Building Backlinks with Twitter

Despite concerns that the nofollow tag that accompanies Twitter links means that PageRank and other algorithms are not changed by links posted to Twitter, the reality is that Twitter’s social links have essentially canceled out this issue, giving you the ability to build both your presence and backlinks through Twitter.  Since social links now work the same as backlinks, you can use Twitter just like any other website for posting links to: since Twitter is a high-quality, authority site, this makes posting on Twitter smart and necessary in building an extensive backlink presence.  Here are some guidelines to consider when building your backlinks on this social networking platform.
Develop A Solid Profile
One of the best and cheapest ways to expand your presence on Twitter is by building up your own account(s) that can be used to push your links to others.  Not only will this expand your presence through backlinks (thanks to your established Twitter profile) but others who see you message may end up passing it along, adding even more backlinks and traffic to your site.  Twitter profiles that are established typically have lots of followers, a low follower to following ratio and lots of incoming links to the profile page.  While you are working on establishing your own authority Twitter profiles, you may want to consider the next option as a short-term solution for boosting backlinks and traffic.
Hire A Twitter Pro
While Twitter remains relatively demonetized by its owners, those in search engine optimization and advertising have learned how to make money helping others with their own endeavors. There are plenty of “Twitter services” on the web that offer everything from established Twitter accounts (typically very pricey) to backlinks on a per-mention basis. The best and cheapest short-term route is to pay a Twitter user to post your link to their followers several times over a period of a few days. This approach is very effective and will give you backlinks and traffic.
Communicate With Others
Twitter is a large community but many personal connections can be built by reaching out to other users. When someone needs help, answer their questions. When you are polite, friendly and approachable, you will find that many people will want to follow you and as a result, you will build authority on your Twitter accounts. You will also be amazed at how many people will voluntarily re-tweet your links for you if you are simply nice to them. Communication is everything – it’s obviously the essence of Twitter – and you will achieve great results by using this approach.
Track Your Progress
After using Twitter for some time, it can become more difficult to track back all of your backlinks manually. Thankfully, there is no need as you can track everything by using Pingler’s Twitter Links Finder as a way to see where you’ve got backlinks and how you are proceeding with saturating the platform with your offerings. You can check each page simply by typing in the URL; results of the number of backlinks on Twitter for the page in question will then be displayed for you to record.

What Can We Do With a Computer?

Expert Author Manolis Skoras
Workstations and laptops play a very essential and almost indispensable role in our lives.
PCs are used extensively globally and in all kinds of environments. We use computers in companies, factories, homes and government offices. Students use computers at schools for teaching and for keeping student files. Clinics use PCs to store patient records and to deliver health care.
Along with these types of workstations, there are also several special computers intended for specific jobs. We find these computers inside other devices such as TVs, sound systems, ATMs and many other electronic devices. We can even found them embedded in devices such as washing machines and refrigerators.
Where are workstations found within your environment?
PCs are used for various reasons and in several different places. They have different dimensions and processing power, but all PCs have a few features in common: 1. The physical modules, internal and external, that make up a PC, 2. The operating system. This is a group of computer programs that control the hardware of a computer. An OS manages the hardware resources such as the memory and the hard disk. Windows 7 for example is Microsoft's latest operating system, 3. The applications. Every computer has programs that perform specific functions using the installed hardware. An example of application software is a word processor or a computer game.
Software programs can be divided into two broad categories:
Business-Industry Applications: These are designed for use by a particular business or industry. For instance, warehouse management software, training tools and legal software.
General Use Applications: These are used by various organizations and home users for several purposes. These software programs can usually be used by any user or business. General use applications include software packages like Microsoft office 2010 suite. Microsoft office includes several different applications such as Word, Excel, Access, Visio and others.
Very popular are the graphics editing and multimedia authoring applications. These software programs permit users to change and improve photos or create rich media presentations that contain voice, video and graphics.
Some applications are network capable, and some other applications can work only locally.
Local software: This is a local software program, like a word processor, that is installed on the local hard disk of the computer. The software runs only on that computer.
Network software: This is a network application that is designed to work over a network, like for example the Internet. Network software has two modules, one that runs on the local PC and one that runs on a remote PC. Microsoft Outlook is an example of a network application.
Almost all the computers have both local and network applications installed.
