A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Dan Naumovich of the State Journal register in Springfield, IL.  The article was printed yesterday, in the paper, and it can also be viewed online at the above link. The topic of the article is different ways small business owners can use Twitter to market their business.

The main goal for my clients using Twitter is to show a human side of their business. I recommend NOT blasting out self promoting links in excess, but instead just introducing yourself, being social, and contributing meaningful information, humorous tweets, and a mixture of helpful links, conversation with followers, and [sparingly] alerting followers to any special sales promotions you might be running. This is a nice way to join the Twitter bandwagon without being one of the ‘bad guys’.

This was started by an acquaintance I met on Facebook.  It is a community of social media experts. It is a young site, so it is still growing.  But if you have interest in seo or Social Media, it would be a good place to start your search for a qualified professional, or to join in discussions about web promotion.  It is a nice site because the aim is not for people to make sales pitches. But there are several qualified professionals on the site.

One way to increase traffic to your blog is obviously by trading links with other bloggers on your ‘blogroll’ or links sections in the sidebar. Honestly I have been lazy about trading links with people, partly because I don’t feel like bugging anyone, and partly because I am managing several blogs at once, and this seo tips blog at Webovater has been placed on the backburner for several months. To be honest, the purpose for this blog was to write down answers to questions that my clients were always asking me, about social media, seo, traffic building strategies, etc. The other purpose of this blog was to put a little change in the jar, help me to pay for diapers for the 3 boys. It’s helped a little, thanks to the fact that seo keywords are usually pretty competitive as far as adsense goes. But because I do not devote a great deal of time to writing on this blog, it’s nothing to get excited about.

Now, there might be a little more of a lull here, because I am going to be adding content to a new blog called Web revenge starting with an interesting account of my dealings with self-proclaimed seo expert John Cota. He had asked me in an email to contribute to one of his seo blogs, bouncing ideas back and forth, and just having some interesting seo / social traffic discussions. But after doing some research, I do not think this will be a good idea.  For more information, please see the Web Revenge Blog. This is where I will be documenting my experiences with some of the Internet’s more shady characters, from nonpaying clients and time stealers, to spammers and charlatans.

The other reason my articles here have grown less frequent is because instead of working on a blog, to deliver seo tips to my clients who have questions, I have been working on a seminar/workshop and creating the materials to go with that. If you have any questions that you would like answered about search engine optimization, feel free to email them to me, or actually, just use the contact form over at webovator.com (my other site) and your questions will go straight to my inbox. Then in answering you, I can also know better what to include in my workshop material for local small business owners who want to learn everything there is to know about seo.

I created a couple of intro videos to put on my website Springfield IL Web Designers and one video is a mnute, the other is 3 minutes.  The goal is just to add a personal element to the site, and introduce myself, talk briefly about what my company offers, and once I have my newsletter form, get people to sign up for my free seo tips (not selling them anything).  Neither video is polished, they are just quick and dirty ways to show people who I am, when they first visit.  Please leave a comment either on my blog, here, or by using this contact form.  Let me know which video you think would be better.  I would really appreciate your input.  Thanks.

Since I have been learning Tagalog, I thought it would be fitting to try to translate the Link Building Rap by m0Serious… It talks about seo and linkbait, and backlinking campaigns. If there are any corrections that need to be made, leave comments below please!

Gumawa ka ng bagong site at ito sangap bigat,
Seda ng litrato, Sampalataya ka ito umakma,
Buksan mo ang site, para magdeposito
Pero hindi natin makita ang site sa Google kailan ka humagilap ,
Akala mo hangang rendido ka
Mayroon ka pamagat at ulo, pero hindi “pahina rank”
Mamaya ito litaw kung maghintay tayo,
Samantala siguraduing tama ang kodiga,
At ito tama, na ano ako magbalak?
Idagdag meta malay at “alt tags” rin
Pa Google hindi ilista mo? Taboy, na taboy!
Brad at Chuck payo gumawa kabit,
Simulan hagilap ng sites, hawig halibaw,
Kopyahin mo ang bawi-kabit ng lahat ng iyong kalaban
Sino man kabit sa kanila, kailangan ng kabit sa ako
Ito libre, tayo palit, hindi natin bayaran
Bago ka bayaran, tungkol sa site ka halughugin
Para kabit-magsasaka, at ng dumi daya
At baka kayo mahulog sa pagkamatay,
Magingat ka ng “linkbait” at baka ka masubsob sa gulo
Kanila site ugnay?
Bayaran mo para nasa mayroon
kung mo idagdag iyong salaysay kadalasan,
Puwede ka iyong lakad sa primera pahina ng Google
