The term “Web 2.0” means nothing. It was a buzz term referring to the way the internet was changing, but became overused and nobody can explain exactly what it is without going into techno babble that makes little to no sense to anyone that isn’t a total and complete tech geek.

Let’s compare the top sites between 2005 and today:

Notice the difference? In 2005, nearly every top visited website was a search engine or news site. In 2009, video and social networking sites are mixed right in!

Design has changed. It has gotten more modern. Is it Web 2.0? No, it’s just a nicer looking design…

Marketing on these sites is easy. You simply have to find them and figure out how to use them. The menu bar on any website will tell you all you need to do to build a presence there. There is no secret to it and they aren’t hiding from you! Here you can find the best sites that are considered to be “Web 2.0″.

Create amazing content and you will be found. This is normally referred to as “Link Bait”. You create something buzz worthy and people will find it and send you traffic because of it.

This concept is not new.

Take a look at what is being posted to social bookmarking sites and/or blogged about in any niche. Create something that is worth seeing and make sure that enough people see it. This is all you have to do to ensure that you get all of the quality customers and visitors you could ever need! Once the viral effect kicks in with any marketing, it literally can’t be stopped. Just sit back and enjoy!

Growth and change is good for business if you keep your hand on the pulse of your customer at all times. Find the sites that your customer is going to and make sure that your content is there for them to see.

Social Media is here to stay. Use it in your business and watch as the cash pours in.
