How to Use Twitter – 4 Steps on How To Use Twitter To Drive Traffic To Your Site

How to Use Twitter – 4 Steps on How To Use Twitter To Drive Traffic To Your Site

Today, Twitter is continuing to grow and getting increased service in the wide media.  Everyone you can think of is tweeting or have least heard of it once or twice. Huge corporations are turning to twitter experts to position their company along the broad media. And yes people are making money through twitter and getting a large amount of their traffic from twitter.

Use the right approach on Twitter and you can bring that traffic to your site.

Here’s are my 4 steps on how to use twitter to bring traffic to your site and increase your online exposure

Pick A Controversial Article Idea

When Twitter first launched, it attracted a heavy tech-oriented population similar to Digg. These folks are usually the first adopters in any new technology, so it’s hardly surprising they gravitated toward Twitter. If you wanted to get their attention, you needed to create content that was both controversial and technical.

Times change quickly. Twitter has hit the mainstream with coverage on CNN, Time, and other popular media properties. That means anything you write that is controversial can potentially hit a sweet spot and attract traffic. Think about content that will polarize your market.

Use the Tweet This Wordpress – Plugin

I recommend that you use a Wordpress blog. Not only does the architecture perfectly complement effective search engine optimization strategies, but some of the plugins will make your Twitter marketing much easier.

Download and install the “Tweet This” Wordpress plugin on your blog. It automatically loads a link at the end of each of your posts that allows your readers “re-tweet” them with a single click. If you’re using Twitter to drive traffic..

Channel the Viral Effect

Suppose you’ve written a controversial article that is relevant to your market. For example, if you’re marketing the health reform bill, you might write a post about the problems with reform and how it will be of no use to the united states, but will only promote socialism.

Once you create the content, post it on your blog. Then, “tweet” about it within your Twitter account. The more Twitter followers you have, the quicker bump in traffic you’ll  Similarly, the larger your blog readership, the faster your article will spread virally.

Encourage your blog readers to jump-start your post by clicking the “Tweet This” link at the end of it. Assuming many of them have a Twitter account, their re-tweets will get the ball rolling and increase your exposure. Some of their Twitter followers will visit your blog post and re-tweet it as well, creating a snowball effect. A few of them will also subscribe to your RSS feed, which paves the way for re-tweets on your future posts.

At this point, you’re already enjoying a traffic jump

Twitter is just Getting Started

Unless Twitter fades away under its own momentum, the service is going to be around for a long time. There’s plenty more to reveal, such as branding your Twitter account, adding gear, optimizing for Twitter search, and more. I recommend you read my How do you twitter Marketing Tips Guide for More Information.

Search Engine Optimization – Advanced Strategies – Steps To Setting Up An Autoblog For Seo Optimization

Search Engine Optimization – Advanced Strategies – Steps To Setting Up An Autoblog For Seo Optimization

For example, a real estate website could automatically pull postings from their local MLS listing service and create effective web posts on a realtors blog about each properly by listing information and pictures for visitors, this type of auto blogging is fairly common in the industry and saves agents countless hours of copy and pasting listing details from other websites.

Let’s take a look at how to run an effective auto blogging package, it takes a little experience and technical knowledge but these may be easily overcome hiring a web professional  for the more complicated parts of the process.

Install WordPress

Step one of course is to install Wordpress a great and flexible blogging package that happens to be free.  There is a ‘5 minute’ quick WordPress setup FAQ online.  It is really pretty simple.  However, once you’ve done it a few times you can join me in saying that. You can download WordPress directly and install it on your web host of if you’re less technical you can setup your hosting with a good host provider that handles Wordpress on the Linux platform and can push cron jobs and use their automated process to easily install WordPress with a quick click of your mouse.

Install Appropriate Plugins

Plugins are add ons to WordPress, they’re like super powered steroids that make WordPress do extra stuff. In this case, you’ll need to download and install Feedwordpress or your ‘auto posting’ software to make WordPress import RSS feeds from around the Internet.  There are a ton of Wordpress Plugins and they really help out immensely if you know which ones to pick (both free and commercial) to assist in your autoblog process.

What’s an RSS feed? Well simply put, its call Real Simple Syndication.  Like a news feed to a newspaper from a main news source. RSS feeds are used to let one computer or software program talk to another, basically it’s a specially formatted file that tells one website about the content of another website.

You’ll need to use it to automatically pull content from one website to display on other.

