Microsoft is going to be at BlogHer12 and I can’t wait to stop by their booth and say hello to them. Plus my Sponsor to EVO was Microsoft. I loved going to EVO and plan on going there next year as well. Why? Because it was an awesome event with so many different family friendly events. I was only able to attend one of the break out sessions because I had my kids with me but the suites were amazing.
I did learn a few things through tweets though, like what’s big in increasing traffic to your site. Here are three things you need to be doing:
You should be using StumbleUpon
So many people are using SU that it’s the place you need to be. You never know when something is going to take off like wildfire and give you a huge push in traffic.
You should be using Pinterest
Pinterest is just as big as stumbleupon. It’s good to put your posts on pinterest in the afternoon when many people are looking for dinner and have some free time to just surf the boards.
You should be using Google +
I hate google + it’s just not where everyone is yet, but it is where google is. Since they control your search worth on google you need to use it. They say that it’s going to affect your search rank.
Which ones of these can you do on your Windows Phone?
ALL OF THEM
Pinspiration and Pinspiration Pro
Pinspiration is the best way to browse and post to Pinterest on your Windows phone. Think of Pinterest as a virtual pinboard — a place to catalog and share the things you love. You don’t need to have a Pinterest account to browse and share the amazing photos being posted here every day. Pinterest users can login to keep up with their stream then pin, like and repin photos to their heart’s content. The application also has Live Tile which rotates through the most popular pictures currently being shared. Pin your favoriite pinners to start to see their latest pins as a Live Tile as well. Free version has ads and refreshing Pinners You Follow list is throttled. Buy the app to remove ads and unlock ability to get up-to-the-minute updates from Pinners You Follow.
This App launches Google+ from the mobile site; The bonus for this is having an App which u can quickly launch and share whats on ur mind with the public or friends in ur circles. As soon as a google+ Api is available, i will upgrade ther user operatability.
I found a StumbleUpon app for Windows phone but it’s not in the Microsoft Marketplace so be careful downloading any apps that aren’t in the marketplace.
