Twitter has come a long way in the past 3 years. To start off you could tell your friends that eggs were poached that morning, you can now share links, tweet within a specified subject matter, and keyword search the latest and tweets on your selected matter. Why is this special?
Google, uses complex algorithms to sort the internet. Twitter uses people you know to tell you what is on the internet. Which is better? Time will tell…
Shop sites can promote their products through it, you can share links to worthy reads through it, and help bring traffic to your blog with Twitter.
As Blog Monies is all about blogging for money to hopefully go into business yourself and Wordpress is my favourite CMS, the following is my Top 52 list as we come to the end of 2009.

After you have exhausted your creative energy giving birth to the perfect blog post you hit ‘publish’. Relax not young blogger, for you must get your words out there. There is no quick fix for this and unfortunately it takes time and persistence to build your online reputation. The following is a plethora of promoting activities you can get stuck into for building your readership, your traffic and inevitably your monies!
A good way to promote your site submit its link to be including in a free directory. I recommend choosing only 3 quality directories and submitting your site. The idea is not to spam every internet directory with your website link but build quality links to your site.
Watch out for dodgy directories where you have to pay to submit. It has been found that there are directories out there who list company/blog websites, then pack up and move to the next scam internet directory.

Free Article Directories
There has been massive growth of article directories on the internet. This is because they like to generate revenue by using Google AdSense and uploaded content from enthusiastic free article writers.
Free articles serve the author by sending specific traffic back to their website. This is effectively achieved by attaching an intriguing signature or author bio at the bottom of the article. As free online newsletter editors search for monthly content, new blogs seek relevant texts, author bio links grow as their free articles are republished. Google then scans these blogs, newsletters, article directories which all point back to the authors PageRank effectively pushing up the author website in Google Search results.
