Three Ways To A Better Web Rank

Do you have a website?
Are you wondering what you can do to rank better through Google?
If you answered YES to both questions then I think that you might want to read on...
I am going to give three very simple things that you can do to help your website rank.

1. Meta Keywords: Everyone needs them BUT you do not need to weigh heavily on them. 10 keywords max, any more and you could be harming your rank rather then improving it.

2. Meta Description:Your Meta Description should be no more than 150 characters. Let's try to not overdue it.

3. Page Title: We already know what the name of your business is so you do not need to have that as your page title, instead try to describe what the business is in a very short sentence.

I hope that some of this helps you achieve a better web rank!

How To Twitter When You Are Brand Spankin New

I know, I know! How to Twitter blog posts are everywhere. They really are and they are informative to many people that have been Twittering for a while already. They however are not so helpful to the brand spankin' new Tweople which is why I chose to write this post.

Twitter is an awesome social tool that is all too often misused and unfortunately many people do not realize that they are misusing it. I feel guilty at times not adding people that are following 1,000 people and only have 28 followers. I am always asking myself "Are they new or are they just a spammer?". Think of using Twitter as being the new person in town. You don't go around passing out the same piece of paper to all of your new neighbors expecting them to read it and love you and you just keep walking to the next house without interaction, or maybe you do. If you do then PLEASE STOP READING THIS POST! It isn't for you.

So step by step I am going to provide you with the steps that will allow you to have a positive presence on Twitter and form contacts and relationships that matter because lets face it, numbers don't matter at all.

STEP ONE

Choose a GOOD username. Maybe it's your real name, maybe it's a name that defines you. No matter what the name is just remember that people will remember you by it.




STEP TWO

After you have signed up personalize your Twitter page. Provide a bio because we want to know who you are. Add a picture of YOU and not your logo or an image you found on the Internet. BE REAL


STEP THREE

DO not go and follow thousands of people. Instead go to the search option and look for people in your geographical location or people that have the same interests as you.


STEP FOUR

Interact immediately. Watch your Twitter stream and respond to the people that you follow. They are more likely to follow you back if you interact with an @reply



STEP FIVE

Provide us with quality content. I don't care about bleaching my teeth or how I can get hundreds of new followers in a day, but I would love to read your blog.

STEP SIX

Be consistent. Don't walk away for a month and come back expecting thousands of new followers. You may have new followers, but I can bet that they will not be the ones that will provide you with anything more than a spam message every five minutes.

STEP SEVEN

Be yourself! If you love to be funny then gosh darnit, be funny! Being real is what the Social Web is all about. There are many games that you can play if you want to portray a fabricated image.

STEP EIGHT

Organize your Twitter life. Tweetdeck, Twihrl, Seesmic and applications like these are so helpful. You no longer have to worry about refreshing your page on the web as these will let you know when there are new updates.


STEP NINE

Enjoy it! If you don't enjoy Twitter then why are you using it?
'nuff said!

Hope this helps all of you newbie Tweeps!

The Importance Of Bookmarking

Digg, Delicious, Kirtsy, Mixx, Stumbleupon are some of the most used bookmarking sites on the Internet today. Many of you have heard these names and still aren't sure why you should use them and then many of you have no idea what any of those sites are or what any of this means.
In this post I am going to explain the importance of using these sites and many many others.

Social bookmarking allows users to store, organize, search, and manage their content on the Internet by using tags or keywords that are relevant to the web page they are wishing to share. Users can save the content privately as well so they can always come back to the pages that they have stored

Many of these sites allow you to link your Twitter or Facebook accounts to share and spread your content to the people you connect with in your Online life.

Steps For Bookmarking:

Step 1- Create your content
Step 2 - Get an Addthis button to embed on your site or into your blog post
Step 3 - This step will only happen the first time you use these site. You will need to create profiles/accounts on all of the sites to be able to bookmark your content.
Step 4 - Add your content to the sites you choose to.
Step - 5 Don't forget to Tweet it!
That's it! You are now ready to go and bookmark your content the way it was meant to be done.

Other awesome bookmarking tools:

*Social Poster
*Only Wire
