about it. Those who create the best content and networks will win. Adding content is soooo easy. Join now, the contest only runs while SecondBrain is in beta.

*Update – Bogging Zoom is no more. The domain is now being used for something else.*

If you have not taken a look at Blogging Zoom yet, read a few of these reviews.

There are some good reviews here and you will see both the good and bad about Blogging Zoom. Most of the posts I have read have seen some good traffic from using Blogging Zoom.

I think you will find that Blogging Zoom is worth the time it takes to use.

Take some time to read some of the posts there and Zoom a few you like. It is off to a great start and continues to improve.

Take A Look! http://digitalkeyto.info/blogging/how-effective-is-blogging-zoom-and-stumbleupon-take-a-look.html http://digitalkeyto.info/blogging/how-effective-is-blogging-zoom-and-stumbleupon-take-a-look.html#comments Tue, 13 Nov 2007 20:12:45 +0000 JamesThoenes http://digitalkeyto.info/blogging/how-effective-is-blogging-zoom-and-stumbleupon-take-a-look.html

Monday was the biggest traffic day this blog has ever seen.

Take a look at the Google Analytics Graph for my traffic over the past few days.

The first bump is what happened when I first started to use Blogging Zoom.

*Update-Blogging Zoom is dead while the domain is now used for something else.*

That last part is Monday.

While I have been adding a reader now and then over the past few weeks it has been very slow growth. I have seen a few traffic bursts from posts that were linked on other blogs.

This is the first time I have had traffic on this scale.

A large part of the traffic came from StumbleUpon with nearly all the rest from Blogging Zoom.

I think the Stumbles also were triggered directly or indirectly from Blogging Zoom. I occasionally get a few Stumbles but never anything like this.

I should also point out that I have only recently put Google Analytics on this site.

I have been using other stats until now. While they were not as accurate or precise and Analytics, I am sure that there has never been traffic close to this on this blog before.

This has been quality traffic as well.

Some have said that StumbleUpon traffic just clicks away. Take a look at the visitor performance from Analytics.

pageviewsvisiors

  • 293 Unique Visitors
  • 684 Pageviews
  • 2.29 Pageviews per viewer
  • Over 1 minute time on site
  • A bounce rate under 30%

Not only did they visit, they looked at more than 1 page and stayed to read.

The bounce rate is lower than most of the Google searches that I get.

This is very good quality traffic.

I am looking forward to seeing what Blogging Zoom is going to be capable of in the future.

It is just getting started. If you are not using Blogging Zoom, sign up now. If not for yourself, to help other bloggers.

One last point about StumbleUpon.

I have made it a new rule not to Stumble my own pages. I’ll leave that to others. I also try to find other post to Zoom and Stumble. I am finding the more you give, the more you get.

Of course, if you like this post please Zoom and Stumble it. :)

What have your results been with social networking sites like Blogging Zoom and StumbleUpon? Any others you find easy to use?
