Press Release Summary: Download it now! Small business owners’ complete guide on
how to build links, increase traffic, and establish and protect your reputation
online


Press Release Body: MINNEAPOLIS, MN – October 30, 2007 – Small Business Mavericks, a
division of Melberg Marketing, today announced it has registered and opened a new
domain, www.bizbloggingbasics.com, that will be the future site of a revolutionary
Small Business Mavericks product offering, called Biz Blogging Basics. As part of
the site’s launch, founder Caroline Melberg is offering a free report, “THE Best
Social Networking Sites for Increasing Traffic to Your Business Website and
Protecting Your Reputation Online,” that visitors can download from the site for
free.

“Connecting to other people and groups online is key to building a successful Web
business and establishing a reputation,” says Small Business Mavericks founder and
President Caroline Melberg. “This report offers business owners a comprehensive
list of resources they can use to build solid incremental links to their sites,
improve search engine rankings, and increase traffic.”

Just as important, Melberg says, is “establishing and protecting your reputation
online.” Web communities spread stories – both good and bad – about people, brands,
and issues every day that can dramatically affect search patterns and sales, “and
it’s important to be actively involved in the discussion when it comes to your own
company and brand. If you haven’t established your presence online, and someone does
post a negative comment, then it’s likely that negative comment will be all your
potential customers learn about you when they search for your company online.”

Melberg continues, “a blog is an important tool in your Online Reputation Management
toolbox, but there are many other tools available that business owners are not
taking full advantage of in terms of establishing their reputation online and
raising their search engine positioning too. This report gives all the details on
how any business owner can successfully establish and protect their online
reputation – and increase traffic to their website as well.”

Small Business Mavericks maintains a web site, www.smallbusinessmavericks.com, that
helps owners increase how often their businesses are found on the Internet with a
series of free tips, tools, and newsletters. An entire article library offers free
explanation and tips on podcasting, mobile search, viral marketing, article
