Twitter is an online social networking service that allows users to send and read short 140-character text messages, called tweets. Registered users and read and post tweets but unregistered users are only able to read publicly available posts.

Web Spam is defined as: "Irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the Internet, typically to large numbers of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc."
The best way to define social media is to break it down. Media is an instrument of communication, like a newspaper or television advertisement, social media would then be through the use of a social medium to promote communication. In online terms, social media would generally be a website or application that not only offers you information but interacts with you. This interaction could be as simple as requesting a comment or a vote on an article, or can be as complex making recommendations to you based on previous interaction or popularity based on other users with similar interests.

We have covered many aspects of paid search over course of this month however most of the points covered have been focused on the cost-per-click model and primarily in the form of Google AdWords.
Every time someone searches on Google, AdWords runs an auction to determine which of the ads will show on the search results page, and their rank on the page. In order to place your ads in this auction, you first have to choose how much you'd like to bid. The most commonly used bidding strategy is the cost per click bidding option, which means they only accrue costs based on the clicks that the ads generate.
AdWords (also referred to as "Google AdWords") is a paid search advertising service by Google for businesses or organisations wanting to display ads on Google and its advertising network. The AdWords program enables these businesses and organisations to set a budget for advertising and only pay when people click the ads.
Paid search marketing means you advertise within the sponsored listings of a search engine or a partner site by paying either each time your ad is clicked (pay-per-click - PPC) or less commonly, when your ad is displayed (cost-per-impression - CPM).
I often hear people quote hits as a measurement of website traffic or popularity. This however can be a misleading statistic as many might not understand the difference between a hit a visitor or a view.
