The new year is fast approaching! Are you prepared to face 2013 with new and exciting SEO tactics? With the new year comes new tactics and updates. Don't get left behind by using outdated or bad SEO methods. We're going to discuss ten SEO tactics that have got to go this year.

First off, stop using automatic article generators. There are way better ways to build permanent back links. Also, most back links acquired through article sites such as EzineArticles are not the high quality links you want. Just like all other aspects of SEO, acquiring and maintaining high quality back links takes time and effort; don't take a shortcut. 

Everyone knows its important to to share information and get your name out there. However, publishing and posting just to do so (or to build links) is a waste of time and resources. It is better to post meaningful and engaging content less often than it is to constantly post irrelevant and useless information. Again, invest your time and effort into valuable content that will build quality links.

Expand your horizons! Many people get wrapped up in what's going on with Google and forget to check other sources and statistics. If you look at your analytics, you may notice that Google is not responsible for all of your traffic. You need to worry about other sites as well, not just Google.

Another mistake of some SEO tactics is ignoring design. Design has a huge impact on first impressions and affects how others view your business. You need to make an effort to create a functional website that users can navigate and enjoy. Hire either an in-house or third party designer and SEO strategist so they can help you create an optimized website that is functional and engaging to your customers. 

With the new year comes better SEO tactics. Are you ready? Hopefully, these tips will guide you to your success in 2013!

Have you started using Twitter yet? So many people fail to see the value of Twitter and are missing out on major opportunities for their businesses. Twitter offers numerous ways to interact with your customers and followers and also provides valuable information!

Let's discuss some ways to use Twitter to your advantage. 

First, Twitter is a great place for research! You can see the most up-to-date news about your industry. You can also find out what the current hot topics are in your industry. This information is valuable, because it helps you reach your followers and others in the same field. 

Twitter also allows you to feel out your competition. You can follow your competitors to see what they're tweeting about and how they're interacting with their customers and followers.

A great thing about Twitter is it allows you to share your own thoughts with others. If you have access to interesting and engaging articles or information, you can share them with your Twitter audience as well.
