Social Media Flashmobs
If there is one thing I like to see, it's people taking a creative approach to social media. It's so easy to forget that Facebook is a social tool, not a business one. Paulino from Social Media Travellers is a man who likes to try out new approaches to social media and he does it with a liberal dose of fun. His latest creation is Flash Mob Monday and it's starting to take off. Who says that you have to all get together in one place at one time to create a flashmob? Paulino is getting everyone together in a video clip instead. It's flashmob via video and it's a novel promotional ...

Why bother with Disqus?
Pronounced Discuss, Disqus has changed the way that blog comments systems work. The system allows you to combine comments with community in a way that no other comment system can. It boosts social interaction through the commenting system which in turn helps you to build a community which can then result in your site receiving more traffic. Many bloggers use plugins including Akismet in order to block spam and CommentLuv is often used to'share the love' for comments. However even though these plugins enable you to have far more interaction with your readers, it is true that the more plugins you are using the higher the chance of you experiencing blog problems. With the Disqus ...

Keywords and keyword density
Straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. If you struggle with keywords and working out how often to use them in your text, have a look at this clip. Matt Cutts from Google tells it the way it is. Just think... He might save us all from some of those dire sites where the text just doesn't make sense because it's filled with the same word again and again whether it fits or not!
