Recently I coined the term Tribalpreneur.

The idea came to me on a bike ride.

I was thinking to myself that many of the people who consider themselves to be an entrepreneur are ONLY focused on how can they sell more of a product or service, and who they can find to buy from them.

And too many would be entrepreneurs just have an all around air about them that says… “How can I get more for ME?”

This is why many new businesses fail.

Most new startups are focusing on building a customer base around their offering when they should be focused on building an offering around a group of people that share a common interest “A Tribe”. Determine the needs of the tribe by listening and asking questions, and then serve them quality solutions.

For the most part marketing has been a one way conversation. Blah Blah Blah in your face until you buy something. This is all changing with Social Media. If your marketing does not include the voice of the Tribe, you are on your way out. Period! Now before I digress into a rant the purpose of this post is to share a few observations about SEO and Google Indexing as it relates to the search term Tribalpreneur.

As of August 23rd, 2009 there was not a single content listing on Google for the term Tribalpreneur.

As of today there are more than 60.

Very seldom do you get to see clean Google search listings for a term that prior to two weeks ago, did not exist.

So it has been interesting to see which of the sites (where I have mentioned the term) are ranking at the top. In other words, which sites get all the Google love.

And since I have been checking it daily, I have also been able to see which listings were indexed the fastest.

And the top ten search listings for tribalpreneur on Google are…

1. Tribalpreneur | Facebook – At the very top is the facebook group that I created called tribalpreneur

2. Jesse Jameson on Twitter – Next is a digg.com digg from a blog post that I made on one of my other blogs at www.meetingwiththemasters.com

3. Tribalpreneur | Jesse Jameson’s Blog – Finally a site that I own… Its a comment listing on my own personal blog.

4. Jesse Jameson’s Blog – Another link to my blog

5. Search for “site:meetingwiththemasters.com” – Another Digg listing

6. What the heck is a Tribalpreneur? – Yet Another Digg Listing

7. Jessejameson.com – Jesse Jameson – Internet Marketing School - A Domaintools.com search listing on my blog domain

8. Jesse Jameson (Jesse_Jameson) on Twitter – A Twitter post from my twitter account that leads to my twitter profile

9. The Jesse Jameson Show on USTREAM: All things Marketing, Internet – My profile on Ustream

10. TwitPwr – Short URLs for Twitter with Analytics and user profile pages – My TwitPwr Profile

Now it is important to note that I have not attempted to do any search engine optimization.

All 60 plus listings are the result of mentioning the term in my profiles, creating a Facebook Group, writing a few blog posts, and sending a few tweets.

As you can see, the search engines are listening, and the Social Media websites have a very loud voice.

What do these results tell me? Well one of the gems is that the next time you launch a product, or do a promotion of any kins… Consider creating a Facebook Group about it.

Another is… Don’t discount the reach and SEO love of Digg.com
