FA Cup Final Tickets 2009 EFC v Chelsea

May 17th, 2009

It looks like even though I have been a season ticket holder with Everton since I was 8 years old that I havent been allocated a ticket for this years FA Cup Final.

Everton got 25109 tickets so I find it hard to believe that all the 28000 season ticket holders applied and therefore im gutted that my application hasnt been allocated a ticket yet.

So anyone who has tickets to sell in the Everton end I am in the market for them! (paul@seoidiot.com)

Twitter Brand Builder

May 4th, 2009

I am happy to announce the launch of a free tool from SEOidiot, Twitter Brand Builder.

Its a basic version of a tool I use for clients in house that allows them to build followers and manage their Twitter accounts quickly and easily.

I am today giving away the free version to anyone who wants to use it on the understanding that it will be used responsibly.

I like Twitter and I have no interest in allowing people to abuse them, this tool however allows you to get your clients a head start in learning and building up their Twitter account so they get some quick wins.

I am requiring people to give me their email and contact details before you will be sent the scripts but enough with the lecture and lets get started on showing you what she does!

Twitter Brand Builder

The tool was designed as a way for the busy marketing department at a client to grow a following quickly and easily without having to throw all their resource at it and is designed to get you started… Having said that they overdid it a little and grew from 200 to over 14,000 followers in 6 weeks.

I think thats a little extreme but shows what it can do.

The basic idea is to allow the system to add the followers of people who follow you and then remove anyone who doesnt follow back.

When you upload the script here is what you will see

You have options then to manage your settings, good place to start.

2009-05-04_2318

Put in your Username and password (Dont panic they only get stored in an xml file on your server they arent sent to me)

You can also change the number of times the script queries the Twitter API if you need to (Twitter often lower this when they have peaks of traffic and we want to play nice)

Now each time you run Add more followers it will magically add around 100 people to your account.

After a week or so you may want to unfollow some of the people who dont follow back so we have an option for that too.

“But what if I have people I want to follow even if they dont follow me back?”

We thought of that too :)

By choosing the Manage Whitelist option from the homepage you can simply and easily maintain a list of people that you will continue to follow no matter what: -

Sound good?

All you have to do to get this FREE version of our tool is give me your email and I will send it over as quickly as I can.

Sign up here

Once you sign up I will send the tool with full and easy instructions on how to get started (Dont worry it takes about 2 minutes to get started!)

Please do not abuse this tool or I will withdraw it. We also have a more powerful tool in house for building and managing multiple accounts across defined interest areas and offer advice and training to clients and agencies wishing to use Twitter as part of your marketing mix or community strategy.

Thanks

Paul
