To repeat, the more respected the resource you are posting on, the higher quality your posts should be.

For example, Squidoo and Hubpages are well respected and you should make these high-quality, silver sites.

High quality, original content isn't always about writing articles.

Let's use Karsten (blue sky) as an example...He has a gold site about Ireland and has created 300+ resources in his network to help promote the gold site.

He needs a high quality idea for a Squidoo, and comes up with a lense listing screen savers about Ireland...many of these are Karsten's own screen savers. But he spends time researching and finding Irish Screensavers to create a quality lense.

Then using the screensavers he made, Karsten submits them to all the screensaver directories, getting more links.

Since Camtasia is now free, Karsten uses the same images for the screen savers to create slide show videos to upload to all the video directories...He adds some irish jokes/quotes to the pics, some royalty free background music and here's another potential traffic source.

Now Karsten can create another site/blog about his favorite Irish videos...If you know what I mean.

And Karsten's ScreenSaver and Irish Video pages get bookmarked a few times...

Not only has Karsten created additional white hat content, added to his blog network, he also has created other marketing possibilities with the screensavers and videos.

Not only do creating screensavers and videos allow for them to be submitted to the various directories (getting good one way links), screen savers allow for follow up, desktop marketing.

You can put your URL on your screen savers, sell them, use them to promo your sites and more...

Videos can go viral and you can brand your URL throughout the video.

Once Karsten gets all sorts of traffic, he can start a "Irish Flickr" where folks upload pics only of Ireland and create a link laundering site.

Think about how you can create products that create content that create more marketing potential.
