Kansas City SEO and SEM

My twitter account created in 2009 was suspended for what? I still don’t know exactly, but it’s been a week and I’m trying to figure things out. I’ve been digging for the Twitter email which was sent regarding my account suspension and I never received it, but today I received my notification one of my support tickets was closed (1703739).

I painfully wrote three support tickets to Twitter asking for my personal Twitter account @AnneHaynes to be reinstated and am still waiting to see the Twitter verdict. If you read this, please shout out to @Twitter please bring @AnneHaynes back!

Let’s call this what it is; I was using automated services to eliminate the people I’ve followed who’ve not followed me back in 2 years. I don’t have time to visit each account and find out if they are following me back. I remember when Twitter had just launched and Danny Sullivan said on Webmaster Radio, the goal is to follow a lot of people, so you’re able to gather more information (paraphrasing). And I agree with this logic, but this was pre-traditional media and Hollywood even knowing what Twitter was at the time. Today, I see a ratio factor “people you follow : to people following you” and it makes sense to scrub your Twitter account. I see a similar ratio with Linkedin; I know 85% of the people I’m Linkedin with 500+ and I have 31 recommendations. I frequently receive requests to Linkin and I always view the “Connections : Recommendations” as an indicator of a solid professional network. I witnessed introducing Linkedin to a client (in sales) and within a month the guy had over 500+ Connections, but how about the Recommendations???

Integrity is built into social media and it starts with transparency. You can’t go from 0-100 without some indicators flagging your account as a robot. With this said, @AnneHaynes is a robot in Twitter’s eyes at the moment. If you want to help save me, please tweet, post or make some noise anywhere on the net stating; @twitter save @annehaynes – I would really really appreciate any help at this point!

I’ve been telling my clients and friends, you knew you were an SEO when your “test” website was banned, so in the spirit of an SEO, maybe I’m now an SMO.

It appears many others are finding out their Twitter accounts have become suspended.

Go here if your Twitter account has been suspended, don’t send a bunch of support tickets, just follow-up with your original ticket.

It’s amazing what’s about to happen to Kansas City and I have goose bumps every time I view and view again the Youtube video with Google executives and Kansas City State Council speaking about the prosperity in the works. Thanks to Google this change has the potential to positively and immediately affect the citizens of the Kansas City Metro.

This is the first blog post of several to follow in a series. As I research and study, I will share my knowledge and know, it’s important to call me on my logic or information I share in my series. I’m more of a technologist than a politician. Politics is a bunch of behind the scenes back and forth which is designed to make citizens dig and study in their spare time. Let it be known I don’t have a bunch of spare time to dig into the political drama. I want facts not opinion, so technology is more my thing than he said, she said.

I love the below video and it makes me proud to have relocated to a place where Google is literally digging roots!!!
