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.

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.

Why Should You Increase Search Rankings?

By Nick | Published March 26th, 2010

Learning how to increase search rankings should be high on your priority list when you dive into building a website. After all, with millions of people searching daily on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and all the other search engines online, You are leaving money on the table if you don’t get your site ranking for at least a few relevant keywords.

The dream that many marketers online live with is the dream of sipping pina coladas on the beach while the cash rolls into the bank. Now, you may not see this as fast as some people will promise you. However, just keep in mind that there is no such thing as an unrealistic goal. Only an unrealistic timeframe to reach it.

When you increase search engine rankings, and are able to keep those rankings for a long period of time, you will get a lot of passive traffic to your site. Once you have several websites running with this traffic, you will be assured of a long term income that will last you for years to come.

Can you smell the beach coming yet? That is where you are headed once you increase search ranking with your site. you can feel the waves sloshing at your feet, and taste the salt in the air.

Now, there are other ways to drive traffic to your site. However, they have a few downfalls. Social traffic is great when you do it right. However it takes a long time (and a lot of work) to get traffic through those sites consistently. They can be a great source of fast traffic, and you can get pages on these sites ranking quickly in search, but you also have to work hard to maintain the traffic once you are in. With social traffic you have to stay on top of your game.

Now, the good thing with social traffic is that it will help you increase search engine rankings. think of it a way to grab quick traffic while you wait on the search engines to like your site.

Another way you could grab some traffic is through PPC. The problem with PPC is that it can take a long time to make it work, and you can burn up a lot of cash. Now, once you master PPC, you can easily make a boat load of cash. However, be careful or you will lose everything.

PPC takes a lot of time and attention. You have to constantly watch your campaigns. If you slack off for a few days at the beach, your campaigns could tank, costing you loads of cash. This is why increasing search engine rankings is way better.

As you can see, learning to increase search rankings will help you build your business better than other forms of traffic. Don’t waste any more time on strategies that burn up your time or your wallet. If you need some help to increase search engine rankings for your website, we are here to help.

The Importance of High Value Backlinks For Rankings

By Nick | Published February 2nd, 2010



High value backlinks are critical if you want to succeed online. However, most people fail to realize just how critical it can be to your success. If you think about it for a few minutes, you will realize that high value backlinks will give you faster success online, with a lot less work.

When I started working online, I struggled to get my sites working. I followed some self proclaimed experts and struggled to get my websites ranking. Then, one day I woke up and realized that I needed to try building high value backlinks to my site. Today, I want to share with you some of the reasons why you need high value backlinks, and give you the kick in the pants you need to get started.

To begin with, high value backlinks will give you faster search rankings. Rather than having links on thousands of low quality blogs, and article directories, you can build less links, and still get the same rankings.

High value backlinks will also bring you more traffic by themselves. If you have 20 links on sites that get 1000 visitors per day, or you have 1000 links on websites that get 10 visitors per week, which one will bring you more traffic? This seems like common sense, but most people never think about what they are doing.

Another reason to look at the value of your backlinks is the authority it can give you. Everything that you post online will help to build your reputation. If you take the time to build high value backlinks, you will increase your authority. However, by spamming low quality articles to thousands of directories, you can actually hamper your success in a long term business.

Some of these directories will give you short-term success. The problem with them is that they get little traffic. Most people running them have no idea how to market their websites. They just put up a directory, throw AdSense on them to make money, and expect people to find them and build links for them.

Since these people don’t do anything to promote their own sites, the rarely get any traffic, other than other people like you who have been conned into submitting articles to them. No real readers ever find them.
Before long, they cannot keep paying their web hosting fees, or renew their domains, so the directory will disappear, along with all the links you have built there.

However, if you post high value backlinks on sites that know how to market their own site, and limit the number of ads on your pages, you will get more traffic through those pages, and you will have a higher success rate. Your website will fall into the rankings that you need in order to succeed.

Stop wasting your time on low quality link building packages, and mass submission software. Look for high value backlinks that will ensure that you succeed for a long term business. After all, if you don’t want your site to disappear tomorrow, you need high value backlinks that will be there for years to come.

Basics Of SEO – Linkbuilding Techniques

By Nick | Published January 22nd, 2010

Building massive links to your web pages is the fastest way to jumpstart your online success. However, many people fail to utilize proper SEO linkbuilding strategies to maximize the effect that their site can have.

Today, I am going to explore some of the most common SEO linkbuilding mistakes that will hamper your success online. If you are looking to drive more traffic with less work, you really need to make sure that you are not killing your chances to succeed. By following these tips, you will increase your chances to succeed more quickly.


Proper Keyword Research


Many people get hung up on keyword research. Either they go for general keywords that don’t really target the right visitors, or they spend so much time on keyword research that they fail to follow through. However, if you want your SEO linkbuilding to work, you have to have well optimized articles for keywords that target your buyers. Don’t be slaving away with general keywords with high competition. It is funny; often the keywords with the most competition are the ones that are the hardest to convert to sales.


Deep Linking


This is something that most of the people out there miss out completely but for me its one of the most vital things.



You need to build deep links into your internal pages. I am amazed at the number of people who only build links to their main domain. Then, they wonder why they cannot get rankings in search, and the traffic that they do get never leaves the home page.


Focus on building internal pages full of valuable content. These can be pages with articles, videos, and tips to help people interested in your service. Running a blog is a great way to build up this content and keep people coming back to your site. Once you do this, make sure that your SEO linkbuilding strategy links to these internal pages, to help boost traffic, and SEO value in the eyes of the search engines.


Support links


Support links are also a critical SEO aspect that many people fail to use. Just like your website, your articles that you syndicate will never be found if you don’t take some time to build links to them. We recommend that you spend 80% of your efforts to build links to your own site, and 20% of your link building efforts cross linking your syndicated content. This will help all of your web content get a better chance to rank in search, and throw you traffic to your website.


Doing It all Alone – All of a sudden you have a blue header?


Of course I have to plug this one in here. You can spend months building backlinks to your website, and drag your feet getting your site to succeed. However, as soon as you start outsourcing at least some link building efforts, you will see an improvement in your SEO linkbuilding speed, and effects. If you hire a proper link building service, you will get a lot of links quickly, and free your time up to work on more important things.
