Have you wanted to have a group on twitter but, they just do not have any way for you to tweet just a certain set of people.
If you have a business, special project, or even a family event that you would like to be able to send real time fast messages you can do it now.I have written an article featuring a fairly new site that you may not have heard of -
Set Up Private or Public Twitter Like GroupsYou can use this service for free, they do have upgrades if you need more space...
Be sure to set one up so, you can get your message to only those targeted people that really want to hear about a particular topic.

Bing is out and ready to roll!
Over at the Internet Marketers Guild we have started a discussion thread to share what we think of this new search Engine. I have been doing searches on BING for the last few days to see what it brings up in the SERP's for my keyword Phrases.
Will Microsoft's New BING Search Effect You?It's being stated as the new decision engine. It is suppose to help you make decisions.
I think what that means is they are being picky & only going to show you results from top trusted sites.
If that is the case then how do I make the decision that Microsoft has picked the best sites?
Will this really put a damper on those of us that are not a big brand name?
I'd just love to see something give Google a Kick in the Ass before they take over even more.

Do you have a Button, Badge, or Banner that you would like others to be able to easily place on their blogs?If you do the best way to help people out is by placing a copy and paste code right under the Button so, other bloggers can just copy and paste it right then. Many bloggers can not or will not take time to write out the code. But, while you have them in the mood make it a simple effort by adding a Code Retrieval Box right under the image.
I have 3 examples of this on my blog.
Resource Code Box for Banners, Badges, Buttons The code only takes a minute to do and could get you allot of links when others place your banner on their site.
Go ahead and make your Code Box so, others can help you advertise for free!

Are you a member of Facebook?
Do you have your blog listed?
If so do you have enough members to have it listed with the RSS Feed?
Ok, do you know how to list your blog on Facebook?
Who's on FaceBookIf you are not sure on any of this, I have a Post thread started to tell you how to list your blogs. We also have a list of blogs from a couple of members that we are helping each other get our quota so our RSS Feeds get loaded.
If you are not working with a tribe (team) you are going up against the 'Big Boys' that have their followers already built.

We have been having a discussion on The Internet Marketers Guild Forum about -
Sticky Links - links that have lasting power!Are the
backlinks you are working hard at getting, staying in place and still giving you hits?
I have some links that I placed in blog comments about a year ago that are still bringing me hits. I think there are a couple of reasons for this.
A. The article is prime for keywords that are still very useful.
B. It is a very popular site that has mass traffic sorting through the older post.

Oh you read the title right – the dog is blaming a kitten for tearing his family apart.
I know sounds crazy but, who knows how dogs take rejection.
I am sure there are cats out there that will not be happy with Zed’s post but, they may feel the same about a dog.
Zed does not seem to worried about letting his feelings known.
You can read more about his ‘doggy dysfunctional family’ over at his Dogs Accessories Blog
A Kitten is Tearing My Family Apart.
All I can say is dogs will be dogs. LOL!
Well this is a little rant I had about copy and paste 'bloggers'.
You know the ones that never write anything on their own, they just copy articles from other sites.
The biggest complaint is that then they expect you to help boost their post - ARGH!
So, stop over, give it a read, and let us know what you think. We have a few interesting comments already.
Could a Monkey Post Your BlogThanks! I will be coping and pasting this at other sites. LOL!

I wrote a post on my blog that tells a bit about how the Blog Co-Op
works and how members will benefit from being a part of the "tribe". Building your blog traffic and subscribers on your own is the old way.
Blog Co-Op at The Internet Marketers Guild
The post also has links so people can follow the Internet Marketers
Guild on Twitter and FriendFeed. This will make it easier for everyone to
see when new post are made, will help them get more exposure, and the
fast ones can get over to new blog articles and get the 1st comment
spot. LOL!
I will continue to add info as I can. If anyone has questions let me know!!

An abandoned & abused dog finds unconditional love that will live on long after she leaves her body behind to move on. Will make you believe that there are Guardian Angels for animals.
While spending the last night with our little dog Tomarra, I do believe these were her words. She truly wanted to stay with us but, could not hang on as she was so sick. There came a point when we could see in her eyes that she was ready to move on.
Never pass up the chance to love a "broken" pet that was turned away by others. They do not know what they missed.
A Last Letter to My Dearest Cait
She is missed so much.
