I've decided to post this again, which is actually dated way back May 8, 2009. And im glad that the spam blog warning sign from my dashboard has been lifted! Read on!
How prevalent is Spam? According to Scott McAdams, OMA Public Affairs and Communications Department (oma.org):
"Studies show unsolicited or "junk" e-mail, known as spam, accounts for roughly half of all e-mail messages received. Although once regarded as little more than a nuisance, the prevalence of spam has increased to the point where many users have begun to express a general lack of confidence in the effectiveness of e-mail transmissions, and increased concern over the spread of computer viruses via unsolicited messages".
In 2003, President Bush signed the "Can Spam" bill, in December of 2003 which is the first national standards around bulk unsolicited commercial e-mail. The bill, approved by the Senate by a vote of 97 to 0, prohibits senders of unsolicited commercial e-mail from using false return addresses to disguise their identity (spoofing) and the use of dictionaries to generate such mailers. In addition, it prohibits the use of misleading subject lines and requires that emails include and opt-out mechanism. The legislation also prohibits senders from harvesting addresses off Web sites. Violations constitute a misdemeanor crime subject to up to one year in jail.
One major point that needs to be discussed about this: spam is now coming from other countries in greate numbers. These emails are harder to fight, because they come from outside our country’s laws and regulations. Because the Internet opens borders and thinks globally, these laws are fine and good, but do not stop the problem.
So what do you do about this? Her are the top 5 Rules to do to be protected from spam.
Number 1: Do what you can to avoid having your email address out on the net. There are products called "spam spiders" that search the Internet for email addresses to send email to. If you are interested, do a search on "spam spider" and you will be amazed at what you get back. Interestingly, there is a site, WebPoison.org, which is an open source project geared to fight Internet "spambots" and "spam spiders", by giving them bogus HTML web pages, which contain bogus email addresses
A couple suggestions for you:
a) use form emails, which can hide addresses or also
b) use addresses like sales (at) company.com instead of your full address to help battle the problem.
c) There are also programs that encode your email, like jsGuard, which encodes your email address on web pages so that spam spiders will find it difficult or impossible to read your email address.
Number 2: Get spam blocking software. There are many programs out there for this. (go to cloudmark.com or mailwasher.net for example). You may also buy a professional version. Whatever you do, get the software. It will save you time. The software is not foolproof, but they really do help. You usually have to do some manual set up to block certain types of email.
Number 3: Use the multiple email address approach. There are a lot of free email addresses to be had. If you must subscribe to newsletters, then have a "back-up" email address. It would be like giving your sell phone number to your best friends and the business number to everyone else.
Number 4: Attachments from people you don't know are BAD, BAD, BAD. A common problem with spam is that they have attachments and attachments can have viruses. Corporations often have filters that don't let such things pass to you. Personal email is far more "open country" for spamers. General rule of thumb: if you do not know who is sending you something, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. Secondly, look for services that offer filtering. Firewall vendors offer this type of service as well.
Number 5: Email services now have "bulk-mail" baskets. If what you use currently does not support this, think about moving to a new vendor. The concept is simple. If you know someone, they can send you emails. If you don't know them, put them in the bulk email pile. Spam Blocking software has this concept as well, but having extra layers seems critical these days, so it is worth looking into.
Concept Gadgets in 2009: The See-Through Internet Tablet
There are many gadgets around to choose from at the moment, some are very useful, others are more gimmicky but from looking at the gadgets coming out, the technology that is emerging is fascinating and very impressive.
Take for example the Polaroid Pogo that has quite recently come out, this gadget allows users to connect the gadget wirelessly via Bluetooth to their mobile phone or computer for example and then to print out any photographs that they have saved. The Pogo prints the pictures onto credit card sized pieces of paper, which can also act as stickers, using laser technology. As well as this being cost effective it also means that you won’t have to be constantly refilling ink cartridges.
It is amazing to think that Polaroid came out with the first instant camera in 1947 and is still re-inventing it to this day. However, the Polaroid Pogo is out now and you could go shopping tomorrow and buy one but there are many more ideas that may not be in the shops yet but that are non-the-less still very impressive and could be more than just concepts sooner than you may think.
One such design is for a very impressive internet tablet that will have; a touch-screen, scanner, built in camera, WiFi, Google Maps, Google Search and Image Search. When using Image Search on this device, you will be able to hold up the device to a building and get an image search result straight away.
Using Image Search, you can even locate a building, touch a floor and then get a lot more information on the building and also that particular floor. However, it isn’t just buildings that you can find out more about, you can search for a variety of things, including; car models, the type of food served at a restaurant, names of insects and even information such as; who built a certain bridge.
On top of all of this, the internet tablet allows you to use the scanner to check the meaning of words in a book, magazine or newspaper article. Theses features are all very useful and would no doubt appeal to a variety of different people in different lines of work.
This device is still only a concept but if you are in search of a new internet enabled device it may be worth your while shopping online and comparing the prices of different laptops or netbooks.
The Polaroid Pogo is available to buy at the moment and you go out shopping tomorrow to buy one, unfortunately, the see-through internet tablet is still just a concept.
If you are looking for a new internet enabled device now, it may be worth shopping online for offers on laptops and netbooks.
P.S. - I would like to mention
the generousity of Mr. Gill and that im grateful for his help.
Thank You!

