Over these few days, i learned about a few more cool tools, so i would better make a new post.

twitterless (keep track of your followers)

tweetvalue (see how much your twitter account is worth)

tweetstats (see the twitter stats, like how frequent you’re using, which people you’re talking with most, the time you’re using twitter, number of post on a monthly basis, etc)

twitterfeed (blogs automatically for you on your twitter account, it feeds from your own blog post)

Okay, just want to share this few sites which is nice to know.

Now, you can build a lot of traffic from twitter alone, and here’s how you do it.

1. Build followers in your market, by posting, reading and answering people tweets.

2. Regularly adding people to your twitter profile.

In early Mar 08, i talked about using facebook in your networking and since then…my network has balloon to over 250+ buddies and i make a lot of new friends, including those big names! And i have many connections from there.

Check it out here!

Man, you simply couldn’t under-estimate the power of the social media network.

To talk more about that, i started to explore into another web2.0 tool that many people are using, that’s Twitter! Have you been twittering??

Add me here!

In fact i just started playing with them yesterday and i have already got 2 people following me. I really like the idea of social media stuff where you can connect with almost anybody on the planet earth as long as they are on the internet.

I see that social media or web2.0 is the way business should move forward, even for a small business like home-based internet business.

Every business is really about connection, and connection would not happen overnight! You need time to build it.

So do something today, and connect with people in your market and you will never know who you will came across.

Talk soon,

Thomas

Have you heard of Tracking202 beta?

I believe a lot of people would love this tool! Before i go any further, beware that this a third party tool, so they have every right to access to the information that you have with them and probably the niche that you are in too…since the main purpose of the tool will be tracking the keyword / campaign conversion and profitability.

The creator Wes Mahler is a PPC expert and he knows his stuff! So, if you need some PPC tracking tools, give this a try. You can find tons of videos, blog posts and there’s a forum as well.

Tracking is definitely the key to winning the PPC game, if you don’t track what you are doing, It’s very difficult to stay in this game.

So, do implement a tracking plan that suits your need. While i personally do track my campaign a lot (as in daily) and i would say that i don’t track down to keyword level at this moment. Unless the keyword is generating a lot of view for me.

That’s all.

Have you been using any Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising for your marketing? like Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and etc..

While PPC can be very effective and drive immediate targeted traffic to your website with just a few clicks, but have you wonder if you are paying too much for your keywords in order for your ads to on the top few positions? That’s very common for those keywords in internet marketing nowadays.

Well, I have found an alternative to that. Check it out!

It is a high quality traffic exchange network that works very much like Adwords and Adsense.

Check it out.

I stumbled upon this really cool service called “Odiogo” that can instantly turn your existing blog posts into Audio / Podcast with just a click of a button. You will notice that there is a little button on top of each of my posts, you can click that “Odiogo” button to listen to my posts. It is especially useful if your post is super long and this service would give your user an additional choice of going through your post.

Oh, other than turning your readers into listeners, you are also offering your listeners to subscribe your posts through iTunes or Juice, that would give you additional traffic.

All these for free!
