Twitter tricks and tips for SEO
Just this a few days ago Scott Cowley from SEO.com mentioned a technique that I used in my most recent blog post, Will Bing.com change the face of search? The tactic that Scott referred to was how I targeted certain individuals who I knew would take interest in that particular post using a direct message with a link on Twitter.
There are several different Twitter techniques that can be successful…if used properly. I’ve compiled a few of them below for all to see.
Twitter Tip #1:
Be a good Twitter citizen. Don’t spam people with dumb links to things they probably don’t care about anyway.
Ok…now that we’ve gotten that one out of the way…now we can learn. LOL
Twitter Tip #2:
Connect with people on Twitter that share the same interests as you. A lot of times you may get requests from Twitter Spammers, or as some call them, Twammers…..BLOCK THEM….hopefully eventually they may disappear.
Twitter Tip #3:
Be courteous enough to retweet (or “RT”) other people’s blogs, websites, press releases. This will help your posts out in the long run as well and you will begin to see other tweets about your information as well.
Twitter Tip #4:
Add a retweet button to your blog. This will allow an easy avenue for those reading your blog posts to tweet your post easier than copying and pasting your url…which is always too long, so they end up having to shorten the url, which is just too much work.
Useful Plugins: Wordpress, Blogger
Twitter Tip #5:
Remember that Twitter is a Social Media site, where you are supposed to be meeting and networking with similar individuals…not just posting links without interaction. This is where your Twitterank drops…and people just stop liking you. The more you are liked…the more will follow.

Great post, Jacob. I’d like to add something I just discovered about Twitter. You’ll notice that some people seem to be extremely good friends with eachother on Twitter and tend to retweet eachother and market eachother – the kind of friends we all wish we had (and should try to be). These great friendships may have started on Twitter, but in almost all cases, they are made concrete through real-life meetings. Using opportunities to attend social media events is a huge way to turn followers into friends and advocates. Look to see if there’s a Social Media Club chapter in your city, as that’s a great (and usually free) way to start.

Whenever possible, use your important keywords in the tweets. This too will help in your SEO efforts, as these tweets become ’searchable’ for those keywords
