Social bookmarking can definitely help you with your online business. Web 2.0 sites can help you increase backlinks, generate buzz, and attract human visitors to your site. People that follow you as well as the general public will see social bookmarks and could visit your site and could promote that link to their own followers.

I have been doing social bookmarking since 2006 and it has definitely helped my online business. More and more of my writing clients are asking for these services from me so I have recently added a social media specialist to my writing team.  Visit SEO Writing Solutions - Order Social Bookmarking Services for more info.

Businesses can benefit from Twitter in many ways. Social media optimization is something more companies than ever are looking for help with. In addition to SEO and SEM, SMO (social media optimization) is an area that can definitely help you succeed online. And if you don’t have time to manage your Twitter account, a ghosttwitterer can do it for you. Ghost-tweeting is something I do for several clients and here are some of the ways that it helps them (and can help you, too):

  • Find followers that may be interested in your product and / or service
  • Share links to articles, press releases, promotions with the public
  • Develop your online image
  • Increase brand recognition
  • Give potential customers more information about your business
  • Answer queries / questions
  • Manage your online reputation

Using Twitter for business is increasing in popularity. You can use it for sharing information, for data mining, and business intelligence gathering. Twitter can drive sales, improve your website’s SEO, and more. Small businesses use it, large corporations use it, and entrepreneurs use it, too. Regular everyday people use Twitter and those people could follow you, read what you have to say, and click on your link, too. A skilled social media consultant can help you make the most of Twitter. 140-characters isn’t a lot of room and you’re already very busy so if you need help, feel free to contact me through the sidebar in this blog.

If you want to get found online on Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, you need to be indexed by search engines. SEO writing can help with that.  There are a number of ways that the content for your site can be written to enhance your rankings and your sales. Hiring an SEO writer can help.

Search engines index individual pages and if the right words are on your pages, people looking for those words will find you.  For that reason, website owners should choose a handful of words that they want to rank for. A qualified SEO writer can help you rank for those words in several ways, including:

  • Optimizing your existing web page content (on each page) for those words
  • Writing new content for your site based on particular keyword phrases
  • Doing off page optimization activities that can increase your website’s popularity, begin the selling process, and drive search engines AND people to visit your website.

A writer specialised in SEO writing should do more than stuff content with keywords.  Keyword article writing needs to accomplish two things:

  1. Get the page recognised by Google as relevant to that topic
  2. Pique the interest of the reader and / or compel the reader to buy

SEO copywriting requires a delicate balance of keywords and sales writing that not everyone can achieve.  Having one (either one) without the other won’t work.  Great optimization in search engines can bring you traffic but if the words on the page don’t compel the reader to take action, it doesn’t matter how much traffic you get.  Great sales copy without keyword optimization will mean that most people won’t be able to find you. If you’re looking at your website analytics and scratching your head either about high traffic with low conversions or high conversions but low traffic, an SEO article writing action plan can help.

Here’s what I’d do if you contacted me about my writing and SEO services:

  • Look at your website to look for any obvious issues of why you’re not getting traffic or why you’re not getting conversions
  • Look at your website analytics reports to see what keywords might be good targets
  • Talk to you about your goals for your site and your prospective target audience
  • Make a plan to help you improve your search engine rankings and increase your sales numbers
