Hellotxt Wordpress and TwitterFeeds a bloggers dream

Using Twitterfeed and wordpress to update all your Hellotxt social media accounts

As your probably aware Im off on vacation for a week - So I thought I would get this posted real quick as ive updated the Internet Marketing Software Suite to work with Hellotxt - so now it will work with Ping.fm, Pixelpipe, Onlywire and now Hellotxt



Wordpress when used with Hellotxt can and will not only provide SEO benefits but also great targeted traffic - not to forget the followers you will gain -If you havnt seen how we can also use Ping.fm and Pixelpipe with a wordpress plugin then please take a look at the following url  Pixelpipe Wordpress Plugin



So here go's a quick explanation of how to set things up - I will also try to get things automated on my return to make it more hands free



Things you will need



TwitterFeed -

Wordpress Blog

Hellotxt account (with social sites linked to it)





WhyTwitterfeed?



We will be using Twitterfeed to send our blog post to from our wordpress blog - Our Hellotxt account will be linked to twitterfeed which will send our blog post to it and the linked sites.



Step by step instructions



Signup to http://twitterfeed.com - When you have entered your details - you will be taken to



Step 1: Name Feed & Add Source URL



So name your feed whatever you like - Eg: BigSEO



Then enter your wordpress blog rss feed - eg: http://www.bigseotechniques.com/blog/feed/rss/



Hint - Click test feed to ensure its ok



Click the advanced settings towards the bottom to ensure your happy with everything - You will however want to make sure that the url shortner is a 301 redirect and not a 302 -

To the general user there isnt much difference between a 301 and 302 redirect service because they both redirect to your chosen location-

On the other hand for us there is a major difference - we need to ensure we use a 301 redirect service as this tells the search engines that the redirect is permanent which will then make the search engines give credit and link juice to your site - If your unsure do a google search on the url - I think bit.ly is a 301 redirect and good to use.



Click continue to step 2



You will now be taken to



Step 2: Configure Publishing Services



You will see 4 available services you can configure with hellotxt being one of them



Click on hellotxt



It will now ask you to authenticate your hellotxt account service - It asks you for your hellotxt API user_key -



Login to your hellotxt account then go to http://hellotxt.com/settings/api/twitterfeed  - Click on Enable this application



Wait a few moments - and you will be given a User_Key - it will look something like the following 6Q5n4WNDAY



Copy and paste this key into your Twitterfeed account where it asks you to enter the hellotxt API user_key



Click - get available service



Click on default from the drop down menu and then create service -



Your now done - Each time you update your wordpress blog - The post will be sent to Twitterfeed which will then send it to Hellotxt which of course sends it to all the social sites you have linked to it :-)
