I agree with the comments of social buzz master, there are now many social bookmarking networks, however they take time and dedication to benefit from them.

There are an aweful lot of Social Bookmarking, Social News, Social Media and Social Networking sites out there with huge memberships. The issue becomes finding them and having time to 'effectively' work with them... I would think that the more we can 'effectively' work with the better. I don't mean spamming the sites but working with them on a one at a time basis. But I also think it's okay to communicate the same or similar message or post to many sites. Sorry for the shameless plug but I honestly agree... We should never put all our eggs in one or even 'very few' baskets... Greg Diversify, diversify, diversify…

For those people, this is a huge wake-up call. Right now I talk a lot about using online video - and I think it's integral to one's marketing campaign for several reasons I've espoused in other posts - but I would NEVER suggest one abandon other techniques and depends entirely on YouTube/video sites for all traffic. That's just dumb. Diversify! Anyway, I'm confused a bit about what Squidoo is going to do, what now constitutes spam, etc. Because one of the main points of Squidoo is that it allows affiliate links and promotion of products/services. That was it's big selling point originally. So now everyone's all "Oh, spammers ruined Squidoo..." when in fact, the "spammers" were often doing exactly what Squidoo was originally intended for. (Porno Iframe redirects, obviously, not included...) I'm curious to see what the new expectations/rules will be. In the meantime, I'll focus elsewhere and let it all play out.... Hey Paul,

I also think people are panicking without thinking, I can't believe that anyone was using squidoo as their only source of links and income. So it is a blip, not the end of the world. Ed dale did mention that the lenses with backlinks were still doing well, so the same rules as always apply. Backlinks make the world go round. I would love to see that list, and the videos sound interesting as well. Paul Forcey I think it is a good thing that they have removed things like iframes, the pornsters were abusing that fucntion.

If you do put something together for release, and it includes a section on PlugIM, be sure to let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I'd love to get involved with a project like that.
