Since creating the Baldydog Facebook Fan Page, we have really not done too much with our fan page. However, the other day, I got a Google Alert for the our company name “baldydog”. I opened the email and saw that the Facebook Fan page was the mention..kind of strange, since I had not posted anything on the fan page in quite some time.
Not thinking about it too much, later on that day, I came across a post on Facebook or Twitter that Google is now caching Facebook Fan pages, but not the millions of user pages. I think the person that left the messege might have been a little annoyed that their personal face book pages were not going to show up in Google.
So knowing that these pages will now be seen by not only my Facebook fans, but also anyone that might come across them on Google. Cool, that just might provide me a little bit of incentive to post on it more frequently.
Why yes of course you can sell ads on your Twitter account. Will you make a ton of dinero selling ads on Twitter? I seriously doubt it. Below is a list of services than can help you to sell ads or buy ads on Twitter. I have only used several of them. I also started using one a while ago, and ended up sending out more than a few tweets for teeth whitening products..got to hate those ads.
10 Ad brokerage Services for selling out your Twitter Followers
Twittadd The first Twitter advertising service I tried . I did check it out and the rates make it really seem to be a waste of time unless you have a huge following in a seriously profitable niche.
This is no way means the list of all lists of Twitter advertising services. If you have used any of these or any others, please let me know your feedback.
What do you think?
Is advertising on Twitter or selling tweets a good or bad idea?
If you have not been on your Twitter account lately, you should be aware of Twitter Lists, which is the new feature that Twitter just released last week. This is the feature that allows the Twitter user to create groups.
Lists enable the user to group users according to any variable that they choose. Some Examples:
Geographic locations(Philly Bloggers)
Occupations (Web Developers)
Family(My family and friends Twitter accounts)
Work(business contacts)
Hobbies(mountain biking)
The uses are limitless.
Lists can be both public and private. You don’t need to follow someone to add them to a list. Adding profiles to a private list does not let them know that they are on the list, but adding a profile to a public allows the profile to see that they are included on a list. Twitter takes the word privacy serious.
When would I want to use a private list?
keep track of my competition.
Using Twitter for research that you may want to keep private.
Keep all your amorous profiles secret.
Keep your family profiles secret.
If you are ghost Tweeting, you can create a list of the profiles that you tweet on to have easy access to the stats.
In short, Twitter Lists are here, stop in and check them out.
Some Other Twitter List Tips:
Got an idea for a list, then create your list and then add profiles.
When you are added to a list, your Tweets will show up on the Twitter list stream.
If someone adds you to a cool list, not a list of “jerks”, then you might want to consider not only following the list, but also consider following the person.
Automatic Twitter updating whether it is adding followers automatically, adding tweets automatically, or getting followers automatically is a a growing industry. It also may very well be the downfall of Twitter if the Twitter team does not establish some sort of control over the automation of Twitter. Much like FFA(Free For All) pages of years ago,Twitter is at risk of becoming a spammers playground.
I too am guilty of using automated programs on Twitter. Recently I began experimenting with some services that enable the automation of your Twitter account. Be warned again. Be sure to give your followers some good tweets, not just automated tweets from feeds.
TPO or Twitter Profile Optimization, is a term I coined this morning at 3am. I see in the SERP’s(Search Engine Results Pages) there are sites that appear for the phrase, but I will take credit for the TPO and actually defining it.
TPO Could actually be a career much like SMO(Social Media Optimization), which it could be niche career of as well.
TPO Duties
Set up Twitter profiles for companies and individuals to include registering and tweaking the profile page.
aw that the Facebook Fan page was the mention..kind of strange, since I had not posted anything on the fan page in quite some time.
