Twitter Is Good For Seo

Today, I noticed that my Twitter mini-blog had a page rank of 3/10.

What is really amazing is that I did absolutely nothing to promote it. My conclusion to this it that Twitter helps for rankings, and it can even help those who want to be indexed fast since it had Google love.

Good to know.

  • Interesting, are you getting any traffic from it? I noticed that I get a trickle of traffic just from my twitter profile.

    • Yes Tom, I get some traffic. Not a lot, but it's good. I even made an affiliate sale just with a twit.

      It's amazing, but twitter also rank in search engines (Google) for the username (keyword) you chose.

      This add up to the traffic as well.

  • I get a ton of traffic from my Twitter account about 2k uniques a month and It's a PR 4 too... (not that PR matters) or for that matter that traffic matters... the demographic is what matters - and they're all definitely on Twitter

  • Wow, that's great, I know twitter gives quite amount of traffic just from twitter profiles but it really affects PR also.

    Do you mind to share the link to your mini-blog please? thank you.

    • My tracking logs show that Twitter is currently my second highest source of traffic and I've only been using it a week. I already have almost 1,000 followers and the whole thing seems to be snowballing with many new people following me everyday.

      You simply can't ignore Twitter as a traffic source, but you must be very subtle in the way you use it - no out and out marketing.

      Be successful,

      Jeff.

  • Sorry to rain on the SEO parade guys but I disagree that Twitter has any direct SEO benefits for your sites because the links posted on there are "nofollow". Twitter is great for connecting with like minded individuals and all the other stuff that goes with the platform, but it's not going to help any of your sites rank as it doesn't pass any juice from the links.

    • thats true but its a good way to get your blog posts, article posts etc indexed quickly as the google spiders follows all the tweets. So use it whenever you update your blog etc.... i.e. new blog post Example Web Page
  • I meant pen name... they mean the same thing!
    For example the client is RC Boca Hobbies - Radio Controlled Cars, Trucks, Boats, Planes and Helicopters and I use RCBoca as my twitter name

  • I am probably missing on a lot of things with twitter as I only post the 140 bits and that's it.

  • Yes, I haven't got the hang of it either... I use it to keep up with interesting new design related posts...
  • Sounds cool. I need to learn using Twitter in good ways now.
  • I am new to twitter. Can you please tell me how to get traffic to your site form twitter.
  • Build up your followers. Best if they are targeted. You can do that by going to wefollow.com and selecting someone popular in the niche you want to target, then start following their followers a lot of these people will follow you back.

    Every couple of days remove the people who don't follow you back using Huitter.com/mutuality - Twitter cheats, tweaks, tools and then start following more.

    Everytime you post a blog post, make sure its sent to twitter. If you use wordpress there is a plugin that does this automatically. There is also a plugin for Live Writer which you can use.

    As long as your followers are targeted to your niche and you have a decent amount of followers over 2K you should get a decent amount of traffic from these tweets.

    • Be one with the Twitterness.

      For those of you that don't get it yet.. just dig in. Read everything you can about it and start using it. There are a lot of details that aren't immediately obvious if you just stare at the home page and post 140 characters here and there..

      ..there are tools that can help you break down the conversations and build tight groups of people to interact with for different reasons. You can track topic level conversations by keyword.

      Use it to build your brand, connect with your customers, clients, members.. drive more traffic and make more sales.

      Use it to drive traffic to your blogs, articles, squeeze pages..

      I even use it when I have a question on a topic and I am seeking a quick answer about something. There is a way to get that markets attention by using hash marks.. and post your questions; the answers often come... so it has value that is hard to put a price on.

      Use those same hash marks to draw more attention to your tweets.

      It will click once you get past looking at the surface and dig in.
  • Great to see you on here Neo Blog!
  • Twitter can be a nice source of traffic and makes it easy to do relationship type marketing, but just watch, in a couple years, people will have moved on from it. Just like people started with Friendster, then Myspace became the big thing, then Facebook, now Twitter... it won't be long until the next big thing comes along and everyone rushes over there. Not saying thats good or bad, but just that it's the "trendy" thing right now and trends don't tend to last.

    Also, I agree with the guy that said Twitter links don't count as backlinks for SEO purposes, since they are all nofollow.
  • Great guys! How many followers you have to get 2k unique per month?

    • Would love to see some postings on twitter recommended learning products.

      There are some on Clickbank and some cheap ones on master resale rights. If you have some recommend posts, please post without a affiliate link, then we know your just trying to help.

      Thanks!
  • I do not have much followers but i like twitter because its fast way to tell other what you are doing and also twitter help to indexed fast in google. Twitter is growing every year look like everyone will have twitter account in future.

    Twitter = no follow says Google. Remember test everything!, and believe half of what your hear and nothing that I say.

    Anyway as an SEO Master on Mondays, I say the purpose of SEO is traffic so who cares if twitter is good for SEO it is good for traffic and in the end that's all SEO is good for.
  • I use Twitter for indexing new pages. Because of the crawl frequency, it happens fast. Also, I get about a 6% conversion rate with my Twitter profiles.

  • Any specifics how you get to this? I have long used twitter and my PR with my profile page is still 0. I have hundreds of updates if that matters...

    • Actually, I did nothing.

      I guess that following people with a high page rank should add to your own page. Who knows.

    • I agree with the consensus, Twitter conceptually is a great tool for SEO. You have to work it just like anything else, but the potential is unbelievable.
  • I'm just starting out.....so many thanks for the Twitter info. It's obviously a great way to get unique visitors.
  • It is really amazing. But I don't know any thing about Twitter. How can I learn it. Any reference please.:confused:

    • Just go to Twitter and ask people there, start communicate with people.

      and you also have many tools on this thread, just look at people sig files, etc...

      But before you start, I hope you have something to offer in the first place?

      Because making money comes down to: Market + Product + Traffic + Conversion

      If one of them is missing, don't start with twitter yet.
