“Think Like Your Fans”
There is a reason this individual chose to connect with you or your company. In this day of massive Facebook and Twitter overload, many of us find ourselves bombarded by updates, reminders, posts and garbage. Of course we are always making sure not to overload our fans but it often becomes about your posting quota for the day, rather than the quality of the content posted. When posting I find the key question to ask yourself is,”If I were following us, would I be interested in this, or annoyed?” By taking the moment to ask yourself this question, you’re taking the time to consider how you are presenting and informing fans about your business. There is no need to post because you need to post content. Post pertinent content that your fans will “like” not material they’ll hate you for! If you take just a moment to “think like your fans,” you’ll be surprised how many more impressions and feedback you will receive! This simple suggestion will lead you on the path to relationship building with your supporters in the social media world.

One way to get a good SEO result would be to think of a keyword phrase (such as AC Motor Repair). Create an HTML page featuring that phrase, along with optimized images of, in this case, electric motors being repaired on your site. Also, make sure you emphasize the phrase either using the or .
Using that as your base, write an article about the keyword phrase linking directly to the HTML page. Create a blog post with great content showing features, advantages, and benefits of the keyword phrase – again linking to that HTML page.
Using that same article, submit it to an article engine, still again linking to the HTML page.
It may take a while, but SEO results should show an improvement within a month. Biggest tip: be patient!
My tip: after doing keyword research, don’t just write a blog post using the in-demand keywords you find. Take a phrase and stick it into a saved Twitter search for a week or so. Doing this will give you an idea for the buzz around a keyword phrase so you know not only what topic to focus on, but the angle people are interested in as well. Combining the quantitative keyword research with the qualitative Twitter buzz makes for a killer article.
