Twitter Traffic Machine Review

I've set up my Twitter Traffic Machine with
great results.

Installation was easy with both video and
PDF guidance provided.

The viral traffic system uses free web-based
software to create a steady flow of new,
targeted Twitter followers.

In the last three days I have gained an
additional 300 followers.

I could have grown my Twitter following a lot
more with the Twitter Traffic Machine
but I wanted to limit my followers to selected
people (using specific tags). I could have used
broader terms to get more followers but the
advantage of this system is that you can make
your recruiting very targeted. This way you only
get followers who are interested in the areas that
you want to write and share about.

Now my Twitter follower numbers increase with
each hour of the day.

This gives me a much larger target audience to
share with. It has enabled me to leverage my
blogging and article writing.

I can tap more easily into relevant Twitter conversations
because I have a wider range of contributors to the
themes that I am interested in.

The Twitter Traffic Machine has also enriched my
experience of Twitter. For example, I came across
these two sites and joined the relevant groups:

1. Squidoo Twibes
2. Squidoo Marketing

How to become a Giant Squid

How to Qualify:

You need to create 50 great Squidoo lenses.

Benefits:

From Megan Casey (Editor in Chief, Squidoo)

"1. Access to our (secret) Giant Squids blog and
RSS feed, full of first-looks at new features and
insider tips.

2. A private email address to reach us about
Lens of the Day submissions.

3. A Giant Squid badge on all your lenses.
(And your bio/profile page too).

4. Gold stars on all your published, featured lenses.
Gold stars not only look nifty to your readers,
they also give you a little LensRank boost.

5. Your shot at making The Giant Squids Top 100
list, a list of the top Giant lenses, sorted by LensRank.

6. A Custom Lens Template tool. This one's BIG.
You can have multiple customized lens templates,
to help you pre-populate new lenses with modules
and copy that you like. Makes making lenses faster.

7. Did we mention first crack at our coolest new tools
and features? For example, the Giants got to hear
about HeyMonkeyBrain, Squidaholic.com,
the new dashboard, the Lensmaster Bio redesign,
MagicBuilder, Prediction module, and lots more
--days before the rest of Squidoo.

8. A chance at being featured on the
Giant Squid Community Showcase.

9. The power to nominate! When it's time for
the next round of new Giants to join the ranks
Giants can nominate the people they think
really deserve it.

10. No daily lens limits. Here's another big one!
You can start as many lenses a day as you want,
and you can have as many unimproved lenses
under construction as you need. We trust you.
We know you're going to build them out eventually.

11. Greenlighting. Have you heard of, or run up
against, our SquidDon't spam filter? It checks lenses
for language and topics that are not welcome on
Squidoo. But quite often, while we're playing it safe,
there are false positives. And that can be
frustrating. So we're greenlighting all our Giants,
so you never get stuck in the spam filter again.

12. Bonnie, Patti and Robin: your Giant Squid
Organizers. Heck yes they're a perk (to quote
Napoleon Dynamite). They're in your corner,
constantly representing and supporting and growing
the Giants program. That might be an intangible,
but it's an important one.

And there are new giant perks being
added all the time!"

For example, 60 Giant Squids will get to have a
phone hook-up with Seth Godin shortly to discuss
questions and future directions for Squidoo.

There are lots of resources to help you become
a Giant Squid:
How to Become a Giant Squid
Giant Squid Mentor

If you want help to become a Giant Squid,
you can contact me through Squidoo (via one of
my lenses).

Twitter Traffic Machine: Build your profile and your followers

I've resisted buying any Twitter traffic program to date.

What convinced me to purchase Twitter Traffic Machine
was:

1. the very reasonable price
2. the ability to build targeted Twitter followers
(not random followers as with some other programs)
3. the capacity to leverage what I already do
(blogging, building and updating Squidoo lenses
and article marketing).

I think this last point was the real selling point for
me. One hour of time invested in setting the
system up paid immediate dividends with the
first wave of new Twitter followers...and this
recruiting will be ongoing without any
intervention on my part.

What I like is the ability to focus (and re-focus)
my follower recruitment.

I've had to change my original stance of limiting
the number of people I follow. However, this
has given me a richer store of tweets to view.
(I also discovered belatedly that I can view earlier
tweets by just pressing "more" - so I can access
the posts of my favorite people).

The Twitter Traffic Machine is certainly a way to build
your profile and Twitter following on auto-pilot.

You can check out the Twitter recruiting program here:
Twitter Traffic Machine

P.S. Twitter Traffic Machine has a great affiliate program
that is viral in nature and pays 50%.

