1. Use Google Blog Search and search on the title for a very successful book in your genre. What the search returns will be blogs that have mentioned, reviewed or featured the book. Make your own pitch list from this as well. In your own email pitch to the blogger, say something like, “I know that you recently reviewed “Freakonomics” and was hoping you might review my book as well. My book is similar to this one in terms of “FILL IN BLANK HERE.”
2. Don’t forget to look for book discussion groups on the Web as well. Don’t just think blogs. Think forums and book groups online. Read about this group that just formed in the UK.
3. Or look at these groups – Booktalk.org and Bookbrowse.com
4. Check out the ALA information to find more book clubs and book groups at libraries.
5. You absolutely must join Shelfari.com and Goodreads.com and for good karma release at least one copy of your book on Bookcrossing.com.

I highly recommend that you become familiar with how Google’s newly launched SideWiki[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsjJOsx84MA[/youtube] works. It gives folks an incredible amount of power in terms of becoming a new army of “sidewikians” that will “sidegraffitize” the whole Web. Ok, maybe that’s a little too scary sounding.
It does however make it more interesting in terms of content on the Web, how Web 2.0 is continuously democratizing content on the Web and what will happen in the future.
For instance, if you’re a blogger who doesn’t allow comments on your blog, this will actually provide a workaround for folks to still be able to comment on your site. What the Friday??!!! Yep. Don’t be afraid, but check it out so you can stay aware of it.
Be brave you can catch this SideWiki tiger by the tail and use it for the greater good!!!

Google has announced the release of its data driven newest initiative to take over the Web world. The offering will be formally released at the end of month according to Marissa Mayer, Google’s VP of search products and user experience.
It will be interesting to see how this impacts SEO and search phrases in the long run and I’m pretty sure all the math geeks (my husband included) are taking time out from their group viewings of Star Trek and rejoicing at this new tool for data search.
Go Google Go.
