BlackHat SEO News & Reviews

When I first saw Twitter, I thought it was the dumbest trend I’d ever seen in online social media. Now I see it as a way to take advantage of other people’s popularity and get your name out there. If you use Twitter the way it’s “intended” to be used, your benefits will be really small compared to what you could get.

I’m not, however, recommending you get one of those apps that makes spam accounts and spams people on Twitter. That’s a cool deal, but not the way I would use the site. Here are a few tips and tricks to taking more advantage of Twitter but also staying under the radar.

• Go to TweetLater.com and set up your account to forward the emails you get about getting followed to their autoresponder, which you can put in a brief welcome and plug your site. This can get you lots of traffic and goes to people’s INBOX.
• Find somebody popular on Twitter (like Shoemoney, who has over 5,000 followers) and start following their followers. Many will start following you, and getting your emails. That’s like STEALING a guru’s email list!
• Once you’ve maxed out, stop following some of the old people and start following others. Many people won’t notice you’re no longer following them even though they’re still following you.
• Don’t send more than 10 tweets per day, and don’t include links in every tweet. You want to APPEAR like a normal white hat user.
• Create more Twitter accounts and target specific NICHES. People who follow Willie Crawford are likely to be internet marketers on the Warrior Forum, for example. Start to target niches by who people follow and match your promotional tweets to the interests of those people.

This little method is simple but can make you a twitter celeb and get some good LASTING traffic to your site.

Notice how everything goes in: nothing comes out.

Google favors these kinds of sites. Sites that link off to others are quickly being outranked by those that don’t link. How does this work to your advantage?

Get all the links you can, as fast as you can, however you can.

How? Here’s one suggestion:

1. Sign up to as many social bookmarking sites as possible.
2. Create 10, 20, 500 accounts on each site. The sky is the limit.
3. Link to the pages of your sites from the accounts.

Get more and more and constantly more links. It’s really the best way to outrank.
