You can even buy more followers which is a tad ridiculous. Many of these guides suggest that one should follow the same number of people that follow you. If a twitter user actually reads or follows what people tweet, surely it's impractical to follow more than 100 active users? Hell, even when following 100 people it's difficult to keep up!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Galen Schultz</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jul 2011 05:12:37 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Part 1: SEO tips on things to do for your website</title><link>http://www.blog.wsioms.co.za/part-1-seo-tips-on-things-to-do-for-your-website/#comment-262943440</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;very solid SEO tips given in this article. &lt;br&gt;Big thumbs-up to the author!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ruditrip</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 24 Jul 2011 14:52:47 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Common writing mistakes</title><link>http://www.blog.wsioms.co.za/common-writing-mistakes/#comment-252645997</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I think simple and state forward  writing is always encourage by readers and they can understand well, and when you understand what you want to say then obviously they will visit back.
