Social media has recently become very popular in the SEO New York industry. Popular sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are all now considered essential in some New York SEO company’s strategies. In this article we are going to look at how you can use twitter to help your SEO campaign.

Now there have been previous arguments about whether a link posted on Twitter will actually help your website and help you move up the rankings. The truth is that in some search engines the link is going to be more effective than others. This is because any links posted on Twitter via comments are “nofollow” links. This in simple terms means that search engines will disregard the link included in the hyperlink. One thing you should note however is that although Google would typically be strict with this, other searches engines algorithms will pick up the link and register it as a valid backlink.

This makes is easier to rank your profile page. To do this effectively you need to choose your Twitter nick name carefully. If you are able to have your exact keywords as your name then there is a high chance it will get picked up by the likes of Google.

If you want to try and rank better in Twitter’s own search function and not just the search engines, then one thing you can do is use the # function. Twitter recognised the # function and uses it as a way to recognise the keywords of a post. This is great for driving even more traffic to website without it ever coming from an actual search engine.
