Would it be possible for #18709 to be sticky'd?
This is fairly important to shareholders.
Thx
Is there any chance of getting a new Moderator for the BZTG board?
Perhaps an actual stockholder?
The current Moderator has a personal agenda to discredit and defame the company as much as possible. To this extent they have also removed the Asst. Moderator who was in fact a shareholder. Unfortunately that person spoke highly of the company and was subsequently removed as an Assistant.
"Hopefully news will be coming out early this week to clarify this for those who want out before Aug.31st."
It would be nice to clear some things up as there seems to be some confusion.
The interesting thing is that the most vocal dissenters on this board are not even shareholders.
I intend to hold and wait for more information and the divy.
I've been waiting this long, may as well see this through to the end.
Good luck to all shareholders.
BZTG to the moon!
Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): Buzz Inc Resources
Jun 17, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- The following is a summary of the Buzz Inc Resources Division as at June 17 2009. The company mining interests are speculative in nature and acquired for the express intent of proving reserves and on selling the sites mainly to Chinese buyers/investors. Our focus remains firmly on Steel related ores, Gold, Oil and Uranium.
Manganese Ore - Thailand
Certified Reserve of 6m MTU of MN Ore signed by Mr. Suthep Soontrarun Geologist/Mining Engineer acting as Authorized Geologist on Behalf the Department of Primary Industries and Mines, Ministry of Industry Thailand. This Certificate covers 2 of the 4 sections on the Lanna site. This certification completes an important part of our sales and marketing plan for 2009.
The MN Ore is at the top end of the quality scale and this site is now in production with its first order ready for China.
MN Ore of this grade currently sells for approx $200 per MTU
Iron Ore - Thailand
On our own site we have a reserve, tested but not yet certified of 8m MTU of Iron Ore also in the high end grade, we have further secured the marketing rights to an adjoining 30m MTU of Iron Ore, we have been introducing end users to the reserve but we are not selling any Iron Ore at the moment, there is a strong possibility that the way Iron Ore is sold will change in the near future, further, the price of Iron Ore is far too low to be entering any long term contracts, instead we will take advantage of the time to create interest in the site and offer it for sale as the price improves.
Today the Av Iron Ore (lump) price is at $78
Our sites in Thailand have a distinct advantage over competing sites and that is location, as the Oil price rises the cost of Sea Transport will rise dramatically. Our ore can be trucked, trained or shipped the short distance to China easily. We are looking at the possibilities of having our own location in China, we would ship our own production directly into China and "retail" it ourselves, and this could make the mining part of the venture worthwhile and would add significantly to the minerals marketing area.
Gold- Cambodia
We have a site in Cambodia that was tested in 2002; the result was an estimated 380,000 oz deposit of Gold. The Estimate was done only on 25% of the area and did not involve extensive drilling. What we can say for sure is that the site does contain Gold, how much we cannot really be sure but at least 25% of the site shows a very good hard rock deposit of Gold. We are now examining the site further and will report when we have more concrete information.
Oil and Gas Cambodia
Chevron is the big explorer and also our neighbor on a concession we have under contract, no exploration has been done yet. They have estimated the potential Oil Reserve in Cambodia to be worth over $1b per annum.
Uranium- Namibia
We hold a concession in Namibia for a very prospective Uranium area, exploration will commence in December 2009.
-- Namibia has two significant uranium mines capable of providing 10% of world mining output.
-- Its first commercial uranium mine began operating in 1976.
-- There is strong government support for expanding uranium mining and some interest in using nuclear power.
While "future sales" of the mining products adds into the billions it is not the intention of Buzz Inc to operate mines in the future unless it is based on very long term supply contracts and/or joint ventures. Our preference is to find, prove and sell reserves.
We look forward to mining becoming a major part of future revenue estimates.

Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): Managed funds from Buzz FS
Apr 30, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Many people are drawn to the forex market due to the high liquidity, 24 hour trading, low start up costs, and the high returns. However, some traders are unable to sufficiently learn or trade currency due to a conflicting full time job or other obligation. Also, many investors like to supplement their existing portfolio without having to learn a completely new market. This is where the " managed forex account" comes in. A managed forex account is an established easy forex account funded by the investor, and traded by our professional team. This allows the investor a reasonable rate of return on an account he does not necessarily have to trade himself, and the opportunity to be a part of the largest market in the world.
There are literally hundreds of companies and investment firms that make use of an investor's money by establishing a managed forex account. Some of these companies and firms specialize in managed forex accounts, and spend all of their time and effort strictly in the currency exchange. This gives the investor confidence their managed forex account is being traded by a professional currency investor, and gives them a better chance of a steady monthly (or yearly) percentage of return. The returns on a managed forex account have been anywhere from 5% to 20%+ monthly, with a 40% of the profit as a monthly fee to BUzz Inc. While many companies and professionals may take management fees on the managed forex account even if the account is not in profit for the month, Buzz Inc only takes a fee on success.
There are obviously many up sides to a managed forex account. The investor is able to achieve a steady rate of growth without having to spend all the necessary time and effort to trade the money himself. The investing firm or company that provides the managed forex account will take a small portion of the profit for the month or year, still assuring that the account is at steady growth. The forex market is a very liquid market as well, giving the investor a much more flexible means of withdrawing funds from the managed forex account. Also, trading currency allows profit potential in both rising and falling markets, giving the experienced money manager more opportunities to grow the investor's account.
As a managed forex account seems like a very lucrative direction to take in the forex market, some people may still be drawn away from it for a few select reasons. Usually, many commercial brokers and investment firms have a minimum for the account to be traded. These minimums are usually around $10,000, and prove a hefty starting cost to the average trader. BUzz Inc has a $1000 minimum and NO SET UP FEES, you open and oversee your own easy forex account and notify them that Buzz Inc will be trading the account.
Also, many of these companies can (and usually do) promise high returns. In spite of these statements, the majority charge a monthly management fee to your managed forex account. If your monthly return is less than the standard monthly charge, your managed forex account will be in the negative even though before the fee, you were positive. Great care must be taken in selecting your forex investment firm, as to minimize your losses due to weak months. BUzz Inc has a net success only policy.
Managed forex accounts can be an excellent way to grow a large account, or provide a steady rate of growth over a long period of time without the hassles and emotional swings of trading currency yourself. If the investor has both the capital and a reputable investment firm or professional, a managed forex account could prove to be a great investment opportunity.
We offer managed forex accounts for high net worth clients. Please contact us for details ! Why would Forex traders trade through a Portfolio Manager
They may not have the time or the experience to trade in the currency markets themselves
They prefer to not constantly follow movements of the market
They want to have the ability to obtain and respond instantaneously to new information that is beyond the capacity of most busy investors
They want to experience the profit potential of Forex trading, without having to do the work themselves
They want to utilize the experience, knowledge and discipline of professional money managers
Full transparency
At the click of a button you can generate detailed reports, as well as track all transactions performed in your Forex account. This is what is called "WYSIWYG" (What you see is what you get). You may check the value of your position at any time, as well as see historical data (transactions and deals). In addition, you may generate 'scenarios' ('what-if') with possible rates to test your position to see if you will lose or gain.

