If you’re wondering to yourself whether Google Buzz is being used by the non-techie majority in Gmail’s estimated 220 million users, here’s a tip for figuring out whether it’s active in your area.
Before you watch the video below to see the “how-to” of this, let me explain why this is of any importance, in case you haven’t already come to one of these conclusions yourself.
You see, now that the furor over Google Buzz has died down considerably, many businesses and site owners are thinking about how they can use it to get exposure to their sites. Some are discovering that simply plugging their Twitter feed into it, or treating it like Twitter is failing.
Why are you a bunch of damn bastid? How dare you make me into a sloth? Isn’t it enough that I pimp my friend’s and the people I stalk on Twitter as my daily content? Did you have to go and make it moronically simple to do?
The video above is some of StumbleUpon traffic, specifically the traffic I drove using su.pr. In the example above, the numbers average to about 5000 Stumbles a week, and I’m not a Power Stumbler by any stretch.
That’s not even traffic I got for myself, it’s for other people.
I normally use Tweetmeme and BackType Connect to follow social media conversations about my site. But these were worth a mention, as I love anything that will link back to my blog when someone’s tweeted about me.
Here’s an oldie but goodie that I recently re-did and split into two videos. It’s all about examining basic information about your site in Google, but without logging into Google Webmaster Tools.
Hope you find these useful.

Here’s the description that’s on the YouTube page:
I’m back again, continuing the Facebook Business Basics series.
If you went to my Facebook page, you saw two videos about how you can find people on Facebook who may be interested in you and let them come back to your site. This video talks about what to do once you have someone viewing your profile. (more…)
David Bullock (an ACTUAL social media expert – we’ll talk about that later) interviews Mike O’Neil about LinkedIn. If you don’t know why you should be using it, take six minutes and 21 seconds to find out why. Another great LinkedIn expert?
Vincent Wright – especially if you’re looking for work right now. I hope to talk to him really soon.
I build traffic systems to increase the profitibility of your website. You can implement them yourself with one of our how-to manuals, below, or you can email us at support@asktinu.com for a free consultation, to evaluate your site for a custom solution.
