Up until recently, article marketing used to mean writing a 'how to' article (preferably a keyword laden one) and pasting it into as many article directories as you can (like Articles Base, Article Directory and Article Dashboard).
Having your article duplicated on a multitude of top ranking sites meant that people had a better chance of finding out [...]
Want to improve your SEO? The general response is: "First, write lots of fabulous articles and post them on your website on a regular basis."

It's the kind of smile that is given with eyes, cheeks and earlobes – without any effort at all, it seems.
Bev's natural warmth [...]
Kylie Welsh uses social marketing tools better than anyone I know…except maybe Seth Godin (with that said, Kylie seems more enthusiastic about Twitter than Seth).
Kylie is founder and director of Brisbane Woman – an organisation that is dedicated to promoting, educating and connecting women in business. She's usually co-ordinating a busy schedule of networking/workshop nights [...]
Do you have a social media speed bump? I confess I do. And it's a big 'un.
In the beginning I enthusiastically set up two Facebook fan pages, two Twitter profiles and a LinkedIn profile. Do I have the urge to get up at the crack 'o dawn to milk these cows? Nope, not often.
Note: the [...]
If you are my 69 year old retired mother, I'd have to say that Twitter is not vital.
If you are a corner grocer in an outer suburb, it's possible that putting the majority of your promotional energy into Twitter might not be the most productive step.
Just in case you are unsure about what [...]
Are you pleasantly intrigued by all this Twitter squawking? Or are begrudgingly forcing yourself into it because you want more online presence? Either way, it’s best to get your foundation right so you can soar on this blue-hued site.
What is the first step to setting up your Twitter profile? Choosing your Twitter name. And this [...]
