Elgg is one of the most popular open source social networking platforms, and for good reason. Elgg has seen a lot of development and the most recent 1.0 version is nothing to snicker at! I’ve been using it for a project and I really like what they have done with the platform in regards to features, and what I think is most important, speed due to the efficiency of code. Now I’m aware blackhats are actively exploiting the Elgg platform mainly due to one reason, everything is pretty much do follow. I’ll be straight forward and mention, as I always do, that I do not condone spamming but adding relevant comments or content to the social platform. If you do a Google search for powered by Elgg you will find well over 50,000 sites that are powered by the social networking sofware.

Link Building With Clutterme.com

I’ve stumbled upon(no pun intended) a new web based website builder that allows you to host a free website on their domain, or get your own domain for a buck as well as hosting for $.24/day. This new website is called Clutter Me. The web interface is a overly easy to use system that allows you to build social media rich websites in no time, and if you like, embed do follow links to anything you’re writing about. Since Clutter Me is quite new the link juice isn’t that powerful, but the folks behind it are pushing the site very hard and within a few months your links should be worth the effort. I highly recommend building a few good webpages within Clutter Me and if you want to make a little money they’ve just opened up an affiliate program. If you’re done reading my rant head on over and sign up for free! As usual I’m going to mention please do not SPAM this great resource, instead use it for what it’s intended for.

Agglom.com is new to me, but has started gaining rank and traffic since late August. Forgive me if the site has been around longer, but I’m using data from Alexa(god forbid). Agglom is a social bookmarking site that allows you to do the obvious, but also build sets of links related to a certain topic. This is an interesting spin on bookmarking, and it makes for a unique site to help promote and save your web links. Now the links you add to your lists are not SEO friendly, so the only benefit here is gaining niche related traffic. However, you can put a do follow link to your website within your user profile which makes it worth your while to sign up and start sharing. I’ve started using the site this week for a client, so hopefully it helps out a bit and lets me see if the site provides any sort of link building merrit. Test it out for yourself by signing up here.

Finally another update eh folks? Is I stated before I’ve been moving and haven’t had much time to update my websites, but I’m going to sneak in this update on Info Barrel. I’ve written about Info Barrel before as a great new way to promote unique content and gain do follow backlinks. Well its been only a little bit of time, but the site has been taking off thanks to a great team of writers and social media marketers who have been not only promoting the site, but good articles written by members.

Well know they’ve added a tier’d revenue system that allows you to also take a cut of the Adsense revenue generated by the people you refer to Info Barrel. This creates an entirely new money making opportunity that most other revenue sharing websites don’t offer. Since the social content network is very *social*, your chances of earning good dough from content that goes viral is greatly increased. I’ve loved the system so much I’ve stopped using the likes of Squidoo and Hubpages for my articles!

The site has been attracting a lot of well known article writers and I’ve seen a lot of the content go viral which has helped push the site into the spotlight. I’ve been nailing a lot of long tail keywords with barely any work from Info Barrel, and it’s only going to get better! If you want to get started you can sign up, start writing and refer your friends to get in on the action.
