Social Media Marketing with Blog Commenting and Forum Posting

Posted in Social Media Marketing

 

Posting in forums is very effective when applied properly. The same techniques can be used when commenting on blogs. Think of it this way... When you post on do-follow blogs and forums you are gradually building backlinks to your site. That is the slow but eventual impact your posting will have on your site. Then when you make each of these posts you have to make absolute certain what you provide is relevant and informative.

 

You have to consider that anything you put in cyberspace with a link back to your site is going to be a pre-sell. If you don't provide accurate information or you give terrible advice it will have an immediate and negative impact on the traffic you receive from that site. First impressions do matter, and you want the first and subsequent impressions to be good impressions. Once you have done this, you will steadily grow a following. So you will have not only instant traffic from posts once people trust your advice, but you will also have traffic from the SEO the posting is providing you.

Twitter Ranking Tools Reviewed: Twitter Grader

Twitter has a number of tools that do everything from check your rank to follow or monitor tweets based on keywords. This post however, is going to focus on the checking of your ranking in Twitter. Now these tools aren't perfect, but they do give you a general idea of how well you rank amongst your twitter peers. The first tool that comes to mind, and one of my favorites is "Twitter Grader". Twitter Grader takes a bit of a Google approach to ranking twitter profiles. It bases its rank not only on the number of followers you have, but also on the number of tweeps you are following. In addition it bases its decision on other factors as well like how often you tweet. If that weren't enough it also checks to see how complete your profile is, and uses that as one of its determining factors in ranking twitter profiles. The best part is you don't have to include your login and password to Twitter. All you have to do is enter your Twitter User Name into the text box as seen below.

A couple of days ago, I mentioned the use of the "Twitter Grader" ranking tool. Today I am going to talk about another ranking tool, "Twitterholic".
