Yes I know, a very strange blog title… yes I also know it wont hold much keyword weight… But as you will see, this blog post is slightly different than most SEO posts!!
A little while ago I wrote a blog post outlining a few “Twitter Tips” for building followers, outlining a few techniques which I have found to help increase the number of people following your Twitter account, my final point in the blog post was put in as a joke, basically I was suggesting that if you were to use a cleavage photo as your twitter avatar you would naturally build followers (mainly male followers).

So 2 weeks ago I got my Twitter account suspended for what I think was due to “over aggressive behaviour” or “automated tweeting”. You can read about my suspension here.

I have been using Google chrome since 2010 and over the years it has been by far the fastest and most reliable browser by far… Until this morning when for whatever reason it had become corrupted! Arrrrgh! I had to reinstall it, however to my horror all of my chrome extensions had also been removed.

How Did I Get My Twitter Account Suspended?

It was back in March 2011 when I was sat at an SEO conference in london listening to Distilled’s Tom Critchlow speaking about building a network when he asked the entire room how many people have their own network of specialists? He seemed genuinely shocked when nobody raised their hand in response.
One of the key points of advice I took from Tom’s presentation was to build yourself a network.
Its one of the most difficult things for people new to the web design or SEO industry to understand is the power of networking. Both on-line and off-line networking has been a fantastic source of inspiration, information and ultimately clients.
However only in this last 10 months have I come to appreciate the value of building your own network. Continue reading “Build Yourself A Network!” »
Ahh so, a new year is upon us. For those of us who attended various search marketing conferences last year, I have put together a list of UK SEO Conferences, Social Media Conferences and On-line Marketing Conferences which are happening in the UK this year (mostly London as usual).
