4 Reasons to Promote Your Blog on Facebook and Twitter

This may come as a surprise but a lot of people hesitate when it comes to blog promotion on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes it?s because they don?t want certain people to know about their blog, other times it?s because they don?t want to look like they?re spamming up their friends and followers feeds, and sometimes it just comes down to the fact that they don?t know how or even realize that they should be doing so. However not using Facebook and Twitter for your blog promotion is a massive mistake. Here are four reasons you need to use Facebook and Twitter for marketing your blog:

1. More exposure: It?s pretty simple really. You post your latest blog posts on Facebook and Twitter and more people are going to click on the link to read them. You can?t leave all of it to chance and people finding you through search engines because, unless you?re a mastermind with keywords and SEO, increased traffic just isn?t going to happen as quickly as when you?re promoting on these two sites.
2. New connections: Having a social media site to promote your blog gives you the opportunity to form new connections with readers and bloggers alike. You are able to interact with them in a way that your blog on its own doesn?t afford, which deepens the relationship and gives you a more loyal audience. Both of these are vital to the success of your blog.
3. Better search engine indexing: Tweeting out links to your new posts or sharing the links on Facebook means that your posts are in more places around the web. The more places there are linking to your posts, the more likely it is that the major search engines like Google or Yahoo are going to index your posts. Better indexing means more people finding your blog through searches. More people finding your blog equal more traffic. It?s an all-around win.
4. Both offer unique audiences: It?s unlikely that you have the exact same audience on both your Facebook and Twitter accounts, so promoting your blog in both places means that it will reach more people. Because Twitter allows you to include hashtags, you are going to reach a broader audience that extends past people that are already following you. And because people can share posts they like on Facebook it opens up the door for new people finding your blog all the time. Facebook and Twitter are two of the biggest social media websites available. Not taking advantage of them for promoting your blog is just passing up a free opportunity to reach more people. So use it! You?re only hurting your blog by not.

Filing a crop insurance claim ? Arkansas Row Crops

By Harrison M. Pittman, Director-National Ag Law Center, on May 25th, 2012

Federal crop insurance is an important risk management tool for farmers throughout the United States, and an expanded federal crop insurance program may replace many of the traditional ?safety net? farm programs that are of great economic significance to agricultural producers in the southeastern U.S.

As such, federal crop insurance appears to have emerged as a mainstay of farm risk management and future farm policy for directly affecting agricultural producers. Once a loss occurs, farmers may have difficulty navigating the claims process, especially given some of the complexities associated with crop insurance policies.

The National Agricultural Law Center has published an article, Filing a Crop Insurance Claim: An Overview for Producers, that provides information on some of the legal and other issues a producer should consider in handling a loss claim under the federal crop insurance program. The article is authored by Grant Ballard, National Agricultural Law Research Center Research Consultant and associate with the Banks Law Firm, PLLC.

Google, Facebook Spent Record Amounts On D.C. Lobbying In Q1 2012

FacebookMore dollars were poured into the Beltway from technology companies in the first quarter of 2012. As shown through previous lobbying spends, each quarter, Facebook and Google continue to spend more and more on lobbying efforts in Washington D.C. In the most recent disclosure reports filed in the U.S. Senate?s lobbying database, both of the companies hit all time highs in terms of lobbying dollars. Google?s lobbying spend hit an all-time high again this quarter, with spending coming in at a whopping $5.03 million, tripling its spend from the same period a year ago. Last quarter, Google spent $3.76 million on lawmakers. Microsoft only spent $1.8 million on lobbying for the quarter. In 2011, Google spent $9.7 million on lobbying, and has already surpassed half of that spend in this past quarter alone.

Ask Engadget: best sub-$150 mechanical keyboard?

Image

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is coming to us from Andrew, who wants to get a proper keyboard, for doing serious business on. If you're looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"Hi, I'm thinking about getting a mechanical keyboard for my desktop. I'm a student so I'll need to do a bunch of word-processing and also moderate FPS gaming in the downtime. I've got a budget of $150 and prefer Cherry MX Blue and Brown switches, do you have any suggestions?"

No "thank you?" Man, the kids of today. Anyway, it's a weird coincidence because we've also been pondering swapping out our chiclet daily-driver for something more serious. We played with Matias' One at CES, while Andrew himself has one eye on the Razer Blackwidow or the Das Model S Pro / Stealth. But that's us, what we want to know is what y'all out there are using when it comes to properly made keyboards -- stick your comments below and let's get this doing done.

Ask Engadget: best sub-$150 mechanical keyboard? originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 21 Apr 2012 23:20:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
