Twitter Magic and SEO

What is more is that Twitter.com gets indexed like any other website would. But, it gets even better! Your website will get much quicker attention should you link to them from within your tweets. Unfortunately, there is a downside to this. Unknown to you some of your competitors might follow you too which will enable them to see what products or services you are displaying.

For this reason, you want to have a separate Twitter account with no followers so that you can bring your websites under the attention of the Search Engines for your business to benefit from SEO benefits. Ensure that the tweets you post contain your URL and some targeted keywords around it. You should take care to write as naturally as possible as that is what the Search Engines will be looking for from Twitter.

In doing this you take advantage of LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) that would look for a related keyword around the link you posted. At the end of the day you want to make money with Twitter so your ultimate mission should be to build your list of followers and direct them to your blog or site where you can eventually monetize your list.

Twitter is therefore seen as a social marketing platform that takes a subtle approach to marketing. You cannot make use of aggressive marketing like you would if you were making use of a landing page or squeeze page. Business people have a good chance of being successful when they are active on Twitter, tweet daily, maintain a professional approach, and ensure that at least 80% of their tweets are related to their Niche.
