From your Dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Marketing Settings” » “Sociable settings”

Don’t let these sociable icons be confused with the Social Bookmark Robot or the RSS Subscription Icons. The sociable icons are actually used by your visitors to “bookmark” a particular article on their favorite Social Bookmarking site.

Selecting your Sociable settings

First you’ll need to decide which icons you’d like to provide to your visitors. There are so many options available it is difficult to say which ones are best. Some are very niche specific, whereas some are more general. The top 5 that we recommend are “del.icio.us”, “digg”, “furl”, “netscape”, “MyYahooWeb”. I tend to pick the Sociable Icons that I have signed up for in my Social Bookmarking Robot also.

To select or unselect an icon, simply click on it. You can change they order they appear in by clicking-and-dragging to move the icons around.

Sociable icon heading

Next you can change the “heading” for your sociable icons. The default is “Share and Enjoy:” but you can change that to whatever you wish.

Positioning of the Sociable icons

Lastly, you’ll determine where these sociable icons show up. You can have them show up in any of the areas listed. Simply “check” or “uncheck” your selections.

From your dashboard, go to “System Settings” » “Blogging Settings” » “Comment Relish”

What is Comment Relish?

Simply put, Comment Relish is a “Thank You” card sent to your visitors the first time they post a comment on your site (which is why requiring names and emails in “Discussions” is important).

The set up is fairly simple, and again this is a “set-it-and-forget-it” feature that will work for you without having to think about it.

1. First, set “Enable Comment Relish” to “True”
2. The “Relish From Name” is your name,  your website name, or a name that your visitors will recognize quickly.
3. The “Relish From Email” is an email address that is going out to all everyone that posts a comment for the first time, so you may want to set up a separate email account just for this (but try to stay away from the free services like Yahoo or Hotmail)
4. The “Relish Subject” should be a simple headline to let your visitor know why you’re sending the email.
5. Then enter your “Relish Message.”  This will be your thank you message.  There is a list of “Available Tags” that you can use to personalize each message without having to literally “personalize” each message.For instance, you can personalize the message in the body by saying something like: Aloha %AUTHOR%.

   When the Comment Relish sends out the message, %AUTHOR% will be replaced with the person’s name.  Be sure to reference your website and the particular article they posted a comment on

Putting the Power of Auto-Links to work for you

From your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Your Site Settings” » “Auto-Links”

What is Auto-Links (aLinks)?

aLinks is a behind the scenes feature that automatically scans articles that you publish to turn your defined keyword phrases into links, in turn giving your articles a more powerful keyword boost. Depending on your settings and keyword usage, aLinks can mean a big boost to your income.

This is a “set-it-and-forget” it feature, which means once you set it up, it will keep working for you every time you hit that “publish” button. If you need any help within this module of Quan$ite™, there is a “Help” sub-menu that will outline and define the “aLinks” module.

aLinks » Settings

1. Image to display » This image is a signal to your visitors that the link is an “external” link, meaning the link will take them away from your site. You can change the default image by uploading your own image in the File Manager and entering the URL for that image in this box. This should only be 10px by 10px.
2. Open links in new window » Selecting this check box will open a new window whenever your visitors click on one of the aLinks generated links. (This is a great idea so your visitors will be able to return to your site, but too many new windows may be frustrating. Using the image display is a great way to “forewarn” your visitors).
3. Use outbound Click Tracking » Check this box if you want the system to track the “click-count”.
4. Log offset hours » Your time zone in comparison with the server. Our servers are on Eastern, US Time, so if you are in the Central timezone, you would enter -1. If you are in London, you would enter +4.
5. Amazon Basic Settings » Regardless of what you’re promoting, I can almost guarantee you can find something that enhances or supports what you’re doing. If you already have an Amazon Affiliate ID, fill it in here. If you don’t have an Amazon Affiliate account, you can apply for their affiliate program at http://associates.amazon.com
6. Deeper Blog Settings » This setting will determine how far back in your “Archives” aLinks should search for relevant posts. Setting this to more than 30 days will SLOW DOWN your system.

aLinks » Keyphrases

The Keyphrases pages can be a little intimidating when you first get there. We’ll start at the bottom and work our way up so you have a little better understanding.