Internet Download Source
It has been said that you can find pretty much everything online, if you only know where to look. Resources such as free music, free movies, free ringtones, free softwares and even free ebooks can all be found online. Needless to say, the Internet is a goldmine of sorts.
It must be said, however, that there are several issues which arise from the avenue of downloading free resources from the Internet. For one, there is the issue on piracy. Internet downloads give rise to more piracy. It must be noted that Internet downloads are also responsible for popularizing these artists or movies, so arguments for and against piracy stands on even ground. It has been said that because of Internet downloads, the artistic landscape had been diversified, thus widening the creative expression for artists. This is perhaps the reason why many genres for music and movies had evolved over the years past. This can be said to be a benefit to the arts.
While there are arguments against Net downloading, what can not be denied is the fact it has sprung a lot of benefits to the arts and even the software industry. These benefits are patronage and recognition.
A lot has to be said about patronage and recognition, as this is what most artists, as well as software engineers aim to do, to take pride in the fact that what they make is being patronized by those in the business. While of course, some of those are against net downloading would say that revenue is the primary driving factor of most companies who make these materials.
Net downloading, while it may be a fun past time and resource, is serious business. The propensity of net downloads, along with viral marketing, are what determines whether an artist makes or breaks it in an industry.

Finding Creativity in Web Design
Web Design is all about the content but that doesn’t mean you can be creative about it. There are thousands out there who deviated from the status quo and made their design outrageous and still attract a huge following. Of course, this goes without saying that too much is still a bad thing. Even if they went a little overboard with the design they can still say that their content is what matters.
These websites are what’s called flowing websites. They are websites that show the best of visual design and still make their content their centerpiece. It takes a good eye and a good amount creativity to find the balance with the two elements. One can easily overpower the other making it seem off for your visitors.
According to a Southern California website design firm, Crest Media inc., you can’t ignore the fact that a website is all about the content but that shouldn’t hold you back in making a visually impressive design. The design should capture your visitor’s eye when they land on the page, but after that it should be all about the content. A homepage or a splash page can be done with a good amount of aesthetics since they were meant to invite the visitor to explore your page. After that, you should lessen the eye candy and give them what they came to your website for.
These types are call flowing websites since even their design are about the content. The design should be about what you’re trying to say, it would be awkward if you’re talking about one thing and pointing in another direction. All it is about common sense, it isn’t because that’s all you need but it’s simply because that’s what most people who surf the internet run on their mind when looking for something they need. A good idea to run by when doing web design is capture them at first sight then keep them there by focusing on the content.
If you want to see some examples, I suggest you visit this Southern California website design firm’s website at www.crestmediainc.com, you might pick up a few pointers and apply them to your own work.

Apple Mac Mini MB463LL - A Desktop - A Quick Review
If you are looking for a small, stylish, and powerful CPU unit, look no further than the Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop. Measuring just over 6-inches in length and width, it is easy to be fooled by its stylish yet unassuming appearance. This little machine is a powerhouse of features with enough computing power to handle the heaviest of any personal computing task.
The Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop is a stand-alone unit, where you will have to add in your own monitor, keyboard and most. It comes with a 2.0Ghz Intel core 2 duo processor, a sleek DVD drive, a 120GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM (upgradeable to 4GB). It also has a built in speaker and is Bluetooth ready.
This new model features many environmentally friendly features. For starters, it uses less than 13 watts of energy on idle mode. It is much more energy efficient compared to many other desktop models and is Energy Star certified. It also uses PVC-free materials and components and has a smaller packaging to conserve the use of materials and resources.
Each unit of the Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop comes with iLife'09 and the new Mac OS X10.5 Leopard operating system. According to apple, this new edition of Leopard features the biggest Mac OS upgrade ever. New features include the Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces and major feature additions to Mail and iChat.
The powerful graphics card will have to be one of the biggest reasons why many choose to purchase this model. It comes with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphic card that is purportedly five times more powerful than previous models. Thanks to this powerful graphic processor, you can run multiple graphic intensive applications at the same time without a glitch.
All in all, the Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop proves to be a good buy for Apple fans. Nevertheless, there are many cheaper (and sometimes more powerful) alternatives out there in the market, such as the HP Pavilion Slimline S3700F, MSI Wind Nettop, and the very tiny Asus EeeBox.

