John Merrick

So for those of you who have known me for a while will know that I have been working tirelessly in the background for years building sites and making others look pretty, whilst also working a full time job.

Well What you may not know is that from 1st May 2009 I went full time online, that’s right I quit the 9-5 and now I’m now living the dream!

So in order to mark this momentous occasion I’m going to kill two birds with one stone – Brand good old John Merrick and to celebrate my entry into being full time online by launching my first solo site. So I’m proud to introduce you to Social Bookmarking Exposed

It’s no secret that Web 2.0 tactics such as Social Bookmarking, Social Networking and Tagging have taken the Internet by storm

This will lead to your website’s rankings skyrocketing in no time at all, and with very little effort on your part.

I have also updated the book to include and focus a little on the current Twitter craze and when you join the site you can grab a copy of my report on the “12 Secret Tips For Twitter Success” which is a detailed and easy to follow step-by-step guide on how to set up and use Twitter.

We recently noticed a change in the way Twitter was handling shortening links.
Some of you will have noticed that the links Tweet My
Blog posted to Twitter didn’t work.

We have fixed the issue and TweetMyBlog now shortens
the url before posting to Twitter. Everything is back
to normal and working just fine.

But… You need to update your Tweet My Blog plugin.

Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Log in at Tweet My Blog
=> http://tweetmyblog.com/login.php

Step 2: Go to “Downloads” and download a fresh copy
of TMB to your computer. Then unzip the file.

Step 3: upload the entire “tweetmyblog” folder to
your blog’s …/wp-content/plugins folder.

That’s it, you are good to go again!

Tweet My Blog was my second co-owned site with Søren Jordansen. It was designed to capture the emerging Twitter interest in the IM world and allow a way to post Tweet’s informing followers of new blog posts.

We have been using Twitter to drive traffic to our blogs for quite some time and it works like a charm. You simply post a “tweet” when you have updated your blog, and all you friends, followers and admirers will be instantly notified… *bang* that’s instant traffic back to your blog. And even better, people can reply to your tweet, their followers can see their reply… and before you know it you have a viral stream of traffic back to your blog.

Thats why we create the simple yet super powerful WordPress plugin that would automatically integrate with Twitter with your blog. You can see it running in my side bar —>
