2 Deals may bring revenue for Twitter
-by Timothy Caron

Hey Guy’s and Gal’s, I’ve got some of the latest scoop from the NYTimes that talks about Twitter bringing in revenue through the likes of Microsoft and Google.

In a recent article posted by Claire Cain Miller pubished today from San Francisco she states:

Back-to-back deals on Wednesday to make the company’s steady stream of posts available to Microsoft and Google’s search engines may point to a potential new source of cash. How large, however, is not known. The terms of the deals were not disclosed and Evan Williams, Twitter’s chief executive, said in an interview that revenue was “not the focus of the deals.”

She also stated that Microsoft did not plan to put ads on its Twitter search service for now, and Google said ads might appear at a later date.

You can read the article hear.

It is evident that Twitter has far surpassed the expectations of Microsoft, Google and even some other Social Media websites, and has become a force to be reckoned with.

With the advent of real time search capabilities, how do you think this will effect your over all social media strategies?

Also, do you think this will effect how your optimize your website for the search engines.
I’d love to know your thoughts.

Until next time, have a wonderful day

Must Have Features for your Web Site

Just don’t focus on the home page, keywords and titles.
The first step to sales when customers visit your site to see the products they were looking for. Of course, search engine optimization and better rankings can’t keep your customer on your site or make them buy. The customer having visited your site, now ensure that he gets interested in your products or services and stays around. Motivate him to buy the product by providing clear and unambiguous information. Thus if you happen to sell more than one product or service, provide all necessary information about this, may be by keeping the  information at a different page. By providing suitable and easily visible links, the customer can navigate to these pages and get the details.

Keyword Density

Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the web page. But mind you, keywords shouldn’t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places.

If you repeat your keywords with every other word on every line, then your site will probably be rejected as an artificial site or spam site.

Keyword density is always expressed as a percentage of the total word content on a given web page.

How Do Search Engines Work- Web Crawlers
