14 Apr 10 Best-Kept Secret Twitter Tips for Job Search (Part 6)
This is the last post on networking aspect of twitter job search. Here I will tell you how you can get more out of your networking effort, and how you will be in the good books of highly networked individuals on twitter, so without wasting another moment let’s get started.
Engage yourself
Increase the frequency of your tweets to remain in the eyes of fellow tweeters — out of sight, out of mind phenomenon works more here. Tweet often and tweet regularly, but do not ever cross the thin red line crossing which raises the red flag.
Spread your net
Keep on finding people to tweet to. Do not just tweet to people in your follower’s, find people to add to your list, but, do not start mass following. By doing so, you will be call in spammers who do not listen on twitters. All they know is clutter the twitter time line.
Join the conversation
Tweeting your content is good, but joining the conversation is even better. Read what others are saying, join the conversation, comment on the discussion, be part of it, spread the word, send DM (direct message), and get known. This will help you form a lasting relationship with fellow tweeters. People like you most when you talk about the stuffs they care — in this case, the stuffs they share.
Spread the news
Talking about yourself on and on may make you sound braggart, and talking about what others have to say make you sound influential. See what others are talking about and be the first to tweet about it. This will bring you on the forefront of your industry, and the leaders cannot help but look at you, and recognize you.
Get personal with @
Use @ followed by twitter’s account name to share stuffs with people you want to network with on twitter. This will get their attention. Send out only meaningful tweets using @, and do it sparingly. Overdoing will raise the barrier.
As you can see, finding a job on twitter is not like finding a job on job-search portals. It is about engagement here. You have to engage people first and then ask for a job. This may look like too much work, but it is not. And on top of it, it is highly rewarding. By engaging your prospects in talk, you have crossed half the distance, as talking to them let them know about you. If they like what they see, they will hire you.

16 Jan 10 Improving Your Google PageRank
Increasing your Google PageRank is extremely important if you want your website to appear in Google searches more often. Google’s PageRank feature is how Google will judge your website. Your PageRank is based upon how many quality websites link to yours, thereby determining your sites importance from these statistics. If you want your site to get more Google search attention, you have to have a decent PageRank.
So the best way to approach improving your PageRank, is simply by getting your website out there. Network and exchange links with as many like minded sites and businesses as possible. Try to search out sites with higher traffic volumes, and higher PageRanks, as these are the more likely to increase your individual PageRank. The more quality websites that link back to yours, the better Google will view your site. The importance of networking just can’t be overstated. That’s your internet bread and butter, and the better networked you are, the better your website is going to perform.
Remember to use SEO (search engine optimization) for everything you write, as this helps with all things regarding Google. Your PageRank is also more likely to be higher if you make effective use of SEO. It will increase search engine success, and the popularity of your site. Both of which you need to build your Google presence, and therefore your website’s overall presence.
But also remember that improving your Google PageRank isn’t as likely to increase traffic as SEO. Just because your site has a higher PageRank, does not mean that you’re the most likely to pop up first with a given keyword. The only way to make that work is SEO and linking to as many other popular websites as possible. These will also build your PageRank, and should remain your focus for building website traffic.

09 Dec 09 Improve Your Website’s Google Ranking
Getting more traffic to your website means improving your site’s Google ranking. If you don’t rank well with Google, chances are your site is going to be buried behind thousands of others that have higher rankings. The only way to get your ranking higher, is to play by the rules, and satisfy all of Google’s requirements to the best of your ability. Here are a few ways you can do just that.
One of the key factors in how Google ranks a website, is how many other websites link back to your site. That means networking. Networking is an long established tool to build website traffic. The more websites you find that are similar to yours, that are willing to exchange links, the higher your traffic is going to become. Google ranks how well you are networked, and rewards those who network effectively.
The IP addresses of websites linking back to yours also has an effect on Google’s ranking system. The more different IP’s that link to you, the better. Multiple links from the same IP aren’t really factored in, as they could be considered duplicates, or falsified links.
Keyword density is also of high importance. You want to use as many keywords as possible, without letting the quality of your content suffer. The more keywords you have that relate to common searches, the higher Google is going to rank you. As long as your content applies to what searchers type when searching, the more Google is going to be partial to ranking your site highly.
Make sure that you properly format your page titles to incorporate keywords. Google puts a huge importance on what sort of keywords are in your title. So make sure you use the important keywords that are specific to the topics you are touching upon. Don’t be too generalized, and use specific terms that relate to your website, and what readers would be searching for.
