Those of you who follow me on Twitter for Brad Hodges Enterprises will notice a lot of “tweets” that have to do with health topics. Health and Wellness are a major focus for our company with a particular slant on Women’s health.

We have various blogs on health related topics that range from Alternative Medicine to Skin Care and I have set up the blogs to update with tweets whenever a new post is made. This allows those who follow us to see the mini headline topics of the blog post and they can then in turn, choose to click the links and view the entire post.

For our Article Directory Twitter account it is much more focused. Each day a new tweet is posted directly in Twitter providing a tip or product recommendation that only pertains to Article Marketing, Writing and Publishing. In addition we have a blog that is solely dedicated to providing updates, tips and articles that can help our authors or anyone else interested in article writing and any new posts on the blog are sent in a mini post directly to Twitter.

By structuring our communication in the above manner we feel we can best serve our customers and keep them well informed about our products and services.

Twitter has become a quite a “gadget” phenomenon on the Internet but if used properly and not abused,  it is an effective way for an individual to “enhance” their communication channels rather than be a sole means of communication, which it would not be effective for, in my opinion.

I have not had much time lately to post on our blog as you can see! We have been focusing all our attention lately on our new article directory at http://ArticleStorehouse.com!

It is not easy launching a new site then doing all the things one needs to do to generate traffic to it but we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, at least as far as getting all the pieces in place.

In addition there are a number of new sites and projects that are on the boards and getting backed up but we are steely eye focused to get it all done so stay tuned as things unfold.

It is no secret, or maybe it is, that in the world of Internet Marketing one of THE best ways to get traffic for your website and business is to write quality articles on topics that relate to your niche, business or passion and then submit them to article submission sites which can get you massive exposure. This exposure comes in the way of your article being published and indexed in the search engines, so if someone is searching for say; “the best place to go wine tasting in the Livermore Valley wine country, California,” and you just happened to have written an article for that very topic because you own a winery in the Livermore Valley Wine Country, and you also have a fancy Flash website for your winery, your article will show up in the search engines and your happy future customer just found you because of it!

In addition if Leslie Wine Reviewer has a blog on quality wine and wineries and is searching for a quality article on wineries in The Livermore Valley Wine Country for her weekly blog post, and she goes to her favorite article publishing website and does a search for this topic, up pops your article, which she promptly publishes on her blog giving you and your wonderful winery more massive exposure when her blog post goes out to the thousands of wine lovers that subscribe to it and they see all the information on your winery; including the physical address, your website address, phone number, etc. in the credit section of the article and immediately plan to visit you this very weekend! Get the picture?

Article writing is king when it comes to getting your word out and the search engines love quality content.  In addition if you are searching for quality content for your own blog or website you will find that content for virtually any subject or topic you can think of on the article sites and the only cavaet is that you give credit to the author of the article by including an “Author Resource Box” which is usually provided by the author.

We know how important this is at Brad Hodges Enterprises, trust me. We are also aware of how important it is that you find a top quality article publishing and distribution website that provides carefully screened prime article content because anyone can throw up a website and a few well circulated articles and call it an article publishing site.

With all this in mind we have just launched our own such quality article site at: http://ArticleStorehouse.com. If you are a writer we are looking to publish your quality articles on hundreds of topics from Arts to Writing and everything in between. If you are seeking quality content for your blog or website on a vast array of topics we have that!  Please visit our site and check it out!

Okay we have built a lot of web sites for Brad Hodges Enterprises but I don’t think I have been this excited about building a web site as I am about our new travel web site at http://YourGlobalGateway.com!

Who couldn’t use or want to take a tropical vacation? Even with our economy still in shambles we all need a break and last time I looked vacations remain a major part of life.

This new web site puts it all together. The site includes an online store catered to everything travel to a page solely dedicated to travel destination videos. The HIGHLIGHT however is our travel comparison page where you can view firsthand (complete with beautiful photographs) the unbelievable luxury travel discounts available through our travel membership. You can also view a free video detailing everything you would want to know about this incredible membership. Just complete the short (very) form on the Travel Comparison page for protected access.

Now go work on your tan!

It suddenly hit me I have not been able to write any updates to our blog this month and tomorrow is March 1! How can it be that at the end of March we will be 1/3 through 2009 already? WHERE DOES TIME GO? One reason for the lack of posting is I have been very busy with some new projects for our company. We released two additions in February to our growing family. One a completely restructured blog and the other a new site for the tools of our Internet Marketing trade.

Writing has always been a passion as well as a business for me so while it is not exactly new, it was with great pride that we completely gave a face-lift to a blog that has been around for about a year called Best Writing Sources. It is completely dedicated to writers and writing and is one of my pet project web sites. Check it out if you are into anything writing at www.BestWritingSources.com.

Software is the backroom machinery to any Internet endeavor. For a long time I have searched for a way to bring all the best software on the Internet into one glorious location so one does not have to seek out via the search engines for all the various products to meet their needs. Through a collaboration of luck, timing and finally finding someone who understand that simplicity and ease are king, we released our new software site called My Web Biz Software at www.MyWebBizSoftware.com and it is an Internet Marketers dream and a veritable Disneyland for software technophiles. You will find any software you can imagine to start, maintain or enhance your Internet business or presence.

Well that’s a quick update for February. Now it’s onto another month and more projects. Please check out our most recent additions and let us know what you think by posting a comment here.

Cheers,

Brad Hodges
