10 ways to get more Twitter followers

March 15, 2012

Twitter is a powerful social network for business. And the more followers you have – meaningful ones – the more exposure you will gain from tweeting.  (Not on Twitter yet? I suggest reading  Twitter 101 first.)

10 ways to get more Twitter followers:

  1. Write interesting tweets. This helps you get retweets, Follow Fridays, and be found in search. 
  2. Add a bio and portrait to your Twitter profile.
  3. Find people you know and follow them.
  4. Follow people in your industry and people who tweet about topics you care about.   
  5. Once you’ve followed people, interact with them!   
  6. Include prominent links to your Twitter on your website.
  7. Include a link to your Twitter in your email signature.
  8. Include a link to your Twitter in your email newsletters.  
  9. Include your Twitter handle on your business cards.
  10. Ask your employees, friends and family to follow you.  They won’t be very meaningful followers, but it can help you gain “real” followers. 

And while we’re here, don’t waste your money buying low-value Twitter followers.

Become Filthy Rich During Economic Crisis

March 30, 2009

How to Become Filthy Rich During Economic Crisis?

Popular media is painting a very bleak economic outlook. It is a time when people are confused about their savings and economic future. There are also people out there who see every challenge as an opportunity to make money. It is like Forex market to them. You can make money both ways, up or down. I have listed below the reasons why people think that this is best time in history to make lot’s of money and become filthy rich.

1. Invest in Stock Market
Stock Markets are belly up and prices are really hitting the floor. There are some really cheap stocks out there.. i.e. Google is available at bargain prices.

Economy is going to get out of recession in few months or an years time and you will get capital gains of up to 10 times of your investment.

2. Become a Producer
World population is growing. It will keep growing at this pace or faster unless people stop marrying for any reason. So starting a business that produces staple items that people need for every day use is a good idea like always. You can see you business flourish and demand for your products unaffected by economic situation.

3. Invest in Bargain Properties
Due to current housing slump, there are some great properties out there that are available dirt cheap. Investors have already started buying them. If you move smartly and quickly, you will be able to double or quadruple your investment in a very short period of time. Historic prices of the house should be a good indicator for you for making a buy or no buy decision.

4. Invest in Municipal Bonds (Yields are Historic High)
Liquidity crunch like the current one is best time to invest in City Govt. Bonds i.e New York or LA. The yields are at historic high (touching 8% in some cities). If you don’t want to take risk, It is a great opportunity to invest and still get premium return on your investment. It’s the safe heaven you have been looking for.

5. Invest in Emerging Economies
Economic melt down is global but all places are not equal. There are economies out there that will still grow at double digit pace. These emerging markets in Asia and Africa are still very lucrative. Historically, smart investors have seen up to 500% capital gains in some areas. This option is risky but the rewards are great too.

6. Invest in Staple Commodities
Demand for food and other staple items like palm oil, coffee, medical supplies will continue to rise in future. Supplies will always lag behind demand. and the demand is in-elastic for these items. you should be investing in those when they dip as the dips are always followed by a rally in prices. Gold, Copper and other metals are also a good option. but know what you are doing when you make investment in such commodities.

7. Become a Psychiatrist
With millions of people defaulting and facing difficulties in managing their financial situation, people are bound to get into mental and physical troubles. Psychiatrist will be among those making tons of money in these times as people are already flocking toward their offices. It is already hard to get appointment from any good doc these days…

I am eager to hear what you think and if you can and want to share other ways to improvise this list, please feel free to comment.

Serious Adsense PPC Tips to Increase your Adsense Revenue

January 4, 2009

Most of you guys get low paying clicks and you generally think that adsense pays very low per click but its not just a rule that adsense pays low and other pay per click programs pay you more. You need to try out some of these adsense tips and i bet you can for sure expect a increase in your overall revenue when compared to the past.

1. Try to change your adsense ad colours every fortnight or month in order to give your regularly visiting visitors a new look and feeling, and may be this can make them click on the ads which are interesting, generally its recommended to use blended ads ie ads with same background colour and same border colour of your webpage to make sure they match your website/blog’s background colour.

2. Dont Stuff your website/blog with 3 Text Ads, 3 Link Ads & Paid Search box in a hope that this would lead to a better CTR but generally this leads to a very bad result, because the visitors try to ignore the complete ad sections and tend to become ad blind, along with this you can also get a low eCPM rate because of huge number of adverts on the same page.

3. Lower amount of ad layouts on your blog/website offers you a high pay because adsense tries to show the best and most performing ads on your website and this can help you in getting more revenue with lower ad space alloted.

4. Block advertisers who seem to directly advertising on your website/blogs because this does not affect generally much on your adsense revenue but it makes you lose your important visitors and at times many of these dont come back.

5. Try to use different ad colours for Ad Title, Text & URL because this can at times offer a better CTR, rather than the case when all these 3 have the same colour. More CTR generally does offer you more revenue.

6. Try to avoid using two ad units side by side because these kind of websites generally dont get returning visitors. Many adsense users are in a belief that adding 2 ad units next to each other like 250×250 + 250×250 would give them more revenue, but this revenue can just be one time and the website can lose their visitors.

7. Use Adsense Alternate ads or colors because at times when you have some content/pages/posts which is against the TOS of adsense, or has not many advertisers you can find Public Service Ads[PSA] which generally dont pay you and its recommended to use alternative colour which can be the background colour of the same page or else by adding a alternative ad which gets loaded when there are no adsense ads.

8. Replace your current adsense search box with the new styled Adsense – Google Custom Search because this can lead to more searches as the Google Watermark is shown within the search box and many visitors cannot identlfy if this is a paid search box.

9. Show the Search Box Results on your own website by creating a page, because this can help you make the visitor stay in your website and this can help you make more money because the visitor may either click on any of your ad or just subscribe and this helps in the long run.

10. Create Channels for every ad unit you add on your website and check out the performce based on the revenue, CTR etc and compare them, You can remove the low performing ones or try to blend them to make sure they perform well.

11. Try to avoid using referrals, because generally the Adsense Referrals pays you when someone converts in the form of leads/sale and this is very low performing service when you compare your referral’s income with generally pay per clicks system. In normal contexual ads you get paid more when you compare the overall results.

12. Image ads generally pay very less and cover the whole ad unit, when compared to text ads which generally have a bigger ad options and more rotations within the adunits. Also visitors generally dont like the image ads on your websites which you can find by testing and comparing the results of a certain period.

13. Implement Section Targetting which can help you to get more relevant adverts on your website/blog based on a certain section of content, check out how to implement adsense section targetting.

14. Setup Adsense Goals and make a small percentage target for every month which can be from 5-20% hike every month and for this you need to develop your website in terms of content, seo, ads optimizations etc. If you have some predefined goals you can surely achieve them slowly on time intervals.

15. Setup a .mobi version of your most popular version and implement Adsense for Mobile because this can for sure help you out make some extra money when the mobile phone users use internet mobile phones to access your website and clicks on the ads.

16. Try to implement adsense ad units on your left side column of your website rather than the right side column because its experimented and proved that this kind of ad placement can lead you to better Click-Through-Rate[CTR]
