Something Better Than Auto-increase Twitter Follower Services

October 17th, 2009 No comments

There are so many automatic Twitter Follower Services out there now! You have to follow some guys on a downline & gather some referrals to get the downline for you. But the biggest problem with this kind of viral strategy in Twitter is that your so-called followers are not actually following you. They have followed guys like you because they just wanted to get followers for themselves & never care about opening your profile or checking your updates. In reality, your followers mean very little in terms of your business then.

The meta tag generated for the verification process used to depend on the email address of the user’s Google account. So if you change your email address, all the sites that you have verified will become unverified. But just a few days ago Google came out with a tweak on the verification process. From now on, the new meta tags generated for site verification will not depend on the email & will remain same whether you change your email address or not.

October 2nd, 2009 No comments

October has just started. Last month Google cleared their point of view on two so-called SEO factors. One is duplicate content problem & another is using keywords and description meta tags. As you might have found, this blog was down most of the time last month, thanks to the previous hosting! So I thought of updating you quickly on these two things if you have missed.
