Social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace provide a forum where people with similar interests can get together.

Social networking and book marking sites are among the most popular sites on the Internet and they allow users to share information on the products and websites they like in an informal manner.

These groups can be arranged geographically and may only have the one subject in common. A member of the social networking site can join as many groups as they like, so someone in Dorset with an interest in dogs can join groups related to Dorset, beaches in Dorset, Bournemouth night life, dog grooming and anything else that might be connected.

If you have a website that offers information as well as products and if you have the time to post new information regularly, then you should have a blog.

A blog can be a useful addition to your existing site and as an expert you can give helpful information about new products, write product reviews and give tips on how to get the most from new purchases.

Blogs can be a good way of interacting with your visitors and discovering what they need from your site. However, it is very important that the information is up-to-date and relevant.

Wordtracker is an online tool that can be used to grow the seed words into a keyword list, it is a powerful tool and can give us a lot of information including suggesting words related to our own, looking for keywords on a competitors site, showing us how many times a keyword is used in the past month.
