Scott Siegrist asked:


There are many different ways you can make money on Twitter. You need to know what your business model is and how to set things up. For example, some people tweet direct affiliate links on Twitter. This is sometimes frowned upon by others, but it may not be a problem depending on the niche you are in.

Another way to make money on Twitter is more direct. You can simply tweet a link to a product you are selling. Yet another method is to tweet a link to an opt-in page so you can build a list. This list will then be full of people you can easily contact any time you want in order to make more money. Simply set up a squeeze page with a free e-book (or whatever you’d like) to give away to entice people to join your list.

Some people tweet links to their blogs or websites where they have Adsense or cost per action offers. This can be a good way to make money, depending on who the people in your niche are. Obviously, you’ll need to match the market to the product you are trying to promote. Once you do that, and add value for the people who follow you, it’ll be easier than ever for you to make sales!

Of course, it’s important to realize that the more traffic you have, the more visitors and sales you are likely to get. That is why, in addition to networking and marketing, it’s important to focus on getting as many followers as possible. In previous parts of this series we discussed ways to get more followers. Hopefully you are still making that your mission, as it is very important. The more followers you have, the easier things will be for you to make money online!

It’s important to test and track things as well. You may find that certain types of links work well on Twitter and others do not, depending on the niche you are involved in. People in one niche might respond to affiliate offers better, while people in another niche might respond to joining an opt-in list more readily.

Doing a little bit of market research and seeing what other people in your niche do is a great way to earn more money on Twitter. Who knew that such a fun social networking tool could be such a profitable money generator? Many people are earning full-time incomes on Twitter, so it’s time for you to join that trend today.

Seobreakdown : Search Engine Optimization One of the tips how to boost up your traffic for free or paying as little as 13 dollars. (www.seobreakdown.com)

 

Up to this point we have talked about general strategies and tips in search engine optimization for you to get your site indexed by yahoo, google and msn crawlers. Probably you think by now that all your hard work that you did finding right domain, proper keywords, crucial content, design and necessary HTML tags is over. You are right and you are wrong. So far you have managed to incorporate basic techniques in search engine optimization breakdown, which everybody else on the internet is currently using. You real hard work starts now.

You want the crawlers to see that your website is functional and people actually visit it, and to do that in one way is to generate traffic artificially to your website. It is one of the most important principals. There are a lot of companies that can do that for cheap targeted fee or for monthly service (which will be more expensive). And I will get back to that in my next articles, where I will introduce companies that can do web traffic for reasonably small fee.

But for now let’s talk about traffic exchange. Traffic exchange is a unique possibility to attract free traffic to your website, there are couple of sites that deal with that, one is (my favorite) www.trafficg.com , which I highly recommend to everybody. You can register for free and start adding your site for exchange. And what happens is that you can surf for credits, by visiting people’s websites. If you spend 30 seconds on one site you earn a credit, and those are the credits that you can use for other people to visit yours in exchange.

Great? Well idea is always tempting and sounds marvelous, but the reality is different. You have to spend 30 seconds on each site, you have to visit 50 website to get approximately 50 credits, which will be approximately 30 minutes. It is only great for those who have the luxury to spend that time. I tried to do it at my work and it took me hours. So the advice is if you use trafficg try to retire before that. Otherwise you are good to go and use it, it is absolutely free.

For the category mentioned above like me, which is a hard-working class I recommend buying credits at trafficg it is only 13 dollars per 1000 visitors, where it will take you days to generate that kind of credit amount. Whereas people dedicated to the exchange can only spend 8 hours to get 1000 credits. So choose whatever works for you and use that search engine optimization technique. You will see how fast will you increase in organic google search.

           

 

Nancy McCord asked:


Twitter is the current top “hot property” on the Web, but its popularity and how to use it has mystified many business owners. Many people think that they want to, or should be using Twitter, but simply do not understand the platform, its use, or its place in building web exposure. This article will demystify Twitter and help you to learn how to use it in the workplace and to promote your business.

First, I have to say that I had been confused on how to use Twitter to benefit my own business until I downloaded TweetDeck. TweetDeck is a desktop application that allows you to review and post status updates on Twitter and Facebook simultaneously. I consider it a “must have” application for anyone who wants to make sense of Twitter. TweetDeck allows you to sort the people you follow on Twitter into groups, allows you to limit the number of Tweets (Twitter micro posts) to be shown at any one time, and also allows you to remove all Tweets you have seen with one click. Additionally, using TweetDeck, finally a Twitter search on a topic makes sense.

