Power Ideaz

After MySpace, Orkut (www.orkut.com) has gained immense popularity! Orkut, till Feb 07 had 44 million people who had signed in and the figure is growing every day. People from the USA, Brazil and India are in majority on Orkut. It’s not only for meeting friends, and discovering lost friends, but a very powerful tool for making your site popular as well.

The first three steps are similar to that with MySpace:

1. Start blogging: Become a blogger

2. Signup with a PPC (pay per click) advertisement distribution program like Google AdSense (http://google.com/adsense), and start your account. To know more you can refer to some of the earlier pages.

3. Signup with some affiliate program like Commission Junction (http://cj.com) or Clickbank (http://clickbank.com) and become an affiliate. You can carry advertisements of other companies and earn your commission.

4. Join Orkut (http://orkut.com). Earlier, to join Orkut, one had to accept an invitation which could be sent only by someone who already was a part of the community. But now, anyone who has a Google account can be a part of the community. Like people know, Orkut is a part of Google. You can use the same password and username. You can start adding friends in large numbers. The more friends you add, the better is your prospect of informing more people about your site/blog.

5. Join the ‘communities’ of Orkut. There are innumerable communities on Orkut; where you can find a lot of interested members. This will widen your access to a larger number of people. You can get in touch with these people at one click!

6. Post messages to the members of large communities. Write interesting messages with a link to your site/blog. Describe the purpose of your blog, and its utility; and send them to hundreds of members of various communities.

7. Send messages to all your Orkut friends and update them about your blog. At a single click of your mouse you can select all friends and reach them and also pass on your message. Try not to appear like a spamster. Your message should appear like an interesting story, or as if you are trying to pass some helpful advice to your friends; which has also benefited you. Add the link to your site/blog.

8. Make forum postings. Some of the communities do not allow messaging. Use forum postings in those communities. Orkut communities have forums where you can post your message, so that the members can see and if interested can email you.

If this is successfully carried out from time to time, the traffic is bound to increase!