Here's a new PR. Let the bashing begin....
(My one and only post of the day, woo hoo)
Here's my 'one' post of the day.
Just to be clear, that's not my email to Sunny.
My screen name is AsianGoogleFan, not AsianGoogle.
That was sent by someone else.
I've got all the answers I need.
BZTG in '09!
When you reply tomorrow, AGF, please explain why the company referred to in the text of that press release only refers to "Buzz Inc" and never mentions Buzz Technologies.
Shouldn't there have been a press release to notify us of the fact that BZTG is now a private company?
I don't work for the company. I don't know.
Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): Why Buzz Will Survive the Downturn
Mar 03, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Although the current economic downturn has claimed many corporations, Buzz Inc remains in a strong position and is capable of seeing out a multi year recession/depression without the need for debt or dilution.
Having taken the long road from the beginning and building the business predominantly from earnings Buzz Inc now sits in an enviable position.
The diversity of investments has meant the company is not critically exposed to any one sector of the market. Instead Buzz Inc has used its success to build a solid base of core investments. These investments combined with tight cost management and low overhead business model allow Buzz Inc to not only survive the economic downturn, but to take advantage of it!
Buzz Inc is now looking at investments in the USA real estate sector as well as real estate in Asia's financial centres and holiday destinations.
Core management at Buzz Inc has stepped up the corporate monitoring and meeting schedules, the group believes that the markets may indeed get worse in coming months, however a recovery is certain in some areas and investment will focus on those areas.
This sentiment has also been reflected by the world's foremost investor, Warren Buffet, Buffet has said the economy will be "in shambles" this year, and perhaps longer, before recovering from the reckless lending that caused the worst "freefall" he ever saw in the financial system.
The economy and stocks will rebound, and the best days for the U.S. are ahead, said Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., in his annual letter to shareholders Feb. 28. Buffett said he'll spend the recession shopping for new investments for Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire.

Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): Search Engine News, Baidu, Buzz, Goolge, Yahoo, Microsoft
Feb 19, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) is slowing down, dogged by a loss of unlicensed advertisers and China's rapid economic deceleration. Coming down from its meteoric profit growth, the Chinese search giant will now likely cast a more stringent eye on costs as it pursues global ambitions beyond traditional search, extending its purview to online gaming and shopping.
Slower ad spending and the controversy surrounding Baidu's display of ads from unlicensed drug companies put a dent in the company's fourth-quarter results, which missed market expectations. Quarterly sales declined from the previous quarter for the first time since the company went public in 2005. Sales totaled $132.2 million for the fourth quarter, which represented a 58% gain from the previous year's corresponding period but a 2% slide from the third quarter.
Rankings.com has again ranked the Buzz Inc (OTC:BZTG) 12buzz.com search engine above Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Yahoo and MSN. The clear winner in Thailand was Google's Thai web search www.google.co.th , of English search engines 12buzz.com was a clear winner. 12buzz.com has focused on attracting English speaking locals and expatriates across Asia as they represent the prime market for Buzz Inc's (12buzz Parent) One-2-Property and for Buzz Financial Services.
Google predicted Thailand would see an explosion of spending on online and search-related advertising that would be worth an estimated $250 million (7.88 billion baht), according to Google's regional managing director for Australia, NZ, Korea and Southeast Asia Richard Kimber who sees a very strong future for Google in Thailand.
Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and AOL each carved out a little more U.S. search market share in January, but Google still had the biggest piece of the pie, according to a report Wednesday by ComScore.
Yahoo Web sites accounted for 21 percent of the market (up half a percent) compared to the month before, while Microsoft grabbed an 8.5 percent slice (up 0.2 percent), and AOL nabbed 3.9 percent of the market (a 0.1 percent increase).
Google, while still holding the largest slice of the market by far, accounted for 63 percent of the search industry in January, down half a percent.
One interesting observation from Silicon Alley Insider is Yahoo's consecutive five-month run in posting modest monthly gains in U.S. search market share.
In August, for example, Yahoo's market share stood at 19.7 percent, according to SIA. But in the past five months, it has steadily grown, garnering more than a 1 point increase during that time.

