Twitter SEOIf you have a twitter account or have clients that do I recommend you read the post on Mashable, ‘The Top 10 Twitter SEO Tips‘.

Without stealing their thunder here are the most important tips to takeaway imo:

Choose a good handle (username):

Be sure to pick an optimal handle that’s relevant to your brand or campaign and easy to remember.

Select a good account name:

Your name is what appears next to your profile, which can be different than your handle/URL. You obviously want an account name that promotes yourself, your company or your brand.

Write a good bio:

Write your Bio so it includes the most important, mission-critical phrases for your brand. Use all 160 characters! Your bio is consistently indexed so its contents are what provide your Twitter page with its core relevance.

Share the URL with everyone:

Now be sure to point to your Twitter profile from other sites. For example, you can integrate your Twitter URL into your website by placing a call to action on the site for your customers to follow you on Twitter. You could also integrate your Twitter URL within your site’s Global Footer, which appears at the bottom of every page of your site. Both of these options offer usability to your site visitors and help drive your Twitter URL up in the search engines.

The beginning of your tweets are important:

The “lead-in” of each tweet is important for SEO as it determines what appears in the tweet’s title tag when it shows up as a search result on Google. Approximately 42 characters are factored into each tweet’s title tag, including the account name, as well as the initial characters of each tweet. Keep in mind that your full tweet and all its characters are still being indexed by major engines, though.

Happy tweeting!
