Implication Of Twitter’s Exposure To Google Search

As you may probably know, Google has announced its plan to integrate twitter updates into its search results, with the belief that Google search results and user experience will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this up-to-the-minute data. Today, I’m not going to talk about the private information security issue, which is always the first thing to come to one’s mind when talking about that integration. Rather, I’d like to discuss with you about the implication of twitter’s exposure to Google search to us webmasters.

Needless to say, twitter will become more important with regard to website promotion. Previously, updates about your business can be only seen by your twitter followers,the number of which is quite limited. After integration within Google search, things become different. Your profile updates will appear in the search results every time someone searches relative keyword through the search box. Just imagine how traditionally you get your website appeared in the search result pages. You probably need to exchange links with others, post replies in forums, post comments in blogs and so on. With twitter profile exposed to Google search, you simply add another effortless channel to direct your Google-targeted promotion efforts.

However, Abusing social network service’s promotional capability has always been a tendency among webmasters. I believe that tendency will become more so after Twitter profile gets exposed to Google search. Word of advice, Google and Twitter are not fools, if not more clever than anyone else. If one abuses twitter’s promotional capability, he or she will run the risk of getting punished in some way, for example, categorized as spam by either Twitter or Google.

Anyway, Twitter’s exposure to Google search is certainly a good news for us webmasters. We just need to be firmly disciplined in order not to abuse its promotional capability. After all, the principle mission of Twitter is to connect people, nothing else.

All that Twitters is not Gold

admin    Twitter Marketing     Gold, Twitters

Twitter marketing is one of the best methods that any online marketer can employ to earn money from the convenience of their own home. This way of getting your message to the masses can be utilized by those who are younger or older or male or female. This article will show you 2 very simple ways in which you can put the power of this online phenomenon to work in your own home based business.

An easy thing for most people to do is to focus on what is currently a hot topic in the mainstream media. For example, the World Series is one of the hottest topics in the nation at this time. If you simply do a search on Twitter.com for the phrase “World Series,” you will find a large number of results for that particular phrase. You just need to go through all of the entries that come up for that term, and add the people who have tweeted about that event to your friends. As a word of caution, you do want to be wise about how you build so as not to make the powers that be at this popular social media site angry.

The goal is to build your list of friends so that you can market to these people at a later time. In the world of social media marketing, you have access to an enormous number of people. Once you have added a certain number of followers, a certain percentage of those individuals followers will also follow you. I am certain you can see that you can build a very strong network with this type of available set up. It can be very lucrative to target a product towards people who already want what you have as a service.

Being an affiliate for a product that promotes baseball or the World Series Championship in October and November can put a great deal of dollars in your pocket. Set a goal of how many people you want to follow per day. A safe number is 50 people per day. You must also factor in that a number of these people or businesses will not follow you back, or may even stop being your follower. However, averaging 30 followers per day for 20 days will give you a total of 600 followers, all having somewhat of an interest in the Championship of Major League Baseball.

The final factor that all Twitter marketers should remember is the importance of relationship building. This can be accomplished by giving your followers something of value that you believe will interest them about baseball or sports. You can send tweets about the actual game that you saw last night, your opinion of the national anthem, or how great it was to see Yogi Berra walk with the first lady to the pitcher’s mound to greet a man with one arm. Being a friend to someone will go a long way in the both the offline and online world in which we make our homes. Having these followers as your friend will make it much easier to sell these people something when you let them know about a sports-related affiliate product or CPA offer.

In the end, Twitter can be a huge goldmine for anyone that decides to put its power to use. You can develop a large network, build quality relationships, and market to these people all at no cost to you. All that twitters may not be gold, but sometimes it sure seems to appear that way.
