Twitter is growing fast right now, and as internet marketers, we need to capitalise on this trend to ride the wave and increase our sales.

2 guys i know in the internet marketing circle Jani G & Ian Fernando have just released a course on exactly how to do this.

This course is called Twitter Traffic Exposed. http://tinyurl.com/dzq8th

While going over the sales page of this particular e-book, I was impressed and decided to go ahead and make the purchase myself. Fortunately, it was worth the money spent!

The e-book in question is Twitter Traffic Exposed http://tinyurl.com/dzq8th by Jani G and Ian Fernando. I dug right into the training and, before I knew it, had completed all 77 pages.

I have read several of the latest e-books on Twitter Ive even created a Twitter product myself. Twitter Traffic Exposed is the real deal. I didnt find a bunch of tricks and gimmicks in this book. Instead, I found solid information on both the use of Twitter and great insight on social marketing in general.

One of the things that really stood out is the importance of have a unique profile (background image) that sets your Twitter page a step above the rest. It falls right in line with something Donald Trump said on The Apprentice this past Sunday. Those who are successful in life and business have to the better than the rest, all of the time! My dad used to tell me the same thing when I was growing up son, if a job isnt worth doing right, and doing your best, its not worth doing at all.

This is only a fragment of the great information contained within the pages of Twitter Traffic Exposed. If you are using Twitter for marketing and business, or are thinking about doing so, this is a great resource.

My friend informed me today that Twitter just received the coveted PR 9 on Google (page rank) so if you arent already using Twitter, now would be a great time to get started as its only going to get bigger.

Twitter is a resource that is here to stay. Its been the talk of the television media and is quickly becoming a household term. Twitter Traffic Exposed is a great place to learn the right way to do things both on Twitter and in the world of Web 2.0.

Long story short, four stars guys! Youve created a winner here! I cant wait to get into the videos tomorrow! Many thanks!

You might have heard all the buzz about the term Social Bookmarking.

Why is it so powerful and different from other web promotion tactics?

Social Bookmarking websites are basically sites that categorize and store ‘bookmark links’ (links which take one to a

specific website). Millions of visitors flood these Social Bookmarking sites to search for information.

So the idea of bookmarking is to post links back to your web page from these Social Bookmarking websites. You need to specify

some keywords (we call them TAGS) which categorize your bookmark.

This allows others to search and even vote for your bookmark. Social Bookmarking is in a league of its own because of its

ability to generate traffic by sharing links.

Let’s see what some benefits of Social Bookmarking are .
*More Targeted Traffic
Since your bookmarks are categorized into different TAGS, you will get very targeted traffic from people searching within a

particular TAG. They will click on your bookmark link and visit your site.
*Faster Search Engine Indexing
Most of these Social Bookmarking sites have high PR, ranging from 5PR to even 8PR! Therefore, search engine spiders visit

these sites so often that your links will be crawled almost immediately!
*Higher Search Engine Ranking
Getting quality one-way incoming links is the main factor to higher search engine ranking. With Social Bookmarking, you can

get unlimited ‘keyword’ links to your site. Having more keyword links that are relevant to your site will result in higher

ranking.
*Better PageRank
Having high PR Social Bookmarking sites linked to your site will improve your site’s PR. With a higher PR, you can link to

your new/existing sites and improve their ranking too! You can even monetize on it by selling links from your site!
It sounds almost too perfect but it is not without its downside. If you run a lot of sites, you might end up getting

exhausted!

Social Bookmarking Is Time Consuming…

In order to bookmark your sites, you need to manually create your accounts at Social Bookmarking sites. Creation of accounts

doesn’t take much time because you only need one account.
So what is the problem?
The problem lies in bookmarking your pages. You have to manually login to your account at each of these Social Bookmarking

sites and add your page’s url, keywords and descriptions.
It will be crazy if you need to bookmark everyday!
In my case, I needed some kind of automation real quick and I bought most of the
Social Bookmarking tools out there.
You know what? There are 3 big problems with these tools:
1) Most Are Spam Tools.
Most of the tools are designed to spam the Social Bookmarking sites. These tools will auto-create random account login names

and passwords. Their main function is to create multiple accounts and have them bookmark the same url.
Having hundreds of accounts created from the same ip address and having terrible randomized usernames will raise a red flag.

The Social Bookmarking sites will ban your accounts for sure. Worst of all, they might even ban your ip address!
2) Most Are Over Priced With Monthly Fees.
Some of the tools are very limited. They are not designed to bookmark any sites. Some are only made for RSS feeds while

others are just plugins for wordpress blogs.
I have many landing pages selling affiliate products and they do not have RSS feeds or a blog. I cannot bookmark those pages

with these limited tools.
3)Some Are Only Designed For Certain Sites.
These tools are sold at cut-throat prices. They know most people are desperate for an automation solution and will pay almost

anything to get them.
Some even charge ridiculously steep monthly fees for easy upgrades. They make it sound complicated but it isn’t! They just

want your money!
All Have Duplicate Content Problem.
When you bookmark your sites, you will be bookmarking the same Title, Tags and Description across multiple bookmarking sites.
This will create duplicate content issues which will result in the search engines ignoring your bookmarking links.
I would not be honest if I said all of them are no good. Each tool has its very own unique feature and I have always wished I could have all those features combined in one software.

Before we start, I want to tell you something straightaway.

I hate Web Promotion. I hate it more than you do, and I always have.

Web promotion is all about getting links and traffic to sites. You can build one million quality sites but with no proper web promotion, you will never see money coming in.

Most web promotion tactics have one thing in common – trying to rank high in search engines results. In the old fashion days, I loved to submit my sites to hundreds of link directories. It worked like magic until the search engines changed their algorithms.

Then the next big thing was Blog and Ping. It was one of the most powerful web promotion system. I could easily get my pages indexed in a couple of hours and rank high in search engines.

But once again, the search engines saw this coming and as a result it is now very difficult to rank one’s websites on search engines, based on Blog and Ping.

Article submission is one of the methods I used. However, though it is still a very effective traffic generating tactic, it is also very time consuming.

I spent thousands on SEO tools and even hired an SEO expert. I spent hours doing Search Engine Optimization on-site and off-site. I did see some traffic now and then but the figures were not something i was proud of.

I was at the mercy of the search engines and was spending more time and money than I could earn!

I was desperate for a real traffic generating solution. I needed to be able to get traffic fast! To my luck, I found the very answer to my web promotion pain.
