A month ago, I joined twitter at last… I did it because it is one of the social media marketing sites that I have not been a part off and I felt a little out of the new era. I head a lot of buzz about the social media marketing network especially from FOX news and even CNN. So one night, I gave in and did it.

So to give a short introduction to all who doesn’t know what Twitter is…

For those avid users of the Google Toolbar like me, Google performed an update to the PageRank scores about a week or so ago. The initial update was not informed or publicized at all when it happened. However, Matt Cutts from Google did eventually confirm this update on his Twitter and said, YUP…. it indeed happen.

From the effects of the update, many of the website’s pagerank went up and some came down. There were a majority that initially had their PR as 0 and now they went up to 2. Still the website’s page rank does not solely indicate the performance of the site when it comes to search engine placement but it is still a factor to consider.

With the tremendous growth of internet users, there are now millions and millions of blogs out there are just waiting to be commented. As you all know, blogging is not easy, it takes a lot of time. To utilize some of this time efficiently with return advantages, you can comment on these blogs about 50-100 times a day. If you think about it, you can potentially get yourself up to 50-100 backlinks to your own website. Up to 100 comments may sound like a lot but it is really not. You can spread your time throughout the day, for example, comment on 10 during your break, another 10 during the commercials and so on.

I do not suggest that you comment on just any type of blogs out there on the net. Look for relevant high ranking blogs that you can comment on. To find all these relevant high ranking blog, I recommend bloggers to use Blog Comment Demon. With this software, you input the keyword you are targeting and before you know it, thousands of blogs appear before you, waiting to be commented. You can further refine your search. You can choose to display only wordpress blogs, or drupal, or type pad etc. You can also choose to display only blogs with certain PR or above. This software is easy to use and effective, plus it will save you a lot of time. Try it out and get a refund if you think it’s junk!

Here are some pointers:

1. Do not leave short comments like “nice blog”. That’s almost always rejected because it counts as spam.

It is quite amazing now a day the numbers of sites that goes up each day. However most of those site owners are only knowledgeable of how to build a site. Most of them do not have a sense of understanding, on how search engines actually work and do not know about web crawlers.

All in all, we all know that ranking high on search engines is the major source in bringing prospective customers and viewers to your site. So why not learn a little more about how search engines work.

Search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, utilizes what they call “spiders or crawlers” to index websites into their search database. When a site owner performs a directory submission of their site, the search engine spider is the one responsible in indexing your website. The “spider” is an automatic program generated by the search engine companies. This spider algorithm visits a website, crawls and remembers all the contents of the site, including the site’s Meta tags, and follows the links that the website connects to. Once this task is completed, the Spider returns all valuable data to its database and enters it in to the search engine system to be included in the listing. Keep in mind that spiders will only index a certain number of links from your site, so please keep it average and not include 300 pages or so.

Think of the spider as an inspector, it will always come back to your site to inspect any changes that has been done over a period of the time. This period of time depends on when the site moderator informs the spider on when changes usually occur, it can be everyday, every week, every month, etc.

A “blog” is short for “web log.” A web log is an online diary or journal. The main aspect blog is that it is frequently updated – at least once a week, sometimes every day or even more. Since blogs are regularly updated, they tend to carry more value than regular static HTML pages (in some cases).