I believe it's misleading for you to post a Buzz Technologies FAQ. Written in this format it may appear to some as though it is from the company.
From the recent PR:
"Bztg shareholders are entitled to 1 Buzz Inc share for each Bztg share held. The share capital of Buzz-Inc is exactly the same as Bztg and the company has stated on numerous occasions there will be no dilution of the share capital."
Put the mining information back in the iHub box.
Should we no longer discuss any of the PR's that are distributed by the company, or just the ones pertaining to the Lanna Project? Would it be best if we all individually emailed the company for information that we then shouldn't discuss on this board?
Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): Google, Yahoo, Buzz Seek to Improve Mobile Services
Feb 12, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Buzz
Buzz Inc's 12buzz.com will be releasing a new more visual set of search results for the mobile search at www.mobi.12buzz.com , the new features will be in line with the new features just released on
www.12buzz.com's search engine. With s many people using iPhone and other smartphones the company is hopeful that their new visual format will bring more customers to mobile search. 12buzz.com is currently undergoing dynamic rich media upgrades on all the companies web sites.
Google
After launching the "AdSense for mobile content" program in September 2007, the Google team announced a new feature, "AdSense for mobile search", that allows mobile phones to show Google-supplied advertisements and invites mobile website owners and network carriers to enter a revenue sharing program with the Mountain View, Calif.-based search engine.
"AdSense for mobile search is a quick and easy way for carriers and mobile publishers to embed a Google search box on their mobile portals and web sites," said Yury Pinsky, product manager for the Google mobile team, in the blog post. Mobile phone users will be able to search the web directly from any page in the site to look up for news, images or simple search results, all specifically formatted to fit on a small phone screen.
Google will enable webmasters to personalize to some extent the search page with a partner logo at the top left corner of the screen, and up to 2 custom links displayed at the bottom of the page, right before the footer. The webmasters who choose to adhere to the initiative will benefit from a search advertisement revenue sharing program with the search engine.
Yahoo
The program now uses signals from cell towers and Wi-Fi networks to sense its location, so it will automatically return local results. (Competing services from Google and Microsoft already do this.)
The new oneSearch also keeps track of your old searches and uses them in suggesting new ones.
Most importantly, the oneSearch client now works on Windows Mobile phones (though only in the U.S. for now). I think that makes oneSearch the first free search program with speech recognition to work on Windows Mobile

I'm sorry. It was worth a try for you to contact them though.

Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): New Research on Search Shows Google Has Competition
Feb 06, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Despite Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) clear dominance of online search in the U.S., the company still isn't the only player in town.
A study by Forrester found that 55 percent use more than one search engine per week, and that 20 percent of searchers use only Google.
"Users find that other search engines are actually more effective for certain things--like looking up stock quotes or finding news stories," said analyst Shar VanBoskirk in the study.
According to the study, 69 percent of people use Google at least weekly, compared to 50 percent for Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO), 18 percent for AOL, and 14 percent for Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT).
Buzz Inc's 12buzz.com (OTC:BZTG) has been developing a host of search products many of which are seeing the upgraded, dynamic rich media versions come online.

Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): More iPhone Content from Buzz
Feb 06, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- In the hands of the Tech savvy younger market the iPhone's (News - Alert) large touchscreen, user interface and an unlimited data plan lead to high rates of browsing, video viewing, music listening and social networking, according to a new report from M:Metrics.
Overall, that's good news for the mobile industry: a fun, intuitively interactive device and unlimited service plans can drive data consumption, near-and-dear to the hearts of network operators seeking to induce consumers to add data to their mobile diet. Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG) is one company devoted to mobile content and, someday soon, mobile advertising.
The company has upgraded www.12buzz.com/mobile reloaded for iPhone and Apple (News - Alert) Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL) agree that iPhone owners are much more likely to engage in data than smartphone owners as a whole, and far more likely than mobile-phone users in general, according to M:Metrics' survey data.
The "iPhone demographic" is similar to smartphone owners in general: male, aged 25-34, with a college degree and more than $100,000 in annual income. But the M:Metrics numbers, the result of a survey of more than 31,000 mobile phone users (and 202 iPhoners), show that iPhone users are big consumers of services well-sampled by smartphone owners but only nibbled at by the average mobile-phone owner.
Fully 85% of iPhone owners browse the Web on their device, versus 58% for smartphone owners and 13% for the average mobile customer. Where only 5% of average mobile customers watched mobile TV or video, 14% of smartphone owners do and 31% of iPhone users do so. Nearly 75% of iPhone users listen to music, versus 28% for smartphone owners and nearly 7% of average mobile customers.
Despite the fact that iPhone owners' and smartphone owners' demographics are similar, the iPhone drives greater mobile content consumption, according to Mark Donovan, an M:Metrics analyst.
"In addition to the attributes of the device itself, another important factor is that all iPhones on AT&T Mobility are attached to an unlimited data plan," Donovan said. "Our data shows that once the fear of surprise data charges is eliminated, mobile content consumption increases dramatically, regardless of device."
YouTube and Google Maps are accessed by 30% and 36%, respectively, of iPhone owners, compared with 1% and more than 2% of average mobile-phone users, according to the M:Metrics data.

