If you’re like me, you’ve reluctantly moved into the world of tweeting; and it’s not because you need another excuse to be glued to your mobile device or need something else to read when you grab your laptop or future iPad (the name still makes me cringe a little). No, you’ve finally embraced the fact that the world of marketing is moving forward without you and you don’t want to be left in a virtual cloud of dust.

Maybe you’ve been excited about the current wave of social media madness and just haven’t had the time or energy to learn how to maximize your online presence because you’re too busy providing your award-winning customer service with real humans!

Whatever the case, it’s time to grab the bull by the horns and tell the virtual world that you’re ready for it and make your statement: HERE I AM! The days of writing clever keywords (relevant ones are still okay), page descriptions, and creative meta tags in your website’s coding are gone. Trying to trick Google into thinking you’re a bigger deal than you actually are might help you briefly but will ultimately (and inevitably) result in your site’s removal from their listings altogether. I’ll tell you what is important. Lean in really close and I’ll give you the secret…. TRAFFIC! The best way to tell Google and other search engines that you’re there and you’re kind of hot stuff is to show them that people want to visit and are visiting your website.

By combining the power of social media websites, you, your website and your blog can be on your way to hits galore and generating traffic that will make search engines enjoy crawling your site and more importantly indexing your site. Don’t miss out on all the easy ways you can be taking advantage of the tools that are already in place for you.
