			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With feed aggregation and social networking sites it&#8217;s becoming easier and easier to get completely automated backlinks to your website.  Of course although this method is completely automated, it does require a bit of busy work to setup in the beginning.  The good thing is, once you&#8217;ve signed up to a few websites (the more the merrier) the more backlinks will be created for your blog (or any website you have that has a feed).</p>
<p>If you are familiar with wordpress widgets like <em>WP to Twitter</em>, then you&#8217;ll know how this method works.  The difference is, you will be using one website to manage <em>up to</em> hundreds of microblogging sites that are <em>Dofollow</em>.  That means that you get a backlink on every one of the social networking sites you sign up for, every single time you update your blog!<a href="http://blogdub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/identica_1320x1000_rgb.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-97" title="identica" src="http://blogdub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/identica_1320x1000_rgb.gif" alt="" width="400" height="303" /></a></p>
<p>If you know anything about identi.ca, which I wrote a post on about a week ago.  You&#8217;ll know that it is dofollow and it&#8217;s a great tool for getting backlinks to your website.  Identi.ca runs on a software called &#8216;Status.net&#8217; and there are several other sites that run on the same software.  So anyways, now I&#8217;ll get to the part where I explain exactly how you can get backlinks from each of these websites automatically.</p>
<ol>
<li>Here is a <a href="http://status.net/wiki/ListOfServers" target="_blank">large list of microblogs</a> running on the status.net software.  Scroll through the list and sign up for as many of the sites as you&#8217;d like, like I said earlier the more the merrier.  Each site you signup for will can&#8217;t as a new backlink from a different site, they are mostly all run by different people with different IPs.</li>
<li>Now signup for twitterfeed.com:  Add your blog feed, and then add in all of the accounts you made on the various microblogging websites.  When choosing from &#8216;available services&#8217; pick <strong>laconica</strong>, that is the default name for the sites running the &#8217;status.net&#8217; software.  This makes it so that every time you write a new post on your blog twitterfeed will automatically update all of your microblogging accounts.</li>
<li>And honestly it&#8217;s as simple as that, you can create as many accounts as you please&#8230; or you could stick to just 1 account per site and still get a pretty large amount of backlinks.</li>
</ol>
<p>Good luck linkin&#8217; up dawgs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite Twitter users becoming a little more aware of scammy affiliate ads, you can still make a decent buck pushing CPA offers on your Twitter Accounts.  The method does require a little patience and your accounts do run a high risk of being banned.  This is meant to make you a quick buck, not provide a permanent income stream.  Of course there are ways that you could work this in order to make money without being banned, but I think that&#8217;s sort of grueling and pointless.  Anyways, in this guide I will explain how to make some <em>moolah</em> promoting CPA offers on a multitude of Twitter Accounts.</p>
<ol>
<li>First thing you&#8217;re going to want to do is sign up for a good CPA network.Traditionally I&#8217;d say to use <a href="http://www.cpalead.com/apply.php?ref=9881" target="_blank">CPALead</a>, it&#8217;s a great network for CPA offers to promote on Twitter.<br />
If you want to take advantage of one of the twitter based CPA companies then you could use <a href="http://www.twittad.com/a/DtG" target="_blank">Twittad</a>.  It&#8217;s kinda weird but you make money when people sponsor your profiles with background advertisements/sponsored tweets.  I&#8217;m just learning about it now.<br />
Or you could use <a href="http://revtwt.com/index.php?id=2315" target="_blank">RevTWT</a>, one of my highest converters <img src='http://blogdub.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <a href="http://revtwt.com/index.php?id=2315"><br />
<img src="http://revtwt.com/images/TwtAd_referral01.jpg" alt="" /></a></li>
<li>Start creating twitter accounts, your going to want to make 5 per day.  I think that&#8217;s the limit per IP in a day anyways.</li>
<li>With these 5 accounts you should follow this tutorial to build up your twitter following: <a href="http://www.blogdub.com/getting-thousands-of-twitter-followers/" target="_blank">How to Get Thousands of Twitter Followers</a></li>
<li>You can create more accounts each day, but make sure you can manage them all.  There&#8217;s no point in making accounts you won&#8217;t ever use.  Perhaps you could keep a notebook or some sort of xcel spreadsheet to keep track of all your twitter accounts.</li>
