Twi#er Power Tool

I was a big fan of TweetDeck but after using MarketMeTweet for one week straight, I don’t miss TweetDeck one bit.

It’s not just that TweetDeck’s been experiencing lots of “issues” lately, either.

The MarketMeTweet interface is VERY similar to that of TweetDeck, so I picked it up right away.

BUT the big selling point for me is this –

MarketMeTweet has a bunch of special features that TweetDeck just doesn’t have:

• It lets you manage your Twitter, Facebook and Ping.fm accounts at the same time, in one place
• Run sophisticated “reply campaigns” — if you’re promoting a product, service or cause, search for Twitter users who are talking about your topic, then send them (helpful) pre-written replies, alerting them to your “answer” to their problem
• Pre-schedule tweets and retweets over a year in advance

FINALLY:

The main reason I love MarketMeTweet is its ability to “brand” my tweets.

What does that mean?

If you look at any tweet, you’ll see a “via” phrase at the very end of the message. It tells followers you sent your tweet “via Tweetdeck” or “via” your iPhone.

Note that “via” phrase is a hyperlink; click on it and sure enough, you’ll be taken over to Tweetdeck or Twitter.com or HootSuite or whathaveyou.

What MarketMeTweet lets you do is “own” this hyperlink.

In a few easy steps, you set it up so that that “via” reads, for instance, “Via Your Name”.  Now when you click on that line, visitors will be sent to your blog or any other site of your choice.

See below:

Instead of “MarketMeTweet App”, your customized link will say what you want (think: keywords!) and link where you want it to (your main website.)

This not only helps drive traffic to your blog or website, it also increases the “Google juice” for the phrase “Your Name”, making it just that much more likely that, say, potential clients and employers will see what you want them see on Google’s page one search results for your name.

(Think about it. If you’re on the web, you’ve made enemies. Do you want their nasty posts about you showing up on page one? Every “trick” you can use to push those nasty posts to page two  — where only 10% of Google users ever bother to venture — is worth it..)

Now imagine using this MarketMeTweet “branding” feature to link to do other sites:

• your online resume/portfolio
• your candidate’s campaign page
• your product’s sales page
• the Amazon page for your new book…

No other Twitter app lets you own this precious little piece of Twitter “real estate.” Only MarketMeTweet.

I’ve used it for clients, not just for myself, and they’ve been pleased with the results in terms of visibility, response rates and “Google juice.”

Unlike TweetDeck, MarketMeTweet isn’t free, but obviously it boasts features other Twitter applications don’t have. For instance, with MarketMeTweet, you can also manage your Facebook pages!