The project will be divided into eight phases and offered to investors to purchase in phases. Baan Thai Layan offer freehold ownership in all phases*.This will allow investors to manage, sell, or do any transaction for future business purposes.
The investment opportunity is win-win. This investment structure allows investors to enter the booming Phuket market with much less risk than going alone. Surin Hill Development is confident that investors will gain an attractive return on this investment opportunity.
The concept behind Baan Thai Layan is based on Surin Hill Development experience of an increasing trend in villa rental in previous projects, as well as from company's market study of Phuket. Other factors that bode well for Baan Thai Layan are that visitors to Phuket continue to show strong year-on-year growth, especially mid to high-end visitors who are choosing to stay in villas or rented condos more now than in the past.
Surin Hill Development offers a master plan for each phase, will supervise the construction, and ensure project completion to Surin Hill Development's high standards. Interior design will be in accordance with the design concept with support of an experienced design team in all phases of development. Additional furniture and interior decor is available upon request at extra cost. Surin Hill Development has a proven track record of the highest standard of contemporary Thai design which delivers future value to your investment.
Surin Hill Development will also support on all documentation required for the local authorities. With experience and long term relationships with local organizations, as well as quality and cost control, Surin Hill Development's assistance will help investors reduce risk of unexpected budget overrun or extreme costs that may otherwise happen during the construction process.
Nowadays, a lot of visitors seek more benefit from their holidays and as the demand for second homes in Phuket continues to grow, investment opportunities are targeting the needs of many groups. Providing a medium to long-term rental option for retirees or short-term rental option for tourists, both offer strong rental return potential from sound real estate investment.
*Freehold ownership under the Thai condominium ownership law.
Baan Thai Layan Concept Design
'Architecture is a part of nature' concept is being used for the project. The Master Plan has been designed according to the topography and local environmental conditions which are important factors in the design of a residential living environment. Baan Thai Layan architecture and design will showcase of completed functional living and contemporary Thai applied design that will add value to the development and individual units, and create a great living environment.
Baan Thai Layan will contain eight phases of development; Phase A - Phase H. Each phase is different in land size, shape and number of units, with variety of design options. Investment opportunities are available now and the construction of the first phase has begun.
Phase A and Phase B is of the same design. Each phase will have a parking area, common pool with wooden wall ensuring privacy. There will be 3 floors with duplexes and studios. Duplex type rooms will have 2 bedrooms, living room with private terrace and daybed, and access to the common swimming pool. Studio rooms on top floor will have a private balcony and daybed.
Phase C to Phase H will be designed in low rise private condominium style, each unit consisting of 2 floors with roof garden and comprising 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, courtyard and swimming pool, plus roof garden and private sala.
Whereas many condominium developments in Phuket fill almost the entire site with residential units, we have been careful in our planning for Baan Thai Layan to leave a large amount of space for communal gardens and tropical surroundings. Each phase will have privacy and separate common area. There will be a commercial area at front of the project including a coffee shop, banking office and branded convenient store. This, we are convinced, will enhance the attractiveness of the condominiums to individual buyers in the future.

Feb 05, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- One-2-Property (www.12property.com) has extensive experience and exposure in Phuket property which is the fastest growing second/home resort destination in Asia.

