TwooglePlus is a simple service that cross posts your tweets (from one or more Twitter accounts) to your Google+ account. On the homepage it states that the service is “currently” free, giving the idea that it may not be free in the future. So, now is the best time to sign up. Using the service is easy. Let’s take a look. There are 4 steps to getting started with TwooglePlus.

Google continues to work on their plan to be more transparent and today’s (or actually yesterday’s) lesson comes in the detection of bad ads. Adwords has a checkered past with collecting money from advertisers that are, quite simply, heartless. The legal side of the ledger is not what many of these “bad ad” types ever consider. It’s whether money lands in their bank account that is the only measure of success. Google has paid a price steep price ($500 million) in the past for

This guest post is by Anish Majumdar of DashAmerican.com. The most valuable piece of writing advice I ever got was from an editor at a print magazine after I’d handed in the first draft of an article. I’d spent hours poring over old issues to “get the tone right” and had fought my natural style every step of the way. The end result? A returned draft shot through with corrections and a one-line response: “Write from the inside and trust that we’ll get it.”

Last week I wrote a post about Neal Mohan, who will be joining us for this month’s Signal conference in San Francisco. Today I’m focusing on Adam Bain and his role as President, Global Revenue at Twitter.

This guest post is by Alex of Think Traffic. We all know how important page titles are for SEO and just the general success of our blogs and websites, don’t we? Well we are told often enough, so we certainly should… But how many people actually give page titles the amount of attention they actually deserve? Most clever bloggers spend a little thought on each page title—they think carefully about how to word it in such a way as to get both the search engines and the potential readers to pay attention.

Your own blog might be packed with great content … but it won’t be doing you much good if you don’t have any readers. One of the best ways to bring readers to your blog is to write guest posts on larger, related, blogs. This not only gets your name and writing in front of people, it also helps your Google rankings (because you’ll get a link to your site from a high-pagerank blog). If you’ve never guest-posted before, you might not know where to start. Here’s your step-by-step guide: Some bloggers

On Monday Ali published a post about getting value out of your archives, and one of the points mentioned was to re-publish your old posts, especially the popular ones, as many of your new readers might not have seen those. Some people outlined in the comment section that a big problem with this strategy is that you’ll be creating duplicate content on your site, which might upset Google. One simple work around would be to change the date stamp on the post instead of re-publishing it. For instance, say

The last couple of weeks have turned up some valuable blogging advice for those who are working to hone their craft and become better blog post writers. Not everyone falls into this category—some bloggers are happy with the way they write. Others publish videos or sound files instead of text. And that’s fine. But for the rest of us, I wanted to put together a little roundup of advice on each of the parts of a text-based blog post. Have you seen a great article on crafting quality blog posts recently?
