If you can’t sit through an internet marketing seminar without itching to tweet some clever insight on your iPhone then chances are you’re addicted to social media. But, have you ever wondered what your Twitter habits say about you? Are people being put off by your unprofessional misspelling, is your Twitter account actually worth hundreds of dollars and, more importantly, do you need to lay off your Twitter habit a little.

Firstly, could your appalling use of grammar and spelling actually be the real reason that your followers are dropping like flies? Why not take the Twitter Grammar test and see how well you score at Twitter School?

If you’re convinced that you could be sitting on a Twitter goldmine, then take the Twitter Worth Test and see how much your account is worth. You might even be able to push Ashton Kutcher from the top spot, whose account is worth $2,583,157. Britney Spears, Ellen DeGeneres and Barack Obama are also on the Twitter rich list, but if you’re lucky you might be able to get a couple of lowly dollars for all those tweets that you struggled to fit into 140 characters.

If you’re considering selling your Twitter account and all your followers for hard cash, then chances are that you’re not addicted to Twitter. However, if getting rid of your Twitter account positively makes you green at the gills, then you’re probably a little addicted to Twitter. So why not take the Twitter Addiction test and see if it’s time to call that shrink.

I have to admit that the word geek is not a term that I’d ever consider using to describe myself. I’d probably much rather poke pins in my nails than sit through a Star Wars Movie. I can’t speak Klingon, and never intend to learn, and I’m afraid that you’d #SEMStump me if you asked me to tell you what HTML stands for. Read More

Question:

I keep hearing people talk about Meta Tags, but it sounds like a phrase from a foreign language to me.  Can you please explain what on earth these Meta Tags are and whether I should be worrying about them or not?

Thanks

Last week I found out that the page rank on my website had dropped from a 5 to a 4. Now, I’ve attended a few internet marketing seminars and so I know that the page rank tool is an indication of how authoritative Google finds my website, but my question is how is page rank calculated? I hope that be learning this I can find out what I’m doing wrong in my SEO campaign.

Question:

I understand how important key phrases are and how I should optimise for them in my page copy, but should I use the singular or plural? It gets very confusing when I look at search volumes and there seems to be such a huge difference on some and then similar numbers on others. Is there a general rule of thumb on whether to use plurals or singulars?