Since using TweetDeck, I have had a much better Twitter experience. As a Twitter newbie, visiting your own Twitter home page is intimidating; it consists of post after post from people who you are following, who you may not know much about, and it just seems like a huge volume of content. To get started effectively first group the people who actually have something interesting to say on TweetDeck and voila, you have a powerful tool that keeps you at the forefront of what is happening in your industry and on the Web.

So how do you get started with Twitter? Well the first thing is to start on Twitter yourself to understand what you like to read, who you like to follow, and to clearly identify what you like about Twitter. For me, it boils down to this: I like to follow people in my industry who say something of value, who provide a link to a new application or point me to an interesting new article, video, or blog site that I should review but may have never have found myself. Based on what I like, and the people who I find interesting to read, I now write my Twitter posts using this same formula to grow my own Twitter audience.

What I also like about Twitter is that the people who I follow also know how to show their true personality in their Tweets. Ye,s I do like to know what Danny Sullivan (famous search engine marketing guru) ate for lunch, but better yet is the link to the video he thought was funny. I love following Ashton Kutcher (movie star married to Demi Moore who just hit 1 million Twitter followers in April). Man, that guy is really funny and is having a ball with Twitter. His posts are great and he has just earned the status of the user with the most followers. This is why you can’t hire someone to “Ghost Twitter” for you. It’s about showing the real you – you can’t fake that!

So how can you use Twitter for business? Twitter is an excellent tool for linking and this is the real value for businesses. By using Twitter to point people to content on your website, articles you have written either on or off your website, or by linking to a service you want to highlight, you drive traffic. On top of that, Google actually indexes Twitter and so your Twitter page can appear in the organic search results so make sure your bio is well thought out. Don’t waste time using Twitter to point to blog posts, use TwitterFeed to post your blog posts directly onto Twitter. If you have a blog or website, you’ll get new Twitter followers by posting your TwitterFeed right onto your web pages. People who may not have known your Twitter ID can simply click the bottom “follow me link” and start following you on Twitter.

What’s important to be successful in using Twitter is to identify what you personally like about this new media and then deliver the same type of things that you like back to your own followers – work to provide value not drivel! So you’ve got to play with Twitter and learn how to use it first before you can really become successful with it for your business.

So how do you get followers? Well, I started by following everyone (who I found by doing a Twitter search) who had the last name McCord. Then I searched for web design, search engine optimization, and pay per click. Any site profile that looked good, I clicked to follow the writer. It was that easy. Many times people who you follow yourself will choose to follow you. That’s how you initially build up your Twitter base. Over time you will start to identify your “Twitter voice” and refine the type of Twitter presence you want to have by changing your content style and the things that you Tweet about. As you refine your presence, you will build a following.

Another cool Twitter use is that you can reply to any of your followers by simply putting an @ in front of their Twitter ID. For example to send something to my attention use @mccordweb at the very front of your Twitter posting and click enter. Just remember that this post is seen by all followers on my site and on your Twitter site. If you need a more private exchange, go to the direct message link on the Twitter.com site and select a follower by Twitter ID name and send your message from there. This note will be private. If you are using TweetDeck you can click on a follower’s Twitter ID icon and then select to send a direct message or @reply to them. TweetDeck will automatically insert the correct syntax for you in the Tweet.

For many businesses the ability for users to communicate with top management using Twitter is an invaluable resource. This one-to-one exchange allows a company principal to keep tabs on customer viewpoints, concerns, and interests. As a Twitter reply or direct mail does not use email and does not require a response, this is a great way to tap into social networking to test new ideas and to ask for user feedback. For example, if you have a new software product ask your Twitter followers for feedback on a specific feature, or provide a link to your beta version for their testing.

How you use Twitter is all about your personal business needs. The best advice that I can offer to you is that you need to use Twitter a bit yourself first to understand the medium and to find out what you like to read best using Twitter. Then, create your own Twitter network sharing information that you find interesting and have some fun.

Currently I am following 204 people and 183 people are following me on Twitter. Personally I find Twitter great fun and a very cool way to find out first what’s happening in the world before you see it on TV, read it on the Web, or see it in the newspaper. That’s the real power of Twitter; you share, you find out, and you know, all by a person-to-person exchange of information.

For those of you clicking in from my e-newsletter the rest of the content on Twitter applications and uses follows.

Below are some of the Twitter applications that I like and use regularly for my business.

