Now That You’ve Made Digg…

This is a great article by Chris Winfield, one of the top social media marketing specialists and a frequent collaborator with The Happy Guy Marketing: You’ve Made Digg - Now What?

As with so many business decisions, people tend to rush in without a long-range plan. The script is usually the same…

Hey, let’s get the latest gadget.

Cool gadget.

Now what?

I wrote about the same problem in this article about website planning, because so many companies still are rushing out to build a website without a clue what they want that website to do for them.

Chris offers a few good suggestions on what to do about a page that has benefited from a surge in popularity as the result of a home page Digg appearance, including reoptimizing the page, adding calls to action, advertising on it, or redirecting it to another page. I would add that basically you can do pretty much anything you want with the page. For example, you could simply add the page a related survey geared to building leads for your telemarketing operations. Just keep in mind what people visiting it will be expecting. If they come expecting a video on how to carve fruits for a New Year’s Eve party, don’t fill the page with wallpaper remover products.

Great comment:

a couple of suggestions regarding online web site builders. I suggest 2 in particular:

google page creator: http://pages.google.com/

and the more flexible and still free (non-profit) Official Site Builder: http://www.officialsitebuilder.com/

Hope this helps,

They survey will ask an open ended question, but people will be able to respond with their own answers, and other people can vote whether or not they like that answer or contribute their own.
