This method will help you to receive your favorite tweets via SMS. It is useful for Indian users only. Are you interested in getting your favorite twitter tweets via sms? My trial and error method helped me to receive my favorite tweets via sms. There are many twitter sms services available from where you can update your twitter easily (Upcoming post at techgenuine) but getting tweets is little bit difficult.

Airtel has recently released SMS service for their user. It does cost you few bucks. If you want to save few bucks then you can use Google SMS channel. You must be aware of Google SMS channel. This method is especially useful for Indian users where Google SMS channel is available to use at no cost.

Here I will mention about keyword search on twitter. As an example I have considered “SEO”, “Twitter Tools”, “iphone”, “ipod” keywords. Have a look at below URL. This is a feed URL of twitter search based on mentioned twitter Continue reading →

Google Maps India developers has recently added support for local route navigation. Have you ever been to India? If you are an Indian then you must be aware of how complicated our India road signal is. Especially it is difficult for us to find streets in other states for example I live in Bangalore but I don’t know Kannada(local language) language so it is difficult for a people like me to reach friends house somewhere in Malleshwaram (especially that 5th cross 18th street and other complicated directions).

Google maps has added few features like important landmarks, business points and other important features to identify the place correctly (funny enough if you have to reach my college you have to say “Shalini bar” as the landmark, huh??? I hope google is not displaying shalini bar as a landmark to reach me ). Continue reading →

There are obviously many things that you can do to for search engine optimization (SEO) but which should you focus on? Your time is valuable so I made a list of the top 5 things that you should do to maximize your time. In other words, why spend four hours on something when you can spend an hour on a task that should return 100x more value? Enough chatter, let’s get on the list:

1. Write fresh content consistently! I’ve mentioned this in several previous posts, most recently at Blog about your niche. There is absolutely nothing more important than providing real value on your blog on a regular basis. So write, write, write. Set a goal of every other day or every weekday or every day. Just make sure you post useful information related to the theme of your blog a few times a week at a minimum. If your blog is about puppies, keep writing about puppies and skip the rant on politics.
2. Make your titles relevant. Having good, catchy titles are great. Having good, catchy titles with keywords related to your post is even better. So if your post is about losing weight, instead of “Shedding your unwanted fat” you could go with “Shedding the extra weight: lose 10 pounds in a month safely”.
3. Use keywords in your content. Don’t go crazy with this and scatter keywords unnecessarily (you will actually be penalized for that) but make sure you have some keywords in the body of your post. Imagine if I never actually wrote the words “search engine optimization” in this post, which is exactly what the post is about.
4. Have a logical site structure. This is pretty automatic if you use a good blogging platform (e.g. blogger or wordpress.com). However, if you are using custom themes or running your own blog on a separate host, that may change things a bit. Just make sure that your blog structure is organized so your directories and pages are easy to understand.
5. Use Google Analytics. It’s arguably the most useful analytical tool for your blog and it’s absolutely free! There’s no reason not to use Google Analytics. You can learn about where your visitors are from geographically, how long they are staying, what your traffic is this week compared to last week, how many other posts they are looking at, and much more. One important thing to monitor is which keywords are bringing them to your site. You could simply continue to utilize those keywords in future posts if you want to improve ranking for that niche.

None of this is groundbreaking. In fact, you should probably do these things for your readers anyway, not just for SEO purposes. And even though search engine algorithms change all the time, the aforementioned things to do have pretty much always been part of the core. It doesn’t mean you don’t need to do anything else either but if you only have time for 5 things, do these. Backlinks, keywords in the URL, tags/categories, directories, social networking, microblogging, and a bunch of other tactics will come in due time. Happy blogging!

It has always been a dilemma for me to use twitter/tweet in other languages. If you are one of my twitter follower then you must have noticed that I always try different twitter tools and services to improve my tweets and conversation ratio. If you are looking a way to improve your twitter conversation ratio the you can follow me on twitter from here.

Twitter is planning to integrate language option in their API but why do you want to wait when you already have some tools that can help you to tweet in your regional languages. It is always advisable to target users according to the region or language they speak. Here I am listing  five such tools that will help you to tweet in other languages.

Twitter In Other Languages Like Hindi

Twitter in different languages

1.Twitlan: Twitlan is one of the best and the first website that lets you tweet in different languages. Currently  it supports 81 different languages. Indian users will be glad to know that many Indian languages are supported by twitlen.

2.Quillpad: Quillpad is very helpful for Indian users as it supports only Indian languages. All you need to do is to type your tweet in your language (in English. ex aap kaise ho?) and it will convert it into your chosen language, just copy-paste that message to twitter and tweet it.

3.Twitrans: Twitrans converts your tweet into the desired language (only 14 languages are supported). To use this service you need to use short codes of the language to translate into the desired language (ex @twitrans en2hi I want to type this message in hindi). You can check those short codes at their website. In the above example the twitrans converts English language tweet into Hindi language. I personally don’t like this service as it takes lot of time to translate the tweets.

4.Wakooz: Wakooz uses Google translator service to convert your tweets into other language tweets. It doesn’t take much time as it is using a Google translator. I personally recommend this service to our readers.

5.Google Translator: Well I guess I do not need to say more about this service as you must be aware of this service. Convert your twitter tweets into any language using Google translator and then copy it into twitter message bar and push the button.

Let us know if you have come across any other services like above. Have you tried the above services?
