Use The Power Of Article Marketing To Get Listed On Google In 2 Days And Make Money With Even Needing A Website. Use Social Networking Sites Such As Facebook And MySpace To Make Money, Or Use Your Twitter Followers To Promote Your Website.

Twitter recently announced that it has changed its title tags for profiles, making a big impact on how high these pages are ranked in search engines.

The news can be either good or bad, depending on who you are! For those who want visibility, it will be a blessing. Others are going to have to adapt.

If you tweet for informational purposes then the changes couldn’t be better. But if you tweet about your mother-in-law’s annoying habits or why your colleagues could give David Brent a run for their money, then you’d better wise up to increased search engine exposure.

Let’s take a look at the changes, using the US President as an example. I used the Wayback Machine to view his profile, as it appeared in 2007. Take a look at the title tag in my browser.

2007 Format: Twitter / Username

In contrast, today’s format looks like this: Full name (username) on Twitter

Small change – big results!
So, what can you expect when you search for someone’s personal name?

If they have an online presence, you would usually see their profiles on social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and My Space amid Google’s first two results pages. With the recent changes, however, you’re likely to see a person’s Twitter page rank highest of all.

It makes me wonder what Twitter will do next, as I’m certain we will see a few more changes made to benefit search.

Interestingly Google has also undertaken a Pagerank update that has slashed the ranking of many Twitter pages. Twitter itself has risen from rank 8 to 9, but most profiles have dropped – from 8 to 6, from 7 to 4 and so on.

Staying on the same topic, Facebook announced yesterday that it is also changing its link structure. The site plans to use the usernames as the URL extension instead of the current, randomly assigned number.

For example:

Facebook has posted:

We’re planning to offer Facebook usernames to make it easier for people to find and connect with you. When your friends, family members or co-workers visit your profile or Pages on Facebook, they will be able to enter your username as part of the URL in their browser. This way people will have an easy-to-remember way to find you. We expect to offer even more ways to use your Facebook username in the future.

Is this recognition that Twitter is one step ahead of the game, having already propelled ‘Tweeters’ to higher search rankings than MySpace and Facebook profiles?

Either way, it’s safe to say that the changes are going to have a big impact, just as the Twitter changes did. And from my point of view, it’s great that these social sites are finally becoming more search friendly.

The Sony Ericsson C902 is a prudent man’s phone. If you want ‘everything’ with an affordable price tag then this mobile is for you. This sleek sophisticated mobile is styled for simplicity with power. Like other phones in the cyber shot series it has a very effective camera resolution that offers you unparalleled photographs.

Sony Ericsson C902 is the latest 3G phone into the Cyber shot series of Sony Ericsson. This is an innovative produced with is loaded with some exclusive features and has a simple and decent outlook. This phone wins heart with its unique slide up lens cover. It’s a classic-style handset, but ultra-slim at just 10.5mm. The keypad is a good old-fashioned one that has convenient-size square keys giving tactile feedback and enabling fast texting.  It has a metallic trim out on the boundary that ensures the elegance in this phone. It has a monster camera of 5MP that features smile detection, image stabilization, auto focus and flash. The camera is actually concealed beneath a mini sliding cover. When you slide the cover open, the phone switches to camera mode. Although its a Cyber-Shot phone, the C902 has great music capabilities too.

Battery life is adequate, but ultra slim phones tend to have shorter battery lives than conventional phones, which isn’t surprising. The smaller screen size certainly helps to reduce power consumption; however the battery life will be an issue for most users.

The secret to building success in your business is to have a big contact list. Here are some tips on how to start writing your contact list and also some opportunities for expanding your network.

1. Write a list about all the people you already know:

Relatives Friends Neighbors If you had a wedding then all the names on the guest list (Ex)schoolmates (Ex)teachers Co workers People saved on your cellphone People in your beauty salon/barber shop Anyone who sold you anything (clothes, shoes, cars, computer, furniture, food, drink, etc) People in the following services that you know: banker, accountant, plumber, painter, doctor, etc Your friend’s friends (for example, your children’s teachers, your friends neighbors, etc)

Depending on your age, there must be a minimum of 300 names on your list.

