One of the best ways I’ve learned on how to get Twitter followers is by using the Tweet Spinner tool. With Tweet Spinner, you can use one of two different Twitter auto follow system. One is based on keywords and the other is based on a specific Twitter profile.

Tweet Spinner provides a robust set of filters you can set, so you don’t follow spammers or people who don’t contribute value to your social network. If you set your filters properly, your reciprocal rate will be 50% or better, which is better than any other system I’ve used in the past. I choose not follow anyone whose account is less than 90 days old, has less than 500 followers and if their friend/follower ratio is greater than 75%, they won’t be added to my Twitter auto follow system.

764 New Friends 385 Added 50.3%

Using the Mimic feature, you select a specific Twitter person and decide if you want to follow their followers or the friends or both. In this filter set, this account got a 42.6% reciprocal following, which is still better than any other Twitter auto follow system I’ve used in the past. What’s nice about this tool is that once you set your filters, you’re done. No more clicking the follow icon anymore, a real time saver.

2,525 New Friends 1,076 Added 46.2%

Filters

Under the “Follower Manager” heading, you will find powerful filtering options that you should take advantage of. The first, “show/edit filters,” is broken down into four parts.  The “show/edit follower filters” lets you choose how you’re going to follow users on the service. This is further divided into two parts:

  • General Follower Filter: You’ll be following users with Tweet Spinner, and based on other criteria, you can pause the rate that you follow users for a specified amount of time.  You can also set a specific follower-to-following ratio, and if you exceed this point, the system will stop following any additional users.  Further, you can limit the frequency of your following behavior; for instance, you may choose to follow 30 people at any specific time and then cool down for a bit so as not to be too aggressive.
  • Specific Follower Filter: Let’s say you’re going to follow some users.  They need to meet specific criteria (of your choosing) before you go ahead and proceed, and this will apply to the various types of following options that Tweet Spinner offers (to be discussed).  These are:
    • The number of friends and followers they have.  If they have too many friends and not many followers, for example, you might not want to follow them.  You can set the follower-to-following ratio range in this section.
    • Number of friends. You can also follow users who have a specific number of friends (e.g. between 40 and 40000).
    • Age of account. You might not want to follow Twitter accounts that are 3 days old.  You might also want to see that they are future upstanding members of the community.  This is the section where that magic is made.
    • Tweet frequency. You might choose to only follow active users (who tweet between 1 and 100 times a month, for example) and not users who are either way too inactive or are too excessive.
    • Tweet activity.  You might want to follow users who have sent tweets recently.  Why follow someone who last tweeted in January of 2008?  You can set a day here.
    • User-filtering/pruning. If you’ve pruned them before, why would you follow them again?  You might not want to, and here’s a way to prevent the system from re-following someone you’ve unfollowed already.
    • Location. If you’re a local business, you’ll go crazy with the ability to follow Twitter users who are based on a geographic location. I believe that location filtering is based on the location listed in the bio, so someone entering their latitude and longitude will not be followed by this system.
    • Tweet content: URLs.  You might want to follow real people who are engaging.  If a high percentage of the user’s Tweets are filled with URLs, you might not have an interest. You can specify the percentage threshold here.
    • Tweet content: @replies: You also might choose not to follow people if they are a broadcast tool. If their tweets contain more than a user-specified percentage of replies, you might opt in.  After all, it shows that they’re involved in their Twitter stream.

Specific Follow Filters

With this filter system, all the criteria you set must be met before a person is followed. This is Twitter marketing automation in motion and how you save yourself many hours of manual marketing tasks by using this powerful software.

How to Find Twitter Leaders?

How to Find Twitter Leaders

When you have a Tweet Spinner account, you also get access to Follower Wonk. This sister tool, let’s you find Twitter people who are leaders in a specific niche. Again, so long as you set your filters right, you won’t get casual or low level accounts in your Twitter circle. I set the friend / follower ratio high to make sure the people I follow have the right set of metrics I look for in a Twitter friend / follower.

If you follow me a Twitter and send me a DM with your niche, I will send you the Top 50 Twitter people in any category you choose and a link for you to get a test drive account of Tweet Spinner so you can see for yourself how well this tool does the job.

Google Buzz combines the features of Facebook and Twitter and applies their search and location expertise that will allow Gmail users the ability to share photos, videos, web links, information of all kinds and a whole lot more, both on your PC or your smart phone.

