Twitter Research Shows you How to Increase Click-Throughs

Twitter Expand
It is amazing how much data we generate everyday. One cause of this is simply trying to get our great content in front of an audience. We spend a lot of time with tweets, blogs, vlogs, and promoting the heck out all of them.

If I told you that there was a secret to increasing click-through rates (CTR) on all your content using Twitter...would you believe me? Here is some great research showing you exactly how to do it.


3 Ways to Increase Twitter CTR

What We Are Doing Wrong
Heidi Cohen recently wrote about new research that shows how to maximize the impact of your tweets. One thing you can do right now is to begin putting the URL 25% into your tweet instead of at the end. This increases CTR more than in other area of placement. Simple!

Many of these tips seem straightforward. The reason why they work is because of the way we scan content. The style of Tweets that perform the best present information in a credible way. Another aspect that makes this style so appealing is that it looks different. These effects may not last once everyone adapts to this new information.

Timeliness
Buffer App increases Twitter impact by over 200%! The simplicity of Buffer is what makes it such a powerful tool. By only tweeting at the most optimal times you increase the likelihood that your network will see and act on them. Buffer schedules your tweets and keeps you from overwhelming your audience with information.

It isn’t surprising that most of the important blogs are using Buffer as an option to share. In one short year Buffer has become a major staple of the blogging community. Expect to see more from them in the future. They have already added Facebook updates to their app.

Promote Others
Focus  on more than yourself. Twitter is a social network. You would be wise to never forget that. You can actually increase the chances of people promoting your content by making a habit of promoting others! Build your relationships and people will seek you out and tweet yours. That act of discovery is what makes Twitter so much fun!

Relationship building is the only way to go with social media. It goes beyond Twitter and Facebook to the heart of your business. If you think that your business exists in a vacuum you are wrong. Learn how to share the spotlight with others and you may find yourself taking center stage.

Why Should You Join Twitter


Are you still waiting to join the Twitter train? Many of the people I speak to still don’t see the point. For me it is the number one tool I use to build my professional network. It has allowed me to reach out to my mentors and build relationships. It also allows me to look for help and is a great research tool.


Why have you joined Twitter? Do you use it as a promotional tool? If not, how do you promote your content?

Learning SEO is like drinking Wine & Searching for Rare Coupon Product-Part II

Posted On // Leave a Comment
In our first part we have discussed about few aspects of Learning SEO, and now in this part we are going to deal with applying SEO strategies in order to survive in this competing world. The size of internet universe is creeping really high as a result the competition among the websites is also growing and I must recon that the competition is at pinnacle point currently. Most of the web masters are currently relying on the niche sites to make some side income but many tools like backlink profit monster, traffic travis, Rank Analyzer, etc are revealing the secret sources which web masters doesn’t like to reveal or share with others. These tools are showing off all the backlink sources of our competitors, but still few of the sites are successful in aspects to stay ahead.



Generally let us consider a condition in order to have a practical experience. These days, the coupon sites are having mighty competitions and as a result of that, people are searching for micro niches in order to make money. If you are interested in getting ranked for your discount coupon sites and let us say you want to rank for keywords WSJwines and Virgin wines for the coupon site. Your initial task is to search for the competitors and the way they build links by using the above mentioned tools. Now your strategy is to stay in Top 10 of the Google, Bing and Yahoo as a result, you need to focus on producing quality content on your sites and also have to build highly qualified backlinks for your pages in order to rank for your keywords. Most of people think that SEO is nothing but, just keyword analysis and building backlinks. It is one of the existing myth as so called most of the SEO experts follow and fail these days. Most of the webmasters who are kicked hardly by panda used same practice. But there are many elements in SEO which I’m going to discuss in my future posts.

So, after building backlinks your next target is to stay in the same position or to improve your rankings in the search engine for which you need to follow the best possible on-page optimization as well as you have to promote your site in Social Bookmarking sites like Stumble, Digg, Reddit and other Do-follow Social Bookmarking sites which adds little boost for your SERPs and in addition to you need to promote on Twitter and Facebook for further benefit. Following these simple strategies helps you to stay on the Top position for longer time than just building backlinks. After Google Panda update, the backlinks from Article Directories are getting kicked and your keywords tend to have some negative impact. So, try to minimize your submission in article directories as well as backlinks via blog commenting.
Following these strategies will definitely help you to survive in the current competing world and always keeps you at the top of the world.

The Difference between Analog and IP Phone Systems

Posted On // Leave a Comment
How many people do you know who prefer text messaging as their primary means of communication? Let’s take it one step further. How many people do you know who still use a landline for the bulk of their phone calls?

IP phone systems have redefined the way we interact with one another, making the cost of communication exponentially cheaper than it was even five years ago. But more than that, web-based communication provides a significantly higher value in terms of overall service, integrating an entire range of communication tools into a device that fits into the palm of your hand and, more importantly, goes wherever you do.

