The SEO News Blog from Pat Marcello

You know, I really love Twitter, and I want to provide some great stuff for my Tweeps. Only problem is that I have little time. I can’t do a lot of surfing and posting. So, I do it about once a day at the end of the day, when I’m really tired.

But…

I found a way to automate my Tweets and still give my Tweeple some very cool stuff through the power of Yahoo Pipes and TwitterFeed.com .

First set up your pipe. To do mine, I chose some IM blogs… This one, of course, and DearTellman.com and ListBuilding Blog. I then included some SEO and blogging blogs that I really enjoy reading.

Then, go over to TwitterFeed and set up a free account. Permit it to have access to your Twitter account, and then, add the feed for the Yahoo Pipe.

Last, set up in “Advanced” settings how often you want to have TwitterFeed post to your Twitter account. I have mine updating every hour with 2 Tweets. That keeps me in the game!

And all I have to do is post to my blog. TwitterFeeds and Yahoo Pipes takes care of the rest.

Wow.

   I just recently started using Twitter. I know, what cave was I living in, right? Anyway, I found a similiar tool called TweetLater and I want from having 14 followers to having near 400 in 5 days! It’s a great tool. I love Twitter now, it’s loads of fun!

   That’s a pretty cool way of automating the process of sharing great content with your twitter list.

   Thanks for the share!

   Hey Chris…

   Be careful with the automation. Sending out Tweets is OK, but Twitter frowns on adding followers automatically. One of my friends had an account shut down because he was using Hummingbird. Just giving you a heads up.

   I’m an organic follow girl. I think that building a follower list of folks that are in tune with your message, rather than a bunch of random folks is way more effective. Having a list of tens of thousands won’t do you any good at all if the people never read your Tweets.

   Eh?

   For Twitter automation i’ve got to say Twimbo from iq143.com was one of the easiest to set up and one of the more intelligent bots.

   It only took a few minutes to set up and it’s currently priced low for early adopters. My traffic has doubled since using it and I now have a great following on Twitter. I’ve even had new paying customers as a result! Winner.
