Although this article focusses on attracting visitors using Wordpress.com it is equally valid for normal sites created using wordpress or other blogging platforms

The points raised are simple but make great sense – we will certainly taking heed at bNetCentric

Started when I was delivering some workshops @ebizclub where we promoted a hash tag for delegates at our workshops to share experiences and feedback – this seemed a really good idea and we had loads of people interacting together

Then I discovered http://tagdef.com which is a great tool for looking up what hash tags to use and if nothing suitable exists then creating your own

It is a really good way to spread your message as lots of people browse twitter everyday

I have just added my own hash tags for new topics where I feel I have something useful to share

If you have not heard of Klout yet yet measures your influence online using data from your social networks. Anywhere you have an online presence, you have the opportunity to influence people by creating or sharing content that inspires actions such as likes, retweets, comments and more. The more engagement your posts receive, the more influential you are. Klout uses this information to provide you a Klout Score that measures your overall influence.

Unfortunately my social activity is currently spread between multiple accounts and Klout currently only lets me measure my activity on one account per platform so I am currently only scoring a fairly average 22

Going forward I think Klout is going to be quite a useful tool to help understand the effectiveness of my social media activity and help unlock new opportunities by using my influence to network for a new job, or get the chance to check out upcoming products and experiences for free

A couple of years back the team at bNetCentric decided to stop developing our own ecommerce systems and focus on becoming Magento experts.

2 years and 500 sites later we know this was the right decision and it is good to see that the market agrees with us, the more people that use the platform the more extension and designs will become available to help us build better websites for lower budgets

We now have our own bespoke install of Magento and quite a few of our own extensions for different applications – why not take a look at what we can offer by visiting our Magento ecommerce website standard packages page
