If you are involved in SEO, Social Media Marketing or any form of Internet (or traditional) Marketing whatsoever, you are probably always trying to calculate the Return on Investment for your efforts and expenses. In fact there are many sources out there like Computer World, Blog Tyrant, and Hubspot (just to name a few) that have attempted to do just that for Social Media and for the most part, they do a great job. This article however is simply going to talk about Twitter and what we have seen before, during and after 10,000 Tweets. Is it an actual ROI…you decide!
So how did we do that? 10,000 Tweets. Well it certainly did not happen overnight and it certainly was not consistent. We had good months on Twitter and bad months on Twitter. Just like anything else. Here is a small sampling of how we tweeted over the past 18 months:
So what kind of ROI (Return on Investment) have we had on our Twitter account? Great question. Here just a few stats:
- 46.63% of all Tweets were RT’s or @ Replies – Not as good as we would have liked…but hey, we’re still learning!
- 30 confirmed sales leads came in from Twitter – I don’t care who you…that’s GOOD !
- At least 5 new business relationships that have benefited click-finders have been developed, nurtured and cultivated 100% on Twitter. – Again, I don’t care who you are…that’s GOOD !
- Our home page has been RT’d over 7K times! – Gotta love the exposure on this stat!
- One of our blog posts has been RT’d over 100K times! – Still wonderfully surprised and astounded by this stat! It was a guest post by our good friend and colleague Mr. Scott Kindred of Safehouseweb. See how #3 above works?
What else has Twitter done for us?
Added real value and measureable attributes to our Social Media presence and marketing strategy. Everyone knows by now (or least they should) that ALL of the major search engines are using social media signals (likes, +’s and yes…TWEETS) as ranking factors. If you are not active on Facebook, Twitter and Google+, you are most likely losing ground in the SERP’s. The Hubspot chart below shows a marketing score of 90 for our website, and look at what one of the ranking factors are…that’s right, our Twitter presence!
Twitter has also helped build our visibility in ways we NEVER thought were possible!
This mention on the Home Page of Socialstage is not only very much unexpected, it’s greatly appreciated. It’s one of the little hidden benefits of Twitter and other Social Media outlets. They did this mention without me even knowing about it, yet it was out of appreciation for my tweet regarding there Blog post. Hey, it was great content and we love to share great content!
A final word about this accomplishment, blog post and Twitter overall. We don’t do Twitter as well as could. We are still learning. The point of this post is show the average small business owner that anyone can positively impact their business with Twitter. It just takes a little elbow grease, a little ingenuity and creative thinking and you can make a difference to your business as well.

"I eat SPAM for breakfast"
March 2012 – Google rolls out the latest algorithm update, Panda 3.4. The number 3.4 is still in question as Google has only announced it as a Panda “refresh”. According to Google, only about 1.6% of search results were significantly affected, still that’s a lot of sites. Google also sent the update announcement via Twitter this time with a link to Blogger instead of just using their traditional media stream Blogger only. Not sure why they chose this route to deliver the news, but it still got the word out pretty effectively. You can read the entire Google update post here. The curious thing is how dramatic the affects have been in this update for some sites. Although they claim only about 1.6% we suspect it is actually much higher. Our testing and current results are showing a significant hit with any site that is not actively publishing fresh content via a blog on a regular and frequent basis and sites that are “over SEO’d”. What defines “over SEO’d”? Any site that has an unbalanced link profile with a heavy load of links only to the Home Page. Sites that are publishing a blog with fresh content rolling out regularly have seen a boost in rankings or have not been affected at all. Of course by publishing a blog the site generates fresh content and a naturally diversified backlink profile and that is what Google is looking for as far as we can tell.
Panda Refresh Announcement
SO WHAT’S CHANGED?
Well if you took the time to click over to the official blog post, you can see that they are pretty vague in the specifics of the update. However, we have seen some significant indicators and several other well-known and established SEO news sites (Search Engine Journal, Search Engine Land and Search Engine News)are reporting the same indicators in their “Panda Refresh reviews”. Here’s what we are seeing:
- Diversified backlink profiles are winning – Having links from High PR sites as well as PR0 sites are more important than ever
- Diversified anchor text is winning – Varying your anchor text and not locking onto one keyword
- Having a mix of No-Follow and Do-Follow links is winning
- Solid Blog Commenting – Commenting on relevant blogs and linking back to your own. Linking out to other blogs and relevant resources from your own blog is winning
- Content Generation and Promotion – Having a blog that is active in your niche community. Sharing good content and attracting readers and commenters is winning
- Social Media – Tying it all together with Social Media promotion, interaction and engagement with your fans is definitely winning
- Diversified Link Profile – Making sure that the in-bound links to your site don’t just land on your Home Page, but link to relative content (landing pages, blog articles, etc.) and are as evenly distributed as possible is winning!
We’ve all been waiting for it, the day when 50 quality, industry related links outranks 10,000 spammy, forum profile links. That day is here. If you are already doing the above listed items on your website, then you most likely have already seen the benefit of your work, if not, chances are you have seen your rankings drop and in some cases significantly. Don’t panic, re-read this post and go to work. In no time at all you can be right back where you were or even higher in the rankings.