The World Looks Great with Digital Cameras
The simplest definition of a digital camera, or digicam - as it is sometimes called, is a type of camera that is used to take still, video photographs or even both, by a digital technique of recording the images through an electronic image sensor or lens. When the camera went digital, the way we visualize the world changed dramatically.
It is no wonder that the traditional camera is an endangered device. Photographers, both amateur and professional, have realized the infinite capabilities of a digicam. For one, a digital camera can actually display an image immediately after recording it and thereby let a photographer decide on the quality of a shot when he or she still has the opportunity for a retake. If the image is not up to the desired standard, it can be discarded without having to go back to the studio. If the image is accepted, a photographer can simply store it and a thousand others in addition to data in the compact memory devices incorporated in digital cameras. Further, there's an ability to record sound to accompany both video and still photographs.
That is not all. Digital cameras are ultra-compact devices that can be carried inconspicuously everywhere one goes. Smaller formats of a digital camera are now incorporated in most streets, vehicles, roads, PDAs and cell phones. Indeed, digital camera technology has given the world eyes to see everything at all times. Specialized cameras like spy cameras, telescopic cameras among others are armed with the same technology.
Better images can be captured and transmitted onwards within seconds; streets are safer, traffic easily coordinated and great moments easily recorded all because we now have digital cameras and their derivative technology. The world really looks great through the digital lens.

Laptops - Best Buy - Best Use
The world of computers has indeed evolved to becoming more and more sophisticated over the years. From the 20th century analog computers, today's computer systems are virtually digital allowing these computers to process more accurately than the analog sliding rule to a system that processes using binary numbers. In addition, computers of today come in a wide range of features, capabilities and sizes. One thing for sure is that size does not determine the capability of a computer alone. Thus, laptops are certainly among the best finds gadgets of today.
Both the desktop personal computer and the laptop and notebook can be for either personal or for business use. In fact, these things find equal significance with respect to ability to communicate with networks, capacity to store and run programs, ability to track one's financial activities, providing entertainment and many other uses. However, today's world compels every individual to move around; students do their academic work elsewhere than just in the house or dorm, businessmen meet clients outside of the office, and there are several activities that require mobility.
You would never see someone doing business or studies while carrying around his or her PC, mouse, and keyboard. This is why notebooks and laptops are must-have devices today. These electronic gadgets have both the hardware and the software comparable to the PCs but at the same time provide you with the advantages of compactness, lightweight, portability and convenience.

Hunting Down Spyware and Adware with the Free Spyware Killer
Many of us hate spyware and adware. Unless you are a web developer that has two spyware and adware programs tied to your credentials, possibilities are you belong to the majority of web browsers who seek the help of anti-spyware removal programs to kill spyware and adware infections in their PCs.
There are a few ways to kill or remove spyware infections. A lot of them quite straightforward and easy. However, there are occasions when the PC has been too infected by a multitude of spyware programs. In that case the best answer would be is to format the drive of your PC.