Web Traffic Flow is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test… since I really don’t like to buy web traffic.

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel.  It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless-they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

Click here to get Web Traffic Flow

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive. I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads-the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into “Web Traffic Flow” links.

You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Web Traffic Flow Ad Generator, which is very easy to use.  You can create as many links and as many ads as you like.  And they are organized in a logical way-links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you’ll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login.  Very smart! I like free web traffic.

After you’ve created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to increase your website traffic. Just use and promote the new Web Traffic Flow link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Web Traffic Flow link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Web Traffic Flow. So when anyone clicks the Web Traffic Flow image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It’s a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

[ Example #1 - TEXT Only ]


[ Example #2 - IMAGE Only ]


Now every time the ad window displays (and your Web Traffic Flow links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members’ links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally-meaning as you make referrals into Web Traffic Flow (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Web Traffic Flow image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep.  So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Web Traffic Flow also.

Before I signed on with Web Traffic Flow, I looked at the sites that joined before me. I figured, this was a good litmus test, because if there were successful guys using the system, who was I prejudge its merits. As you will see, there are some major guys using Web Traffic Flow.

I didn’t get to test the full effect of a big down line yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated – my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed.  Web Traffic Flow even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays.  That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit which might be the best of them all – downline emailing.  You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Web Traffic Flow really shines.  They took time to make the emailing often enough that it’s valuable as a user, but no so often that it’s a burden to your down line.  But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again.  Now THAT’s cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Web Traffic Flow.  It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. I highly recommend anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising versus having to buy web site traffic to explore this more.

If you’ve run any online advertising campaigns, then you already know that ordinary advertising usually sends…

  • the WRONG message to:
  • the WRONG people at:
  • the WRONG time…

Even the “gurus” are guessing at best! You know the drill. You do your homework, you do your market research and hope you’ve got the RIGHT offer going to the  RIGHT traffic and you cross your fingers that you’re timing is RIGHT and that a decent percentage of the people who see your offer will click through to your link when your offer is delivered to them. Sound familiar?

Let’s face it… online advertising is a lot more complex and a lot more competitive than it used to be. This is why 80-90% of online marketing campaigns fail to make a profit, even for those who are considered to be the best in the business.

How to Target gMail in Google AdWords

It you’re like me, you’re also looking for new and proven techniques that deliver profitable results. That’s why, right after I saw this video, I immediately took action, got the program, went through the training, learned the technique and implemented in a handful of my marketing campaigns.

gMail Advertising Mind Tricks

After only a few days, the results of these gMail advertising campaigns produced far better results than any AdWords campaigns I’ve ever run in the past. Here’s why:

My Message are being delivered at…

  • Exactly the RIGHT time; to
  • Exactly the RIGHT people; with
  • Exactly the RIGHT offer

Ultimate Targeted Traffic

It doesn’t get ANY better than that. Using the hidden technique, I’ve simultaneously tackled 3 of the biggest online advertising road blocks to success with this underground gMail Advertising Mind Tricks and it’s probably one of the COOLEST tactics I’ve ever come across.

Wanna know how it works? Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How to spy on your customers personal emails
  • How to get the perfect message to them for pennies
  • How to “piggy back” on all of your competitor’s emails
    and a ton more…

All of us Internet Marketers are looking for ultra cheap traffic and ultra targeted traffic that converts. Getting your message in front of the right person, at the right time with the right offer before they hit the Google Search engine will give you a competitive advantage.

Watch this video right now before its gone for good. [it might already be too late]

Making Money on Twitter is easier now with the launch of reTweet.it

reTweet.it is a free and paid service that makes getting retweets easy, allowing you to reach an exponential number of followers on Twitter. reTweet.it is a great way to help you get your message out to hundreds of unique individuals on Twitter. When another reTweet.it user retweets your message, it has the opportunity to be seen by all of their followers.
reTweet.it has a 50 follower minimum for users who would like to retweet messages. This means that if you get 50 retweets, your message has the ability to be seen by 2,500 different users. Now imagine if you got 300 retweets, the potential is exponential!

