Does Twitter help SEO?
Sunday August 10, 2008
My gut response to this question is "No," and according to Totus Internet Marketing that's true. But even if Twitter doesn't help you with SEO it can be a good marketing tool if you are willing to take the time to use it well. Just setting up an RSS feed into Twitter won't help. In fact, it will only attract the attention of other spammers. But if you are willing to join the conversation you can use Twitter to also market your website. My rule of thumb, try to keep the automated posts to around 1 for every 3-5 real posts you send. And remember to reply to people. You can't expect people to interact with you if you don't interact with them. Follow me on Twitter.

Twitter doesn’t help you with SEO.
Twitter helps you and your businees socail aware and its a good busniness / marketing tool and it all how we use
I whole-heartedly disagree with you that Twitter doesn’t help you with SEO. It does not help you directly, but indirectly.
It can attract many visitors to your webpage, a key part of SEO called ‘inbound linking.’
Proper leveraging of the Twitter community will also ensure your articles, posts, and pages are more widely circulated and linked to on the web, and this IMPROVES THE RELEVANCE OF YOUR WEBSITE to search engines, ranking them higher.
I’ve just blogged about this on my website at www.bluefalconmarketing.com, feel free to refute my points and learn how I believe Twitter DOES in fact help SEO.
