How To Improve Web Site Traffic and Blog Syndication through Tribe Social Networking
Posted by Kathy · 10 Comments
When you hear the words “tribe social networking“, does your mind instantly flash to an image of a group of warriers doing a mystical dance?
Well, it’s time for you to wake up and discover the greatest resource available for you to improve web site traffic, and develop a blog syndication plan. And yes, you guessed it – it’s called tribe social networking!
If you’re a parent you may have heard the phrase “it takes a village”. If you’re a blogger you’re about to learn that in our world, “it takes a tribe”.
Tribe social networking is a brilliant theory that perpetuates all that is good in our new world of cooperation and abundant thinking. No longer is it every man for himself, every person trying to step over the one in front of him to get ahead.
In our new world we recognize that we are surrounded by abundance and opportunity, and work together to share and spread the wealth. Sound like a Utopian sci-fi movie? Not!!! This is the here and now. It will not only help you to improve web site traffic and simplify blog syndication, but will also yield you some of the most amazing friends you’re likely to meet anywhere.
So, just what is tribe social networking?
Just as it sounds, it’s a tribe (group of like minded people) who band together for purposes of social networking and syndication of each others blog posts and other online material. Tribal members agree to work together to help others in the group to improve web site traffic and increase blog syndication.
The latest trend is to focus on promoting your tribe members one day each week, which has resulted in a hot new concept called Tribe Tuesday.
How to Build a Tribe Social Network – simple steps to success
- Identify other online marketers who are in your niche and share the same values and goals.
- Focus on helping them through blog syndication, commenting on their posts, retweeting their tweets, and interacting with them on social media sites. This will help you to get noticed by them.
- Once you’ve developed a relationship and have added value, you can approach them with your request for a mutual tribe social networking agreement.
- Some people form core groups of members who work together, others work with a variety of people who are not part of the core group.
How Will Involvement in a Tribe Social Network Help Improve Web Site Traffic?
Two main benefits here, leverage and social proof.
Leverage
Rather than doing the work necessary for effective blog syndication yourself, you’ll have a group of people doing it for you. If they’re also involved in other tribes your content has the potential to be spread throughout the Internet at an exponential rate.
Social Proof
Would you pay more attention to a blog syndication from the author, or from a third party? Social proof is everything….enough said.
Word of Warning
You want to align yourself with leaders who add value to the lives of others. Remember, you’re personally referring your followers and readers to these people, so you want to work with the cream of the crop. Your reputation is on the line.

Kathy,
Great post about tribes and the value of social networking. This is an absolute powerhouse of a social media model. The future of social media and online marketing is in the hands of those marketers who truly understand the value of a team. It’s in this team concept that all will rise to the top.
Imagine people helping people… establishing communities… for the benefit of all. The lone rebel solo marketer does not stand a chance against you and your tribe.
Thank you for being you and leading by example.

Hey Ken,
I’m so blessed to be in such great company as yourself, and to count you as one of my valued tribe members.
You’re absolutely right, the team concept is the future of our business. It’s so awesome that people have begun to realize that it is in helping others that they are in return helped. Not only does this follow the “golden rule” but it helps us to form amazing and long lasting relationships with others of true integrity and loving natures.
Right back at you with the thanks, my friend!

Great explanation of using tribes for social network syndication. I also appreciate your warning about only syndicating good content. This is vital! If you’re thinking of blasting anything and everything to your followers, they’ll quickly learn that you have little value to offer. Thanks for keeping it real!

I appreciate this post and especially your remark about aligning yourself with leaders. Especially on twitter, this stuff is key. And boy do I love tweeting blog posts and having them retweeted by others. In this biz it’s all about leads. Tweeting a post with an opt-in box and having partners to help, is priceless.
