You’ll notice that keyword research didn’t make that list but all the efforts with the fun stuff will be wasted without it. The importance of keyword research, however mundane it may be, cannot be understated. Done correctly, it will be one of the critical &lt;A href="#" class="kLink" target="undefined" id="KonaLink2"&gt;&lt;FONT color="blue"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="kLink"&gt;building &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="kLink"&gt;blocks&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; of your business. Do your keyword research using shortcuts and assumptions and your &lt;A href="#" class="kLink" target="undefined" id="KonaLink3"&gt;&lt;FONT color="blue"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="kLink"&gt;internet&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; strategy will never reach fruition.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Gervais Group LLC - &lt;A class="ApplyClass" href="http://www.gervaisgroupllc.com"&gt;SEO Company&lt;/A&gt; - (770)-529-2262&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;

The report says that 19% of internet users say they use Twitter or another service to share updates&lt;BR /&gt;
about themselves, or to see updates about others. When Pew surveyed the group in April of this year and in December 2008, 11% of internet users said they use a status-update service. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Updating status online is a learned behavior for most internet users. It’s not something users tend to do naturally but these statistics shows that people are increasingly looking to Twitter, Facebook and other sites to update their status, which is definitely noteworthy. The full report is embedded below. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.techcrunch.com/page/7/</clipSource><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:19:05 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>MARKIT Group Social Media Mobile Tips</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/C7B5AE83-8E9C-4301-BDBC-6B54351A25FA/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/nanstarr/"&gt;nanstarr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  Great Article for social media iphone productivity tools.   &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.iphoneness.com/iphone-apps/133-killer-social-media-apps-for-iphone/" title="http://www.iphoneness.com/iphone-apps/133-killer-social-media-apps-for-iphone/"&gt;www.iphoneness.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;The field of social media has exploded in the past few months and everybody is on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, and tens of other social networking sites.
