This week I was focusing on the travel keyword phrases Travel Site,Travel Sites, and Travel Agent Marketing. I did this by leaving blog comments on various blogs with the Keyword text. I also submitted a couple of articles to Ezinearticles, using those words in the author box. Once the articles are live, I will add the links to a post. Lastly, I submitted the site to a variety of web directories such as general directories and other niche travel directories. For some articles on Link Building, I suggest reading the Link Building Series of blog posts located at Pixelheadonline.com.
I also added a few articles to the directory this week, in the Green Travel Category. Green Travel is a targeted travel keyword as well.

Twitter Travel Update

This week I maxed out on the number of people I can follow on Twitter, and using Your Twitter Karma I was able to unfollow many Twitter users whom I had been following. Initially, I did not want to unfollow anyone, but watching the video on who to Follow on  Twitter for a second time, I realized I needed to reduce the number of people that I was following.

First, after loging on to the Twitter Karma site and getting my follower base uploaded, I switched to “Following Only” mode. I then scrolled down to the bottom of this screen and checked off people based upon:

  • Those who had never updated their Twitter.
  • Those who did not put in a custom Twitter icon.

These two enabled me do unfollow about 200 people. Several days later when I was again maxed out on my followers, I went back and selected these two categories again, and then I also selected people that had not updated their profiles in time limits upto a week.

In the Twitter tutorial video Robert suggest that you also unfollow those without a picture of a real person. I have not gotten to that point, but I very well might in the near future.

I  also have been practicing the habit of approving only 1 free travel site resource per day. I then sandwich a tweet announcing the travel resource between 2-3 other tweets that could be retweets or comments to other Twitter users.
