Spam is a massive problem anywhere. Twitter is one. Blogs have been one for a long time. Commenluv is a darn good solution in my opinion. Not only does it allow fellow bloggers to promote their site, but also encourage to add quality content on someone else blog, which in turn can rank and get more traffic. Lots hope that it spreads to other social medias. I bet it could make quite a difference.
Nice blog this one.
The great thing about finding an influencer to help you is that unlike using Twitter or Facebook, it is an evergreen method.
Everything that goes up will eventually go down. Maybe not in 2012, but Twitter is being suffocated by spam, and bots, and company accounts. I’ve stopped using it for a while now. Facebook is still holding on, but nothing can grow forever.
There are so many types of social media that many of us keep forgetting that a few influencers can help us much more than thousands of ordinary followers. Thanks for reminding us.
Twitter and other social media sites has great effect whether on rankings as searches are socially transforms or the increase in a website’s traffic. Great interview too, I guess most of the predictions will come true!
These are excellent points and details for social online engagement for this New Year. I still find Twitter to be helpful in a number of various ways. Thank you for the tips and info.
Looks like you did a great 2012 prediction now! Hopefully, that all of these predictions be fulfilled by you as always.

Strongly agree with you on the predictions for 2012. Social networking sites is the best way to influence people. I think twitter is the easiest way of making use of social networking sites to make people aware of the blogs they would like to read. All points in your post about how to influence people are perfect. Thanks for sharing it!

I am agree with you and also twitter is really very good as compared to fb in privacy.
Social networks really give a lot of influence to people. I guess I have to agree with you. Thanks for sharing this post.
I see twitter as a more valuable tool than facebook as many people are creeped out by the privacy issues.
Good info thanks:)

This is great post. I think Twitter will be a big thing yet again in 2012. Twitter brand pages are definitely poised to be a great thing for brands. Content for sure is going to get more bigger but then again quality content, content that creates value will be something that will still get the spotlight.

YouTube and Video Creation are going to be enormous online assets in 2012 as the internet molds into television and vice versa. User generated video content is going to have a big impact on brands.
I agree with these predictions, especially with blogger keywords.That would be a masive boost to all good blogs
Thanks for sharing this post. For people like us who run online businesses it becomes mandatory to know all these nitigrities. There were a few that I followed like commenting on blogs, but the Twitter interaction was not seen by me as a way. When it comes to business it is very important to be able to engage people and get them to visit your site or blog. Thanks again for the sharing and Happy New Years 2012.
The 2012 Predictions are pretty interesting. From them it seems that I should find a way to use more Twitter, only that when I have free time I usually search for keywords and write new articles or tweak old ones; and let’s not forget commenting on others’ blogs which is my preferred channel to interact on the net. But I think I should also find some fellow bloggers to cross promoting the blogs of each others.
Good hints, as usual. 🙂
