Twitter is a great way to spread information about your company, even if your ‘company’ is a locally focused small business. It’s also a good place to build a new following and grow your business beyond it’s local limits by taking part in hash tag(#) conversations with others from around the globe.
It’s easy to connect most popular social networks with your website, if it’s designed with a modern CMS, and Twitter is no exception. If you use a CMS such as WordPress, then feed Twitter with RSS, you never need to physically log into twitter again, if you didn’t want to. So, it’s easy, affordable and worthwhile to add Twitter to your marketing plan. Especially if you add content to your website regularly.

No matter where you are, get national exposure through Twitter
Twitter cleaned up its act a while back with a new look(undergoing more UI changes currently). We’ve much enjoyed the new design. But did we know that the birdie got all gussied up for the big show? Yeah, we did. How could we not? Twitter is the best looking & most simply functional site on the net, according to just about everyone. I wonder if it will ever go public.
Why is Twitter Good for #SEO?
Tweeting a page is one of the best ways of ‘alerting’ web crawlers of a new(or older) url’s presence.
Tweeting enables your on site search engine optimization to work because when you tweet a url information companies notice. I’ve tweeted an article and 5 minutes later found it on page 1 of a Google query, already cached.
There are other social bookmarking sites and micro-blogs feeding the info companies, but the sheer number of bots which follow twitter links makes twitter the top traffic cop I’ve ever observed. I’ve watched MSN, YHOO, GOOG, AMZN, and a few others all hit a new tweet at once.

Yes, Twitter is good for SEO
I read a very popular optimization blog recently and in it the words twitter, seo, and waste of time were all mentioned in the same sentence. I can speak from personal experience when I say that twitter is a very good tool if used appropriately and if that use is weighed accordingly. Aforementioned blogger was probably upset that @aplusk didn’t follow him back.
Always tweet your content considering humans and web crawlers and I’ll be seeing you soon in GOOG returns. Tweet randomly since if you just sit there and tweet, after the second or third one you’re tweets don’t attract the same attention. One every 1.0 hours seems good for indexing results.
