For those of you who love Twitter, but who are also marketing mavens, you’ll be really interested in a new application that I found out about today. It’s called “Market Me Tweet,” and instead of having your tweets say, “From TweetDeck” or “From FriendFeed” or whatever, what if they could say “From Your Business Name” with a link to your business?

How cool is that?

I tried it out today, and it totally rules.

The set up isn’t click and do, unless you’re already really Twitter techy and have set up apps before, but there’s a great video that walks you through the process, step-by-step. After watching that, it’s really a no-brainer.

So, you open the little app on your desktop and voila! Tweet and brand, my friends. Tweet and brand.

And the best part? It’s free.

Here’s the link: http://easyseotricks.com/tweetbrander

You totally need to go and get it!

(And since this is free, though I am an affiliate, I’m NOT being paid to tell you this.)

SEO: Omnivorous Google?

15 December 2009

In a news article at Telegraph.co.uk yesterday, Google’s vice president for search products and user experience, Marissa Mayer, says that Google is getting ready to have the ability to translate search results into any language, and to have the sites translated for you when you click through.

So, if someone in the U.S. searches a topic and the results include information from a German newspaper, the results would be in English, rather than German, and when you actually got to the site, it would also be in English rather than German.

That feature alone would have helped me when I researched materials for my biographies of the The Dalai Lama and Mohandas K. Gandhi. That might have been pretty sweet, but translations aren’t always up to par. Yet, that’s just one area where they’re making advances.

Mayer says that in the last 70 days, there have been 38 new search products that she has overseen. That’s pretty danged aggressive, no?

Here’s another one: continue reading »

Twitter: wr…wr… ong!

30 November 2009

I admit it… I made a foolish blunder.

I trusted my SEOQuake add-on for Firefox to tell me about Twitter. It was showing that I had links coming back from my profile and that they were “do follow” links, when ehhhhhhh….  (See http://ovblogger.com/1694/google-ranks-twitter-profiles/)

Someone questioned me on this, and so, I went into the page source for my Twitter profile page and there you see it  [rel="nofollow"] right in the code.

Somebody shoot me.

Everything I wrote in that Twitter post is wrong. Don’t use your Twitter page for sending links anywhere because the spiders can’t follow them. So, it really doesn’t matter if your page is a PR10, it doesn’t help.

But here’s the thing that will be cool: The most visitors you get to your Twitter profile and the higher your page rank goes, the higher your profile page will go int the SERPs. You ‘ll get traffic to your links just because people want to find out more about you. So…

Tweet away. Don’t go nuts thinking that you’ll get link juice from Twitter, though, because it just ain’t going to happen.

Grr… SEOQuake. I really like that add-on, but if I have to go back and double check everything it tells me… ppfffftttt!!!

Mea culpa.
