Twitter can be a very powerful Social Media Optimization tool. But if we use it unwisely, it could drive followers away. Most people enjoy Twitter because they get quick update from many people they follow, not extremely frequent update from just one people.

Why bad website exist? Because without bad website, there won’t be any good website exists. Imagine all websites are good. They wouldn’t be called good website anymore. They’re just website.

We play our SEO on the Google field so it’s important for us to follow their game. We all know that Google doesn’t just pick random page for their top list. They have some ranking system that separates which site should go on top and which one stays on backyard.