Neverless, there are plenty of anti-spyware and anti virus programs out in the market that may be able to identify and remove or at least quarantine spyware utilities and their infected files efficiently.
Anti-spyware and antivirus creators are working overtime to keep up with the development of spyware and adware programs. They need to release versions of their anti-spyware uses as fast as they can, or they'll be overrun by spyware's development.
The most effective way, naturally, to rid your personal computer of these cryptic and irritating spyware is to hinder them from entering your system in the 1st place.
An oz of prevention is way better than a pound of cure, as one says. You must be wary on the web sites that you browse.
Do understand that the majority of the spyware programs attach themselves to numerous ads that contain adult contents.
The diverse porn sites in the Net are a cesspool of spyware, adware, malware and viruses. If you spotted not related pop-up adverts that constantly appear as you browse the web, this is a sign that your personal computer is infected by spyware programs. You need to also remember that when you find a spyware software installed in your personal computer, it isn't alone.
If you find one, then your PC is most probably a host to many spyware and adware programs. Each of this spyware and adware may even install their own sets of elements which can be discovered in different locations of your PC system. It is reasonably lucky a number of anti-spyware scanning and removal tools available area able to find and take the main spyware application as well as all its embedded elements.
One other symptom that shows your personal computer has been a victim to spyware and adware infections is a slow system. When it takes your personal computer like forever to load an application or perhaps go to the Windows desktop, there is a huge chance that spyware and adware has found their way in your operating systems and are obstructing the ordinary speed of your applications.
But why do spyware exist? Basically, spyware applications are fantastic selling tool. They enable advertisers to target precise audiences for their campaigns.
The pop-up adverts when viewed from an objective view point serve audiences or shoppers by providing related links to similar internet sites and services. But because spyware applications have been used at length, have been abused and have been used for devious activities, they became more of an annoyance overshadowing their potential bonafide benefits.
Among the anti-spyware scanners and cleaners available, SpyBot and Ad-aware are a couple of the preferred programs. These 2 are among the best spyware and adware killers in the industry.

Rackmount Monitor: Technically & Economically Beneficial
A cost effective solution over large CRT monitors is the
rackmount monitor. A Rackmount LCD is ruggedly packaged within a steel or aluminum enclosure and capable of being mounted in a server equipment rack. A major benefit of using a rack mount display is that it eliminates the need to manage rack space with bulky monitors. These monitors are built with a Samsung grade A TFT LCD panel and have a stylish front panel with easy to use menu keys. The sturdy design of these units makes them shock and vibration resistant and are ideal to use in many environments. Additional options include USB & Serial touch screen support, audio, DC power and a variety of inputs. A rackmount monitor supports plug & play functionality and does not require additional drivers or adapters for setup.

Guidance To Follow When You Upgrade Your Smartphone
Every year a lot of people take into consideration for a smartphone upgrade just to keep in touch with the evolving technology, which nowadays moves at quite a pace. Through this time we can often get so wrapped up in the new phone we are going to receive that we don't stop to think for a moment what to do with the old one. I would like to offer some advice that will lead to two great beneficiaries when you upgrade a Smartphone or cell phone to keep up to date with technology, yourself and the environment.
Firstly, many people do one of the two greatest mistakes when buying a new phone; put the phone in the drawer to gather dust and clutter the storage space, or even worse it ends up in the trash. We will discuss the effect of the second of these shortly, but first it has to be said that when you upgrade to a newer Smartphone there is money to be made from the old phone, meaning a great benefit for you, and an upgraded Smartphone at a discounted price.
The number of phones, including Smartphones that are dumped in to landfills each years is astonishing, and growing, however you can play your part in being green and helping the environment whilst getting paid for it and enjoy your Smartphone upgrade knowing you got your new phone for a great price and helped the planet – If everybody that upgraded their Smartphone was to do this we could make a tremendous impact on the e-waste issues with just this method, so please be sure to spread the word to your friends and colleagues.
The process is simple and can be done before, or during your Smartphone upgrade, from the comfort of your own home you just visit a website, fill out some simple forms and they send you the packaging to return your old Smartphone – free of charge, they cover all costs of packaging, shipping and insurance (providing you select the correct company to trade with). I recommend a site that deals with just Smartphone trades, this way you know you are getting a dedicated service from a professional team, and this for sure, will make your Smartphone upgrade an easy and enjoyable experience.
So when you upgrade your Smartphone don´t let the old one sit and gather dust, or release harmful toxins into our planet, be constructive, be economic, be green, and most importantly, be paid for it. Visit www.cashforsmartphones.com and see just how simple it is to turn your old phone into cash to reimburse you for your recent or upcoming Smartphone upgrade.

