How Can Twitter Help Your SEO?

Twitter links are nofollow, but that doesn't mean that you can't use Twitter for website promotion. On the one hand, many SEOs say that Twitter isn't a ranking factor. However, Twitter pages directly influence Google's SERPs and thus may be a major force in search engine visibility.Whether or not Twitter directly affects the SERPs, here are Twitter SEO tactics that are worth checking out.

Twitter SEO strategies
When doing your Twitter SEO strategies, remember that all your tweets shouldn't be about your own website and content. This is bad for your website promotion and would turn people off. No one wants to follow a conceited, I'm-so-great prima donna. Besides, if your tweets would be all about your products and services, they would look spammy. Post engaging and useful information, answer and ask questions, tweet interesting facts, and send messages that your followers will find valuable.

Optimize Your Twitter Page
This is another Twitter SEO tactic that'll help increase your followers and improve your poduct reputation. The major search engines all include Twitter account pages on their SERPs. Here are website promotion tips on how to get your profile on the front page of search engine results.

1. Consider a username that's relevant to your niche or your business. Your username can affect your website promotion since its part of your page's URL and title tag.
2. Choose a relevant account name. This will further boost your Twitter website traffic, since the account name is also part of the page title. The account name should be different from the username.
3. Promote your Twitter profile page by building links to it. To boost Twitter website traffic, paste a link to your account on your site's footer or other prominent areas.
4. Since your bio serves as the meta description tag, choose your text wisely and keep website promotion in mind. 

More importantly, Twitter provides benefits that are far different from the advantages of search engine optimization. So, before building your SEO campaign via this social network, make sure to achieve Twitter SEO benefits first.

Entrepreneurs, Listen Up

Your website is a showcase of your business identity and should reflect all of your goals. If you own a small business with a website, you might not realize how difficult it is to get traffic to your site. Many small businesses naively enter the web assuming that they will miraculously end up on search engines. All of them quickly find out that isn't the case. To get on those engines, you have to go through a process called search engine optimization (SEO). For years now, there have been tons of people researching just how SEO works and how they could use it to their advantage. If you want your business to pick up, you have to do the same.

The easiest thing to do when you're just getting started is to hire someone to help you out. This won't cost you a lot of money, and it will help you get insight on just how the internet really works. Techniques for search engine marketing change all the time, so much so that it literally takes full time attention for you to understand everything out there. Seeing that you don't have that kind of time, hiring someone that does SEO for a living would be quite logical. You can benefit from their experience.

One of the first things that you will do with your SEO consultant is determine who your audience is and how they operate the internet. One integral part of this process is keyword research. During that time, you figure out what words people are using to find your site and others like it. That way you can put those terms on your site and in your marketing material, providing associations with you and the words. You will also use these keywords with the links you put for your site on other sites so people click on them and already know what to expect from your services.

As your traffic begins to improve, you and your consultant will be able to monitor where you're seeing the most success so you can direct your search engine marketing down that path. The consultant will take the time to draft monthly reports for you so you can see just what is happening with your website. It may take some time for things to pick up initially, but after a few months of work, you should see a great deal of benefits for your small business. If enough traffic comes along, you may actually turn into a big business to meet the demands of your customers. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Wish You All The Best.

SEO tips 6

When naming a page after a keyword phrase, is there any more
"SEO benefit" to using a hyphen (-) to connect two words than
an underscore (_) in Google.


Example: Chinese-food.html is better than Chinese_food.html

They have equal value in Google now. There was a time when it was
better to use hyphens. But this is not the case as of recent.

Nice poem by Kaunie Hagensen


I Could

I could write you a letter,
But what would it say?
Could it make things better?
Would it make everything okay?

I could write you a song,
Full of love hope and grace.
Would you tell me what went wrong?
Could you say it to my face?

I could make a telephone call,
And listen as you cried
But I would not let you fall,
And if you did, we'd both know I tried.

I could make the world go away
But would that be what you like?
You would miss the golden sunrays
You would miss the moonlight.

I could stop all this pain
Bring it all to an end
The tears would fall like rain
On the shoulder of a dear friend.

SEO


Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Engineering is the process of of enhancing your website’s visibility within search engines. For your business to succeed on the internet, its website needs to rank high in the results returned by the major search engines.

Why does my website need SEO?
It's Really interesting to know that there are more than 500,000,000 different websites that are relevant to the search query, but really, if your website doesn't appear in the first 3 pages (or first 30 results), it's invisible to the world. Having an online presence that is optimized well to rank high on the search engine result pages ensures improved better visibility, branding and reputation in the online market. Along with strengthening and authenticating your business as a brand, it also brings a great percentage of potential customers.If your site cannot be found by search engines, you miss out on the incredible opportunities available to websites provided via search - people who want what you have visiting your site.

Search queries, the words that users type into the search box which contain terms and phrases best suited to your site, carry extraordinary value. Experience has shown that search engine traffic can make (or break) an organization's success. Targeted visitors to a website can provide publicity, revenue, and exposure like no other. Investing in SEO, whether through time or finances, can have an exceptional ROI.
