It is the beginning of the New Year, and it is the right time to set the new goals. Just allow yourself a right to dream. And go for it. Never expect too much just dream of it, and it will come when you don’t expect it.You just have to keep in mind that rankings can’t be guaranteed because it is a long process to get it from Google, but we have an aim and we will go for it.

Well, does Google use Twitter and Facebook links as a ranking signal? Quite interesting question which has been answered by Matt Cuts. You should be thinking now whether it is true or not. The answer is that Google actually uses Facebook and Twitter links in ranking websites but that is not everything. In addition to that they also want to figure out about the reputation of the author on Facebook or Twitter. It is just like a background on that. It was a time when they never used Facebook’s and Twitter’s links as a ranking signal but Matt Cuts confirmed that they use it now so it is a good opportunity to get more from Twitter and Facebook.

However, can you get the ranking and increase your website’s Page Rank? The answer is simple enough. You can but it is not easy. The website should be visible on Google and Google should be able to crawl it. The website should not be forbidden to crawl for them. And if there is no problem with that your website will be ranked. Another thing is that if you have lots of followers you will get more reputation. It is just a small factor which is very useful, but it also depends on the quality of links. If you get more tweets and followers the quality will definitely increase. Remember, the quality of links is very important and not only the number of links. So it is the same on Twitter and Facebook. The quality is important and not only the number of tweets or followers. Google has started to use this ranking factor, and it is a matter of time, how long they are going to use it. Now all you have to do is read the post on the way to connect WordPress blog with Twitter and Facebook and follow all the instructions. If you want to watch a movie on that you can find it below.

Twitter has become so popular in a very short time. That means everyone use it. And if you are not a member yet you should become one immediately because Twitter may give you a lot. At first sight, Twitter may give you the incredible results. Traffic is the main thing you can get from Twitter. I reckon we need it and will never refuse to get more visitors to our blog but how to get more benefit from Twitter? Let’s research it in details.

If you twitted on Twitter you would notice that every link you use is tinyurled. That means we get no benefit from it. The only benefit is traffic we get. We need our link to be visible because this is the only way to show the keywords we have used in our link. To do it, you will need a plugin called Twitter Tools. What does Twitter tools do and how it can help us?

The main point is that this WordPress plugin allows you to send your blog posts to Twitter as a tweet and show a full link with all the keywords in it as well as publish your tweets on your blog. However, lets focus on the links that may appear on Twitter. To download this plugin go on Twitter tools website.

Now i will try to explain how to make this plugin working. All the steps are very easy and will not take much time. So lets do it and connect WordPress to Twitter:

1) The first thing you need to do is install the plugin. As a blogger you should know how to do that.

2) When you are finished you will need to create a Twitter application. The process is simple. To make a Twitter application go on twitter tools plug-in’s settings page. There you will see a link. Click on the link and create it.

3) When you have it you will need a Consumer key, Consumer secret, Access Token and Access Token secret. All of them you will find on Twitter application page.

Using these keys your WordPress is connected to Twitter.

4) And the last thing you need to do is configure your Twitter tools plug-in. Don’t forget to enable option to create a tweet when you publish a new post in your blog.There are more options but it’s up to you how to set them up.

That is probably all steps you have to do. I hope it will help you get more from Twitter.

Have you ever wondered if your blog or website was blacklisted? Well, before telling you more I would like to exclude two types of block list. The first one is LHSBL, and the second one is RHSBL. Actually there are more but I am going to talk about two most common block lists.

RHSBL means Right Hand Side Block List, and it is the same as DNSBL. As you can see it is DNS based block list, and it doesn’t matter how you call it. You can name it a black hole, blacklist or block list. And if your computer or network would be linked to spamming you got a negative message. LHSBL means Left Hand Side Block List.

I will not tell you what to do to be removed from any list, but you can check if your website or blog is not blacklisted. And if you are listed on any list you will be able to see why your website has been blocked. There are two types of the list. White list and black list, so you will get information on both. Just go on blacklistalert.org and use this free service. Look at my results I’ve got.

If we need to find information, we always use Google as a primary search engine. Google is our search engine number one but there are more search engines like Bing or Yahoo which people use. And when we try to find something we really need it doesn’t mean that we will find information on the first page. Very often we need to click on the second, third, fourth page to find the most relevant post to our search.
Google Assistant will improve the relevancy on Google, Bing or Yahoo by up to 40%. This Firefox add-on will help you find more relevant information on your desired subject. You will be impressed by the results.

When you click on the link Google (Or other search engine) will re-rank the whole thing trying to bring you the most relevant information. It seems it is very useful add-on which can make our search easier. Unleash the power of search with this Google Assistant add-on.