Save your ink cost with Continuous Ink Systems.
Continuous Ink Systems are the revolutionary new ink systems. They are designed to make printing more efficient and effective. In contrast to conventional ink jet printer cartridges, CIS are a bulk feed solution, which means that you get more ink.
Continuous Ink Systems were introduced in 1999, however had a significant growth in the consumer market over the last few years. The Continuous Ink Systems came over the ink jet printers. The problem associated with regular ink jet printer cartridges is the cost. The price of cartridges varies depending on the printer model and brand. However because cartridges contain very little ink - there is very little value.
Continuous ink systems use ink tanks which are designed to sit beside a printer. Due to which Continuous ink systems result in a saving of approximately 90% due to the bulk feed. This means that the consumer can print photos and other media without having to worry about ink usage and the high costs of cartridges. In today’s scenario, people own expensive digital cameras and have the convenience of printing excellent quality image from their homes. CIS finally give consumers the freedom to print their media in an affordable and efficient way.
The price of Continuous Ink Systems has dropped dramatically over the past 2 years as Chinese engineers realized its market potential. As a result Continuous Ink Systems
is the most attractive ink solution on the market.
If you've got an inkjet printer, chances are you've seen the highly priced genuine ink the manufacturers sell. There a lots and lots of 3rd party companies that make ink for leading manufactures at a fraction of the cost. Because the ink is so cheap, we often get inclined to buy the low-priced ink. Unfortunately, cheap ink will give bad results.
The best solution to this is to buy a continuous ink supply system. Granted the supplier provides quality ink, it's much cheaper than buying genuine ink and you don't have the problem of blocked and clogged print heads. The system acts like a giant cartridge by feeding ink to the printer when required.
My deepest gratitude to:

Subject: How to Rank High on Google
To rank high on Google, your website has to be measured by “500 million variables and 2 billion terms” of Google’s equation, as stated on Google’s Corporate Information Technology Overview page. Google’s ranking system is based on a democracy, and the citizens are the links on the worldwide web that vote for each other. Not unlike our government today, many of these “links” are paid for, and some are of greater value. Ranking high on Google is playing politics. Links and Keywords are the key players in the ranking game. Google also takes into consideration the full content of the page including HTML codes, fonts, subdivisions and the “precise location of each word.”
Links are votes. You must develop a link strategy. Google likes linking things together. Create a rich network of links with distinct quality content. Your website must have quality links going out and coming in. Quality is the key word. Links from reputable pages (which ironically includes .gov pages) are given more weight than links on “link farm” pages. Linking to a “link farm” is one of the worst things you can do and can potentially get your deported off the web. The better the links, the better your ranking. Google will factor in your page content and the content of the pages you link to. Do your research. Google has a free page rank tool on their toolbar. Use it to find out the page ranking and visit the site.
Google also gives more weight to one-way links that lead to your site, and less weight to reciprocal links. How do you get these? Buy them. List yourself in a reputable directory listing. Make sure you are listed in the Open Directory Project (DMOZ.org). If you can’t buy links, write good content. Give someone a reason to link to your site. Again, the keyword is Quality. Submitting articles and press releases are also strategies in the linking game.
Keywords are your platform. They are what you stand for. Words count. Graphics don’t. Make sure your words are not in graphic form and make sure you have relevant titles under your graphics. Start with your title tag. Put everything you stand for in ten words or less. Make your URLs short and keyword specific. Brand yourself. If you type in soda, Mountain Dew will not show up on the first page. If you type in Mountain Dew, it will be on the first page. Brand yourself so users know what they are searching for. Do not put the same words in every heading and every tag. Be descriptive. Sell yourself. There are multitudes of free keyword rank and suggestion tools. Use them as a supplement to your knowledge of your company.
Think of every element in your website as words and pages in a presentation that is going to be up for a vote. Does everything fit? Is it all related? Are you a reputable company with a quality product? Does it sell? Now sell it. Google is waiting for you.

