Loading ...Social networking can play an important role in a search engine optimisation campaign. Using social networks as a search engine optimisation technique is a relatively recent development as the social networks themselves have only become extremely successful and popular in recent years. However, this does not mean that social networking is not necessary and depending on the type of business can be beneficial.
Twitter is one of the social networking websites that has substantially increased its number of users in recent months and is therefore having an influence in search engine optimisation. However, it is not just a case of registering with a site like this and then improving the ranking of the website and increasing the amount of traffic to it. In order to use a website such as Twitter effectively, a number of different factors need to be considered and a lot of thought given.
The username chosen for the account is of importance. Choose one that is memorable and try to include the name of your business in it too. Also, choose the name for your Twitter account thoughtfully and make it a little different to the username you have chosen. When searching for relevant keywords, search engines can look at both the username and the account name for relevancy.
Try to feature any keywords that are relevant to your business and website in your Twitter profile but do this appropriately. Don’t just fill any space with keywords without ensuring that the text makes sense and will be of interest to other users of Twitter. Add any relevant links too. Links to your business website and other social networks you are registered with can all be advantageous. Again, only include links that seem appropriate.
When a Twitter update is used by the search engines and offered to searchers as part of the relevant search results, the searcher will be shown around 40 of the first characters that make up the beginning of the update. This means that this part of the update is of particular importance and is where relevant keywords and words that are relevant to the update should be given. The customization of the Twitter page and background upon which your information is featured can also make a big difference. Create it effectively and with a little bit of consideration and it can look professional and eye-catching too. This is also an opportunity to continue with the branding of your business by keeping themes similar or the same.
