Cybasumo.com Launches E-Commerce Solution Created Specifically for Artists on Social Networks

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 4, 2008

CybaSumo.com today officially launched the first ecommerce solution for artists and other creators on social networks. Makers of photography, video, music, digital art, eBooks, and fashion can easily market and sell a wide variety products right on Facebook, MySpace, WordPress blogs and any HTML website.

Founded by Web entrepreneurs Dag Gogue and Francis Davidson, CybaSumo gives sellers a storefront and a portable widget they can take with them to their social networks so they can earn money from various types of creative and artistic products.

“CybaSumo gives social networkers a powerful new way to translate their online reputations and Internet contacts into a viable business model,” said Dag Gogue, co-founder of CybaSumo. “We are creating a new marketplace for a new generation of artists and other creators — a generation fed up with the hassles and fees of sites such as eBay that don’t address their unique needs.”

At http://www.cybasumo.com, sellers can sign up for their own personalized storefront. Anyone visiting CybaSumo.com can browse the hundreds of stores in different categories. CybaSumo takes the concept one step further with the ‘portable store’ — a Flash widget sellers can embed into their social network pages. The seller’s contacts can then click on the widget and have immediate access to the owner’s unique storefront without leaving the social networking site.

“CybaSumo is suited for digital and tangible creations,” said Francis Davidson, CybaSumo’s other co-founder. “Purchasers can download digital goods right away, or order tangible items for shipping. Sellers can list fashion items, and more goods are coming, such as t-shirts, caps, mugs. The possibilities are endless.”

Browsing, previews, and the shopping cart are handled within the widget, so the prospective shopper does not need to leave the widget until it’s time to check out. CybaSumo has been designed to be very easy to use and customize, unlike other complicated store management and catalog systems. The site handles everything from catalog management, previews, software updates, billing, to digital order fulfillment — leaving sellers to focus on creating new works.

“Social networks are one of the most powerful tools on the Internet, and creative individuals need tools to leverage social networks’ massive influence,” Davidson said. “It can be hard to stand out, but we’re here to help make business sense of it all in a profitable way – for sellers and for us.”

About CybaSumo

CybaSumo.com is a site for artists and other creatives to sell their work where their friends and fans congregate – social networks. Formed by combining the Latin words cyba for “merchant” and sumo for “to buy,” CybaSumo gives users an easy-to-use, cost-effective method to profit from Facebook, MySpace, blogs and any Web site.

Fake Facebook Accounts, Fake Romney Followers: The Underground Economy of Social Networks

Campbell, CA (PRWEB) August 03, 2012

Barracuda Networks, a leading provider of security, networking and data protection solutions, today released findings from Barracuda Labs most recent study, “The Underground Economy of Buying Twitter Followers: Dealers, Abusers and Fake Accounts.” The study analyzes a random sampling of more than 70,000 fake Twitter accounts that are being used to sell fake Twitter followers. The study also analyzed some of the people that are using such fake followers including the recent example of U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romneys Twitter account.

Between Facebooks 10-Q filing stating that 83 million of its accounts are fake (1), to Mitt Romneys Twitter account recently falling under scrutiny for suspicious followings (2), fake social network profiles are a hot topic at the moment. And these fake profiles are at the center of a very vibrant and growing underground economy. This underground economy consists of Dealers who create and sell the use of thousands of fake social accounts, and Abusers who buy follows or likes from these fake accounts to boost their perceived popularity, sell advertising based on their now large social audience or conduct other malicious activity.

Fake users should be a huge concern to both Facebook and Twitter because of the threat they create to user trust, online security and the overall community feeling of the social networks, said Dr. Paul Judge, chief research officer at Barracuda Networks. This obviously threatens advertising revenue as organizations begin to question the true visibility and reach of their ad campaigns.

Study Overview

Barracuda Labs began this research in May 2012, setting up three Twitter accounts and purchasing between 20,000 and 70,000 Twitter followers for each from eBay and other websites. The study analyzes a random sampling of more than 70,000 fake Twitter accounts that are being used to sell fake Twitter followers.

Highlights of the study include:

New Automotive Advertising Network Puts Dealers On Top Of Search Engines and Social Networks

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2010

The Automotive Advertising Network was launched at the Digital Dealer Conference in Orlando, Florida, this week. The Automotive Advertising Network(AAN) is the first dealer powered advertising network that provides members with unlimited leads and online promotion of their inventory on national, regional and local websites that are strategically positioned to appear on top of the most popular search engines, social networks and blogs.

The network was created by industry veterans Brian Pasch, Sean Wolfington and David Boice to help dealers generate more leads for less cost. The member dealers are using their collective power to compete with 3rd party lead providers who historically have had a big advantage on the search engines because of their national footprint and corresponding search authority. The networks advertising technology gives dealers broader exposure for their new and used inventory online by helping them appear where customers start their shopping process search engines and social media Web sites like Facebook, said Pasch.

It is very difficult for dealers to come up on top of the search engines for these phrases because there are many lead providers competing for the same 10 results on the first-page, explained Wolfington. “The network has the national and regional search authority so our vehicles appear on top of the results in our market,” said Brian Benstock, GM of Paragon Honda/Acura, the #1 selling Honda/Acura dealer in the world. “All of our vehicles that are listed on the network link back to our dealership website so our website gets more traffic and relevance on search engines because we inherit the search authority of the network.”

“Many third-party lead providers sell the same leads to multiple dealers and this hurts the closing ratio and average gross profit because many dealers are chasing the same lead,” said Benstock. “The network gives us exclusive leads that are not sold to other dealers so the closing ratio is a lot higher.” “Dealers prefer leads that are not sold to multiple dealers because they generate better returns,” said David Boice.

The Automotive Advertising Network gives local dealers a national footprint to increase their authority so they appear ahead of the lead providers for popular national and regional search phrases. The network helps us dominate search results for every day search phrases that are the bread and butter for organic traffic and first party leads, said Timothy Martell, Internet Director of the Albrecht Group in Massachusetts.

We have a smart strategy to optimize our own Web site to appear on top for local search, but the network helps us reach people who type in the more popular national and regional search phrases like Toyota recall, added Alex Snyder from Checkered Flag Toyota in Virginia Beach. The Automotive Advertising Network powers hundreds of consumer sites that are optimized to appear on Google Page One for the most popular national and regional search phrases like “Boston Dealers”, a phrase that receives over 20,000 consumer searches a month.

All our cars are available for consumers to see on CarDealerSale.com and the hundreds of regional and local sites that have top position on the search engines, Snyder said. The ad network is our best new source of leads because they have a high closing ratio and are inexpensive because we pay a flat fee no matter how many leads we receive, said Jon Sherrell, Internet Director at the Rairdon Group in Washington state.

Participating dealers pay a small membership fee to join the Automotive Advertising Network ($ 995). And they receive:
