Will An Automated Twitter Account Result In Do More Harm Than Good? (Part One)

Accounts that automate Twitter generally is a bad idea, if overdone any way. People that are legitimately just hanging out and mingling with their pals won’t run into this problem, however, if we are attempting to use Twitter for a advertising and marketing platform it may possibly only bring failure should you over do it. Automation may work with other aspects of online marketing such as, article submission or social bookmarking. Social marketing is just that – sociable, while bookmarking is more like merely letting people know that you are out there ready to link up.

Like I said, a certain amount of Twitter automation can be fine and sometimes vital so long as it’s not over done. For instance, the main concept of marketing with Twitter is to get yourself a substantial follower base – but what benefit is it to build thousands of followers if they are college students and single parents if you are promoting relationship counseling? 500 targeted followers is much better the 50,000 untargeted followers. For that reason, bulk following or blasting software will be a bad approach. Yes they might add thousands to your account, but half of them are not interested in you and the other half have sense disappeared and not been on Twitter in many months or years. There are many paid services that will let you enter keywords and phrases and then they’ll go get targeted followers on your behalf and add them. On that note, twollo (dot) com allow you to add two keywords at no cost. More then 2, you pay.

The manual alternative for the paid websites are sites like ‘twellow’ ‘justtweetit’ and ‘whoshouldifollow’. Manually plug in a search term and get loads of choices. Not automated, but a bit of elbow grease will get you a sizable TARGETED follower base.

The next most monotonous part of a Twitter account is monitoring the new followers, following back, posting welcome messages, catching those that un-follow and maintaining a balance between followers and follow’ies. In other words – account maintenance.

This is just one of those ‘must have’ automated Twitter tools. One popular program is SocialOomph (dot) com. Once known as ‘TweetLater’ this website lets you auto follow and auto un-follow individuals. This on it’s own ıs really a enormous time saver. At the same time it enables you to immediately deliver a direct message to the new followers. This brings up another judgment question..

Just what exactly ought to be the first tweet I send my new friends?

Picture this. In real life, do you go up to a fresh potential customer and begin showing them the cool goods you have to sell? Yeh, you can, but probably not have a job as a salesman very long. Direct Message manners will go something like this:

• Never: ‘Thanks for following me, now go have a look at my $hit @ . . . ‘

• Maybe: Offer a free gift by pointing them to your squeeze page

• Better: Offer a free gift with no optin page – let the e-book steer them to you websites if they’re curious.

• If all else fails: Don’t send out a message at all! Like my mama used to say.. ‘If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.’

Personally I’m in favor of the last 2 choices.

What Makes One Search Engine Better Than the Next

admin    Google     better, Engine, Makes, Next, Search, Than

With the internet being the most useful tool one can use to search for  information on any subject in the world, do you know that there are actually a few search engines that one can use to search the internet? Google is probably the most popular search engine that people use most often. Yahoo, Ask, and Dogpile are some common names of search engines that you may find familiar. There may be some unfamiliar SE’s (search engines) that you may not have ever heard of. Bing is a new name in SE’s but is formally known as MSN Search and Live Search. With so many different companies offering their services to you to search the internet, what makes each one different or better than the rest? Here is an overview of some of the more popular SE’s on the internet.

Google Search- Google, Inc owns Google Search which was founded in 1997. It is the most frequently used search engine on the internet today. Google usually receives a few hundred million searches a day! Can you imagine, a few hundred million? This largely due to Google offering other services rather than just keyword searches. The keywords are a set of words a person types into the Google search box. Other services that Google offers are weather forecasts, synonyms, stock quotes, time zones, maps and sports scores. There are 22 special features in all. Google also has SE’s that target specific countries. In the UK, a person can search on a Google UK search engine.

Yahoo! Search- Yahoo! Search is the third most widely used search engine today. It falls behind Google Search and Bing. In the 1990’s, Yahoo! Search was transformed into a complete search engine after starting off as a web directory. A web directory is a site that list other websites and may link them categories. Keywords cannot be searched on a web directory. Available through Yahoo! Search is a UK search engine too. This is helpful when living in specific areas of the world and needing to narrow down a search.

Bing- Bing is a brand new search engine available on the internet today. . Well, not completely new because it was formally known as Live Search, MSN Search and Windows Live Search. It became available to the public on June 3, 2009 and has received some great reviews already. The main advancement that Bing has over other SE’s is that the searches are done in real time. Meaning, the keywords that are searched on give results on a real time basis. It provides a list of websites in real time opposed to a list of websites that were listed days before. That is a big plus when you are looking for the most current information you can find.

The choice is yours as to which SE you want to use to search the internet. They all basically perform the same function and that is to search out all the websites to provide you with the all information you could ever want or dream of.

How to Get Listed in Google in Less Than 48 Hours

admin    Google     Google, Hours, Less, listed, Than

Google is one of the most relevant and most widely used search engine in the world. So it makes perfect sense to have your website listed in this major search engine.

Many people pay hundreds of dollars to online companies to make sure that their website is listed on Google. But why should you pay, when you can actually do it for free? This article will show you how.

Millions of websites are submitted daily to Google, some sites are accepted and some are not. So how can you be sure that your site is listed with them? There’s no point in making a good website if you are not getting any traffic to your site. Google gives you the opportunity to get free targeted visitors who are actually looking for something specific on your website.

One of the lessons I’ve learned in getting your site listed is to optimize your website for Google. You can start doing this by firstly creating a meta tag.

A meta tag is a piece of text in the source code of a webpage in order to provide information to a search engine about the contents of the page.

You can create such meta tags using a free meta tag creator. Just fill in your page title, description and keywords and the program will generate a html code that you need to paste on your website’s html.

Now, that your website has a meta tag, search engines will now know what your website is about, therefore making it easier for them to crawl your website and list you in their search engines.

Letting the search engine know what your website‘s about is just half the work. Google will also need to know what pages you have on your website.

In order to do this, you will need to have a sitemap.

A sitemap allows a webmaster to inform search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling. A Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs for a site. It allows webmasters to include additional information about each URL. This includes information on when it was last updated, how often it changes, and how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.

You can create a sitemap using a free sitemap creator. Once you have created a sitemap, upload this xml file to your web server and submit it to your Google Webmaster account.

Now comes the most important part that you need to do. You will need to place a link to your website on websites with a high Page Rank in Google.

Page Rank is a weighted link popularity used by Google. Not all links are treated as equals and links from high Page Rank web pages help with a website’s own Page Rank. Page Rank is scored from 0 to 10 with 10 being the best. With everything else remaining equal a high Page Rank insures good performance on Google.

To search for a website’s page rank, you can use a free page rank checker. Just type in their website name and a result will appear with their Page Rank status. A website with a page rank of 4 or higher will usually have a good ranking in Google. This is why you’ll need to place YOUR website link on THEIR website so that Google will regard your website to be as important as these websites.

To do this, visit a website that is relevant to your niche or topic and check their page rank status. A good way to do this is to find forums with high a page rank. Register yourself as a member and contribute to the forum. Don’t forget to put in a signature tag with your website link at the bottom of each posting.

Other alternatives would include posting an advertisement on craigslist, a video on YouTube or a comment on facebook. All with your website link in it.

So there you go. Just follow these three simple guidelines as above and you will see your site on Google in less than 48 hours. Good luck.

Creating Inbound Links Is About More Than Just Page Rank

admin    Google     About, Creating, Inbound, just, links, more, Page, Rank, Than

I intend discuss the relevance of Google page ranking in SEO through this article. It is an accepted fact among SEOs that striving to get a top rank with the Google directory is all that matters in the long run. How far is this hypothesis correct from the point of view of a professional marketer?

Statistics reveal that of all visitors to a particular website more than 75% originate from Google! Alexa, Altavista, Earthlink, Netscape, Dogpile, AOL, MSN, Jeeves/Ask and Yahoo accounted for the remaining. That is interesting statistics to start this discussion. You may also do a check on the origin of your own visitors to be sure about the validity of my claims.

If that is the case we need to understand the parameters used by Google to give page ranking. They have a very simple but reasonable enough method. Each link is considered as a vote while deciding the value of each vote by taking into consideration the relevance of that site to your own content. Now that is an acceptable method to any logical thinker.

So, most SEOs slog to capitalize on this aspect of page ranking to increase their ratings. The most common methods involved are;

i)    Exchanging links with directories to increase the number of links that point to your own website.

ii)    Identifying directories with a high ranking as prospective link exchange partners.

There is no way to know whether the links have been purchased from link farms or from high ranking directories that capitalize on their popularity to mint money by demanding a payment for displaying external links. Page ranking, which have thus been ‘purchased’ rather than attained on merit, is a lot different from the point of view of a quality analyzer. Unfortunately there are no methods available to classify websites on the basis of procurement methods used to reach their rankings.

Another eye washer is the Google tool bar. It is a known fact that the PR is displayed on the tool bar and makes it easy for anyone to come to know of the ranking of a particular site. But, how frequently is the ranking updated on the tool bar? That is a million dollar question which needs a matter of fact answer in order to hold the figures in the tool bar to be of any consequence.  

There is a great discrepancy with regard to the visitors received from external links for different search engines. This too raises many eyebrows about the dictatorial standing enjoyed by Google in judging PR.

Would A Real-time Advertising Engine Work For Internet Advertising Better Than Google?

admin    Google     Advertising, better, Engine, Google, internet, RealTime, Than, Work, Would

I was just wondering your thoughts here, I had a thought as to wether advertising mixed with real-time search results such as from social networks like twitter or facebook could be massive in terms of advertising dollars enabling facebook & twitter to directly compete with a company such as a the likes of google in the online ad business through social ads. Would this be more relevant for consumers wishing to find exactly what they want by filtering search results through real-time and could this become a multibillion-dollar money maker?

Fast Track Your Website Onto Google In Less Than 48 Hours!

admin    Google     Fast, Google, Hours, Less, Onto, Than, Track, Website

We all know that if we are looking for something online, we usually make our first stop a search engine, such as Google or Yahoo. It is important to remember this when you are trying to increase traffic to your website. If you look for everything in Google or Yahoo, then the chances are that is what everyone else is doing so as well. So I use a search engine, what is the big deal? I hear you saying. Well the big deal is that you use a search engine and so does everyone else!

But of course I am sure you know that already, so why am I still banging on about it? Well the thing that many small businesses fail to grasp is that getting your page onto a search engine and as a highly ranked page at that is often not fully understood.

Here are the options for getting your site recognized by the Google search engine:

o Put in an application. Not an altogether bad idea and relatively easy, but how long are you willing to wait? Putting in an application via Google Addurl, Yahoos How to Suggest Your Site page or via the Open Directory Projects How to add a site to the Open Directory page is a worthy effort, particularly as Google has made agreements with Yahoo and Netscape ,owners of the Open Directory, that any sites indexed in their directories will be placed in Googles index. The downside of this is that you could be waiting anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks before this happens, and even then you may end up somewhere around page 20 in the rankings; basically your efforts are hardly worth the time spent on them!

o Link your site to others. Great, sounds terrific but what does it mean? Well quite simply linking your site to others is just what it sounds like, having links to other sites on your page; but more particularly, having links to your site from other peoples pages. The advantage of this is that it creates a search engine position that is known as organic. This means that the search engine crawlers that locate links to pages via other related pages find your site and index it by linking to it from another site. The advantage of being indexed in this way is that instead of being relegated to a page ranking where you are unlikely to ever be found, the organic placement of your website will start to creep up. The more links the more popular your site becomes, and the more links you can establish the higher your ranking is likely to climb. As an added bonus, you may also pick up traffic to your site from other sites that people with an interest in your particular product or service are visiting.

Clearly option number two is going to get you a higher ranking and a whole lot faster, so the next question is how do you get those links in place? Well to start with, consider what sorts of sites would be interested in linking to your site. If you are selling fine wines, then you may not get much benefit being linked to a site for pet food. A great way to get started is to link via relevant directories for your product or service. These can often be found simply by looking in the very search engines you are trying to get your site on to.

You can also request to exchange links with sites that are related to yours, simply add a link from your site, contact the other site to do the same, and very soon you will start to build up a large number of incoming quality links that will boost your page ranking. If you are unsure about taking this step, then it is worth getting started with the help of a reciprocal link managing tool. The better quality links you get the faster you will rise in the page rankings on Google.

A final sure fire way to get your page ranking to increase is by having articles and information about your site posted on article directories, which then include a link to your site from the article. If you are selling fine wine, then an article for example about how to store fine wines could be posted with a link to you site. This can be a great way to bring in traffic that you know is interested in your product or service, whilst at the same time increasing the quality links to your site and the ranking your page is given by Google.

Getting onto Google is a worthwhile endeavor, as this is one of the surest ways to bring targeted traffic to your website. By following a few simple steps to be certain that your site can be easily found, you will be on your way to getting onto Google in just 48 hours!

The Tweeter Getter List Building Tool For Growing Your Twitter New Followers List to 19,777 in Less Than 30 Days

admin    Twitter     19777, Building, Days, Followers, Getter, Growing, Less, List, Than, Tool, Tweeter, Twitter

Hey, if you’re not using Twitter to build a list of people you can start a relationship for your business, you should take a look at this marketing medium. It’s the fastest and most effective networking tool I’ve seen and used in my marketing business.

Now there’s a new tool that’s using viral marketing to build your Twitter following… it’s called “Tweeter Getter” – Here are some things you should know about this viral marketing system.

I started using Twitter Getter yesterday, and yes, it has already started building my Twitter follower list by about a 1,056 more followers. Now let me remind you, previously to yesterday I did not even have a Twitter account. The 1,056 followers are brand new in only 24 hours, on a brand new Twitter page.

I’ve also been seeing the followers list grow for others who started to market this viral tool, so I’m convinced it is indeed working and growing. I have to say that the day also bought me my record optins for my regular website which I have listed on Twitter. So to answer the question of does it bring traffic, I can say most definitely yes.

Because of the emails I received from well know internet marketers I have know for years and some great conversations with new followers who came to me from Twitter Getter, I really like the results. That’s why today I’ve started a quick marketing campaign for it, and a Backpage.com Ad campaign.. I think this is a unusual opportunity since it is so new, and I learned a long time ago that the first one in a new market usually wins.

At first, I hesitated to share Twitter Getter because I didn’t take the time… but after studying the Viral Marketing Capacity I decided to test it for a weekend. People always ask me about marketing ideas, and my answer is, test it, if if works keep doing it, but if not, trash it plain and simple..

My Twitter Getter Test started as a test to see if I could get quality visitors to my website. Now I’m happy I did because I am seeing that the list of followers that are joining from it are my exact target audience (business or marketing minded people)–I’ve even started developing some great discussions and relationships revolving around the services I offer so these Twitter followers are as good as they come. It is a pleasure to talk with these people because they are like minded business people.

Here’s What I Told My Computer Webmaster — If You Share This Tool Make sure it adds value to people’s lives and helps them to promote their passion. It’s an exciting opportunity to use a viral building tool like Tweeter Getter to help build an audience more quickly using a social site as new as Twitter .

This tool does have the potential to give you a short cut to building your Twitter follower list if you use it and share it. But, like anything else you have to promote it for it to work. You can send it to your list for them to test, you can buy pay per clicks, you can run ezine ads, you can write an article based on your experience of your test, and you could also post ads letting people know about your test results.

It is important to point out that as people join your list through Tweeter Getter, it is worthless to you unless you learn to create value for the people that are following you. As long as you do that, you’ll build long term quality relationships and generate business with Twitter Getter. I have found that those who join through Tweeter Getter are most likely business or marketing minded people who are open to improving their web presence. If that fits your business’ target market it is a good fit, and I always say to test it and let the results speak for themselves.