Now, to make sure you’re really cutting down on your workload, there are a few more Plugins that you’ll need. See, FeedWordPress will fetch thousands of posts … some are duplicated so lets add some WordPress Plugins to make your life a little easier.

WP Auto Tagger will add keywords to each post automatically, this helps cut down the work you’ll have to do to each post if you’re using feed WordPress though others do this automatically.

Delete Duplicate Posts is a quick way to make sure you don’t have duplicate posts in your database if feed WordPress or others are being used that create these posts.  Again, you’ll hear this often, there are some programs that don’t require this plug-in.  If they do, it is only intermittent and it can be ‘shut off’ when not needed.

Setup Your Feeds

Now that you have your blog setup and running, you’ll need to add feeds from popular sources to automatically populate your blog. For example, you may wish to add a feed from Google for blog posts FeedWordPress. Once this is done, your website will scan the blogshere on a schedule, looking for all new posts about the subjects you choose.  This can create duplicate posts, junk posts and a ‘runaway blog’ if you’re not careful.  And it only does RSS feeds.  There are other ways to autoblog, which I’ll cover on the blogs and websites I frequent. You can do the same with Google News, to ensure you always know what’s happening.

Manage Posts

When you setup FeedWordPress it asks if you’d like posts to be held for moderation or posted, it’s best to always hold posts for moderation while you’re getting used to the system and make notes of things you need to delete or edit before they go live.  You really want to edit posts if at all possible when Autoblogging, however, I like to have ‘main categories’ I add my posts to, those that are the main visual categories and I use a lot of ‘long-tail-keywords’ with some auto posting or Autoblogging software that basically forces the feed to provide the most relevant information or nothing at all.  I am still up late going through 5,000 posts as I write this…….

Advanced WordPress users will also be able to build special functions into their websites to automate complex parts of the process. As you’re are reading this, however, technology is in place that eliminates most of need to learn Linux cron.

Approval

The final step of auto blogging and one that I believe is often overlooked is the final approval of an article. Personally, I believe it is critical that people (not machines) do a final scan of each article being posted and ensure it is accurate, maybe this isn’t true auto blogging but it’s impossible for robots to ensure everything is right so a quick scan of the article will ensure that you’re sharing the right information with your target audience.  Again, 5,000 posts……4,999…. 4,998…..

Who is Auto Blogging Right For?

There are a lot of industries that Autoblogging simply wouldn’t work for I do believe that scanning trusted data sources and automatically processing listings for car dealerships, financial reports, real estate, news services, syndicated news etc. is a wonderful use of RSS and auto blogging technology.  There are some reputable blogs you can hit and again some tools allow keywords to strip out unnecessary content.  Overall it works out pretty well.

I use it on all of my sites and other clients sites to get good relevant content, news, research or other information that would be critical to complete a website or blog which could normally take a very long time to complete (even 1 to 2 years of work, relationships, writing, networking, et al.)

So if this sounds like it might be something you’d want for your website, you may want to look at hiring a professional to set this up due to the technicalities and / or finding the best quality software package to simplify the process.

Learn SEO in Three Easy Steps

Learn SEO in Three Easy Steps

If you are new to the ‘net or an old pro, chances are you have heard and tried to learn SEO. But, what you quickly found is that it is not that easy. Of course, done correctly SEO skills will make your website blast to the top spot in no time at all. However, it takes time and like most things that take time the average person quits far too early. So, I’ve included some steps you need to take to learn SEO and do it right. Let’s go . . .

Learn SEO Lesson One: The first thing you need to do is build a respectable website. This should be your first job and is more important than anything else. If you don’t have a website of at least 50 pages filled with content wrapped around your keywords then you will be behind the eight ball from the start. So, spend time creating a quality site and you will have a foundation to build your SEO skills upon.

Furthermore, in your site design you need to think of simplicity as your driving force. You should have plenty of text that includes your niche’s keywords and these should outweigh your html content every time. Also don’t forget to check your pages against multiple browser types. What looks great in Internet Explorer doesn’t always check out well in Mozilla and vice versa. I used to tell people to shoot for Explorer but there are so many Mozilla users that you need a site that holds up under both platforms. When your goal is to learn SEO don’t forget the details!

Learn SEO Lesson Two: The second thing you need to do is keep web pages small. Today, with faster web access you can take some liberties. However, 15K is a good target and you should NOT go overboard with flash, auto streaming video or the like. These will only slow down some visitors and then they won’t be back!

Make is your goal to build at least one page of good content daily. And, you should include 250 to 500 words that contain your list of keywords that you researched. You should shoot for a minimum of 5% word density and preferably 20%. This means that you have 5 of your keywords for every 100 written words. Or, 20 of your keywords for every 100 written words. I personally shoot for 7% – 10%. Anything more and it becomes tough to read.

Learn SEO Lesson Three: Submit your site to as many root directories as possible. Start with Google, Fast, Altavista, WiseNut, (write Teoma), DirectHit, and Hotbot. Additionally, use web 2.0 like Delicious, Stumble Upon and Squidoo.

If you are making your website on the back of WordPress or some other blogger software then you should additionally ping your blog to any of the sites available. This helps it to get cached quickly which will start a snowball of traffic. It is best to ping your site after posting new content. This tells the world that your site is fresh and dynamic!

As you can see, if you want to learn SEO you have to be prepared to work at it. I’ve touched on a few of the easier steps in the process but there are more advanced methods as well. However, if you are truly going to learn SEO you must start with these and build upon your skill set over time. Good luck!

SEO By Owner In Three Easy Steps

SEO By Owner In Three Easy Steps

You have two choices to consider when trying get your site ranked higher in search engines. You can hire a Search Engine Optimization Company that is an expert in the field or if you have some time, you can do it yourself.

Research your Keywords

Ask yourself what keywords you think someone might type in when searching for products you sell or services you provide. Though a keyword may be only one word it is usually a phrase made up of keywords. Phrases are more specific and will more than likely be what potential customers use when searching for products or services online.

After a quick brainstorming session write down all that you were able to come up with. Make sure to consider geographical phrases if they are important to your customers and don’t forget of alternative words that could be used (an example could be “new car Littleton”). Make sure to surf the websites of your competition to get more ideas until you can come up with a list in the neighborhood of 20 to 30.

Now you should take two keywords from your list that you feel potential customers will use most frequently. Take into consideration that popular keywords are also competitive keywords and harder to achieve higher ranking with. If your goal is to obtain a high ranking for the term “auto insurance”, the path to achieving it may be long. Try to make your keywords the ones that are most related to your business and not riddled with vagueness or extremely competitive. Make each phrase about two or three words in length like the previous example.

Now that we have your keywords we will move on to the next step.

Site Text

Your site text is made up of the wording that is on your web page. There is a phrase for search engines and it is content is king. Search engines love unique content and your keywords should be placed in key locations within the content so Google understands the relevance your site has to them. Also make sure that your copy reads well around them as it needs to make sense for your visitors who are most important.

Keywords can be placed in headings, at the top of pages, in bold or italics, used as link text for other pages of your site and in your title tag.

Add additional content after you are finished tuning up your webpage. Give more detailed descriptions of the products and services you offer. Provide a frequently asked questions page and pages of articles that pertain to your products or services.

With your design you should keep in mind that search engines cannot read images nearly as well as text. Sites that are made up with excessive flash or pictures really impede how well they can read the content of your site.

Link Building

A common way of thinking about links is that every link from another site that leads to yours is a vote for the popularity of your site. Every quality link you receive can improve your search rankings.

The quality of your inbound links is more vital than the quantity. The preferred and more valuable link is from sites that are relevant to your niche and with authority (highly regarded in the niche). A quality directory with relevant categories is another example. Just a few quality links with authority can have more value for your site than hundreds of lesser quality. Think of it like you do your personal business network. Both can have a strong effect on the success or failure of your business.

Take time to consider all the other relevant websites in your niche such as organizations, industry affiliates and non-competing companies. Send them a email introducing yourself, your products and services and explain how your website could benefit their visitors. Then politely suggest that they create a link to your website from theirs.

Record the Results

Over time you should watch and record your search engine rankings by doing a Google search for your chosen keywords to see where you rank. You can also monitor where your visitors are coming from by watching your hosting reports. Do this for each significant page of your website.

Continue to add to your websites content and increase the links to your website over time. This needs to be an ongoing effort for as long as you want visitors to your website.

As you continue to record the results of your efforts you should see the traffic increase and with that your sales. Know where your visitors are coming from so you can continually monitor your marketing efforts successes. Only by measuring it do you know where and how to improve it.

Increase your Websites online presence today by getting listed on The Authority Business Directory. Plus, don’t forget to submit url for inclusion while you are visiting.