<li>Using <em>Phoenix Twitter Desktop</em> which you learned about in the &#8220;How to Get Thousands of Twitter Followers&#8221; guide, you can setup some auto-tweeting for your profiles.  Create a text file to use with your profiles and around 10 different tweets to the file.  Mix in some general statements or questions like &#8220;Whatsup my twitter followers?&#8221; with other tweets with some links to the CPA offers of your choice.  Every day you can use the program to update your Twitter accounts with fresh tweets.</li>
</ol>
<p>It&#8217;s really as simple as that.  Keep building up your profile and as you build them run your advertisements.  Over time you should earn more and more money with your profiles.  When you get money hungry and overload your accounts with advertisements they will start getting banned.  If you keep all the advertising to a minimum then you could keep your accounts running a little longer.  Good luck making money with twitter and CPA</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting thousands of twitter followers is actually really easy.  It&#8217;s not as easy as it was in the past though, since twitter doesn&#8217;t allow you to mass follow thousands of people per day anymore, and there is also a maximum of 2,000 people you can follow until you have a certain number of followers to balance things out.  The point is you don&#8217;t have to do much work to get a lot of followers, you just have to spend a little bit more time.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why would you want thousands of Twitter Followers</span>?  In my opinion twitter is a great tool for making internet-buddies, you can either develop a relationship with your Twitter friends and reciprocate blog/site visits.  Or you can use your followers sort of inhumanely, forcing your advertisements and websites on them for traffic and profits.  Either way works, it just depends on your code of ethics and what kind of online presence you want to build for yourself.  Of course I would suggest being friendly <img src='http://blogdub.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The methods I will explain for following and un-following in this guide could get your account banned for unusual activity.  So be careful, but as long as you use your brain and don&#8217;t overdue the number of people you follow, or how often you un-follow people, your Twitter Account(s) should be fine.</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a Twitter Account.  In all honesty, you probably should use your main account when using these tactics.  Although you could make a new account, and eventually it could become your main account.  Just make sure you&#8217;re using a Twitter you won&#8217;t cry over if it were to get banned.</li>
<li>Do the natural Twitter stuff, start posting some messages.  Follow some people you know, maybe follow some people you don&#8217;t know.  It doesn&#8217;t matter, just make your Twitter account look legit.  Add a picture, a bio, a link to your website <img src='http://blogdub.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  Then ping your profile so other websites know Twitter is linking to your site.  (Idk if that really helps, but it&#8217;s worth a try)</li>
<li>Now your going to want to download one of the most important Twitter tools I could think of.  In fact I think it is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the</span> single most important tool when it comes to building a large following at this point.  It&#8217;s free, and it&#8217;s easy to use.  So go to Pyrogenic Media and download <a href="http://www.pyrogenicmedia.com/phoenix-twitter-desktop/" target="_blank">Phoenix Twitter Desktop</a>.  You need the microsoft.net framework in order to run the program, but I think that automatically installs on your computer if you don&#8217;t already have it.</li>
<li>Install the program, run it.  Create a new user and then save your account file.  Click on new friend adder window.  Choose which account you want to add friends on.  Then go to twitter, look at the trending topics, and tweet something related to a trending topic.  That&#8217;s what I do anyways.  Then in your &#8216;new friend adder&#8217; window, type in that trending topic as the keyword and choose to add around 200 friends.  You could also choose a power user in the same niche as you, and follow people that are following him/her.  It all depends on whether you want a certain target audience, or if you don&#8217;t mind who your following.<br />
(adding only 200 per day is really playing it safe, I think the max you should add would be around 400)</li>
<li>Now I would say to keep doing this daily, and every once in a while.  Before you follow people, you should prune out the people you&#8217;ve followed who haven&#8217;t followed you back.  To do this I use a tool called <a href="http://twitterfriendkiller.gauzza.com/" target="_blank">Twitter Friend Killer</a>.  It simply removes everyone who isn&#8217;t following you back.  I did write <a href="http://www.marketinglib.com/twitter-friend-killer/" target="_self">a post on it</a> if you want to learn a little more about the program.</li>
</ol>
<p>That&#8217;s how you get thousands of followers.  It will take some time as not everyone you follow will immediately follow you back, and it will take even more time if you&#8217;re careful with your account and you don&#8217;t go following hundreds and hundreds of people every day.  The best idea is to stay under the radar and build your following sort of slow, but sometimes taking risks is fun too.</p>
<p>Do what you want, anyways that&#8217;s my guide.  Hope it helps all you aspiring Twitter Authorities out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all, Happy Valentines Day Lovelies.  Now let me teach you how to break up with all the cold hearted Twitter&#8217;ers who didn&#8217;t follow you back this Holiday Season.</p>
<p>Twitter <em>auto-unfollow</em> tools have become extremely rare lately since Twitter has pretty much disowned all of the un-following apps on the net.  In a search for a tool that still worked for getting rid of Twitter&#8217;ers who weren&#8217;t following me back I came across the <a href="http://twitterfriendkiller.gauzza.com/" target="_blank">Twitter Friend Killer</a>.  It&#8217;s a program that you can install on your desktop and is used to auto-unfollow all of the people who aren&#8217;t following you back.</p>
<p><em>Although the program isn&#8217;t very versatile, it&#8217;s extremely simple and it gets the job done</em>.</p>
<p>Unless you are extremely careful, I wouldn&#8217;t suggest using this program on any of your <em>main</em> Twitter accounts, as that could get you banned.  Remember whenever you are following/unfollowing people on Twitter extremely fast it throws up red-flags.  I&#8217;ve had a couple of my main accounts deleted after building up thousands of followers <img src='http://blogdub.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> .  It&#8217;s a shame but, oh well&#8230; Life Goes on.</p>
<p>If you are following certain people on Twitter that you want to continue following regardless of whether or not they are following you back, I would suggest making a list of all those people.  That way when you use the auto un-follow tool, you can easily add back all of the people you lost.</p>
<p>Be prepared for a new guide on how to build up a Twitter Account to have thousands of followers in no time at all.  Twitter is a great tool for getting traffic to a website, as well as building your presence on the internet.  Honestly it&#8217;s about the 2nd-3rd largest source of all my website&#8217;s traffic!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a method that you could use on social bookmarking sites like Digg or Reddit to give your submissions a little bit of an advantage over the submissions of others.  It can easily be applied to other social bookmarking websites, and in each case it is a good way to give your websites a boost in traffic and back links.  The method is very simple in theory, but it does take some patience, and is a bit on the black hat side.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6" title="social_bookmark" src="http://www.marketinglib.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/social_bookmark_msn9.jpg" alt="social_bookmark" width="409" height="277" /></p>
<p>By creating multiple accounts and bookmarking your website a few times rather than once, it can make your submissions look more appealing to the masses, and potentially get you a lot of other bookmarks/views.</p>
<ol>
<li>First, choose a social bookmarking website you would like to try and dominate, and create <strong>5</strong> accounts on it.  It would be very wise to use a proxy when signing up so the accounts wouldn&#8217;t all be linked together and banned.  Since creating multiple accounts on a website usually isn&#8217;t allowed.</li>
<li>Next, on each account that you created bookmark, add friends, and join groups.  Preferably things related to what you will be submitting from your own website.  (This is especially relevant on digg, because your friends will be recommended articles based on how similar the things you digg are)  So add friends from the same category that you are digging and submitting to.  Hopefully I worded that in a way that makes sense.</li>
<li>Let your accounts age for about a week, but every day you should be adding more friends and bookmarking things.  You might also want to take the time to weed out the people who didn&#8217;t become mutual friends with you.</li>
<li>After about a week or two you could start submitting content from your website.  Use your most authoritative account to make the submission, and then bookmark it with your other 4 accounts.  Remember to use proxies when logging in so that the accounts aren&#8217;t linked together.</li>
<li>You could use 1 or 2 of your accounts to write comments on the submission, add to favorites, or share with others (if the website has that functionality.  Digg no longer has the <em>shout</em> feature)</li>
</ol>
<p>From there however many bookmarks you get depends on how the bookmarking site works.  I would suggest using plugins like <a href="http://www.mkyong.com/blog/digg-digg-wordpress-plugin/" target="_blank">digg-digg</a> to add links so that your blog readers could easily submit your site to social bookmarking websites.  The more readers that come to your website from social bookmarking sites, the more readers you will have to submit your content to the bookmarking site.  So over time, your presence on a social bookmarking website will get stronger and stronger.</p>
