15 TOP Twitter SEO Tips and Tools

Twitter is a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read other users’ messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user’s profile page.

Tweets are publicly visible by default, however senders can restrict message delivery to their friends list. Users may subscribe to other users’ tweets—this is known as following and subscribers are known as followers.

All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, compatible external applications (such as for smartphones), or by Short Message Service (SMS) available in certain countries. While the service is free, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.

01) Choose a Twitter handle strategically – Twitter handle, which can be your name, company name, brand name, blog name and so on. While choose a twitter handle (your username) make sure it is relevant to your blog or website and is easy to remember as it is the part of the SEO title for the tweets appearing in Google search engine. For example if you are running iPhone blog then you can probably use twitter handle starting with iPhone.

02) Boost your Twitter Profile Page Rank

• Optimize your meta description - Your Twitter ‘bio’, is actually your meta description. Make sure to include keywords.
• Display web site’s URL – Do not forget to display URL of your blog or website prominently on your twitter profile page. This will eventually increase the organic traffic as people often click the URL for seeking more information. It is important to note that this link does not provide any SEO link juice due to a “Nofollow” attribute in place.
• Optimize your page description - Use target keywords on your profile page and make sure to use keywords in your Tweets.
• Create inbound links - Just post articles with an anchor text link to your Twitter profile on article syndication sites. This strategy helps in boosting your profile’s page rank.
• Direct relationship between followers and profile PageRank - If you have lots of followers you will be popular among twitter users, which will eventually boost page rank of your profile page.
• Place Twitter profile Link in footer or sidebar, which is accessible via every page.

03) Follow Related Theme Profiles Only – Search engines increases your twitter profile link juice when you are able to get followers from good PR twitter profiles. Make sure that you add only those twitter users that are related to your blog content or share tweets on similar interest. This will increase number of retweets and thereby traffic.

04) Use 301 permanent redirect, while shortening URL – TinyURL, bit.ly, tr.im are popular URL shortening services that redirect users to the real URL via 301 (permanent redirect) and provide backlinks to your content. Search engines do not index TinyURLs, but index and pass PageRank to the actual URLs instead.

05) Use desired keywords in tweet content – Twitter does not allow you to tweet for more than 140 characters. Instead of automatically shortening the links on twitter.com, it is strongly advised to use URL shortening service like bit.ly. Once your URL is shortened, you have much more space to include more target keyword into twitter content. 

06) SEO Optimize Title of Tweets in Twitter – The most important part of your post for keyword/SEO consideration is the first 27 characters. It’s this first part that becomes part of the <TITLE> on your Twitter static pages. Twitter uses the following <TITLE> format:

Twitter / Your Username: 27 Characters …

The same SEO rules that you apply to write optimized titles for the post must be used for twitter tweets as well. The only difference is that you have a restriction of 27 Characters as compared to 65 Characters in Blog Posts. For optimized tweets use keyword rich Titles within first 27 characters.

07) Use Hashtags in Tweets – Hashtags are similar to keyword meta-data. Basically, these are tags that that help those who seek similar content discover your Tweets. They’re like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your post. Hashtags are created by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag. This will help the visitors to view your tweet around a particular topic. To search most recent and hot hashtags visit #hashtags.org. Alternatively, you can use Twemes.com to find new hashtags.

08) Retweet Startegy – An indexed tweet provides 27 characters or so for title post excluding ‘Twitter / Your Username: ‘

Make sure your tweet’s character limits allow for optimal retweets. It is important to keep the tweet under 125 characters, allowing your followers to add “RT @yourname” in front of the tweet. If you retweet the retweeted tweet it will result into the following link-

Twitter / Berrie Pelser: RT @Username RT @Username RT @Use ...

The original <title> of the Tweet is now truncated, with no keyword in place. To show link love some of us delete all the “RT @yourname”  text before retweeting into the Twitter Network. But it is not advisable, as the strategy could have adverse impact on your twitter profile pagerank. Instead you can add the RT @Username at the end of the Retweeted content.

09) Tweet in order to get your article retweeted – This is the most important part for getting huge twitter traffic. In order to get more traffic and relevance to your tweet make sure that you retweets, other blog articles and encourage others twitter users to share (retweet) your Twitter content. Keep in mind the Retweet strategy discussed above.

10) Tweet and retweet relevant content timely – Make sure you are tweeting and retweeting articles keeping your followers and blog content in mind. If you are hosting a blog on windows 7 and tweets on windows 7 and H1N1 Tips simultaneously, then Google search engine may not love your twitter profile. This exercise may result in decrease in number of followers as well. Only share the links when you feel it should be, do not spam the twitter. source: gadgetsdna.com

11) Ranking with your profile on Google sounds simpler than it is. What do you want to rank for? You can’t rank easily for different keywords. I rank for Tad Chef with my profile. What about onreact though, my older nick name or brand? I had to set up another Twitter account to rank for onreact as onreact_com is considered by Google to be onreactcom.

In the end I added 4 extra accounts that cover the most common terms associated with me. Also Twitter outranks me for my Tad Chef. So one day I might want to change that be de-optimizing it actually. List are a good tool to cover more terms. You can add only yourself or your employees if you like too. A list called “seo london” will probably succeed rather than one called just seo.

12 ) Ranking organically with tweets largely depends on the keyword usage and what comes first in your tweet. You don’t want to rank for [RT @andy RT @bill RT @chris] so make sure you add the users you retweet at the end with a blog-like [via @andy @bill #chris]. Also you should add some meaningful tags: #seo is fine for Twitter but something more exact like #twitterseo might be better findable and more accurate.

13) etting found in Twitter search is not really desirable if you ask me. The results are messy and lack focus. Even the so called “popular” results on top are barely relevant. People still use this search in spite of better alternatives like Topsy etc. though. Scheduling recurring tweets might be a good idea here. Don’t spam though. I think more than 4 tweets a day is too much. Lots of Twitter tools support scheduled tweets. HootSuite and CoTweet for example do.

14) Making tweets spread virally is perhaps the most important discipline of Twitter SEO. The other stuff is very basic. Add popular terms and keywords to your twet to make people retweet. Words like “free”, “tips”, “tools” etc., brands like “Google”, “Apple” everybody cares for and something that makes a tweeet stand out like “OMG!”, “WTF?” or a number.

Of course the link you tweet or the message must be worth retweeting. In case it isn’t nobody will retweet it. Tweets about Twitter, technology, social media, business that are helpful for most users will get more popular that tweets about niche topics like SEO. Humor is also key. Even SEO jokes are quite popular.

15) Entering Google results via realtime search is easy once you’re tweet has become viral but it sometimes also helps to tweet your link from more than one account and more than one time. For instance we at SEOptimise tweet from the company account first, then in most cases the boss himself, Kevin will retweet the link and I will post it again or retweet as an author.

As our postings have considerable value the rest is done by other regular users. Don’t forget that many Twitter accounts are mostly useless bots that retweet automatically based on keywords: Nobody clicks those links. They may show up in Google though as it doesn’t really filter tweets.

These Twitter SEO best practices are neither SEO secrets nor controversial. Everybody serious about Twitter SEO tweets that way. Other people don’t mind but if you’re using Twitter for business reasons should do more than just click and run. Make sure to act accordingly to perform better in search be it Google or Twitter or third party tools like Topsy.
