Twitter Tree Wednesday

Hi guys! It is Wednesday again. Time for the Twitter Tree.

Bluebird - Twitter Tree©  

Here's our Team info

http://www.etsy.com/teams/7199/bluebird-twitter-tree

We are currently working to achieve a greater participation in our Twitter Tree each business day. 

ChristieCottage started this idea last year It was so effective, it immediately got copied. Even though the idea has been copied, we have decided to continue the  Twitter Tree© because HERE you can promote items from ANY of your online venues.  Plus by posting links on the blogs, this method provides effective offsite back links to boost the SEO of our stores! What a great advantage that is!

The Twitter Tree© will be hosted by a different shop each business day.



Be sure and stop by and be a part of the twitter tree each day.

Instructions:

You tweet the item(s) for me and all the posts above yours, add your twitter account so we can follow you, and list 1-3 items (clickable links) from any of your online shops that you would like for all those posting here to tweet for you. ( No "mature" items, please). Be sure the item is twitter ready. (See below) Check back throughout the day and tweet all the new items posted from other online shops. Etsy, ArtFire, Zibbet, Bonanzle, ebay, your own website, etc.. 


Please add this tag to your tweets. " #BlueBird" 
This way we can Retweet later in the day, simply by searching the tag.  Thanks!

Here are my items for today - I'm @elunajewelry


By reaching out thru blogger and blog follower's twitter accounts, we will reach a new audience of viewers and hopefully land some sales. After all, we all have our online shops to make sales.

One more quick thing. I am trying to become a teacher on Jewelrylessons.com. But in order to write my first tutorial on that site, I have to get more votes for my project. If you are a member (or do not mind signing up to help out) I would really appreciate any votes to help get this going. Here is my project: http://www.jewelrylessons.com/gallery/grecian-spiral-necklace    To vote, simply "Request Tutorial."
  
Thanks guys!!

Tweeting your store to increase your Google Rankings?

Is is possible that tweeting your store will help you be found on Google?

The answer is yes.

With the latest update of Google (the Panda update) social networking is factored into your site ranking even more than before. Social networking allows you to create back links that will drive up the "worth" of your page. Especially when more than one person sends out the link as something of interest.


But as always there are tips to making this work.

1. Your tweets need to get out there.
You can just go to twitter and throw out some comments and links. But to get the best results, you need to have a consistent flow of links to your store.  One of the best ways to do this is to join a group that specializes in tweeting its members.

2. Use keywords in your tweet that match your section/listing.
This will help to bump your listing in those keywords.

Lets say I want to advertise my medium copper hoops, I have three choices to use twitter to do this;
a: I can just throw out the link 
 (http://www.etsy.com/listing/64972980/medium-copper-hoop-earrings)

b: I can throw out a little description with the link
(Handmade Earrings on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/listing/64972980/medium-copper-hoop-earrings)

c. I can use the title (maybe a quick description if there is room) and the link.
(Medium Copper Hoop Earrings on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/listing/64972980/medium-copper-hoop-earrings) {that is 100 characters btw}

The last option is really the best option. If you have already optimized your store, the title should be repeated in the listing. So with the tweet, you now have 3 references telling Google that this page is really and truly about "Medium Copper Hoop Earrings" which will help to bring up your ranking for "Medium Copper Hoop Earrings"

Ok one final thought on getting even more back-links for your store. I mentioned earlier about joining a group where the members tweet each other.  If you would like to get even more back-links with that, I would suggest joining a team like the Bluebirds - Twitter Tree.
Unlike some of the twitter threads in Etsy, the Twitter tree posts links onto 5 different blogs. That means that there are 5 different webpages that are pointing back-links to your store. And as much as Google loves to be told you are popular, it really is worth the time to participate in an awesome opportunity like that.

Twitter Tree 06-01-2011


This wonderful idea was started by ChristieCottage and has already brought in sales and promotional opportunities to those involved.  Remember “A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds. Francis Bacon. ”  I saw that quote posted on Twitter and it seems to fit the idea, so let us create more opportunities to be seen.
The Twitter Tree will be hosted by a different shop each business day.

If you follow me on twitter - please let me know. I don't follow everyone back if I don't know who they are :)
The Twitter Tree Instructions:
You post the item(s) you tweeted for me along with your twitter account so I can follow you, and list 1-3 items (clickable links, Twitter Ready please) from any of your online shops that you would like for me to tweet for you. ( No "mature" items, please). Be sure the item is twitter ready. (Please include a description, not just the link and any #hashtags you would like to use.) 
You may list from multiple stores. However please respect other twitters and post no more than a total of three items. 

Some tweeters use applications like Tweetdeck. This application automatically shortens URLs, and has a difficult time distinguishing between hashtags and URLs when they are not properly spaced. Please place spaces between your URLs and hastags. Failure to do so may result in lower views as your tweets may get corrupted in the system.

Check back throughout the day to tweet the other items listed in the comments. To make life simpler for all those tweeting, please add the hashtag #bluebird to your links. This way it will be easier to re-tweet later in the day. Also if you add the #bluebird hashtag to your items, it will give you a random chance to be featured in the #bluebird daily twitter paper. 

By reaching out through our blog and twitter network, we hope to increase promotion for all our stores and hope to gain a new audience and possibly some sales. 
 
Hope you have a wonderful day and see you in tweetland.
