First, I want to make clear that I’m not a fan of 100% automated personal Twitter accounts. Not only are they considered spam by many, but those who automate all the time are missing out on one major part of social media — the conversations.
For the real estate agents that use www.ActiveRain.com it is sad how this website takes advantage of realtors. They use to be free and let you blog, but now if you blog on their website you have to upgrade your account to make it visible to search engines. How ridiculous. Basically they can't block the URL but they can only show it to members only. It is stupid and if you don't want to be scammed like that and want a nice blog setup on your own that has the URL's just likey the post, but on your own blog contact us we only charge 9.95/mo
The “scent of information” is an important concept for anyone who wants to optimize their online conversion rate. It’s important enough that we’ve been writing about scent on this blog since at least 2006! We recognize, however, that optimizing for scent isn’t easy to do. It involves web analytics data, psychology, copywriting, and web design at a bare minimum.
Social media doesn’t scale. That’s right, social media doesn’t scale. Consumers will only increase their adoption of social technologies, most social networking data shows this is going ‘up and to the right’. You can never hire enough community managers to manage your millions of customers that are now using social channels to communicate. You must have a strategy to scale.

The importance of keyword density varies from one search engine optimization professional to another. The term is difficult to measure. Overall, it is a great way to determine the number of times that keywords appear on the page, versus the amount of words on an actual web page.
A web site should always be designed for the customer (first) and then for search engines. A company should never create a site simply to rank number one in search results. Keeping the client in mind means that the web site needs to be user-friendly – none of them should have to know much about anything in order to navigate your site.
