I realize I am a little later than usual with this week’s Sunday Smash article, you can thank too many hours and beers at Ozona Blue last night for that. On a side note, at least I was able to get my grilled Sea Bass fix, it’s been about a month since I’ve had it and it was gettin rough.
It seems like the more of these articles I do the more I look forward to actually doing them, it always helps that they are well received by all of you. I can’t thank all of you enough for the retweets on Twitter, and your comments here on the blog.
I try to get as many of the good people that Retweet my messages listed on my Sunday Smash as possible, I realize I can’t possibly thank everyone in this blog post each week but I do try to list a few of you that are nice enough to retweet my messages and recommend me on #FollowFriday. Enough of my babbling I will get down to it, I hope you find this week’s Sunday Smash as useful as you found my Sunday Smash: Good Tweeps, #FollowFriday, Twitter Toys article from last week.
ReTweet.it Review
One of the most powerful things about Twitter is the ability to spread your information about a product, business, service or daily banter very quickly. Your Twitter friends that use Twitter tools like Seesmic, Tweet Deck, or Uber Twitter Review can than retweet your message to their Twitter followers which of course increases the exposure to your article.
ReTweet.it is a service hat allows you to earn credits each time you retweet someone else’s tweet, you can than use those credits towards having others retweet one of your Tweets. Retweet it is extremely quick to start using and it is a free service, you can also purchase credits if you don’t feel like retweeting others for whatever reason.
I like the concept of the Retweet.it service, as I have tested it on a few articles over the past month I have seen an increase in the people that Retweet as well as the overall traffic from the retweet power. I recently used Retweet.it to spread my Twitter Safety Tips article as well as my Uber Twitter review, the traffic to those articles increased quickly.
Keep in mind I don’t get paid by any of the companies or products I review, as you might have noticed I don’t advertise on my blog so it’s more of a hobby and to offer my view for others to consider. Give Retweet.it a shot and let me know what you think of it.
Blog Milestones
Le’s pause for some pathetic self promotion real quick, thank you everyone for contributing I appreciate your comments and messages.
5000 Twitter Followers
Back on May 4th I wrote a post to celebrate and thank my Twitter followers for helping me reach 500 Twitter followers. During the course of he last month or so I have included information and links to the Twitter Tools that I use to help me grow my Twitter followers, hopefully you find some of the tools I have written about useful in increasing your Twitter followers.
Here are a few of he tools that I find most useful in growing my Twitter network of followers, keep in mind you will only get out of Twitter and your Twitter friendships exactly what you put into it, have good Twitter manors, be a good Tweep.
Tools for Increasing Quality of Twitter Followers
- Twollo allows you to Auto Follow people based on keywords that you choose to target.
- I am constantly looking to grow and network with Local Twitter users.
2000 Comments
I actually wrote about reaching the 2000 Comments milestone on May 28th, but figured I would toss it in here again anyway.
30,000 Visitors
I really never payed much attention to how many visitors I had on a monthly, daily or weekly basis this of course was true until Lace installed Stat Press on the blog now I check it every couple of days. Extreme John.com had over 30,000 visitors last month, to be honest I can’t believe that many of you read this crap but I definitely appreciate it. My Eminem Relapse leak article contributed grealy with over 7,000 visits.
Twitter Follow Frenzy
If you are an avid Twitter user than you are well aware of Hash Tags and what they are used for on Twitter, and if your a Twitter addict than your fully aware of the follow frenzy that goes on during #FollowFriday. For those of you that want to know what #FollowFriday is check out this Sunday Smash article. Over the last few weeks there have been a few new follow frenzy concepts added o the mix that I wanted to mention here, as well as the one that I made up of course. I will explain that below.
#TagalongTuesday
I was introduced to Tagalong Tuesday, well… on Tuesday when @northernsweetie was nice enough to mention me in her #TagalongTuesday recommendations. I really didn’t have a chance to spread he #TagalongTuesday love this week but I plan on giving plenty out this coming Tuesday.
#SaturdaySlug
O.k this is the one I made up on Saturday when I realized I never had a chance to get online on Friday and handle my #FollowFriday shout outs. I urge the rest of you to use hat Hash tag on a Saturday when you miss your #ff love on Friday, it let’s your Twitter friends know you didn’t forget them and it gets your recommendations out there.
Here were some of my #SaturdaySlug recommendations
@kzredhead @StephanieSteele @iskinkristian @LeftySwag @ronreddog @hotstuffjohn @dtagurit @EzyBlogger @emanrf00 @northernsweetie @MMAPunk @steaknightmag
#FollowFriday
Ahh here’s the part where I list some of the people I interacted with on Twitter during the course of the week and of course thank a few people for their #ff recommendations. Like I said earlier I wish I could thank and list everyone, but that’s not gonna happen.