Twuffer – I love this one, it is a Twitter post scheduler. Some people feel that Twuffer defeats the immediacy of Twitter posts or Tweets, but I like it as I will schedule Tweets on days that I am not blogging to keep my followers advised of things I find important. It is easy to use, allows you to Tweet ahead, and lets you select a posting schedule by day and time. If you are pushing content on a service or product this is an excellent tool to use. Set your Tweets up one week or one month at a time and feed your content to readers in addition to your regular Tweets. Make sure to use www.TinyUrl.com to change any long URLs you point to in the Tweet to a Twitter-friendly short version to save space.

Twitter Feed – This is another one of my top favorites. TwitterFeed allows me to show my blog posts from “The Web Authority” directly onto Twitter. It also allows me to post my Tweets back on my blog (by installing a widget) in my blog template – very cool cross interaction! I pick up many Twitter followers with this technique. Readers come to visit my blog and then choose to follow me on Twitter.

Twitter Grader – This one is a vanity application that allows you to see where you stack up against other Twitter users. Twitter Grader measures the power of a Twitter user based on followers, number of updates, and posting frequency.

 

TweetBeep – With this application, you can manage your online Twitter reputation. Alerts will be emailed to you whenever a Twitter user Tweets about your business, name, or domain. You select the alert criteria and what to watch for using TweetBeep. This is great for a business that is concerned about branding and online identity. PR professionals should make sure to use this tool to watch for comments about their clients.

Twitoria – Clean up your Twitter followers by finding out which people never use Twitter or post infrequently so you can delete them right from the Twitoria interface.

 Qwitter – If you want to know when someone stops following you, sign up for this service. Actually, this can be an excellent tool to find out what a reader hated that you posted about and caused them to “chop” you, so you can fine tune your message. If you get a flood of drops after a Tweet, it allows you to learn that people don’t like a certain type of Tweet – instant feedback at an anonymous level!

One big thing about Twitter that I have not even mentioned yet but is actually one of Twitter’s best features is the ability to text-in Tweets from your mobile phone. Although you can’t easily link to great content typically on the fly like this, the ability to connect with others without being tethered to a computer is an opportunity to show the “real you”. Maybe your followers do want to know what you are eating for lunch or about a seminar you just attended, just be kind and don’t vomit out Twitter spam using your Blackberry on meaningless drivel.

You can easily set up the ability to receive text messages from your Twitter account to your cell or Blackberry, but be careful as you may be inundated if you have a large following. I would recommend receiving Twitter updates via text message to your cell only from a small group. For example if you have a project team, set up a Twitter account for each member to allow them to post just to this small unique circle of team members. The value to track and interact with each other at anytime and anywhere using Twitter by computer or by cell phone adds real value for work groups and teams – particularly team managers. Twitter even allows you to make this type of group private.

Another feature of Twitter is the ability to add hashtags in front of keywords in your Tweets to help with sorting to allow others to find your important content. For example if you wanted to Tweet about a recent earthquake in LA you would use #laearthquake in the front of your Tweet.  By using hashtags you enable Twitter to return your information for topic searches on newsworthy Tweets. You can visit Hashtags.org for more information on the current hot hashtags that are in use for today so you can follow, add to the topic, or create your own. For example in Twitter World, Fridays are the day you post with #followfriday and enter in the Twitter IDs you want to recommend to others.  You would be amazed at the cool new people you can follow and interact with from recommendations of the people you follow.

In conclusion, Twitter is one of the hottest new mediums to arrive on the Internet scene since Facebook. Although it is not exactly “new”, Twitter has just recently become very high profile. If you are in business, Twitter definitely warrants your attention. Not only is it a very smart new tool to use in your marketing arsenal, but I think that the more you use it you will grow to love it and find it fun to use. The ways that you can use Twitter are endless:  for teams, for family members, for business networking, to stay at the forefront of news, to promote yourself and your services, and to just have fun connecting with others online. Just remember you can’t really make sense of Twitter for business without using TweetDeck or another similar aggregating and sorting application.

Acne is a serious problem and it is not fun. Now you can be Acne Free in 3 Days!

Stacey Zimmerman asked:


are using Twitter, you may be wondering why you need to buy twitter followers for. What is wrong with getting them the old fashioned way? Why pay for followers when you can get them for free with a little elbow grease? There is nothing wrong with wanting to do things this way! Some people want to do this for their own reasons. It is just really dependent upon your business, and what you are trying to accomplish with your business. Sometimes it is not feasible to spend a lot of money to purchase a following.