So how do the two stack up?

Steve Jobs vs. Alexander Graham Bell
Around since 1876, analog equipment results in a system that’s essentially locked. It requires both a professional to install and often one to maintain. Adding an extension onto an analog phone system is complex and requires you to already have wiring in place or create a separate run for each extension. Yet all too often, companies continue to operate on this archaic system.

In fact, it’s not uncommon to find medium to large businesses with dozens of analog lines that are no longer in use. And the cost of these unused lines may be running a pretty hefty bill since, in most instances, you pay a monthly fee for the connection itself. Examples include:
·         Office extensions (both occupied and vacant)
·         Cordless phones
·         Conference room speakerphones
·         Fax machines
·         Modems

The primary reasons many companies cite for maintaining an outdated system are upgrade costs and employee retraining. But after factoring in the cost of long-distance and international calling on an analog system, including changes incurred by traditional fax machines, replacement costs would be a wash if not substantially less than the savings when amortized over a set period of time.

This is further highlighted by the extreme functionality of an IP-based platform.

The Truth behind IP Technology

IP phone systems allow you to use technologically-advanced calling features essentially for free, including call forwarding, call waiting, voicemail, caller ID, call transfers and three-way calling. Plus, most have an auto-answer integrated into the system that allows for personalized messaging.

But IP phone systems are far more than just voice. They seamlessly combine the full functionality of web-based communications, incorporating many of the popular Windows applications as well as e-mail, text messing and IM into a single unified interface.

This feature alone makes the upgrade worth it as IP systems provide a wealth of customer data and other critical information your staff needs right at their fingertips. In doing so, it saves them the time of having to consult multiple systems just to handle a single request, instantly delivering a noticeable degree of streamlined efficiency across your entire organization.

The convenience, portability and advanced features of VoIP make it a benefit for any business – from local ‘mom and pops’ to multinational corporations. In addition to the considerable cost savings, it also provides the range of platforms that time-strapped customers are beginning to demand. If you want to remain competitive, it’s definitely worth considering.

Learning SEO is like drinking Wine & Searching for Rare Coupon Product-Part I

Posted On // Leave a Comment
SEO a.k.a Search Engine Optimization is a word that doesn’t require much introduction in the Internet Entrepreneur’s world. Well, SEO is nothing but optimizing your blog/website’s content as Search Engine friendly and practicing few other basic elements in order to rank for few keywords and driving various visitors to land on your blog.


The SEO is one such a task that not only requires knowledge. In order be a successful SEO expert, you need to learn few marketing strategies, time management, building relationship and trust among your friend’s circle, quality control, assurance, professional approach, and many other aspects makes you the best SEO expert in fact it makes you one of the Top Reputed SEO experts in the world.

The initial phases of learning SEO will be really interesting and it attracts people to learn it with ease while when it comes to practical experience, people fail to work in this. The main reason for their failure will be because of lack of Communication and relationships with the web-masters. The main motto of SEO is to build a strategized relationship with many other Web-Masters around the world. Unless you build a relationship, you may not manage the SEO tasks at cheaper rates. Since, if you manage to have few good friends in fact I’d like to say good deal of friends in your networks you can make use of their websites without many efforts and provide scope for your friends as well to earn which increases your reputation as well.

Like, I’d share one of my experiences over here. I used to work as a Marketing Head in one of the Top Marketing Based firm in UK and one of my friends who is an SEO expert used to work a lot with many blogs. Using his network, I’ve managed to market few of the coupon sites on various products like Laithwaites wine or Zagat Wines or Vodafone as well as some other Top rated products across the world. So, building relationship with your co-webmasters is one of the major aspect of SEO.

Time Management is yet another important aspect of SEO. Though, we are not sure about the fact that when Google or any other Search Engines are going to crawl our sites, we still need to provide our clients a sort of trust. We’ll find many other SEO experts who promise you to reach Google Front Page, I’d suggest you strictly never go with them. Because the fact is, they are not working in Google nor do they have contacts with Google Engineers.

The fact, why they assure you the front page of Google is nothing but just they follow the Black-Hat practices in which they might have succeeded in 2 – 3 cases, but I don’t hesitate to say that more than 97% of sites which used these Front-Page guaranteed services accepted the fact that these are fraudulent services. Of course, these so called front-page guaranteed SEO Experts might be successful in pushing your blog on to Google’s front page, but that is going to be only short term fruit, later you may find that same guy who was successful in pushing your page onto front page fails to make it happen again. Reason – Google Engineers will manually kick your page backward because of using the black hat SEO practices.





We will come up with more facts and tips to learn SEO in our second series of post. Stay Tuned.
