Tips + news about Internet marketing, promotion, advertising, SEM, SEO, analytics

Smoochr, which I wrote about in a previous post, has had its categories updated. Instead of a broad range of categories covering entertainment, lifestyle, travel, business, etc., the categories have been narrowed down to cover only entertainment and celebrity topics. It’s considered a supplement to Lipstick, which focuses only on celebrity topics.

Smoochr started out as a custom-coded celebrity + fashion/ style voting site but was updated recently to include several other categories. The current category list is as follows:

1. Auto
2. Business - business, entrepreneurship, finance, money, debt
3. Celebrity
4. Health - health, fitness
5. Movies - non-made for TV movies
6. TV - TV shows, TV movies, Internet TV
7. Travel

Additional categories might be added at a later time. For now, if you have websites that fall into the above categories, go register then start submitting your best content. Have friends register and vote as well.

Note that Smoochr is still inbetween alpha and beta mode, so there are features to be fixed. Use the “Contact Us” link at the very bottom of any page to drop a comment.
