- Twitter can be a boring waste of time, or a great way to build and enhance a profile, group of followers, online reputation, etc. It's been around long enough now to have an established track record as a useful social networking forum.

Not having months of serious Twitter experience I've been surprised at the superficiality of most tweets, and especially surprised at the kind of filler some people use...but whatever...

If you are looking for suggestions on how to leverage the "power" of Twitter for your marketing efforts, check out the resources listed here:

Guide to Twitter as a Tool for Marketing and PR, which includes links to resources like the Big Juicy Twitter Guide (Caroline Middlebrook), Newbies Guide to Twitter (Rafe Needleman) and many more.

Traffic: Optimizing Internal Pages

Usually, each page within your site should focus on a narrow sub-set of keywords, with one dominant keyword. For example, let’s say you are creating a site about "golden retriever puppies". If your research tells you that term gets good traffic, then that should be your primary keyword for your home page.

So let's say one of your secondary pages is about "buying a golden retriever puppy". So "buying a golden retriever puppy" should be your primary keyword for that specific page. Your page should also contain other closely related keywords such as "golden retriever puppy habits", "golden retriever puppy behavior", "golden retriever puppy pricing", and so on.

House Prices Continue Rising More than Expected According to to a report by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight home prices in the US continued to rise in the 1st quarter of 2006. But the increase was slower than in the last quarter of 2005.

Across the U.S., home prices were 12.5 percent higher than in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in the same period a year earlier had been 13.3 percent.

The typical home's value, though, rose only 2 percent in the first three months of 2006, an annual rate of 8.1 percent. That is about a percentage point below the rate from the fourth quarter of 2005 and the lowest quarterly rate of increase since the first quarter of 2004.

The states with that lead the price increase parade for the past 12 months were: Arizona - 32.81%, Florida - 26.62%, Hawaii - 24.99%, Oregon - 20.96%, DC - 20.84%, Maryland - 20.47%, Idaho - 20.31%, Washington - 19.37% and California - 19.2%.

South Dakota and Iowa actually saw price decreases in the 1st quarter of 2006.

The slowest price increase states for the last year were: Michigan - 2.86%, Ohio - 3.26%, Indiana - 4.18%, Nebraska - 4.45%, Kansas - 4.47%, Iowa - 4.75%, Colorado - 5.10%, Kentucky - 5.53%, Texas - 5.93%
Also, for the first time since late 2002, average home prices fell for the quarter in two states, Iowa and South Dakota.

According to James B. Lockhart III, acting director of OFHEO, the 1st quarter data "... show average housing prices still growing stronger than some might have expected. They do indicate, however, that price growth is moderating in some parts of the country, particularly in areas where prices have been rising the most."
