<p>Well, during an early-morning guest appearance on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,&#8221; the UFC&#8217;s head honcho explains &#8220;the power or Twitter.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the video clip, White shares a story about how he showed a marketing professional how the social-networking service allows him to connect with fans in a way never previously possible.</p>
<p>White, who has more than 1 million people following his account, is famous for giving away UFC tickets and merchandise, sharing his globe-trotting adventures, &#8220;Tweeting&#8221; breaking news, and interacting (and sometimes blasting) fans on his account. He even Tweets from cageside during events.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently stumbled on several great online posts  about the creating value added content for the greater good of the community and getting genuine high search engine ranking as a result.<span id="more-562"></span></p>
<p>The 1st one if from <a href="http://powazek.com/about/">Derek Powazek</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Make something you believe in. Make it beautiful, confident, and real. Sweat every detail. If it’s not getting traffic, maybe it wasn’t good enough. Try again&#8230;..</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>It’ll take time. A lot of time. But it works. And it’s the only thing that does.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://powazek.com/posts/2090" target="_blank">http://powazek.com/posts/2090</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The second is from <a href="http://kalsey.com/blog/" target="_blank">Adam Kalsey</a></p>
<blockquote><p>So why does Google like me? Lots of content, of good quality, that gains inbound links from a diverse group of web sites. The URLs never change, and a link out to a fair amount of interesting stuff. I’m ruthless about squashing comment spam, ensuring outbound links are all quality.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>The rest is common sense. Write headlines that make sense, use them in prominent places (titles, headlines, and urls), and make it easy to access my content. I don’t do it for search bots, though. I do it for people. Turns out that serving people is the best way to boost your search rankings.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://kalsey.com/2009/10/seo_realities/" target="_blank">http://kalsey.com/2009/10/seo_realities/</a></p></blockquote>
<p>A lot of time my client thinks building a website and putting in the right keyword will get their site listed on Google&#8217;s 1st page. I have to tell them the truth and explain to them that Google is like the <a title="Cookie Monster" href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_Monster" target="_blank" class="broken_link">Cookie Monster</a> on <a title="Sesame Street" href="www.sesamestreet.org/ " target="_blank" class="broken_link">Sesame Street</a>. The more content you have on your web site the higher your search engine ranking will be.</p>
<p>I tell my clients that their website is probably the most affordable but one of the most indispensable way of building brand equity and authority online.</p>
<p>Now this brings me to my next point, if you are still building website the traditional way using a WYSIWYG software such as Dreamweaver or heaven forbid Frontpage to build your static site. You are in for rude awakening. In a matter of months your competitor will leap frog over you by dominating the search engine ranking on all the major search engine. You will find it harder and harder to compete because the infrastructure you build upon is inflexible and unyielding.</p>
<p>Is there hope ??? Yes. You need to rebuild your infrastructure and have a clean start. You can&#8217;t have <a title="New Wine - Old Wine Skin" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wine_into_Old_Wineskins" target="_blank">new wine pouring into old wine skin</a>. Don&#8217;t go to a company that still build static site. Don&#8217;t go to a web company that does not understand how to leverage Facebook, Twitter, and all the latest web 2.0 innovation. For heaven sake don&#8217;t go to a company that insist on building a Flash Splash page as a homepage for your website</p>

<p>Nope. You certainly don&#8217;t need a website.</p>
<p>But you don&#8217;t need many of the things you&#8217;ve come to rely on, such as your cell phone, e-mail, or faxes.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s no point in having an Internet presence if those you want to reach lack computers or online capabilities. Or, if you have nothing to say. But, if you do have something to say, and your audience is accessible on the Internet, then consider a website.</p>
<p>Years before the Internet, I prepared a brochure to give to people who wanted to know what I did. It was pocket size, so I always had a few on hand to give out. And it was more impressive, and more descriptive of my services than a business card. Think of a website as an electronic brochure with many advantages over a printed brochure, such as:</p>
<p>1. It&#8217;s unlimited in quantity. You don&#8217;t have to get a few thousand printed every time you run out.</p>
<p>2. It&#8217;s easily updated and, if you do it yourself, cost-free.</p>
<p>3. You can link it to your newsletter and other sites to extend its usefulness to the reader.</p>
<p>4. It also gets much wider exposure than any printed brochure ever could.</p>
<p>Initially, the only cost will be the time you spend not watching TV commercials. Most of us can afford that.</p>
<p>The first thing to do is decide what you want your web site to tell people about you. To do that, you don&#8217;t need a computer, just a pad and pencil. Put them by your TV chair so you can scribble stuff down during commercials.</p>
<p>Write a phrase about what you do. Then scribble down your qualifications. And what you do for your clients. Plus what they do for you (i.e. how you get paid).</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry about grammar, spelling, or even forming sentences at this stage. All that comes later.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t think of anything to say about yourself? Ask your significant other, a client, or a few of your clients. Find out what they think you do, and why they deal with you.</p>
<p>If after a week your pad is blank, forget it. You&#8217;re not ready for a web site. Why? Because the most important thing about a web site is content, and if you&#8217;ve got nothing to say, you&#8217;ve got no content.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve filled a page or so about what you do, and the benefits of dealing with you, it&#8217;s time to reshape it. Start by dividing all the stuff you&#8217;ve written into two parts, qualifications, and other. In the  qualifications pile include all the phrases that describe why prospects should deal with you. Try to turn them into a paragraph or two of benefits, and call them your Professional Background.</p>
<p>The other pile consists of what&#8217;s left over, maybe your age, family life, hobbies, etc. Rewrite all those phrases into a more readable form and call that your Personal Profile.</p>
<p>Now you can turn on your computer, and type it all into your word processor, edit it so it hangs together and makes sense, then save it as MySite so you can copy it into your web site.</p>
<p>You now have some content for your website. To create it, go to one of mine at http://www.eTIP.ca/</p>
