I think they should go ahead and just retire all of these buzz words in the top 10. It is too hard to just pick one to retire. I am a bit surprised by some of the other options you have to vote for.

I’m happy that the phrase “that’s what she said” didn’t make it into the top 10 because I am addicted to saying that phrase for the last 3 years lol. I am guilty of saying some of the things in the current top 10, but I wouldn’t mind seeing these words go away.
Till then,

Remember these are all in good fun. The entire list was crowdsourced and the top 10 were the highest vote “getters.” If nothing else, you can put these words on a list not to be used in press releases.

That’s true Sarah, good point.
As far as my voting mentality… I kinda of voted for recession just because I want the recession to be gone, I am sure a few others might of had the same mentality when voting for similar words.
Till then,

Maven? The word “Maven” should be retired? But I AM the Maine PR Maven! Oh, woe is me. I don’t want to be retired. I’m still at the top of my game here. I was having a good day until I read this blog post.

Once you have got your first link and ad done start promoting through the usual sources like forums, social networks, blogs and traffic exchanges. When anybody clicks on your link the page will load with a slide up ad from the footer, it will display an ad along with an image that has your affiliate ID which takes the visitor to Web Traffic Flow, this way you can build your downline and get credits.

I would go with web 3.0 or something beyond HTML5 will work best for creating strong buzz.
