Thread: Is twitter good for SEO?

Anyone Answer this Question please.

I keep seeing this everywhere. But Twitter scares me.
I have no idea how it all works to be honest. But for my field I think it's irrelevant anyway. I doubt I'd get very far advertising an adult shop on Twitter. lol

Conran, mate, take a look at this example:
It scares you or not, this has a presence on Twitter and what the heck, lots of followers also. :)

I was to use twitter a lot for genuine contact but currently more than good users, there are lots of spammers left behind and just because of that i don't even feel like going there. Apart from that if twitter takes some good action against spammers and people who are automation applications then it can again be a good place to be regularly visited.

Yes, Twitter is good for SEO. If your Twitter tweets are popular, their popularity will definitely affect the Google search rankings of the sites you link to from your tweets. There are lots of places those tweets show up, like blogs and those sites drop the nofollow tag. When you tweet, it goes into various sites and transmits authority back to the sites you link to. Twitter’s SEO value kicks in when your tweets are syndicated out to blogs via Google Gadgets or get picked up by sites like Topsy that aggregate popular tweets. These sites often drop the nofollow tag from the links in your tweets, and that is when Google’s search algorithm starts to pay attention to them.

Yes, Tweets and retweets can help you more than anything else like only concentrating on links coming from Twitter. It will not have any effect.

twitter helps in increasing the traffic for your site and creates the brandness.

If you are serious about search engine marketing (SEM) as an essential part of your SEO Twitter is vital, though, time-consuming and yep, even a little scary.

Here's a brief overview of how it works:
1. Twitter is now indexed by Google as part of their real-time web indexing effort and, as such, Twitter posts appear within minutes in the main Google Index and are available to searchers in the organic search results. This means that if you have something breaking and it's important (like a sale for instance, or a piece of news) you can make it global in minutes.

2. Provided you have followers your Twitter posts get re-Twitted and have the potential to give you massive exposure with a single post.

3. Twitter posts are picked up by Bloggers and talked about - you have the potential, with a good Twit to make the Blogosphere glow red hot.

How you manage to do all this of course is what SEO and SEM are all about. :)

I think US president Obama has been active on twitter when the time of his campaign to become more closer on what hes doing, at the same time to become updated. Though, It looks twitter good only in america for its functionality is useless outside the US.

Twitter is the social networking site and it is really helpful in the SEO. As it helps to increase the traffic of web site. As it can also helsp to promote your site on the search engmines like Google.
