Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-03

@rapidbi I'm actually not sure. I "think" they could mean different things, but I can't articulate the differences even to myself. in reply to rapidbi #

@rapidbi The two sets are different sorts of things. Internal/external refer to location. Not sure about intrinsic/extrinsic #motivation in reply to rapidbi #
@3keyscoach Oddly enough, I'm getting out of blogging, and moving back to permanent static web content #blogchat in reply to 3keyscoach #
@shannonevans I've had great search engine results with static pages. Not sure that blogs provide/will provide SEO advantage. #blogchat in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans I try to stay ahead of the trend. My prediction is blogs will be downgraded in search results over time. #blogchat in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans I've been at this over 10 years. Getting "revisited" is irrelevant to webrank IMO. Blogging can create SEO problems #Blogchat in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans IMO user experience is NOT enhanced via blogs, navigation, lack of front page focus, etc. #Blogchat in reply to shannonevans #
@AtlantaPR Why do you think blogs are better than static pages for building lots of new optimized pages? Do you lack skills? #blogchat in reply to AtlantaPR #
@CASUDI I build content without blogs, and I use rss feeds for my static sites. 4 peeps without the tech. skills, CMS ok. #blogchat in reply to CASUDI #
@PhxREguy Low quality content, issues with incoming link quality and outgoing. Poor visitor experience. Google pays attention #blogchat in reply to PhxREguy #

@3keyscoach Blogs generally structured as journals/diaries and nav reflects. Hard to find the evergreen content. I'm interested in QUALITY in reply to 3keyscoach #
@3keyscoach ..content, not quantity. Evergreen easily found expert content much more valuable. Many more reasons. in reply to 3keyscoach #
@AtlantaPR Lots of reasons. Blogs not structured well. Use Content Management System if you must and like your visitors #blogchat in reply to AtlantaPR #
@AtlantaPR Also, 4 business, better to learn the simple skills to update website and STAND OUT among the blogs. #blogchat in reply to AtlantaPR #
RT @shannonevans: Static pages must get updated frequently to get revisited also need a local search listing" #Blogchat NOPE. #
@3keyscoach I agree with you on timesensitive blogs, but most people use them to replace websites per se. Poor tools for enduring content in reply to 3keyscoach #
@3keyscoach Not sure what you mean by testing evergreen content continuously. Explain? (tnx for this discussion) #blogchat in reply to 3keyscoach #
@3keyscoach Business ex. where blogs better: Daily or frequent specials announcements. Although I'd rather use an email list system in reply to 3keyscoach #
@AtlantaPR I understand there are standout blogs, but most are templated, have similar awkward nav structures that interfere with finding. in reply to AtlantaPR #
@MotivatePeople Explanation: Freq page updates mean more freq. googlebot spidering, but no relation to ranking… #Blogchat @shannonevans in reply to MotivatePeople #
@shannonevans Fresh pages receive a brief "push" in the search engines, but it's only for a day or two, then they drop, which makes sense. in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans Why blogs must be lowered by SE's – Because the content IS dated, and "archived". Lowering of rank a MUST for blogposts in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans Building new pages doesn't necess mean good SE rankings.No single thing does.Algorithms have hundreds of variables.#blogchat in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans Evergreen content works.750,000 page views 4 http://customerservicezone.com narrow nich.Over 3 million total.Same 4othersites. in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans True, so claiming blogs help SEO is wrong and possibly misleading. In fact for many it's opposite. For some, it works. in reply to shannonevans #
If you tire of angry customers dumping on you, start with the free chapters from Defusing Hostile Customers Workbook http://bit.ly/5bHBA0 #
@shannonevans On and off, the three big PPC's, but I'm very bad at it. Can't make it work for me. No doubt my own failings. in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans not sure what you mean "why busylearners on Twitter" in reply to shannonevans #
#blogchat Another downside of blogs/SEO is that if you allow comments you can't optimize properly. #
@miss_blogger I absolutely agree. The strength of the blog is interaction, but interaction degrades SEO #blogchat in reply to miss_blogger #
@shannonevans I have about 11 active domains developed by accident over 10+ years.Busyleaners.com is the "retail" site.Others are content in reply to shannonevans #
@rapidbi You could consider "motivation" as the energy to cause you to behave, but not related to realism or nonrealism in reply to rapidbi #
@shannonevans Well, I don't keep up all that well. I'm actually just working on that site, it was redesigned a month or two ago. in reply to shannonevans #
@shannonevans I'll officially "debrand" two domains in 2010, which essentially means I'll abandon them, or sell them. in reply to shannonevans #
@Nicholas_Cardot user generated text is non-optimizable for SE's, so for example keyword density hard to control. #blogchat in reply to Nicholas_Cardot #
@3keyscoach there's other issues that sometimes apply including serverloads,security, bad nav structures, difficulty customizing… in reply to 3keyscoach #
@3keyscoach but i AM a thought leader via my books. For some reason also people write blogs like diaries, and it's unprofessional sounding. in reply to 3keyscoach #
@3keyscoach my best advice for small business: find out what everyone is doing and do the opposite. in reply to 3keyscoach #
@3keyscoach last point on #blogchat – MUCH harder to customize blogs compared to html. That's why almost all blogs look alike. in reply to 3keyscoach #
@3keyscoach Some trends have good reasoning but some are arbitrary six of one, half a dozen. For latter always buck the trend. in reply to 3keyscoach #
@3keyscoach I'm fairly confident that we'll see blogs less prominent in search results over next two years if not already. in reply to 3keyscoach #

@rapidbi Waiting for my ipod touch to arrive (from airmiles) Is this a BIG concern? in reply to rapidbi #
@KateNasser Sigh. If you print it out and read it that way, it's easier. Sorry, but the article doesn't say what you said it does. #
@rapidbi 4 hours? I gather that would be for online work? Any idea about life for playing music/mp3? my other ipods do really well at that. in reply to rapidbi #
@rapidbi Is android installable on the Touch? (just wondering) in reply to rapidbi #
@KateNasser Respect means not misleading people, and not misinterpreting their work or confusing. #BeOriginal #CustomerService #Teamwork #
@KateNasser When accuracy and precision ignored and people don't bother to read properly,not respect #BeOriginal #CustomerService #Teamwork #
@rapidbi Thanks for the iTouch info. The Nano and the Classic both have/had such good battery life for mp3's, figured the same. 8hrs. not gd in reply to rapidbi #

It occurs to me how cool it would be to have Twitter "channels" like sports, games, music, quotes. Maybe the chaos is function, or not? #
@Juanhijo My problem is I'd rather NOT see quotes, sayings most of time, same with other topics. Lists might work? in reply to Juanhijo #
