    This is great idea! They will better know how to rank a site by really knowing the people’s assessment on a particular site through social networking sites.

    Don’t set up a Facebook page just because every one else has one, rather develop a basic strategy of how you will use Facebook and how it fits into your marketing strategy. If you still feel the compelling urge to create a Facebook page, then create a personal page and learn the basics.

    Matt – you mention at :36 that you “always have” used Facebook and Twitter in your web search rankings, yet you mention (at :48) that “in May 2010″ you say you filmed a video where you “didn’t use that as a signal” and “at the time, [you] didn’t use that as a signal.”

    Well, which is it?

    How oftern do you come out with new videos?

  38. TopOnlineEarners says:

    @mantungto Hi, if your articles are already approved in Ezine Articles then unless you edit them or take any action that requires Ezines to ‘re-approve’ your article then you probably won’t ever have a ‘penalty’ However for maximum effect I would advise at least rewriting your articles a little and then spinning them before submitting into FTS. The results are worth the extra effort, trust me

  39. mantungto says:

    Got a quick but important question. If I have already written an article on Ezine and copy that article and post it as an article into this system, will I get penalty from ezine for duplication? Ezine maybe very strict on this so need to know if I can use my existing articles there or if I need to write completely different ones for this system you’re introducing here. Thx and good video by the way.
