How to really pimp twitter

pimping

You’d be surprised how many goofs search for crazy things like that this tittle. Anyway this post isn’t about lame tools to use to auto tweet or search engine traffic. It’s about LINKS and the stupidity of following  worthless status updates from twitter or even people’s twitter names.  So before I remove Andy Bailey’s twitter link widget and no it’s not because for some reason he blocked me from following him, maybe it was he got mad that I own Bloggerluv and do followluv and NEITHER has anything to do with plugins or anything else Mr Bailey should worry about. I asked him about it along time ago and he said he didn’t know what I was talking about. Funny because when this blog was new like over 2 yrs ago I used comment luv and wrote about how great it is and Andy even came by which was cool. No I like the plugin and all Andy’s work is excellent. I want to remove the widget because one I never if maybe twice ever clicked someone’s twitter name, I go to the person’s blog if I want to know anything about them. Sure it looks cool to see people ‘s name but it’s not worth following 1000′s of links back to Twitter and I’m sure their not sweating the loss.

See I will be honest and thought I was slick and unlike most blogs that don’t follow links I THOUGHT it would be a good exchange. Maybe I fucked myself out of a PR 5 and got jammed with a fucking 3 because of all these worthless twitter links being followed and I’m doing my best to delete  all trackbacks from twitter, to me it’s lame to have your comment count in the 20′s and you really have 5 comments. I even turned off trackbacks in the backend and on this no trackbacks button on the bottom here and they still come in like crazy, I have to work a part time job keeping up with them but I’m not complaining so RT me :P

Ok that’s why the twitterlink thing is gone. Also people should look at it like I did us all a favor in terms of more page rank following to YOUR LINKS so what do you Think ? Thanks and I hope every one has a great weekend :)

Hey mate.

I actually had a thought about this, seeing as I have also not clicked a twitter link, and seeing Andy beards revealing post on his blog about twitter links, I did think about it before I added it to mine, since then I have wondered if it was worth adding… now you just ratcheted that thinking up some more. After all what do twitter give to us in PR?

I am already choosy about links, and these are the only ones making me think twice with the plugins, like keywordluv, commentluv.
Commentluv was first, and one I am definitely keeping until it is not worth keeping… hopefully it will always be ok and worth having… the keywordluv, well, it’s not be on long, so see how it goes. :)

But the twitter one is making me have doubts.

Andy is a great bloke, yeah, smart too, known him a few years now and he was also a massive help with the move to WP from blogger for me. :)
Used to chat on blogcatalog with him too. Going down a bit that place now though eh… :(

I’ve got my TwitterLinks set as NoFollow, I did it by manually adding TwitterLink to my theme design, that way enabled me to make them NoFollow, no point wasting link juice out to twitter ;)

never did get around to installing that plugin. I agree, if I want to check someone out, I will peep their blog and if I am then impressed I may follow them on Twitter.. It take a lot for me to follow someone on Twitter, I only follow like 5o people right now.

Do you think Andy would be pissed that I own BloggingLuv.com ?? ;-)

Most of those huge Twitter wannabes are swollen in their own egos. Not paying attention to the backs they rode in on.