What is reTweet.it

reTweet.it is both a free and paid service that makes getting retweets easy, allowing you to reach an exponential number of followers on Twitter. Retweet.it is a great way to help you get your message out to hundreds of unique individuals on Twitter. When another reTweet.it user retweets your message, it has the opportunity to be seen by all of their followers. We have a 50 follower minimum for users who would like to retweet messages. This means that if you get 50 retweets, your message has the ability to be seen by 2,500 different users. Now imagine if you got 300 retweets, the potential is exponential!
How It Works

Submit A Tweet
Before you begin, you must first login. First, enter your message and be sure to keep it short and to the point. Next, enter how many credits you’d like to use. It’s better to submit a few different retweets over a day or two, rather than using all of your credits at once. After the two fields are filled out, click the submit button. Your message will then be made available for others to retweet to their followers.
Others Retweet It
Once you’ve submitted a tweet, other users can easily post it to their profile. All users must have at-least 50 followers, so your message has the possibility to be seen by 50 people per retweet. Some of my Followers have 20,000 Followers. Imagine if your message received 20,000 retweets!

Buy Retweets
If you’re ready to take your marketing to the next level, consider buying one of their (3) three retweet packages. The starter package has a good starting price and enough credits to take it past using just free credits. Their most popular option, the $10 package, offers a balance of retweets and price. Their final package, which is the best value, gives you a hefty 300 retweet credits for only $25 – making it an exceptional value.
Their Twitter Followers See Your Tweeted Message
The traffic and exposure goes further than just the retweets. If you purchase 100 retweets, your message will be introduced to every one of those users followers. Since there’s a 50 follower minimum for all reTweet.it users, your link has the potential to be seen by tons of Tweeple and like I said, some of my Followers have over 20,000 Followers. Imagine if your message received 20,000 Retweets!

Conventional wisdom would suggest that getting your weblog ranked on page 1 of Google for a competitive keyword phrase is easier said than done.

In actuality, getting my weblog ranked on page 1 of Google for the competitive keyword phrase Social Media Money Makers has proven to be easier than expected.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been following a new methodology using both free and paid for Internet Marketing Tools that help me to identify high quality backlinks to prove a point: you can in fact get your weblog listed on page 1 of Google for a competitive keyword phrase, so long as you adhere to a few basic SEO principles..

  • Identify and acquire high quality Backlinks from Authority sites

  • Leave relevant “anchor text coded” comments on the high PR sites

  • Optimize your weblog articles using solid on page SEO methodologies

  • Don’t eat the elephant in one bite – drip feed/link to these high PR site

Right before the ball dropped in Times Square to close the decade, I began to deploy my new model. As a matter of fact, I uploaded my last YouTube Video of 2009 at midnight (EST) showing how a single well placed anchor text comment on an Authority site (Mashable) bumped my Alexa Score by over 10,000 in less than 30 minutes.

On December 31, 2009 my Alexa Score was 251 and change. Today (January 12th) my Alexa Score is 219 and change and my traffic has also seen a spike in my visitor count. I know my writing skills haven’t improved dramatically in these past 2 weeks.

I make sure to optimize my blog articles with properly coded H1 tags using All-in-One SEO-Pack. I visit Google keyword tool for search counts and download the TEXT file into Market Samurai and Micro Niche Finder to make sure the keywords I want to get ranked on have the right mix in my 1st and past paragraphs and meet the 2-3% mix, spread through out the entire blog article. I have my special word press plug-in pushing each article to my social networks, using the ShareThis widget and I make sure to track the key metrics to see if this is working as planned. So far – so good.

I recently bought an eBook from a smart guy via the Warrior Forum on how to increase my exposure and generate even more organic | free traffic using his link wheel model. Phase 2 of this ongoing case study will entail adding links to:

adding to my existing inventory of high quality authority backlink sites in social media marketing so I can compete in the competitive social media marketing space.

I’m a member of a few neat Ning Social Networks. I plan to engage other like-minded members with a survey / contest type combination. My objective will be to measure the number of  Facebook Friends visit me Blog vs. my Peers on the various Ning Networks I’m a member of.

As an incentive to provide me input and feedback on my case study, I’ll be offering:

  • Google Wave Invitation
  • 30 Quality Backlinks (PR 5-6-7)
  • 50% discount on my new e-Book
  • The Grand Prize (all of the above)

Summary

If you found this article via Google, the Warrior Forum or my YouTube Channel then this Conact 7 Form won’t make much sense to you. However, if you did come to visit by way of the Ning Viral Network or Paul Coleman’s Viral Tactix Portal or my Facebook page or the special #195599 source – then you already know the drill, so kindly complete the form below following the instruction set provided and I’ll make sure you receive the appropriate incentive gift for your valued input and feedback.
