Twitter is a social media website and is a popular choice for many internet users. Visitors to the Twitter website use it to communicate, share news and to advertise with others that have subscribed to their tweets. Twitter is fast becoming a major player in the online environment and this means it is having a significant influence in search engine optimisation too. A Twitter account can be useful for businesses and benefit them in many ways. However, some involved in search engine optimisation believe that the success and popularity of Twitter is resulting in the deterioration of influence and usefulness of traditional inbound links and therefore this popular SEO technique may require attention and change.
For many businesses it now seems to be the case that the productivity of inbound links has been reduced significantly. Less internet users are visiting blogs and reading them for information and entertainment purposes and this means that there is less traffic being directed from blogs to the appropriate websites. A reduction in the amount of traffic from blogs to the website of a business can have a disastrous effect and therefore it is necessary to consider alternative methods to target this traffic if your blog is indeed losing readers and potential customers.
One popular explanation for the deterioration in numbers of blog readers is the establishment and increasing growth and development of Twitter. Twitter is now the favourite social media website chosen by millions of users all over the world in order to share content.
If this is the case and users prefer and are going to continue to choose Twitter, businesses can benefit from acknowledging this and spending more time and effort on the Twitter element of their search engine optimisation campaign instead. Relevant and useful information can be given in a tweet more easily and in a shorter amount of time than is needed to create a great blog post. Using Twitter, links and ideas can be communicated with others quickly and efficiently.
If inbound links are losing their influence for internet users and businesses using this technique then more and more websites will turn to Twitter for assistance and promotion. If this happens, it is likely that the major search engines will have to adapt their algorithms appropriately in order to put less emphasis on inbound links and more attention on Tweets made on the Twitter website.
