We've discussed Twitter's usefulness for brand promotion and marketing once before, and at that time, admitted it was a hit-or-miss tool.  But now, the odds of succeeding in this enterprise are much improved, as Twitter seems to have gotten on Google's good side.

Ever hear of the Yahoo Directory?  In a boiled-down sense, it provides both publicity and an SEO boost from what experts consider a very reliable source.  And recent reports indicate that those benefits are starting to come at a very reasonable price.

To be honest, the marketing tactics we’re going to discuss today are almost too obvious to be worth mentioning, and they’re likely to annoy a lot of people, too.  But many important companies will be adopting the approaches, so, at least for the sake of keeping everyone well-informed, here we go.  Think “big and unavoidable.”
