We also have more content for you. Please join the Black Book update list to keep informed.

If you are reading this, you’ve downloaded and read at least parts of the Authority Black Book.

Why did we do it?

To establish some semblance of organization and sanity in a new web world where thousands of social networking and marketing sites are popping up monthy.

People are confused as to how they can best use social sites to market their sites and grab a piece the hundreds of millions of visits generated by these sites collectively each month.

Believe me, I’ve been studying this stuff for over a year and the Black Book has helped me immeasurably to get organized and efficient with my “Social Power Linking” efforts for The Friday Traffic Report.

That’s why we did it.

Why is this thing FREE?

For many reasons. One is because we have something to tell internet marketers about being an authority on the web the no one else is talking about. And we want to reach every single person who has the slightest inspiration to do something more on the web than plop up a site they built with Frontpage and hope for the best.

The Black Book is an alert to everyone that the web has indeed changed. That Web 2.0, or whatever you want to call it, exists and is not a fad.

The difference between user-based websites and interactivity, voting systems, user submitted content, and all the other unique features of new media sites and the old web are like night and day.

Forums and bulletin boards are one-dimensional. Web 2.0 sites are multi-dimensional in their ability to get the word out about your site and get traffic back to your products and services.

Putting a link in your signature file on a forum and participating is about as passive as marketing can get.

Using a site like MyBlogLog.com to build community, groups, and activate a readership for your site is much more effective and multifaceted than old school advertising methods.

So the argument that there is nothing especially “new” about the web today, or that what has happened with the thousands of sites coming online specifically for users to control doesn’t deserve to be “named” anything special is just simply a hollow, ignorant argument.

The Black Book has gone a long way in exposing that the “fad” of Web 2.0 is actually a full blown industry and the new face of the web all together.

But, tell us what you think below. This is just version 1.0 and we have plans to make it much better with more resources organized in the best way possible to get you efficiently producing more traffic than you currently have.

Tell us what you think…

…and we’ll keep pushing the envelope of quality for Black Book until it is the best free resource anyone has put out in our industry…period.

This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.

Another edition of the newsletter has been released. The download is below, but I need to tell you about something first.

We recently added some serious gifts for new members of Authority Site Center and I thought you would be interested to hear about them -:)