One thing you want to remember is that every keyphrase needs an associated “link” that you assign to it. (Our examples below will help to define that more clearly)

1. General Keyphrases -Let’s say I have create a blog about fitness and exercise. Scott Tousignant has been such a motivating influence in my fitness and exercise goals, and I happen to be an affiliate of the products that he sells.I decide that “weight loss motivation” is the perfect keyword to help me promote his products.Under the General Keyphrases section, I will enter “weight loss motivation” as my keyphrase, Scott Tousignant as my description (as this is used to help me remember what I’ve assigned to this phrase) and http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com as the URL. I click on “Update Keyphrase” and “weight loss motivation” now appears in the “Your Keyphrases” table towards to top of the page.Now as I’m writing my articles, every time I use the phrase “weight loss motivation”, aLinks will create a link out of that phrase that will send my visitors to the UnstoppableFatloss website.
2. Amazon Basic Keyphrases Being that I’m writing primarily about fitness and exercise, and I have my Amazon affiliate id set up in the “Settings” section, there is a huge potential that links created through Amazon Keyphrases will generate an income.This area may take a little research depending on your particular niche, but if you go to Amazon and type in the keyphrase you’re considering and like the products that are being found, then that would be a good keyphrase to use.In the Amazon Basic Keyphrases section, first you’ll enter your keyphrase. This is the phrase within your article that will be “linked”.Next enter a description that will help you to remember what this keyphrase is attached to. The Search Term is what Amazon will actually use to search their products to pull up a good listing for you. You can use the same phrase here as you did for the keyphrase.

   For the Product Type, you’ll select the type of product that you want your visitors to find, i.e. books, software, DVD, Music.Once you click “Update Keyphrase”, this keyphrase will also appear in the “Your Keyphrases” table and will start being “linked” once you post.

3. Deeper Blog Keyphrases This area is where you’ll enter your personal keyword phrases in relation to your website. If you enter the keyphrase “Fitness”, aLinks will find your archived posts that appear to be related to “Fitness”. Post titles have the most relevance, therefore this is what it “scores”. The linked phrases created using this section will be links within your own site.

aLinks » Statistics

aLinks will actually help you to track the number of times certain keyphrases are clicked, allowing you to see conversions more clearly.

From your dashboard, go to “System” » “Quansite SBM-Client”.

The sooner you have this section set up, the quicker you’ll start to see some traffic. This is a KEY feature that puts the power in your site. Once you have this set up, every time you hit “publish” in the “Create” » “Write Post” section, you are sending your content to highly ranked sites. The more you add content and hit “publish”, the more your content is sent out to the bookmarking sites and the more inbound backlinks you have to help boost your Search Engine Ranking.

There are two options for the built-in Auto Social Bookmarking Robot…

Option 1: the easy way (recommended)

1. Ignore all settings toward the top of the page for now. (We’ll cover these settings below.)
2. Scroll down to the heading “Account Structure Options.”
3. Click the radio button to the right that says “Use Power Bookmarking Account (auto-set-up).”
4. Select one of the general categories listed.
5. Click the “Save Settings” button at the bottom of the page.

That’s it! You’re all set! From now on when you hit the publish button your blog posts will be automatically bookmarked for you at over a dozen popular social bookmarking sites.

How does the “easy option” work?

When you select your general category in step 4 above you are automatically added to a niche-specific account at the active social bookmarking sites. We open, setup and manage all these accounts for you. Your posts area bookmarked along-side other Quan$ite members in the same niche. Our system is setup to have a maximum of 25 members in any master account.

Benefits of the “easy option”

By selecting you’re not only saving an hour of your time for EACH post manually doing this work. You’ll automatically get three other very important benefits:

• There is no need for you to go to each of the social bookmarking sites and create a personal account for yourself. One click of the radio button takes care of it all for you!
• Since this option adds you to a managed master account with other Quan$ite members, you are NOT in violation of any social bookmark sites TOS (Terms of Service.) Most Social bookmark sites prohibit using an account to bookmark exclusively your own content.
• The managed master account with a niche focus makes it more likely that human visitors will actually find the pages bookmarked in the account a useful resource. This is because the content is from two dozen different sites. This means a much higher likelihood that actual human visitors will visit your site in addition to the search engine spiders following bookmark links.

Option 2: the hard way

OK, so why would we even offer a “hard way”?

Some members are willing to take the time to go to each of the active social bookmarking sites and set up their own personal accounts.They are willing to risk violating the TOS of the social bookmarking sites in order to have exclusively their own posts show in an account.

We must reinforce strongly that violating the TOS of the social bookmarking sites will very likely get you banned from particular sites. Plus, you are sure to turn off human visitors wo come across your bookmarking accounts because you will be positioned as purely self-promotional.

If you’d like to still go with the personal account option, here’s what you need to do:

First and foremost, sign up for all the Social Bookmarking Sites that you can that we have included in the system. You’ll find all the current sites active in the system in the drop-down menu under the heading “Bookmarking accounts.”

Other Auto-Social Bookmarking Settings

Next we’ll take a look at the other settings within the Social Bookmarking Robot.

