I was able to come away with a few important key notes from Kareem's presentation.
1 - Myspace is not dead. Google usually has myspace in a very high rank in searches. Almost always on the first page. Having a myspace is important for getting exposure.
2 - Use social media for fan interaction and input. Don't just have fans on twitter and myspace, but have them give input and offer discounts and free stuff from your twitter to generate interest.
3 - Google analytics. Having more links to your sites will give you a higher ranking on google searches.
4 - Reserve your name on many websites. Getting your name saved on different sites will stop others from using your name and potentially damaging your online image. You can use namechk.com to see the availability of your name on a ton of different sites.
Solid tips gleaned from a huge list, Ben. Are you doing/planning most of these for your own use?