If you are keeping up with your tweets, keeping updated content and being active and interactive then you should not have any trouble with keeping up and getting new followers. However, if you are in a high growth business and need to buy twitter followers, then that would be a legitimate recourse for you and your business. It is also legal and morally ethical. So there shouldn’t be any trouble to do this especially when your business depends upon many different followers to grow your business. So this would be a logical course of action.

However, there is nothing wrong with doing things the other way and not having to buy twitter followers. You can be doing all the right things and develop your following without having to resort to purchasing a following. Sometimes this can also feel like cheating and you can run into trouble with not having niche qualified followers which will definitely put a big dent in your wallet, which is what you are trying to avoid in the first place. This is also dependent upon where you purchase the following for Twitter. Some places may not be reputable. However, the two that are known seem to be reputable.

So the choice of whether or not you buy twitter followers really depends upon your point of reference, your financial state and what type of business that you are running. While there is no trouble with doing this, others would prefer to start their following with a following based on Twitter participation. Either way is good but it is left up to the reader to decide for themselves which would be the best course of action for themselves and their business. The decision is totally in the reader’s hands as to what steps they will take.

With that being said, there is nothing wrong with wanting to buy twitter followers. It is merely a personal and business choice as whether or not to step on that particular stone in the pathway of business. To buy or not to buy is the question here! The choice is completely up to you. Either way is both acceptable and legal. No matter which path you may choose, you are making the decision based upon what is right for you and/or your business. So no matter which path that you choose, you will do what you need to do in order to make the most of using Twitter.

Even If Your Spouse or Lover Has Been Having an Affair..You’ll Bring Them Back

Darlene Siddons asked:


Twitter has taken the internet with a storm, everywhere you look, everywhere you search everyone is sending twits and is twittering. The question is, is this worth the time and effort to get involved in? The answer to this question is, yes.

 l. Twitter is a free social networking site where you post what they call tweets, it gives you the ability to keep in touch with hundreds maybe thousands of people on a daily and sometimes hourly basis with current events and information. Twitter is also called a micro-blogging service that allows users to post short messages of text of not more than 140 characters or about 25 words and share them with your “followers”. Tweets can be posted via the web site, text messages from a cell phone or any of the various third-party applications designed to work with Twitter.

2. These messages are posted to your profile or your blog, sent to your followers, and are searchable on Twitter search. Twitter offers many ways to post updates, from the web in the update box, from your phone, from your mobile web browser using Twitter.com. After you click the follow button on someone’s profile, you’re following them. The follow button will change to a box that says “Following” with a drop down option to remove a person if you want to. See a list of people you’re following by clicking on the following link on your profile or your home page’s sidebar.

3. All you need to use Twitter is an internet connection or a mobile phone. To get an idea of what other people are saying or doing on Twitter you can search by keyword or just check out the trending topics to what’s hot on Twitter right now. If you’ve registered your phone with Twitter, you can set up text preferences for a person as well; Twitter sends you an email when someone new follows you.

4. What does it mean to follow someone on Twitter? Following someone simply means receiving their Twitter updates. When you follow someone, every time they post a new message, it will appear in your Twitter home page. Twitter offers other ways to follow people too: you can get updates from certain people on your phone. When you create an account, you can search for people by name or user name, import friends from other networks, or invite friends via email. Once you’ve found your friends or business associates, follow them to start getting their updates. New messages are added to your home page as people post them, so you always get the updates in real time. When you log in, you can see what the latest updates are.

5. Everyone can view your Twitter profile as it is public by default, if you’re hesitant to have strangers read your updates, you can protect your profile by selecting approved followers and keep your updates out of search. There are spammers on Twitter and it is encouraged for you to block them, and every one on Twitter will thank you for that. It is good to know that Twitter Support keeps an eye on block reports to see who is getting in trouble on Twitter.

6. Miscellaneous Twitter trivia: Oprah is now on Twitter and it is said she is posting her own Twitters; Ashton Kutcher became the first Twitter user to have one million followers; Twitter users can gather, meet and socialize while raising money for charity; it has been said that if they hear the word ‘Twitter’ one more time they are going to go virtual postal and the same goes for Tweet, Tweetted, Twittering and Tweeter; Britney Spears and many of your favorite celebrities are active Twitter members; why is there a star at the end of updates?. The star is a way for you to mark an update as favorite.

7. As in any social setting there are certain common courtesies and Twittiquete one should keep in mind; and on Twitter it is no different, some people take the “What are you doing?” question a little too literal, and also fill the site with 20 updates a day. Learn the etiquette on Twitter and be a fun and interesting Twitterer and find out how much great information is out there and what your favorite followers are doing without being obnoxious.