1. Manual Tag Options This is the appearance of the tags you enter in Blog Posts or Blog Pages. The “Start Marker” refers to the “heading” of your tags and the “separator” refers to how your tags are separated.There is also the option to convert your tags to “Technorati” tags. What this will do is turn your tags into a link to Technorati. We don’t recommend this option as that will push more visitors away from your site.
2. Pre-Set Tag Options In this section you’ll notice a large text box. This is where you would enter any tags that “globally” reflect your site. The checkbox to “randomly use these pre-set tags” should be checked if your tag box contains more than 10 tags. The system will randomly choose tags from this box to include with your article posts.Below that is, again, the option to convert to Technorati tags (which we don’t recommend) and then the number of tags to include.
3. Other Posting Options This section refers to the “robot” portion and bookmarking the accounts you’ve signed up for. The first option is the number of sites to “randomly” post to. If you post 3 times a week, leave this option unselected. If you tend to post daily, you may want to select this option and have the system post to only 5 or 6 of your accounts (the accounts will be chosen by the system at random). For “Email Submission” reports, checking this option will send you an email notification on what sites your articles were submitted to and the status of that post.Last but not least, is the “bookmark future posts” option. Select this option. If you’re going on vacation and have post dated a few articles to keep your site up to date, this option will post those articles when they actually publish to your site.

From your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Your Site Settings” » “Google Analytics”

Why use Google Analytics?

You want to see who is coming to your site, and you want to know how they found you. You also want to know the keywords they used to find your site and what page they entered your site from.

While you can access some of this information in your CPanel (i.e. http://YOURDOMAIN.com/cpanel, click the Web/FTP Stats button), we highly recommend Google Analytics (https://www.google.com/analytics) for more detailed reporting.

Integrating Google Analytics with your Quan$ite Hub Site

It’s really a quick & painless process.

1. First you’ll need a Google account. If you have a gmail account, you already have a Google account. If you use Google Adwords, you already have a Google Account. If you use Google AdSense, again, you already have a Google Account.If you do not, go to Google’s home page, and in the top right corner you’ll find a link that says “Sign In”. Follow that link, then click on “Create an Account.” Follow the instructions provided.
2. Go to the Google Analytics site (https://www.google.com/analytics) to create an Analytics profile. You’ll need to provide your URL, your contact information, etc. Once this is complete, you will receive a tracking code from Google. This code is unique for the URL that you provided. It will not work with any other site.
3. Go to your Quan$ite™ domain, log into your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Your Site Settings” » “Google Analytics” — remove the current code in the text box, and paste in your new Analytics code.
4. Once you click on “Update Options” you can direct Google Analytics to confirm the tracking code. This should only take moments, although it may take up to 24 hours to view any reports.

That’s it! Your advanced tracking is now integrated with your Quan$ite Hub Site. Every blog post, blog page and Marketing PRO page you create will automatically have the necessary Google analytics codes added for you!

You’ll have all the information you need to monitor, adjust and improve your traffic, responsiveness and sales on your Hub Site.

From your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Blogging Settings” » “Article Series Options”.

What’s the In-Series option for?

The In-Series Option is a provided as a way to keep articles within a “series” together.

Let’s say you started writing an article, and instead of the short 4 or 5 paragraphs you intended, the information you’re putting together is in fact more like 20 paragraphs. The information is all relevant and useful, but it’s just too long for one post.

So, we make it a series. We break those 20 paragraphs into 4 or 5 different articles and post them individually.

What this will do is not only add more consistent content to your site, but your visitors will want to come back to read the next part of the series, and the next part. And maybe instead of checking back every day for the next in the series to be posted, they’re going to sign up in your opt-in box so they get notified by email that the next article in the series is ready for them.

The In-Series option makes it easy for your visitors to get to the other articles in the series quickly and easily, This increases satisfaction of your Tribe. It also boosts SEO (Search Engine Optimization.)

How to use the In-Series feature

We’ve covered the basics of setting up a series in Creating a Post/Article. Now we’ll cover the actual settings for the In-Series Option.

Only the first four settings should be changed.

1. Show links in single view. What this meansis if the visitor has accessed an In Series article at it’s full URL (i.e. yourdomain.com/blog/in-series-article-title/) that the links for previous and next articles in the series will show.
2. Show links in Multi-Views. If a visitor is reading your articles from the home page, or from a category listing, the links for the previous and next articles in the series will show.
3. Previous link text. This is where you’ll define what the “Previous link” should say. Remember this will be included for ALL the different series, so it should not be series specific.
4. Next link text. Same as above, except for the “next” article in the series.

As with all your headlines, your article series titles should both make sense to your visitors AND include keywords relevant to your Tribe and the actual article series.
