Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week. Don’t know if any of you have already heard about Sitizens before, but this site (just over a month old), has been popping my radar lately (on Google Analytics). I have been seeing some interesting number of referral traffic from this site, but quite frankly, I was not paying too much attention to it (high bounce rate), until Sherryl Perry of KeepUpWithTheWeb posted an article that mentions Sitizens as being her “top source of referral traffic” for a period of time.

Is it a viable source of traffic? What kind of quality does that traffic bring? Does it pay to advertise there? For now, all I have are questions, and hopefully, some of you may already have an experience with it, so fire away, and let us know about it. In any event, Sherryl’s article provides more insights about the “social gaming site”, where they (sitizens), says it is a place where you can “rule and explore the web”.

On a different front, have you ever “shared” something on Google+, only to find out that you were the last one to let people know about it? Would you want to be amongst the first to? If you do, here is a PRO tip from Louis Gray, that might help.

And more on Google+. Do you want to see your pages with more engagement? Recently, The Financial Times has found that images and videos have the highest engagement on their +page. In lieu of this interesting case study, Google officially shared a tip on how to make the most of the visual nature of the platform to help increase interaction with your content. Must admit, I have not tried doing it this way (yet), but no harm in trying, right?

Finally, SEO is not just about your own websites. It is also about dominating and managing your online reputation, your “personal SEO”. KissMetrics, on this post, shares 14 tips on how to go about how to Dominate Your Personal Brand On Google With This 14 Point Checklist.

As usual, in no particular order:
