Twitter and Small Businesses – Basic Tips To Get You Started

By Nick | Published August 17th, 2010

Today, more and more people are turning to Twitter to get their daily dose of entertainment news, the latest fashion trends, and even the latest iPhone news. For others, they depend on Twitter to order a great cup of coffee. An ebusiness or online business that is linked to twitter will not only benefit in terms of traffic, but also on ratings, sales and revenues.

What can Twitter do for a business?

For one thing, Twitter, as a communication platform, can make it easier for the business and the clients to stay connected with one another. The speed of the shared information will get the people interested in the company, be able to get the news in real time and not just the latest information, the company can build their relationships with their clients making it easier for feedback and ordering methods, even payments, gather the latest in product ideas, designs and features as well as getting the best offers and promotions. On the other hand, the business can also get the latest and real time feedbacks from their clients, including their disappointments and bad experiences.

How does Twitter work?

Once signed up, the user can read and write messages of up to 140 characters at one given time. These public messages can be seen by everyone who is signed up, there are roughly about 50 million accounts currently signed up and even if most of these accounts don’t actually tweet they do follow real time information and use these to find the latest on practically anything and everything.

Businesses and Twitter

Twitter can connect any business to the members with just one message, right now. This is one way of spreading the news that has never been experienced before. For example, if the business is about baby shower souvenirs, all one has to do is to run a search on the company name that sells these souvenirs, one may also see the messages about how happy the customers were about the products, the speed of delivery, the affordable prices – they can even share tips to other users on how they found the company this gives the company that much needed boost in recommendations. Those who are actually having the baby shower party can tweet about how happy their guests were with the souvenirs that they are currently handing out.

Twitter Basics

Once the company is signed up on Twitter, go to Twitter tools and set up the Twitter profile with the WordPress powered blog. One can do three things to have a successful tweet:


• When tweeting, include the keywords that will make it easier for the followers to search for the company in the future
• A short URL can be customized by making them become the keywords
• Link the company blog into Twitter, this will make it easier for the tweets to be seen by others who might write about the company website and even make links to it
• Schedule the tweets at the best time of the day for ReTweeting
• Make sure that the 301 can redirect to the company site by using a URL shortener


This will make it possible for every post on Twitter to become a status message. This will also allow tweeters to track the company in real time and make comments. Once the company gains the followers, there will be more traffic for the business. These followers will be able to see the company’s status updates.


Some companies are more successful than others depending on how they write these updates and it is best to learn from how the others write, their styles and how original they are by actually following the popular tweeters. Remember, any one member is given the opportunity and the ability to post their status every time they post something on their blogs or web site. These can be done manually by updating status updates every time there is a post made.


Once other users or followers see that the company is active and actually reply on their status messages, then they will eagerly follow the company or reply to whatever messages are sent out in the future. It helps if the messages are not only informative but are actually nice to read, so try to be unique and original.

In Conclusion (For You To Begin ;) )

There are very popular bloggers, blogs and web site owners and developers that have their own Twitter accounts and they are connected to the millions of followers. This will increase the traffic into their businesses and give the company the chance to get hands on and personal connection with their customers, clients and readers. This is a great way to also get more friends for the company and raise the popularity of the business.


As Twitter is a free service, the link building that can be done through this application is very logical as this can improve the overall popularity of the business and can connect to a worldwide customer base.

Critical tips to Proper SEO for Massive Website Traffic

By Nick | Published August 7th, 2010

Massive website traffic on autopilot is hard to work yourself into. However, if you take time to look at what the searche engines can give you, then you will be more likely to succeed in a long term business venture. Today, let’s explore a few SEO tips that will help you get massive traffic online with more time to sit back and enjoy yourself.

The first thing that so many “SEO experts” will teach you is that the only thing that you need to look at is PR. Although that may have been true years ago, some people need to update their thinking. Although PR does help some, even Google does not give it as much weight as they used to. And, they were the only search engine that ever paid it any attention.

Instead of focusing only on PR, you need to look at other factors when trying to get massive website traffic and high seo rankings through your link building efforts.

How Many Links Are On The Page: Less Is More

Every link on a page will bleed link juice to the sites they lead to. Although no follow limits how much bleeds out, don’t be fooled by them. NO follow only applies to Google, and they still bleed some link juice, just not much. However, if there are 10-15 links on a page, there will not be as much link juice to pass a long to your own site. You want to make sure that your links wind up on pages that will give you good benefits for your site.

The Nature Of The Link :How does dofollow Or nofollow Affect You?

Since we have mentioned this already, let’s address the myth of Do/No follow links. Although the no follow tag limits how much link juice flows to a site, it doesn’t stop it completely. Many sites have gotten rankings with only no follow links. However, it takes five or ten times the links as if you were linking on Do follow sites. So, you can get rankings with no follow links, but you have to do more work to build enough to make it worth your while

The Theme Of The Page: Relevancy Of The Topic

Now, all of that being said, the biggest factor to look at is the relevancy. After all if you have an article on marlin fishing, and you link to a page on wildlife conservation, that would be considered relevant, because they are related topics.

However if you linked on that same marlin fishing article to a page on dog training, that would be totally off topic. Not only will this link be ignored by your readers on the site, but it would also be ignored by Google when it comes to SEO ranking.

One reason that I love SEO is the quality of the traffic. When you get rankings with a keyword, you basically put yourself in front of an desperate audience. Your traffic is made up of people who are making an active effort to look after that product or keyword that you are targeting. This makes them highly qualified buyers and increases your conversions or sign ups (whatever your end goal is).

Personally, I have had good success with SEO strategy. It is not a fail proof system, but I personally feel that its a more laid back strategy. Once you have your rankings you can just sit back and focus on other things. If your links are good, and built with a solid long-term strategy, and you use high quality content, then chances for your website sticking in Google search results are pretty high. That is the best way to get massive website traffic, and turning that traffic into cash.

Outsourcing to trusted link building services

By Nick | Published August 6th, 2010

When you work online, leveraging the power and experience of outsourcing link building services is a critical part of your website marketing strategy. No matter what your website is about, you cannot do all of the work that it takes on your own.

Let’s consider some of the benefits to using these services. Link building services will help you get more traffic to your sites fast. When you take the time to invest in your link building strategy, you will find that getting the high search engine rankings that you desire will come naturally.

Let’s face it; with all of the competition out there, you need to get massive links out there quickly. You need diversity in your link building, and in order to get the massive numbers for the competitive keywords, you need to hire someone who knows how to get high quality links to your site.

Link building services can give you a variety of links, so make sure that you choose the right one for your project. Some focus on Web 2.0 sites, while others will focus mainly on submitting to article directories.

You will also find link building services that rely on blog commenting or social bookmarking. These are great sources of traffic; however, you need to make sure that the service you hire for these types of backlinks are not just spamming the sites that they submit to. Every link that they send out is promoting your business, and it is your reputation on the line.

I recommend that you look into the history of the link building services that you hire before making a hard and fast choice. Make sure that you are paying a reputable company that has experience. Although you may get a really cheap deal, if they are spamming your links out to hundreds of sites, you may find yourself wishing for more.

Find out about any guarantees that they have. Some will guarantee certain rankings, although they usually work on a monthly fee rather than a onetime payment. Some will grantee acceptance, and they will keep submitting links until you get all the links that you paid for. However, some just grantee submissions. Although these are sometimes cheaper, if they submit to 100 directories, and only 5 of them approve of your article, was it really worth the price that you paid?

There is always some risk to your business when you rely on a third party. However, if you truly want to succeed online, you sometimes need to take that risk. Look at all the great people throughout history. None of them achieved what they did by playing it safe.

What it all boils down to is that everyone who is successful online got there by leveraging the expertise of others. If you want your website to become successful then you need to outsource to trusted link building services so that you can get into the game more quickly, and spend your time more wisely. Hire a link building service that has a high reputation for getting you the back links that you need to stay successful in this game.

Success with Social Bookmarking Online

By Nick | Published August 4th, 2010

Finding success with social bookmarking online is a great way to build up your reputation and your business. However, most people fail to succeed with it because they do it totally wrong.

Social bookmarking online is not about spamming hundreds of links, and hoping someone finds it. The problem is that people get stuck in a rut, and focus only on SEO. Although social bookmarking can help with your SEO, it is more about the direct traffic that it can send your site.

Rather than posting hundreds of links to your own site using a mass submitter, and never going to the bookmarking sites themselves, you should spend some time logging in to your account, posting relevant comments on other bookmarks, boosting, digging, or re-bookmarking other people’s posts, and making friends requests.

The more friends that you have on the social communities, the better off you will be. For one these people will be more likely to bookmark your sites if you are bookmarking theirs.

Also, with Google testing the new Social Search, the more social contacts you have, the better off you will be. Basically, social search looks at the users social profiles, and gives related suggestions based on links posted by their friends lists.

If you cannot see how having as many of your potential customers on your friends list is beneficial to you with that, then you may as well hang up your hat. Social communities are working their way into every aspect of the web including search rankings.

Social bookmarking online also does not work if all that you do is post your own content. Instead, post other content that you find interesting. A forum post, blog post, funny video on Youtube (Diggers love these), and even content unrelated to your niche. This will help engage people, and they will pay more attention to your posts when it is your own content.

I recommend a 1/10 ratio should be your own content. Also, this includes your content on other sites, blog guest posts, and any where else that you post information online.

All that being said, the best way to find success with social bookmarking online is to have other people bookmark your sites for you. Rather than being seen as a spammer, people will see your content on other people’s posts. The easiest way to do this is to outsource your social bookmarking. This helps because the bookmarking experts have established accounts, and you can leverage the power that their services bring to you and your website.

Whatever you do, you need to be getting social in order to succeed online. More and more, people are turning to social communities like Digg and Stumbleupon to find information, rather than the search engines. By using established social profiles, you will build your reputation, grap people’s attention, and move your website into the next evolution of popular website traffic.
