Social SPAM ME! twitter Social Spam Marketing!
by Ron Hickey on Nov.29, 2009, under Internet Social
How do you build a trusting relationship with potential clients by using software to auto follow and spam messaging?…..
Sure you might build a big FALSE following….but who and or how many are truly following and listening?
If your a grab and run marketer then yea auto follow is the way to go.
If your seeking new clients and build a long lasting relationship…yes maybe
you can use software….Well your the marketing experts you figure it out.
Little Hint…
I would be professionally personable and NOT send hack job auto messages….that would be a good start.

Hyperlink Detonation
by Ron Hickey on Nov.27, 2009, under Internet Advertising
I wrote this almost a year ago. I had signed up at blogspot.com to check out the features and wrote Hyperlink Detonation http://ronhickey.blogspot.com/
The Internets Most Powerful Words
About 8 years ago I was browsing the late Corey Rudl’s website reading through his very long ad copy, in the middle of a sentence there was hyperlinked words giving reference to another webpage, this hyperlink was not just underlined words it alsocontained the words click here.
Most webmasters/bloggers will only link words figuring the readers will see the words are underlined and they will click to navigate.
Words of Action/Command,
I LOVE words that make my Potential Prospects BANG on my Hyperlink like people banging on the door of a local bank on FREE Money Day……..that’s if there were such a thing…….is there?
I make money online through affiliate links “Promoting other peoples/companies Stuff”
I found the most productive way to this is to create my own ad copy and not use most of the affiliate promotional tools.
I use to browse the affiliate websites looking for a angle or something that sells me, then I used it in part of my ad copy.
When I seen that Corey linked his words with click here a light went on!! how clever, ok…. not uncommon many people use these words for navigation, however these words are also words of Action/Command. I started rewriting my hyperlinked action lines and added click here
at the end.
Take Advantage Now! click here
Don’t Miss Out!….YOU Must Act Now! click here
Join Right Now! Absolutely FREE! click here
YOUR Only a Mouse Click Away…click here
Sound Silly?…maybe…however, by adding these two words at the end of my action lines it increased my clickthru ratio by 20%.

Games, over 100 million unique players for 1 app maker.
by Ron Hickey on Nov.25, 2009, under Games
Playing games online is very addictive. I started playing mafia wars at facebook back in the spring of this year. Mafia wars is one of the more popular games at facebook. I got so involved with playing and recruiting people to join. I lost all track of every thing else. I did finally come to my senses and eased off playing. I still play maybe once a week and not 2 to 3 hours a day when I started. Mafia wars is built and maintained by Zynga.
Recent news from Zynga 11/23/09.
Zynga announced that more than 100 million unique users play its games every month, making it the largest online game destination. The company has 200 million monthly active users across all games, with one million users purchasing virtual goods per month. http://zblog.zynga.com/?p=1198
Facebook, Myspace and other social sites make it possible for Zynga and other well known app makers hit the internet jackpot.
Other games by Zynga.
Black Jack, Path words, Scramble, Special forces, Street racing, Vampirewars, Poker, Yoville, Cafe World, Dragonwars, Farmville, Fasion wars and Fishville.
Some games you can only play at certain social sites. You can find Zynga games at Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, Friendster, MyYahoo and you can download to Iphone.
Thank you for reading,
Ron
Social marketing with twitter auto follow software
by Ron Hickey on Nov.24, 2009, under Internet Marketing
Twitter auto follow bots.
More and more companies are useing twitter auto follow.
I personally do not use them for my own reasons.
I do get followers from small internet marketers to large companies at my clickngonuts twitter account. However my Daily_Net twitter account I only have about 9….follow me and I will follow back Daily_Net .
I checked around and tweet adder software is my
best value twitter auto follower software pick.
You can auto follow up to 1000 targeted tweeters per day.
Get up to 500 new twitter followers per day per profile .
Communicate with your followers automatically pre set messages to tweet…etc..
tweet adder would be my pick over others.
