It's Wednesday, so it's time for the Wednesday Minute - the weekly audio tip for marketers. This week I am going to tell you about The Top 5 Twitter Tools for Marketers.

What's more important? The quantity of your Twitter following or the depth of your relationships with your followers?

The answer is BOTH! Having hundreds of thousands of followers must be nice. But we all know that the depth of the relationships you maintain with your tweeple is paramount.
This article will reveal five great Twitter tools that will help you find and engage with quality Twitter followers.

Notice I mentioned "depth." However, there must be another side to this coin. The reach. And if you want to have "reach" on Twitter (getting 10+ retweets, for example) on regular basis, chances are you will need a large number of followers.
This article will focus on getting you those numbers.

It's Wednesday, so it's time for the Wednesday Minute - the weekly audio tip for marketers. This week I am going to tell you about Keywords and a New Resource Tool Called GoRank.com.

Keywords are a very important part of internet marketing. Wordtracker has a free tool that lets you check what consumers type in and search for every 24 hours. Google also has a free tool that can help you. When you think about it, sometimes it is really difficult to come up with what people are searching for, but these tools can help you see if someone is looking for example, a gluten free diet or wheat free diet or a celiac diet. Why is this important?

Adwords which is Google's revenue source relies on keywords, your website copy should be built keeping these keywords in mind and how people search are all connected by the magic keywords. Today I am also suggesting that you might like this new tool called GoRank. It will help you find related key words which can be very resourceful when you are trying to identify keywords that perhaps your competition may be missing on their site and to help you understand one more time why is important to understand how consumers search for your products and services.

There are tools which can provide related keywords, like goRank. Simply submit a query, and the tool will check Google for top keywords related to your search
