Twitter has gone mainstream. As Twitter users, we knew instantly when Mumbai came under terrorist attack. We laughed at the photo of Stephen Fry stuck in an elevator when he tweeted his predicament, we were there when Ashton Kutcher beat CNN to 1 million followers, we caught the first glimpse of passengers being evacuated from the ditched plane on the Hudson River and we all suffered the lag time when Oprah Winfrey sent her first ever tweet on live TV.

Just like the Internet revolutionized information sharing ten decades ago, social media is all set to change the way people share information in the present time. If you have to be successful on the web, then you need to have a solid presence on social media networks. In fact, even search engines like Microsoft Bing and Google have acknowledged the power of social media and decided to include updates from popular social media websites like Facebook and Twitter in their search results.

While it is not healthy for a company to focus too much time and attention on the competition, it is important to stay abreast of what your competition is doing. When evaluating the competition, assess the industry giants and companies closest to your space. But be sure that you don''t exclude the small companies in your assessments. Sometimes a small competitor can have innovative ideas or marketing concepts, but may lack the capital to really benefit from the concept. This may present you with an opportunity.

The problem is, approaching link building as an end goal and tactically, is very much like a hamster running in it''s cage. That''s what many mechanical SEO consultants do: Chase links one by one or get creative with link bait to attract an influx of links from blogs that write about the kinds of things other blogs do for link bait. I should know, in the past 12 years of providing SEO services, there have been many opportunities to do just that. It''s not scalable, not sustainable and certainly not strategic.

A standard social media campaign helps spread the word about you and encourages other people to as well. An explosive social media campaign has inherent viral exposure, inspires community driven communication, helps make the web a better place, and even brings joy to people, however fleeting.

And with the new features and tools that it has been coming up with, it is only gaining more popularity on the social media landscape. In fact, the recent announcements by Microsoft Bing and Google about their decision to include Twitter updates in their search results has only increased its relevance. All this just reinstates the fact that if you want to realize the full potential of your web presence, it is no longer sensible to ignore Twitter.

Web 2.0 is the next generation of technology solutions where interactive content is the norm. There is no agreement on exactly what Web 2.0 means. Depending on who you are speaking with, you may receive different explanations. At it''s heart, Web 2.0 is about the maturity of the Web. While many refer to Web 2.0 as companies that employ powerful web technologies, the key components of Web 2.0 are said to include: the Web as a platform, collaboration, and syndication.

Google Webmaster Tools even has a spot where you can tell Google where to look for the sitemap, if you haven''t already told search engines about it by using your robots.txt file or just thrown it into the root directory. There are even websites that will spider your site for free and generate a sitemap for up to 50,000 URLs. (Just look in Google under XML Sitemap Generator.)

That could be in the form of a post getting re-tweeted hundreds of times, hitting the homepage of Digg, shared a lot on Facebook, getting noticed by the media, or one of the many other ways a blog can get traffic. However, a flood of traffic can quickly cripple a blog and turn that dream into a nightmare.
