Website Maintenance and Social Media Updates
With summer here and the longer days it seems as though there has been a flurry of activity and everyone wants their websites updated all of a sudden. Great news for me of course, as it means business is booming, but I would like to get out and enjoy the summer now and then too!
I’m working on a couple of brand new websites and have a couple more in the pipeline. I’ve been working on various functional updates for Babyfeet, along with the usual daily updates for Fairiesworld and Fantasy Artists. Pantyfod Garden website has had a few minor tweaks and I’ve also been doing lots of work on my personal weblog ‘A Simple Life of Luxury‘ and have been adding social media features to Forces-of-Nature.
I’ve been playing around embedding Twitter comments into some sites and providing people with the ability to post ‘tweets’ on each article if they wish. I’ve also been adding ‘share this’ features for a whole host of social media and social bookmarking services. Much of this has been done in an experimental way to see just how much extra traffic it can generate. Some of the results are amazing and not only does it bring in extra traffic, but if done correctly can bring in quality traffic from visitors who actually want to read the content on your site. It is all about getting the word out there and putting your content in places where people can see it.
If you haven’t explored the marketing opportunities provided by social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook, then now is the time to do so. With a little bit of effort you can get your message out to a huge group of people, many of whom will be potential customers. Not only can it be useful rom a marketing perspective, but it is good fun and you will probably make some new friends in the process.
