RT For the week: 06/17 to 06/23, if you post a RT, You need to RT at least once, if you need a Triberr invite, let us know

ESSENTIAL INFO

tweets can not be longer than 140 characters + spaces .. including RT @yourtwittername & shortened URL you are tweeting

Twitter is becoming more vigilant about how peope are tweeting.-- I have seen more people booted off recently-- meaning please carefully contruct your tweets so you aren't spamming people You need to RT something from someone else.. at least 1-2 things.. If you post one thing-- then RT one thing. If you use this list regularly, try varying up what you RT.-- and if everyone RTs your post.. you kind of have to deal with the karma of it all. meaning.. please find something of everyone's to RT because if you don't, they won't continue to RT you.

. .. if you don't RT on a fairly even basis (like you post 8 RTs and you only RT one back.. that's not even.. however if you post 6 and RT 3, that's more even. get it?)

Other Notes 1) Post to the WEEKLY threads please. If you start a post outside those threads-- it will be copied over and your singular post will be deleted. Read the rules and play according to the rules--- and you will find your stuff retweeted

2)Relevancy to your audience has become a topic here.

if you are tweeting only things skewed to small children.. and some stuff that I post (and others) might not be completely releveant to you-- there is a LIST that's been created JUST for mom/kid stuff.

Add this @lastory/mommy-bloggers to your post if you are doing a child/parent/mommy skewed post.-- it reaches at about 100 mommy-bloggers whose following are pretty substantial.

Have another topic you want to target? We can make up another list. But if want a topic to be added, that's easy. You can create it yourself for your own blog too.

4) want to increase your followers?

Think about what else you could post about-- beyond just kids.. (cooking, fashion, health, fitness, travel, books, tv shows )

You don't have to write all the content-- but you could RT someone else's blog post (either from this group or someone that is part of your twitter following & include them in the @theirtwittername -- but that blogger will love it.. and her following will start following you if you do it consistently. you will be building a bigger broader following and will be doing smart social media tactics

5) if you have a limited time RT please indicate that it has a deadline.

Please include a DO NOT POST AFTER XX/XX date.. PLEASE note if you have a time limit. if you are RT-ing.. see if there's a time limit. Tweeps get ticked off seeing something RT'd that's clearly past the deadline.. and Twitter is getting iffy about it too.

6) Please do not post the same tweets every week. Either change up your tweet title or alternate weeks that you list them. it's spamming to post the same exact tweet every single week -- except if it's a contest .. (and even that can be changed) Twitter has been booting people who post the same thing all the time.

7) Use URL shorteners (hootsuite.com, socialoomph.com, twaitter.com) -- and don't forget the bonus of advance schedule posting across the week. that makes it easier for you to tweet everyone and then everyone will tweet you

8) Please do NOT Post about politically charged topics. I don't have to explain why do I

9).. a thought. while we don't know each other as friends.. in this group.. there is something to be said about following the people in this group.. everyone following each other simply because of the expanded reach of the connected networks.. you would have access to my network of people.. I would have access to yours. If you choose not to follow people.. that's ok.. but do realize that if you aren't following someone-- that you still should be RTing their posts.. and most especially if they are RTing yours.

Olfa.. read your SEO post.. I am going to grab it for the week that includes 7/4.. (our holiday)- I will pull out relevant things and create jump- page (hyperlinks back to your site) for you from within my post.

one ? for you. this is not clear- the bolded part. are you talking about people getting PAID for posting links on a blog.. that are relevant.. but not just other blogs and sites you like..

because you don't have to disclose anything if you aren't getting paid or compensated in some way. I did that for one company-- because they sell a product I featured in a blog post. I didn't get paid.. but I thought it was smart to create a variety of links to buy the product (hyperlinking different mentions of the product to different online sites to purchase) -- so I did it.. but I was not compensated for a single link. I do this all the time-- I randomly choose someone to hyperlink to-- sephora, nordstrom, beauty.com, drugstore.com, dermstore,com , beautycollection.com, beautyhabit.com beautycafe.com.. as you can see there are a lot of places and that's just a dribble of what I could link.. but this site that asked for the link sold the product and I didn't see any problem with linking to his specific page randomly..sans $$ or anything else.

think of it as a gift.. but you might want to specify that someone has paid or compensated you for a link if they have.

:-)

GREAT article.. and fyi peeps. G+ needs to be done. i have to share this with my VC client.

Now on the other side of the link building: : I know that many bloggers get a lot of requests from companies to add their link to their blogs. I think as long as the links are relevant to your readers, that you disclose the relationship and use proper Google TOS (Do-Follow vs No-Follow) it is ok. I am not an expert though. Please make sure to read the TOS carefully!

No you don't have to use a hashtag unless you have the space . also you need to shorten your urls.. try hootsuite or whatever platform you like . tammy jones has azul social.. that's worth checking out

Also if you are interested in being rt'd within triberr. you need to join. Olfa's tribe is mommy-blogger oriented.. mine is the social media kitchen sink affair.

Hit one of us up.. and JOIN and then see your retweets go UP! you do have to rt others but it's less work than this site.

@Stevie: you are very generous. If a company asks me to add a link about their product: I ask for payment. They are borrowing my readership and social media reach. I no-follow the link as per Google Tos. I disclose it as a payment because of FTC requirement.

If I like a company and just blog about it like you do, I don't no-follow (unless it is an affiliate). I just say in the end: I am blogging about it because bla bla.. But not necessary.

Google requirement: if it is a paid link, or an affiliate or you received even a product to review in exchange of a link back to their site: NO-FOLLOW the link.

Usually these companies seek DO-FOLLOW because they want to have your link juice (From your PR) and higher search results. Google does not want companies to buy links. They want others to link naturally to them.

Now if a casino company asks me to link to them, I will refuse. It is not relative to my content. Got it? links must be relevant to your content. You cannot link to baby products when you blog about SEO only.

Disclose relationship: usually it is FTC requirement in the US. If you are paid you need to disclose it. It is not a requirement in Canada but I do it as I find it is fair for the companies and readers. Judgement!

hope I am not confusing you..let me know if you have any other questions
