Why Twitter Follows Are Important To Your Business

 

Like many businesses you might be wondering why you should bother with Twitter, Facebook  and the whole social media thing. After all its exactly that isn’t it, SOCIAL?

Well 12 months ago you may have been right, but not any more.

Presumably you’d like your website to list highly in Google? Well in the past, Google ranked websites based on their popularity (and it still does), but it used the links (from other sites to yours) as an indicator of how popular your website was. The more popular your site, the higher you go in its rankings.

But NOW, it also uses social media data, and it uses the data in a number of ways including:

  • How many followers and likes you have
  • Whether your follows and likes are increasing or decreasing
  • How authoritative those followers and likes are

So now we have clear evidence that search engine optimisation (SEO) and social media are inter-dependant and should form part of your overall marketing strategies.

Websites wiped out by ‘super-storm’ Sandy

Super storm Sandy has taken out large numbers of websites as power cuts hit Lower Manhattan, news sources report. Huffington Post, Gizmodo and Buzzfeed were amongst those affected.

It’s thought a battery failure at a data centre was the cause as flooding hit the building.

Some sites with co-located servers reported back on-line later but service for many remains seriously affected.

New York has been declared a ‘major disaster’ area by President Obama after Sandy caused devastating floods and caused power cuts to millions on the US east coast.

Employees @ Facebook $5 Billion Richer

 

 

 

Some of Facebook’s employees who between them hold 225 million restricted stock units see their ‘paper’ fortune materialised tomorrow at a closing share price today of $23.23.

That makes them around $5.2 Billion richer at the closing price. They have to wait until Monday the 29th of October before they cash them in and whilst it may not be quite as much as they expected earlier on in the year its still a very tidy sum.

Polar Pumps Lift Their Search Engine Rankings

Polar Pumps is a South Yorkshire based company providing commercial and industrial refrigeration, air-conditioning installations, training and maintenance.

They have a brochure style website that showcases their training courses and they recognise the need to gain enquiries from search engines (in particular Google) to promote their courses as part of their overall on-line marketing strategy.  In February 2012 they contacted us here at Real Time Web Solutions to deliver a targeted Internet marketing plan to increase their ‘visibility’ in search engines.

Firstly, we conducted keyword research to establish exactly which words and phrases they should focus on. This was critical to ensure we targeted the most cost effective and, where possible, the least competitive keywords.

Using the experience we have gained over the last 16 years in SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) we then performed a whole host of on-site optimisation techniques to ensure search engines had the necessary information they needed to rank the site well for our chosen keywords.

We then set about performing ‘off-site’ optimisation which is the process of promoting the site using external factors not influenced by the website itself.

By April 2012 we are already seeing significant results and a three-fold jump in website visitor numbers.

Five of Polars chosen search phrases such as ‘F Gas Training’ and ‘Ammonia Training Course’ are already ranking on the first page of Google despite being over 7 Million results to compete against.

Whilst it is still very early days it is clear that Polar Pumps’ investment in an Internet marketing plan with Real Time Web Solutions will prove extremely beneficial and pay for itself many times over.

If you’d like to discuss what we can do to promote your website please speak to Jayson Gray on 0844-870-8591 or drop us an email.
