I’ve heard about Twitter for quite some time but it is only now that I decided to sign up for an account. After getting into the twitter stream, I realized that I should have joined it way back on the first day I heard about it but how could you blame me if all these social networking site invitations are starting to get to my nerves?
Well, what’s done is done and yet again, I should have joined twitter way back.
Ok, so back to the topic. How can twitter be used for search engine optimization? Think link baits. Twitter is not really an SEO tool as you won’t really get much out of it in SEO terms such as links and site optimization but if you use it properly and responsibly, people will start to follow you on twitter wanting to know what’s latest about you. In due time, you’ll start to see people reading your blog and might just link to some of your posts. Now that’s good for SEO isn’t it?
Now that I’ve told you my secret, would you still follow me on twitter? Well it’s really upto you. That’s the beauty of twitter. Aaron Wall calls it the exact opposite of email spam. You can follow who you want to follow and get rid of those whom you don’t want. Now that’s power and that’s why I said you have to use Twitter responsibly.
If you’re not twitter yet then you must join. You can find my Twitter page at http://twitter.com/mikelopez. You can sign-up there as well.