The One-2-Property (www.12property.com) has been found by Buzz Inc, a listed USA company looking to join the Hong Kong Exchange in the future (ww.12buzz.com). One-2-Property acts as a Developer, an Agent and a Marketing Partner in Phuket and Bangkok and as an Agent and Marketing Partner in Thailand, Australia, USA and Europe. www.post.12buzz.com www.bangkok.12buzz.com www.spain.12buzz.com etc

Phuket is now one of Asia's most sophisticated and certainly best established property markets. For the past twenty years developments have been springing up around the island, encouraging a large influx of investors. At present, there is an increasing demand for new luxury developments in areas such as Laguna, Bang Tao Beach, Mission Hills, Surin, Cherng Talay and Layan, as well as the southern coastal areas of Nai Harn and Kata. The traditional areas, such as Patong, are mostly overdeveloped and priced at a premium, but there are still bargains to be had.
Phuket also boasts a full range of property choices: condominiums, apartments, houses and luxury villas, so there is no shortage of options. There are many area's in Phuket that offer superb value on an international standard, on the beach however, for the most part it is strictly for the wealthy. Residential property away from the lovely west coast bays is affordable but certainly not the cheapest in Asia.
Buying property in Phuket
Real estate in Phuket is, in many respects, a lot more established and sophisticated compared with other coastal regions, like Pattaya, Krabi and Koh Samui. Phuket real estate is now seeing a large influx of European and American buyers competing with the Singaporeans, Japanese and Chinese who have favored Phuket for sometime, which fits perfectly with the One-2-Property approach to marketing, using technology to reach the clients before they arrive.90% of western property research is done online amd well before a visit.
The common price tags for properties ranges from 4 million to 14 million baht, largely depending on location and size, with beach front and sea view properties going for significantly higher prices.
Buying Distressed Assets
Like many locations around the world Phuket does have many owners and developers that are now forced to sell and sell quickly. One-2-Property is happy to work on a % of discount to market price. Contact sales@12property.com
Finance in Phuket
Most foreigners can not arrange local finance in Thailand, however,One-2-Property has a number of finance options available on selected properties. Contact sales@12property.com
Buying condos in Phuket
Although villas are the most desired property choice for some, others prefer the easy living resort condos have on offer. Resort Condo buildings are concentrated in developed tourist areas such as Patong, Laguna, Karon and are now back in vogue. Only Thai nationals have a right to own land, therefore foreigners are limited to buying condos in buildings that are at least 51 per cent Thai owned. Some companies use complex company structures or long term land lease to overcome this, but condos present a much safer option. Condos also offer all sorts of shared amenities such as pools and fitness centers and are generally more centrally located.
Buying villas in Phuket
For high-flyers and those can afford a second home, luxury villas are a popular choice in Phuket and are offered by numerous developers who have seen the demand in this sector. Mostly, they are super-luxury property options, serene and sophisticated set in tropical Asian contemporary landscapes, with good seafront locations and big price tags. Some are sold as stand alones, but mostly they are offered as part of an exclusive resort project. Since the land they are built on cannot be owned by foreigners a round-about ownership structure is created.
Investing in Phuket properties
Phuket property market has also proven popular with investors' who see the potential and low risk in this lovely tropical location that is increasingly becoming a jet set hotspot. Good infrastructure and demand from the wealthy, makes Phuket a good option for investing in Asian property and making guaranteed profitable gains in the mid or even short term.
Living in Phuket
Phuket has lo ng been Asia's most popular destination for holiday makers because of its tropical climate and fantastic beaches. Located in the pristine Andaman Sea, Phuket is seen by many in Asia as a desirable and central home away from home. Relocation to Phuket has been made more convenient by its well established infrastructure, international airport and quality services: yacht marinas, golf courses and shopping malls, all of which draws the attention of holiday makers the world over. A large expatriate community has continued to grow over the past 10 years, with two international schools available on the island and an extensive support network of clubs and societies.
Phuket offers an impressive range of services which include an international standard hospital, english speaking lawyers, extensive estate agent services and even a local english newspaper. Undoubtedly the tropical, scenic backdrop of the island encourages foreigners to invest in property and developments. Phuket, is a large island and has many tourist areas, such as Patong, Kamala, Karon and Kata. They all have vibrant nightlife scenes, with a combination of great discotheques, bars, restaurants and nightclubs, making Phuket, a 'foreigner friendly' destination for foreigners.

Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): Buzz Social Media Marketing
Feb 04, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Communities, News, Blogs and Content
Social media marketing is the process of promoting your site or business through social media channels and it is a powerful strategy that will get you links, attention and traffic. There is no other low-cost promotional method out there that will easily give you large numbers of visitors, some of whom may come back to your website again and again. If you are selling products/services or just publishing content for ad revenue, social media marketing is a potent method that will make your site profitable over time.
Those who ignore the efficacy of social media usually fall into three categories; the ones who don't know much or anything about social media, the ones who are interested but don't know how to use it and those who don't believe in the value that a social media strategy can bring to any site or business.
Primary and Secondary Traffic Primary traffic is the large amount of visitors who come directly from social media websites. Secondary traffic is referral traffic from websites which link to and send you visitors, after they come across your content through the social sites.
High Quality Links Becoming popular on social news websites will get you a large number of links, some of which may be topically relevant, some not. A good story can realistically acquire a large number of high quality editorial links, most of which cannot be easily bought. The higher your site ranks in terms of numbers, the further it moves up the rankings of search engines.
Widgets, Blogs, Forums and News
Buzz manages all of this from design and construction, to maintenance and distribution.

Despite the dramatic fallout from the subprime mortgage loan fiasco, real estate advertisers will continue to spend online in the next few years. A new report shows home brokers, agents and developers are increasingly shifting their advertising dollars to the Web, almost to the exclusion of all other media, including print newspapers.
Online advertising research and consulting firm Borrell Associates predicts in its "Real Estate Outlook 2007-2012" report that online real estate advertising will outpace print newspaper advertising within the next five years. The report forecasts newspaper will receive $4.8 billion in advertising revenue in 2007, while online advertising will receive $2.6 billion. By 2012, newspapers will receive $3.3 billion compared to online advertising's $3.5 billion.
The report predicts real estate newspaper ad revenues will drop 6.8 percent this year and by the same rate in 2008, followed by a sharper 16 percent fall in 2009 and another 13 percent decline in 2010. The steady fall will also affect local homes magazines.
The real estate ad shift away from traditional media to online mirrors similar shifts in other advertiser verticals, according to Peter Conti, Jr., SVP of Borrell Associates. That transition was spurred by two years of depressed home sales have forced brokers to reassess their ad spending.
"Unlike recruitment verticals and the automotive vertical, where we've seen the dramatic shift to the Internet over the years, the rising tide of home sales kept all sorts of advertising afloat," said Conti. Now, he added, "There are less homes being sold, but at the same time advertisers and real estate brokers are looking for the most effective use of their dollars. And everybody agrees that the most efficient means is online."
According to the report, spending by real estate advertisers on online ads and promotions will account for 16.7 percent of total online spending in 2007; Web site design, communications and database services will make up the remainder. By 2009 those numbers will change only slightly with 17.3 percent of online budgets going towards online ads and promotions.
The falling property markets will push agents to compete even harder for leads.

Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): Thailand's Housing Business Association Urges Developers to do More Marketing
Feb 04, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Buzz Inc's (12buzz.com) and One-2-Property have been offering highly advanced Property marketing services in Thailand since the launch of their search engine in mid 2008.
In response to the government's new incentives, property firms should introduce more activities and launch attractive promotional campaigns to spur homebuyers to make a decision, said Housing Business Association (HBA) secretary Wasan Kiangsiri.
"The private sector should also help stimulate homebuyers' decisions after the government announced the new incentives related to the property sector," he said.
"Market sentiment has recovered and developers see positive signs, apparent in fully booked booths at the fair and even higher rental rates," he said.
Advertising Property: Property advertising on the Internet is extremely competitive and a serious strategy needs to be properly in place for the best positions to be reached on the Google and other search engines. The property market is tough and recently more people have developed websites in the anticipation of reaching the top placements to get all the traffic that are looking for property from all over the globe.
Advertising Property with Pay per Click Advertising in the property market using traditional pay per click advertising is a very risky and expensive venture. Due to the high level of competition for the business the cost per click is substantial and the sites are consuming a large advertising spend a month with no problem. The advantages are that with one sale in the property market an advertiser could pay for an entire year advertising using ppc on an ad network as the profit margins are high per property sale. The main advantage with ppc is that you are able to take premium listings under your chosen key search terms and gather qualified leads that are searching for your services the instant you place your bid. However people seem to be increasingly aware these are in fact ads and not search results and tend to disregard them.
Property Advertising with Banners: Banners are a popular way to get branding out there and with the right graphics can influence an end user to remember your company and use your services as opposed to the competitors to purchase their property. Banners provide the added branding benefits.
Advertising Property with Search Engine Optimization (SEO): The best way to advertise property on the web is to get your property site on to the 1st page of the search engines in the natural listings with Buzz's search engine optimization. The reason is obvious. The best locations on a page of natural listings are used 90% by the end user looking for the property sales as opposed to any paid sponsor listings and there are no costs attached with visitors clicking through to your website. The Phuket property market is extremely aggressive and competing against the long standing websites is difficult - but we make it possible!
It is essential that you have a clear strategy in place when taking on advertising property on the internet. The first thing to do is decide which key phrases you want to target in the property market and then make sure you know which pages are going to target which phrases. You must avoid repetition in all your web pages and ensure your metas are unique page to page. Your Phuket property website must be 'squeaky clean' to stand any chance of reaching 1st page on Google. You must ensure page layout is correct so the search engine spiders understand what you are wanting to advertise and do not participate in any link farms on the Internet. Call 0807007900 for more information or advice on advertising your property website with search engine optimization (SEO).
Buzz Marketing for Properties offers attractive options for getting quick cash for property you are looking to sell.

Buzz Sat TV - Featuring Bloomberg, BBC News, CNN International, ESPN, Fashion TV, NASA and YouTube!
With 378 million TV households and 152 million cable TV households at the end of 2007, China is the world's largest TV market. Its cable TV industry generated A 3/43.4bn in revenue in 2007 and is expected to grow at over seven per cent year-on-year to be worth Euro 4.8bn by 2012.
Cable dominates the multi-channel industry as satellite reception is banned and IPTV is in its infancy. As a result 40% of all homes have cable TV, and it accounts for 99% of the pay TV market.
With significant investment in the technological infrastructure across the country, the cable industry is rapidly converting to digital in time for the planned analogue switch-off in 2015. The Olympics is acting as a catalyst for this - as the Beijing Olympics will be the first all-HD Olympic Games. Digitisation and a raft of interactive TV services will drive average revenue per subscriber up.
According to The Insight Research Corporation this sector is set to explode, here is what they had to say;
Streaming video and music distributed across the Internet, an IPTV network, or a mobile handset will generate $70 billion in network- derived and content-derived revenue into the US markets over the next six years, according to a new market research study from The Insight Research Corporation. Streaming media refers to the transmission of digital audio and video files over an IP network or wireless network in real time or on-demand, while prohibiting users from storing the files locally.
Insight's market analysis study, "Streaming Media, IPTV, and Broadband Transport: Telecommunications Carriers and Entertainment Services 2008-2013," describes the technology and market forces underpinning the network-derived revenues generated from distributing streamed content across the public Internet, content distribution networks, cellular networks, or telco IP networks.
The study also estimates the revenue from the various types of content- derived revenues, along with associated advertising revenue. The streaming market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of nearly 29 percent over the next six years, driven by on-demand audio, on-demand video, as well as the accompanying advertising revenue.
"The outlook for streaming media has never been brighter. Questions surrounding consumers' willingness to pay for content have been dispelled by satellite radio and iTunes," says Robert Rosenberg, Insight Research president. "The forecasts that we present are conservative and in line with current performance. If, however, per- stream costs drop faster than anticipated, we have quicker acceptance of IPTV, or improvements in 3G delivery take place faster than expected, it could blow the doors off of our forecasts, propelling this industry into explosive growth," Rosenberg continues.
Insight's report examines the following market drivers: licensing issues, broadband Internet access, mass-market demand, and enterprise usage. Forecasts include revenues for the US market by network services, including digital rights management (DRM), encoding, and performance measurement; and by content services, including advertising, music on-demand, Internet radio and video on-demand.
