The nature of the social web encourages participation: sharing, voting, commenting and linking. Popular social content gets exposure, traffic and can result in a substantial number of relevant inbound links. Due to growing popularity of Facebook and Twitter, search engines such as Google and Bing are incorporating social media posts/messages into their search result pages. Eventually, efforts in social media promotion can improve search engine visibility.

In order to get more links, you may consider adding some high quality and practical how-to tips in your website. When your content is useful, other webmasters are willing links to your website. For example, your website is selling mobile phones, you may write an article and illustrate with example on how to use your 3G mobile phone as WIFI Hotspot. Other relevant websites could reference to your site when they are talking about WIFI Hotspot.

In addition, one may consider develop some useful online tool in your website. Webmasters or forum posters are likely to mention your site when your site has some values.

Hence, search engines are more likely to index your web pages. When your blog post has valuable information, your website can get additional inbound links and increasing your website’s link popularity. Also, each post can be optimized for additional keyword phrases.

Spending money in pay per click search marketing is sure to increase search engine visibility. However, pay per click search marketing can be very expensive when your industry is highly competitive in search engines.

Re: How To Pick Keywords To Rank For - For anyone that wants to learn SEO, Stomper Net is the true expert. I just found out over in the CYN forums that they are giving away their Stomping the Search Engines courses for just $1. I own a copy of these courses, and I can tell you they are rock-solid. I highly recommend them. This is way cheaper than paying a firm or "guru" to do it for you, and I'm a strong believer in learning stuff for yourself.
Re: Using Twitter To Double Your Traffic? - I'm sure in many cases Twitter sends more traffic than Search Engines because most people don't have good enough SE rankings to get SE traffic. But anyone can get Twitter traffic. The problem is that Twitter traffic won't convert for the most part and SE traffic will. I'd venture to say that 98% of the time getting just 100 visitors from search is better than getting 2000+ from Twitter.
