How to get your hit rate up using Twitter


Actually its not hard. Anything that says money with a link attached is clearly going to have success. I think that sex works just as well. The problem comes in trying to tally the title to the content, ie making it relevent.

For YapYapOK the UKs newest free classified, this is not difficult. It makes sense for us to have information forums due to the number of selling catagories that we have. If we are to have sellers of books, films, games etc, then it makes sense to encourage interaction from anyone who has experience of the products out there. This is why we have a review forum. In many ways it is helpful not only to the customer but also to the seller who can opt to trade in well reviewed stock. So how is "money" relevent to the forum?

Our forum is all about information. We have a forum about recipes, products, gardening and also about investment. We also have a business category on our classifieds so it makes sense to tally this with a business/investment thread. Fortunately I can list amongst my freinds Gerald Morse. Gerald aka Investor Morse has an instinct for the stock exchange. He has been trained at the highest level and worked for some of the top blue chip companies in the world. Some clients rank as the most high profile on the planet, and OMG does he have some stories. I digress, but he has agreed, in the return for some home cooking, to publish regular money making tips on the new Investment forum. Hence the massive hit rate by Twitter!

Gerald has been known as many things, it was the publication "Private Eye" which came up with the pseudonym Investor Morse. Prior to this he was known as Gold Finger to those in the trade. He is now contactable via the YapYapOK classified website. Should you be interested in becoming either a client or learning some of the tricks of the trade then contact him via this link Investor Morse on YapYapOK

My next task is to create a relevant link for sex. Now that's gonna take a lot of lateral thinking to make this one appropriate!

Further development and site function


Sometimes during the course of any project, you can feel the enthusiasm wain slightly. Not that I am any less enthusiastic, just that I have hit a brick wall. The (brilliant) developer is working on the site this week and has had some really amazing ideas on how to progress the site further. Coupled with the implementation of the new phone number system we will be a site to be reckoned with.

The phone number system will automatically convert phone numbers to a personalised 070 number. This is not a premium rate number, although it is more expensive than conventional numbers. Revenue generated will go towards running the website. Clearly these costs will be paid by the buyer as opposed to the seller. Business will be able to compensate the buyers as their over heads will be less and they can be more competitive. This is a win win situation.

It will also mean that we will be able to offer free business hosting as well as free personal classifieds and also entire shop listing for the foreseable future.

YapYapOK free classified offers all the great functionality of the most popular selling sites and more.

PS this is a bottle of Faberge Vodka. Just listed on YapYapOK

Yapping about YapYapOK

Today I started a new forum group on YapYapOK classified site Since Yapping is what we do best. That is, we Yap about the site on Social media. We Yap about ads placed. We even have a forum enabling advertisers to Yap about their own classified and link to it to encourage visitors to that advert.

So today we started a forum for fun. So far it includes jokes, riddles, rants and even a recipe thread. Forums are a great way to instantly see how many visits your getting. I added a joke, I Tweeted the link and was instantly rewarded with hits.
