Twitter is good for getting local traffic

1/25/2011

8 Comments

 
I occasionally tweet about Perth, and these tweets get retweeted comparatively often. They also get included every now and then in Twitter "newspapers" like this one.

There are clearly a lot of people on Twitter interested in information related to their location. And not just at the city level; they tweet and retweet about their suburbs, too. Take this feed, which is devoted primarily to things happening in (or at least related to) Wanneroo.

This is a goldmine for any business person keen to service a particular geographical area. You can get your products and services well known through Twitter for free. As well as the direct geo-targeted traffic it can attract, remember that lots of tweeps are also bloggers and webmasters, so you're bound to get a few local backlinks as well.

The key is to just to keep cranking out geo-specific tweets, and be sure to use the hash tags with the locations you cite.

New article directory with categories for Australian states

1/23/2011

I've just done another search for Aussie article directories and found some more. One of them was intriguing in that it had categories for each Australian state. This is unusual. I certainly haven't seen any local (or international) article directories categorized in this way.

This particular directory is very new, with hardly any content. However it is hosted within Australia and is already ranking pretty well. So I suspect it will grow into a good local directory. And I think that it might particularly good for webmasters and business owners who are keen to get traffic in a particular state or city, rather than the whole country. The reason, of course, is that state by state categorization.

Improve your SEO by adding intel to Qondio

1/13/2011

I joined the site Qondio some time ago. And I've only recently looked into what it's all about. The more I learn about it the more I like the concept and think it's worth putting quite a bit of effort into.

Qondio has similarities with some big information gathering, user generated sites like Wikipedia. However it rewards contributors by giving them backlinks. Also, you can put your own ad code in there and get all the revenue. That is unique as far as I know and a good incentive to add lots of information.

The one thing you really notice when submitting content (or "intel") is that they are super careful to make sure that everything up there is unique. If you try and sneak in some duplicate content, you're out! They also have zero tolerance for members spamming other members.

With these restrictions in place, they will build up a really good repository of knowledge, much of it local. This is from their About page:

What we value most is local intelligence about the people, companies, and places around you. Things that you - and others in your neighborhood - know and a lot about, but most other people don't. Stuff that's obvious to you and easy to write, but unknown to the web. The people and places you write about do not have to be famous, and the intelligence you share does not have to be earth-shattering.

The site alread has a PR of 6, so a backlink from there is likely to be quite powerful already. Also, they have sections for each country. So Aussies, if you have some good, locally oriented intel up there, it's bound to help lift your site's rankings quite a bit!

    If you came here just to get a backlink with a meaningless spammy comment it will be deleted. Don't waste your (and my) time.
