I disagree - because his analysis is based on the Twitter users who haven’t quite “gotten it” yet.

The most effective users of Twitter (and my new favorite, Friendfeed) don’t just sit around talking about what they’ve had for dinner. In addition to highlighting news or opinions they find interesting, they carry on a meaningful long term conversation with a significant percentage of their followers.

They just do it 140 characters at a time.

They carry on a  conversation that is up to the minute and frequently leads the participants outside of  Twitter to blogs, web pages, forums, for other types of interactions. It is perfect for today’s generation’s short attention span and lack of desire to read.  The generation already responsible for video taking over the internet marketing product supply.

Here is the full text of the press release:

Unconventional Author And Marketing Guru Predicts The Death Of Twitter In 2009

Author, copywriter, and direct-response marketing consultant Craig Garber, from kingofcopy.com, doesn’t claim to be a new media expert - but he is an expert at selling, and at pushing prospects’ emotional buy-buttons. And in a controversial move, Garber is predicting the death of the outrageously popular microblogging service, Twitter, in 2009.

According to Garber, here’s why Twitter is a waste of any serious marketer’s time:

* Content - “If ‘content is king,’ as even entry-level marketers know, then Twitter’s limit of 140 characters doesn’t even get you started. It’s not possible to present an emotionally compelling story in just one or two sentences,” Garber notes.

* Rapport - Twitter doesn’t facilitate the bonding that’s needed to stand out among all the buying options in today’s marketplace. “Rapport comes from getting to know someone on a more intimate level than ‘Who likes chicken?’ or ‘I am the Lord of cats,’ and all the other inane comments that make up the lion’s share of communication on Twitter,”
Garber argues.

* Trust - Effective marketing happens when rapport develops into relationships. “With skepticism at an all-time high, it’s critical to focus on credibility and believability,” says Garber. “This requires sharing meaningful information and having dialogue over time. The trivialities shared on Twitter do not build into anything else.”

Garber, who values time as his most precious commodity, says, “Twitter’s just an online water cooler for people who have too much time on their hands. It is NOT a viable marketing tool. And while some marketers claim they’re getting excellent results from Twitter, remember, you measure results in dollars, not in ‘followers.’ In fact, using Twitter makes you look broke and needy - as if you have nothing better to do with your time. Truly successful people are way too busy making money to go on Twitter and try to get attention by screaming louder than the next guy.”

“I’ve never been afraid to buck trends, because being unconventional is what makes you money,” adds Garber, whose forthcoming book “Small List, Big Profits” reveals the 21 proven direct-marketing strategies he used to make over $578,000 from a small email list of less than 5,000 people. “It’s time someone spoke up and proclaimed that Emperor Twitter is wearing no clothes.”

Despite my disagreeing with Craig on this one point about the usefulness of shorter conversations, I do agree with almost everything else he says the

Traffic Mania - RSSBot From Incansoft

It  helps you generate M A S S I V E Traffic and Increase Rankings as part of your overall off-page SEO efforts!

Seriously folks, it’s no big secret that RSS Submission is one of the best, fast track methods for getting sites indexed, generating backlinks, increasing SERPS and of course pulling in traffic.

The problem is that it takes a few hours to manually submit your RSS Feeds to the best online aggregators out there and you end up repeating the process over and over for every new feed you create.

OK, I know that there are alternatives to manual submission out there you can do too:

• You can outsource it if you can find a reliable service
• You can buy other programs that claim to submit automatically (some of these only Ping)
• You can pay monthly fees to use certain programs

The problem here is that the cost of outsourcing, while minimal, still adds up over time. And the “Other” auto-submitter programs we’ve seen have not stayed up-to-date…As recently as this morning a number of services they claim to submit to are no longer online.

Traffic Mania - RSSBot Actually Submits Feeds As Promised!

Automatic Updates of  Traffic Mania - RSSBot For You!

You cannot go wrong with this little gem - and this is all you need to do:

Each time you start Traffic Mania - RSSBot, it offers to check the online database of Feed Aggregators and will automatically update itself by adding any new ones and deleting any that are no longer online. These updates are always free to customers too!

When I come up with something I think is a great niche, nothing kills my excitement faster than having to wait for graphics, or for it to take a long time to get a site online. The faster I can take get the site up the better it does.

A tool that is helping me greatly with that is GFXWriter, a marketer’s substitute for Photoshop. I have gigabytes full of blank headers and ebook covers that I’m supposed to be able to do something with using Photoshop, but I can spend hours with those re-doing them over and over again and they still look like garbage.

But not with GFXWriter. I’m able to do all sorts of things to take those headers and turn them into something that really looks good. Best of all I was able to get GFXWriter for a small portion of the cost. I only try to sell things I actually use, so I bought the rights to sell GFXWriter.

Go on over to http://extracashmethods.com/gfxwriter and take a look at what you can do with it.

The second great tool I’ve come across lets me build very good looking HTML auto-updating websites with eBay and Amazon and Clickbank RSS feeds very quickly. Best of all these sites don’t have to all look exactly the same and they are SEO optimized to make sure any work you do building links makes a real difference.