Netbooks: Genuine Portable Web Access
In the early years the PC was primarily a plaything for science enthusiasts and technology geeks. To bring computers to the masses, something was needed that would engage the user and be of genuine use to them, something that we now know has revolutionised the way people live their everyday lives. And that, of course, was the internet. Enabling people to tap into the global community 24-hours a day, the internet has changed the way people communicate; helping to bridge time and distance barriers.
But there has been a tremendous change in the way people use and access the wealth of information that’s available in cyberspace. What was once a handful of networked computers found in libraries and shared amongst many users, is now affordable and technologically advanced enough to be in the majority of homes across the UK.
Moreover, one of the main changes is that the internet has been transported out of universities, libraries and homes and is now ubiquitous almost everywhere we go - airports, trains, coffee shops and even in our pockets. In fact, mobile phone technology and PDAs have advanced to the point where we can surf the internet at any time and at any place.
But whilst internet access on pocket devices does have its uses, much of the true value of the web is having large screens with a broadband network connection. And this is where laptops help to bridge the gap between home and office-based desktop machines and pocket-sized mobile devices. However, many laptops aren’t as portable as they otherwise could be and may still be too big to carry around for long periods of time. This is where netbooks come in, as they are gradually starting to fulfil their potential as being the next logical step towards enabling genuine portable internet.
Netbooks were originally designed for emerging markets as an affordable, small, network-enabled computer. But over the past few years, they have gradually begun to win over a sizeable market share from laptops. Given that the main advantage of buying a netbook over a laptop is that it offers wireless internet access for web browsing and emailing on a device with a screen size as little as five inches, it’s hardly surprising that they are starting to gain popularity with business professionals too.
Acer netbooks have proven to be a particularly popular choice on the market. However, with a growing demand for fast internet access on the move, it’s likely that many more of the computing industry’s leading brands will be fighting for a market share in the months and years ahead.
And this will be another chapter in the remarkable transformation of the humble PC of only a few decades ago to the slick portable models that are available today.

A beginner’s guide to using adsense

In this way it will appear as if the ads are an extension of the main article.
Google adsense provide a wide variety of ads and it is up to you to choose the one that suits your site. For instance a Skyscraper can do well in the right sidebar of your blogs and can significantly improve your CTR. Skyscraper can do well in the right sidebar of your blogs and can significantly improve your CTR.

Adsense is indeed a great way to earn money on the Internet. I for one can say that all the adsense gurus are right. There is real money in it. But you should not rely only on traffic to increase your earnings. It is also important that you work on your ads placements in order to increase your CTR.

Twitter and online business
Twitter was created in 2006 by Jack Dorsey. It has gained extensive notability and popularity worldwide. It is often described as the "SMS of Internet".
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers). Twitter extremely valuable to any e-commerce site.
Simplicity has played an important role in Twitter's success. People are eager to connect with other people and Twitter makes that simple.
Online business
Most people shop online for convenience rather than customer service. And while inroads have been made into providing better customer service online, the personal aspect is often still missing. It’s the ability to have conversations with customers that makes Twitter extremely valuable to any e-commerce site.
Listen to Your Customers
One of the best things about twitter is that it gives you a readymade platform, in which the online business can directly communicate with its customers; listen to their feedback & demands. Brick-and-mortar retailers have the benefit of physical presence of their customers when they are making purchases. But, e-commerce merchants may be unaware of customer problems or questions unless they are contacted directly or worse, if the customer publishes a complaint online. With Twitter, an e-commerce business can monitor what people are saying about its brand and products and respond with assistance.
Be Personable
Twitter also gives the online business to create & build upon their brand perception. Internet shopping is usually impersonal. Ecommerce sites often try to connect with customers via blogs or comments, but Twitter makes it much easier to have direct conversations with customers and also show a bit of personality.
A Bit of PR Is Fine, Too
It's okay to use Twitter to provide useful information to your customers as long as you are clear about your intentions and can do a bit of listening as well. Sometimes customers just want to know when you have a sale. In fact, Dell was so successful in using Twitter to alert followers about sale items that it has now set up a separate Dell Outlet Twitter account that offers discounts exclusively to followers on Twitter.
Getting Started
The best way to get started on Twitter is to learn as much about it as possible. Sign up for an account, listen to what people are saying and find interesting people and companies to follow.
Using Twitter for Your Site
Once you’ve decided to use Twitter to promote your online business, it's important to fill out your company profile and upload an image that your customers will recognize. Make sure to identify the people within your company who will be monitoring and using the account, and the more people tweeting the better. Unless you already have a very reputable and popular brand, your company will probably need to use your Twitter account for a while before people will want to follow it. Encourage your customers to follow you on Twitter by adding a link to your website, your emails, business cards and any other place with company contact information.
Twitter Tools
There are some tools to make Twitter easier to use. For example, Twitter offers widgets on its settings page which you can use to put your Twitter updates right on your website. You can automatically send updates to twitter by using twitter-feed to import items from any RSS feeds you have, a good way to let customers know about updates from your blog or featured items on your site. Monitor what people are saying about your website design company and products by using tools like Twitter’s search or Tweet Scan. You might also try applications such as Tweet Deck, twhirl, or Twitterific to post updates and have conversations on Twitter.
If you are looking for a ecommerce,website design company that can really help your business. I would really give these guys a go, they have over 10 years experience in SEO and I found them extremely helpful.
