I was just wondering if anyone had any reasonably solid evidence that twitter works as an SEO tool? Do you need to tweet several times a day and have hundreds of followers for it to have any effect and is it worth spending time doing that as opposed to building links in other ways?
I havent yet found it useful for my own services, Although I imagine if you had many followers who are actually interested in what you do or sell it could be great for announcing discounts new products and news. Other then that I dont think it has much SEO value.
Very spammy, and most of the people who are making money from twitter are those selling tools, ebooks and guides on how they've used twitter to make them money and help them promote. I don't use them!
I recently open a twitter account to promote my wallpaper sites, I submitted the account into a particular twitter directory and within 1 month I had like 2000+ followers. Guess what it was all useless traffic filled with people looking to increase their own followers. Not impressed with twitter, filled with spammers to be quite honest!
Plus who the hell has time for micro blogging..
@bigzee: yeah i found much the same, not much effort is required to rack up a big follower count, which just goes to show how beneficial it really is. i.e how many of those followers are actually real people and true followers.
Overall twitter has become over run with webmasters, and guys looking to over promote their websites. There might be some accounts that represent the real world of normal users but they're hard to come by so i don't bother with twitter anymore.
Well if your lucky you can get earn money from twitter . Just make few tweets , get lots of followers and BOOM your earning money.
Good evening - as all of us probably are power users of twitter I thought you may find this useful . I signed up to sponsored tweets about a month ago - after building some folowers I now get paid $1.5 just to tweet out some sponsored tweets related to my niche -
heres the site link
Code:
http://sponsoredtweets.com/
all white hat but im sure you'll find a way to paint it black
Tweets are actually indexed by Google. Whenever a tweet goes out onto the web, it is the same as a blog being updated. New content makes Google salivate.
For me, Twitter is useful in three ways:
# Get questions answered
# Expand your professional network
# Promote your blog posts
I haven't thought about twitter as a seo tool, however, if you get aton of targeted followers who ar eintersted in what you offer you could actually generate a lot of money.
Its great if your trying to sell stuff , that's all. Anyways this is my opinion .

I am too using these twitter for having a good conversation with my friends. It help me to get status regarding the friends and whom I am following.
It is useful if you have promo regarding with your business and also updated articles. You can tweet about it and add the links at the end then hash tags.
Just make few tweets , get lots of followers and earn a lot of money....
Twitter's not without its problems, of course. It'd be great to have Twitter groups, so you could send messages to just a subset of people who are interested in a particular topic. The performance has sometimes been less than adequate as everyone piles in to try it. I suffer from Twitter addiction occasionally, when I compulsively watch Twitter messages roll by instead of doing real work.
Twitter is useful to promote our brand and services.people will follow and buy some ebooks, softwares, services who are needed.I think this is very useful ,but we have to careful from spammers.
The new Twitter email goes beyond just a summary of popular links shared by those you follow. It also includes five tweets that were popular in the last day, but that don't have links in them.

Based on experience, it opens doors to a wider set of audience. Twitter's hashtag is there for a reason, too, and it's a crucial part in getting the word out of your website. There this website (I forgot the URL) but it lets your gain followers in just a few clicks. No, not the instant 100 followers.
It works by you putting a specific niche and it shows people that are interested in the same thing as you and your website.
We recently shared a few articles related to TED Talks. Here's one that compiles a few videos on human psychology and behavior. Here's one on human creativity and passion. I don't know about you, but I find TED Talks to be fascinating.

hello everyone,
Twitter is basically useful in driving traffic to your business if you have a good number of followers then you can market your products and share details to people who then can consume the product or advice others to have it. It helps in marketing over internet and also having high Pr of 9 having links from it helps in your ranking also to some extent.
Twitter is most trustable site and also having high standard in social networking sites. I trust twitter's users more than Facebook users.
For me, it isn't so useful like facebook, but depends...it is different structured

I give thanks to you because I think the same. I think people use only twitter for the reality persons status after facebook have come. They don't spent much time in twitter from before they were.
Twitter is a great medium to target a massive amount of users to go to your website. It is also created to build brand awareness. Twitter is used for both personal and marketing purposes. It will be great if you will use it for advertisement.

easy to explain it, I think you should join some course for understanding more.
It's not simple to understand it, you need more time and experience to know it clearly.
Twitter's impact on SEO is vastly overstated. While it's true that tweets can be indexed by search engines, the reality is that most users don't search for tweets, they search for websites and articles. Furthermore, the algorithmic noise on Twitter makes it difficult to stand out, and the fleeting nature of tweets means that they have a short shelf life.