2. Email shops, stores, saloons that might be interested in your product or service

Look for shops, stores, saloons on Google and email them by introducing your service or product. The email should be no more then one and a half pages including:

a short product or service introduction that will grab the person’s attention immediately (eg.  why it is unique, what would be beneficial for them, etc) your contact details a photo of the product or a relevant photo about the service (might be a company logo)

If there is no reply for about 10 days then send them another email with some new, interesting information about your product or service. The statistics shows that 15 % of the emails will be replied. Always follow up because you will never know who you will meet and what kind of new relationship you can have with that person.

3. Social Networking Websites

Start building your business online too!

Register on social networking sites and look for people who have the same interest as you do. Here is a list of some of the most famous Social Networking Websites:

Facebook MySpace Bebo Friendster hi5 Orkut PerfSpot Yahoo360 Zorpia Netlog Tagged

Attract people, make them interested in you and your business!

4. Business Networking Websites

The Universe will bring the right people to you!  There is no such thing as ‘get rich quick’. It takes time to develop relationships with people and develop your own group.

The advent of numerous social networking sites have set a trend in the virtual society which is so prevalent in today day and age. You will hardly find anyone in your office who does not have an account with one of the several social networking sites. The most popular among them being Orkut, MySpace, Tagged, Facebook and Twitter. Given the fact that most of the profiles are publicly accessible its no wonder that a lot of cyber crimes and abuse is happening via these networks. It great to network with so many people while sitting in the comfort of your home or office but its equally important to be savvy about it. There have been numerous accounts of abuse on networking sites mostly with respect to girls. You can network a lot more safely if you follow a few golden rules.

Avoid Posting Pics

This has to be most important measure you would need to take as a girl to protect the misuse of your pics. Usually the profile pic in MySpace or Orkut cannot be misused much due to the size restriction, but ensure that you don’t post any close up pics on your profile. It is almost mindless to post personal pics for public access. There have been several incidents of misuse reported to the cyber crime departments in various states. The offenders are usually teens of enjoy morphing pics to give it a sexual overture. The last thing you would want is your dad calling you up to inform you that some colleagues in his office saw your nude pic on a profile, it is the easiest thing in the world to morph pics. It is difficult to track the offender in most cases. You can obviously get the pics removed by placing a complaint with the site maintenance group but the damage would already have been done. You can post your pics for private viewing entailing your close friends or relative to view it.

Avoid Personal Information

I am surprised at the number of profiles which carry information about their mobile numbers and the company they work for. This is ridiculous because you are making yourself vulnerable to any misuse of this information. In fact the last thing you want is to put your company information on your profile. If someone from your company like your manager gets to see your profile and saw how blatantly you had displayed the company name for everyone to view while maintaining a shoddy list of comments, you can get fired. People might even start contacting you to get a job in your company. Never display any personal information on public websites, that’s just common sense.

Clear Unwanted Comments

Just like you clear unwanted mails from your mail account you should follow the practice of clearing unwanted comments from your Myspace or Orkut account. In fact you should take care to delete personal comments from your profile or hide them. Personal information available via accessing your comments can in many cases be a free ticket to abuse. There are several graphical myspace comments available which can give your profile a jazzy look, but personal information contained in any of these comments can be problem something as simple as your birthday date.

Don’t Talk To Strangers

Your mom always used to tell you this and it is just as applicable to the virtual world as it is to the real world. Never make friends with stranger who approach you without any reference. Social networking is about building your network with a sense of security derived from the fact that any new people you make friends with is already a friend of your friend, that’s the beauty of it. So unless you are sure of the reference don’t add people to your friends list and worse don’t end up sharing information with them. This applies more to girls since most of the abuse is usually targeted towards them.