And this can all be done quickly. I can use the graphics I created on my new niche site. You can go to http://extracashmethods.com/ezniche to find out all the details about this.

Best of luck with building your business.

Of course, I’ll never stop using EzineArticles.com as the “go to” place to submit articles, but this new resource shows a great deal of promise along with the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new model of article marketing. A model that seems to be exactly the kind of thing Google is trying to encourage and is therefore rewarding with good search ranking results.

Google is strongly emphasizing the user experience these days when giving advice on how to get your site ranked at the top. Here are some of the ways this article directory goes overboard to create a great user experience and make you look better as an author.

• There are no adsense or any other type of ad on the page with your article to draw clicks away from your intended target.
• You can embed images into your article.
• You can embed video into your article.
• Your resource box is effectively placed on the page 3 different ways to make sure it is easy for the reader to find more information.

My personal experience is that the lack of ads and the resource box placement alone are greatly increasing my click through rates. Even better, I’m seeing more actual views of the exact same article I had submitted elsewhere. Higher click through and more views.

On the author side of things, the article pages look great and really help make your information look impressive. Here is an example of one of my articles. Every article is reviewed within 24 hours during the business week. If your article needs changes you receive a personal detailed email telling you what the problem is. No need to guess or have to resubmit the article several times with minor changes hoping you got it right this time.

Of course there is a price to pay for not having ads plastered all over your articles and guaranteed review times. There is no such thing as a free lunch. This article directory is a monthly membership site with a small $10/month membership fee. This fee is easily offset by two benefits of membership. First, Allen Graves has an article marketing guide that he has easily been selling at $50. This is hands down the best article marketing guide that I have ever read. For a limited time, you get a copy of this article marketing guide when you sign up. Second, the greater click through rates bring you scores of highly targeted potential customers. I’ve already made 2 years worth of fees directly from the articles I’ve posted.

I know what you’re thinking. “How in the hell does he know how much he’s made from those articles?” Here is how. One of the best things about this article directory is that you can install tracking right into your article so you know exactly how many article views you’ve had, where every reader came from,  where they went to when they left, and even which resource box they clicked on when they left. I do that with Google Analytics, but you can also use Addfreestats, Statcounter or Woopra.

I think this article directory is the wave of the future.

Those people are few and far between.

The result is the average person looking for a way to make money from home flounders around trying one thing after another looking for the magic pill that’s going to shoot them to the top of the heap. They become increasingly more frustrated until they finally just give up.

The sad thing is you don’t have to be one of those super smart or super talented people to make a solid income online from home. There are literally thousands of ways to do it.

Here are the simple and straightforward steps:

• Settle down and figure out a good method that fits your personality,
• Find someone who is already doing it successfully
• Find out the specifics of how they are doing it.
• Then concentrate on doing it until you have it working successfully.

Voila! You are a business owner working from home. I know that sounds easy, but maybe that is why so many people overlook the subtle points which are most important.

When starting out, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Find a method that fits your personality and someone else is already doing successfully. Then you know that it will work so you won’t be wasting your time. You also know it is worth buckling down to while refusing to be distracted by every new idea that comes your way.

That is the key to success.

Intelligent concentrated action.

It’s the “talent” those natural successes possess. The secret to why they succeed so easily.

The reason I know this is because I went through it. I fell into online marketing trying to promote my website for my offline business. I fumbled around with one plan or another, paying out way too much money to be taking in so little.

Then a year ago I came across a book authored by Willie Crawford’s Internet Marketing Inner Circle that helped me make more progress in two weeks than I had made in the previous year. The name of that book is “20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online“. Now I make a lot more than that through affiliate marketing and online advertising, but only because I read that book and concentrated on a plan until I got it to work before I branched out and expanded it.

The great thing about “20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online” is that it shows you 20 different step by step blueprints, any one of which has the potential to make at least $100 per day. Each system is explained by someone who has been there and done it. This is 274 pages outlining a wide variety of experience from men and women from many different backgrounds. The best thing is that you can take action on what this book teaches you without having to buy a bunch of different products or systems. Some of them you barely need any money at all.

Based on my own great experience since purchasing and reading this book, I wholeheartedly endorse it to anyone who comes to me asking how to get started making money from home. It really helped me.

I have some for sale at a discount. I have them listed on my website at http://DomainSellersMarket.com and will look at any offers.

I have the names divided into categories to make it easy to find the appropriate ones.

Many times, people go to register a name for their website and find that all the good ones are already taken. In that case, it often makes sense for a business trying to brand itself in the marketplace to buy a high demand domain name from the present owner.

The market value listed on the site for each domain was obtained by comparing them with actual sales prices of similar domains that have sold in the past. They can do this research right now if they’d like to test it. Pick any domain name from the list. Note the market value I have placed on it. Then go to DNsaleprice.com (not my site) and enter that domain name. This compares the domain name with a database of actual past real-life sales.

Then go to http://DomainSellersMarket.com and name the price you want to pay.

Again, I really want to get rid of these domains and will look at any offers