Internet Marketing Success

One of the things I have talked about recently is the way you can build your Internet business.

It's very much a building process.

You develop one Squidoo lens then another and eventually you can build a lens ring.




You start writing articles and gradually turn them
into a free e-book that enables you to promote your
site or your affiliate products.

"Internet Marketing Success" is a case in point.

Here, I've taken a number of my articles on Internet
marketing and built them into a free e-Book around the
theme of success factors for online marketing.

Squidoo lens: Who are YOU?

When someone visits your Squidoo lens, blog
or website, they are unconsciously asking themselves
a number of questions about you:

• who are you?
• what have you got to offer?
• where is the evidence of your capacity to provide advice?
• what value can you add to what I am doing?

Elsewhere I have written about the value of building
your Internet profile:
6 Great Reasons To Build Your Internet Profile

More recently I discussed why you should create
an authority site:
7 Top Reasons Why You Should Build an Authority Site

Squidoo provides you with the opportunity to make
a statement about who you are. This comes in the form
of the specialized Squidoo lens, SquidWho:
http://www.squidoo.com/squidwho/hq

You can use this Squidoo lens for a number of purposes
including creating a profile of your favorite person or band.

However, Squidoo encourages you to create a
SquidWho lens about yourself.

My SquidWho lens can be found here:
http://www.squidoo.com/ron-passfield

Seth Godin suggests in his e-Book,
The Joy of Squidoo, that my autobiographical
lens is a good exemplar.

What you can see from my SquidWho lens is that I
readily share who I am, what my passions and interests
are, why I have created particular Squidoo lenses and
what my background is.

For example, it can be seen that my online learning
and mobile learning lenses are based on 5 years
experience facilitating the implementation of
online learning nationally within the vocation and
education sector in Australia.

SquidWho lenses are great fun to develop - Squidoo
automatically creates some of the content for
different modules by searching the Internet for info
about you - blog posts, articles, forum comments, etc.

You very quickly learn what your Internet footprint
is - that is, how much other people are exposed to you
and what you do online.

So when are you going to create your SquidWho
lens and build your Internet profile?

Combine classified ad syndication with Google Insights for Search

In a previous post I gave an update on the
Google Insights for Search Tool.

This tool enables you to conduct fine-grained
market research for any keyword.

The beauty of Google Insights for Search is the
capacity to identify trends by country or by
region/city within a country.

It also provides data re "top searches" and "rising
searches" down to the city level.

Thus it is a great tool for local internet marketing.

Google Insights for Search does not provide absolute
numbers in terms of search results, but provides
a weighted number as an indication of the strength
of the trend. Trend data from this tool can be
supplemented with the search volume details provided
by the Google Adwords Keyword Tool.

However, the real power of Google Insight for Search
is its ability to enable local internet marketing
via free classified ad sites.

Jinger Jarret has a great free member site with
a free report, audios and 48 hour marketing plan
to help you use free classified ads effectively.

You can check out her free marketing resources here:
Killer Marketing Arsenal

Jinger goes further and provides a
premium membership ($10/month) with
these great benefits:

1. 52 Week Internet Marketing Ecourse

You will start with the simplest techniques, like free
classifieds, and work your way into the more complicated
techniques like search engine optimization.

2. Classified Ads Syndication

Submit unlimited classified ads to the classified ads sites.
Jinger submits your ads to over 200 classified ad sites
including Google Base, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, MySpace,
Walmart, Local.com and others. This will save you a
huge amount of time in marketing your business, and while
you will be allowed to submit unlimited ads, comparable
systems will cost you $35 - $75 a month and you may
only submit a total of 60 - 125 ads depending on the site
you use.

3. Classified Ad Ecourse

This is a complete step by step course Jinger has written
to help you learn how to market using classifieds, as
well as write classified ads. Includes access to
Terry Dean's Killer Ad Bootcamp, the best course available
for teaching you how to write ads.

If you are serious about using local online marketing,
the Google Insights for Search (GIST), in combination
with Jinger's classfied ads syndication service, will give
you great advertising power.

It will save you heaps of time and money to have your
free classified ads syndicated across 200 advertising sites.

I have taken out the premium membership and found
Jinger's classified ad site easy to work with. I am currently
using it to promote my Squidoo lenses, my e-books and
affiliate products. Jinger's classified ad report shows you
how to make the most of this facility.

For example, I used the GIST tool to isolate a trend for a
particular keyword and then used Jinger's classified ad site
to target my ad to particular cities in Nevada and Florida
that showed up on GIST as having high search volumes
for that keyword.

syndication service, visit:
