Google’s new Twitter deal – some different thoughts on how it could help you and your business, not just your SEO
Us
geeks have been singing the praises of using Twitter to boost your
search rankings for a while now, and some of our clients are certainly
directly benefiting from their Twitter use.
This week Google and
Microsoft both announced deals to include live Twitter updates in their
search results pages, and whilst full details are still under wraps,
spending a bit of time getting on top of this could make a huge
difference to your online marketing.
So, what could this mean to your business?
- Postal strikes not affecting you? Let people know
– Notify the world instantly that you're not affected by any postal
strikes as you may, for example, use a courier service. Encourage
customers to use you over competitors in this busy run up to Xmas.
- Test out new keywords – Use your Twitter posts ("Tweets") to gauge how much traffic and potential sales new keywords can bring in. Save time and money by only updating your website with profitable keywords.
Why not read our free guide "Getting Started with Social Networking" and then check out "How to get more quality followers on Twitter and how it can help your business SEO".
We'll keep you posted when this new service finally kicks in, and remember you can give us a call any time to have a chat about using Twitter to boost your search optimisation.

mojoPortal Skins Tutorial – Getting Started With mojoPortal Themes

mojoPortal is, I think, the best.NET CMS by far. It is easy to design for, easy to extend and comes feature packed “out of the box”. It is the best CMS for clients that I have found based on its ease of user interaction and updates; as an IT trainer I can confidently judge that having trained many users on CMS systems. mojoPortal Skins (also called mojoPortal themes) are easy to design, flexible in their build and can look and feel exactly how you want them to, meaning your mojoPortal skins can bring your website out of its shell and help it deliver profitable and high quality relevant traffic, leading to more website enquiries.
