YapYapOK Free Classifieds - Google UK Page 1 Number 3
I have been asked to do a few favours for friends regarding SEO on websites. This has been very valuable since I have employed many SEO techniques that I have under utilised.
Many of these sites have been very easy to get to page 1 of Google as they fit a very specific niche. YapYapOK Free Classifieds is very general and therefore highly competitive, consequently my faith in my abilities has been totally restored.
Twitter has really come into play again for me. It is a very powerful tool - used effectively. To do well on Twitter it is important to get a good following. I have found that retweeting helps a lot. People love being retweeted or mentioned as it gives them a bigger audience and encourages more followers.
For example if I retweet a micro blog it gets seen by my followers. In return I sometimes get a mention from said follower which is apparent to their followers who then consider following me. If they follow me, the chances are that I will follow them back.
This can be highly addictive and time consuming. There is automated software that I use and helps with sending Tweets, following and unfollowing as well as sending welcome messages to new followers. However to be truly effective it is mandatory that you service your Twitter account manually from time to time as a courtesy to your followers and have some interaction.
Since I have started helping other web owners, I am Tweeting for them and the constant logging in to different accounts is all consuming. I do think that it is worth it - if only to create the links back to your website pages.
Not so long ago it was necessary to shorten links using bit/ly or tinyurl. Twitter now automatically shortens your url for you thereby creating a direct link to the web page increasing SEO exposure.
So I am off to Tweet, retweet and follow on Twitter. Check out my Free Classifieds Tweets on Twitter
