But lately Twitter have been redesigning their homepage and if you currently visit it you will come to see that it looks a lot like a search engine. Is this the route that Twitter should really be taking? And should they really be trying to compete with Google.

Ok real time searching is all very well and good, but I really think that Twitter will not be able to compete on Google’s level until they actually begin crawling and ranking sites.

They can of course keep the chatter and talk going but what happens when people actually want to see information about a site that has buzz.

But if Twitter actually think about this carefully then they could begin to out smart the likes of Google and Microsoft. Instead of looking for ways to rank sites based on links and citations they can look at doing it all in house. Twitter is going to literally expand to the global market, so sites actually getting talked about deserve to be ranked higher.

Anyhow if this does happen you can expect that Google will be doing everything in their power to take control of Twitter and integrate the algo into their search.

This really is the case on blog marketing, even if you may not have heard it before.  I will not tell you the names of sites.  I have to protect them as they are not mine.  Here is the secret: content isn’t king, but one way links ARE!

I have taken it up. A new challenge. My client’s pages could not go to the first page of Google. I went to work to get it done.

As with any new client I take a look at what they’re already doing and I was appalled they even were able to get the rankings they currently had.  The pages were ill-written, nasty and lacked clarity. It seems that some one who does not know  English has ventured it.  Some of it even looked like it had been spun from a content spinner and not well-written human variations of each sentence but a cheap piece of crap article spinning software.

To highlight just how bad the previous SEO guy had done, he put these crappy pages up in some very competitive keyword markets somehow expecting them to rank highly.  It was clear to me with only a moments glance there was no hope of that ever happening.

Sadly, a middle schooler could duplicate his work very easily using a free article spinner from download.com and a few minutes of his or her time.

This site was such a mess, with problems ranging from the absence of a site map to faulty internal links, that I don’t even know where to begin.

So here’s what’s immediately clear from this result, if content was King there is no way in heck that those pages belonged on the first page of any search engine, not to mention Google!  So I continued my research and what did I find?

Each of these websites had tons of one way links leading to them, though they were often spam like links from untrustworthy websites.  So then I looked at their sites that couldn’t make it to the first page of Google and found the Same non-English content but NO LINKS.

In a fortnight I became a hero.You know How? I copied the links from other pages. Now my client is able to be on the first page of Google for the  sites he hired me for.

I wanted to get fast results so I could prove to them I could handle getting quality links of power so that their sites would remain showing up with first page rankings.

Needles to say, I now have been given their entire SEO duties and web 2.0 marketing department and at the same time I have found the secret to SEO, LINKS, LINKS and more LINKS!
