I have been playing around with creating a Facebook Fan Page. I was going through a cycle of creating and working on my Fan Page, then not liking what I was doing and deleting the Fan Page. I did this about three times.

But now I am ready to release my Facebook Fan Page to the world!

It is still a work-in-progress so I need your help.

I would appreciate your feedback on my new Fan Page.

Your feedback is important to me so please do not hold anything back.  If you like it then all I ask is you click on the button on my new Facebook Fan Page.

Thanks so much, I appreciate the feedback!

Until next time,

I Tweet, You Tweet, We All Tweet For…Never mind Twitter just makes me want to SCREAM!!!

I have had it with Twitter…I have had it with the way I am using Twitter.

Lately, I have been ready quite a few blogs and comments about Twitter and I find you either hate Twitter or you love Twitter.

To be honest with you I am starting to think that I am wasting my time on Twitter. I know that there are people that are using Twitter effectively. By effectively I mean they are able to drive targeted traffic back to their site and make money from that traffic.

In the month of December I got 7 visitors from Twitter.

So what am I doing wrong?

I have automated some Tweets.  I do some auto-tweeting using TwitterFeed.com.I auto-tweet new blog posts.  I auto-tweet older blog posts.  I also auto-follow people that follow me.

So I ask you, my readers, am I doing this wrong.  Does the auto-tweeting hurt me more than help me?

How do you get targeted traffic?

What advice do you have to get targeted traffic from Twitter?

Have you noticed the newest feature on Twitter?

It’s called the  ”Suggestions for You” feature.

When I was on Twitter this past Saturday I noticed something new when I followed another Twitter user.  After I followed someone  I noticed that below the Follow button a list of 3 suggested Twitter users displayed along with the message “Since you just followed [user name], you might also want to follow:”.

After some research I found that the new “Suggestions for You” feature is based on algorithms built by Twitters user relevance team. The suggestions are based on several factors, with the most notable factor being the people you follow and the people they follow.  You can also hide this feature if you wish not to use it.

Basically, suggestions are made of people for you to follow based on your own interest in the people you currently follow and the people they follow.

Twitter has also placed a “More Like” suggestion widget in the right sidebar of your Twitter page.  This feature can also been seen on other profiles on Twitter.  These recommendations are based on the tweets of the person who’s profile you may be viewing.

The competition has been laid down and now it’s game on.  The competition is going to be tough and I need your help.

See, I joined the Alex Jeffreys 3.0 Coaching program about a month ago.  Starting today there is a competition among the 500 students.

What is the competition?

It is a Traffic Generation competition.  The competition is for current Alex Jeffreys coaching students and the objective of the competition is to see who can drive the most traffic to their blog in the next four weeks.

When is the deadline?

The competition ends June 7th.

What are the rules?

1. You must show proof of your traffic stats using google analytics.

2. You must write blog posts on how you are driving traffic to your blog.

What is the prize for the winner?

First of all, it is winner take all.  There will be one prize given and they are:

1. A total revamp of blog
2. A unique website with product

How is the traffic measured?