8. Last but not least, Twitter is great for marketing and finding information that is useful for your personal empowerment and/or improvement, this can include building your business and the use of vision mapping to manifest the business you intend to improve and/or develop into what you want for it to be. Vision mapping is a great visualization tool to manifest your hearts desires and the tool to use for this is Vision Map Videos, it is said that if you watch your video once a day for 30 days you will see every area of your life and/or business being created the way you visualize it.

If you haven’t joined the Twitter micro-blogging world, now is the time to start, but do beware, it can be addictive.

New York Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a concept that more and more organizations are rapidly incorporating in their websites, so as to improve the site’s position in the search engine results page. This concept can guarantee higher traffic for a website, thus improving the site’s sales and profit potential. The SEO concept works well for the websites of both big and small businesses.

New York Search Engine Optimization: Tips

To benefit from the concept of search engine optimization, organizations need to take into consideration the following aspects to connect with people searching for the products and services offered by them:

Optimize keywords

Organizations can benefit from the SEO concept only if they are using keywords that are relevant to their business. To identify the relevant keywords, companies need to think from the perspective of their target customer about the keywords that s/he would type while searching for the specific business. One can jot down all the key-phrases and keywords that come to mind. These words should become a part of your site’s keywords.

Provide unique and relevant title and meta description for all web pages

Titles are pointers to the relevance of a website to the keywords used in a search engine. A vague title, such as Home Page, is not indicative of the contents of the page to a search engine. These web pages would not be given priority when a search is conducted. Moreover, even if a web surfer views the webpage among the search results, s/he would not be able to gauge the content of the site without opening it. This would adversely impact the number of people willing to click on the link and visit the site.

Build a sitemap of the website and submit it on search engines

A sitemap is quite simply a map of the website. For websites that are new or have still not been discovered by search engines, a sitemap is the easiest way to let them know about everything the site has.

Make use of an analytic program to analyze and improve a site

An analytic program, such as Google Analytics, allows companies to track activity on their websites. These programs enable organizations to recognize the behavior of their target audience and visitors. This helps organizations to optimize their site to suit their requirements.

Choose an SEO company wisely

While considering which SEO company to choose for their business, organizations should avoid making a decision purely on the recommendations written on the website of the SEO company. Companies must do their own research in the industry and must remain far from SEO firms that guarantee rankings and boast of a “special relationship” with Google.

Long gone are the days when a company could simply build a website and expect it to perform well. This is especially true in the world of e-commerce and on-line sales, where competition can be fierce. In modern times every website launched will need to take advantage of the services offered by a search engine optimisation(SEO) firm to ensure its ultimate success. However what about those business owners who are not able to afford the services of an SEO professional at first? Surely there are some basic steps that can be taken to ensure that a website is optimized for search engines? Below we will present some basic search engine optimization tips for the layman.

Domain name and URL – Always make sure that your domain name is indicative of the services you offer. Quite simply an online camera store using the domain name wesellstuff.com would do far less well than one which employed the domain name camerasforsale.com if both were the same age and had the same amount of promotion and SEO performed on them. In a similar fashion it is important that the page URLs within the site structure are relevant. Using the camera shop as an example again http://www.camerasforsale.com/discount_slr_cameras.htm would be far better than http://www.camerasforsale.com/cams?123.

META data – All page titles, META descriptions and META tags should be 100% relevant to the pages. Page titles are especially important and fall a close second behind the domain name and URL structure in being the most effective SEO techniques to use. When it comes to the META keywords do not be tempted to stuff this string with too many keywords. Keep the list of key phrases short and always remember that the most weight is given to the key phrases at the left hand end of the string, with the weight diminishing moving to the right.

Content is king – Make sure that your website content is refreshed regularly. Regular and new content is the best way to keep the search engines coming back to index your site, as well as ensuring that the likes of Google, Yahoo and MSN see your website as not being stagnant, hence more likely to be returned higher in the search engine ranking position. Fresh content is also a great way to gain new visitors and hopefully a good selection of organic backlinks over time.

Start link building – One of the main tasks performed by a search engine organization company is the building of backlinks. These links directly affect how popular the major search engines deem your site to be. This in turn affects the likelihood of your site being returned high in search engine results.

So there we have it, three very simple tips designed to give the SEO layman a few ideas upon how best to tackle top level SEO for any website. Although these tips only scratch the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the techniques employed by a professional search engine optimisation firm, they are among the most successful techniques employed.
