SEO Copywriting Tips for Twitter: Get More Traffic from Every Tweet
Twitter is an online marketing tool that’s not going anywhere. It’s found its way into online marketing toolboxes and is here to stay.
So now that your internet marketing toolbox has another piece of equipment, it’s only natural that there are SEO rules to be applied to make it more effective. To that end, following are 3 SEO tips to get more traffic from your tweets.
#1 SEO Tip for Twitter
Write for Search Engines: And, what I mean by this is, just as you would an SEO article title for example, write the first 40 to 50 characters using SEO guidelines. This means using keywords at the beginning of your tweets.
This is important because while search engines index the full 140 characters of your tweets, only the first 45 or so characters show up in a search result on major search engines like Google.
#2 SEO Tip for Twitter
Write with SEO in Mind This means to use keywords in your tweets. Do your keyword research so that you can have a range of traffic-driving, keyword rich phrases to use when you tweet. Now this doesn’t mean resort to keyword stuffing your tweets – after all, you only have 140 characters. However it does mean to be aware of what your keywords are so that you can use them when you tweet.
#3 SEO Tip for Twitter
Share Resources: One of the great things about Twitter is that it allows you to share resources – and your knowledge – with others. It’s a real chance to brand yourself.
The Most Important SEO Tip for Twitter
Twitter is all about community – sharing relevant information, being a resource, giving to others before (or without) thinking of getting for yourself. For no matter how many “SEO Tips for Twitter” you read and enact, if you forget this one cardinal rule of the site, you miss the whole point of Twitter and what it can do for your business.
I ended with this tip because it brings the post full circle: The way that Twitterer’s share info is via links. Tweeting a relevant timely or funny or controversial or in depth, etc., etc., etc. piece of info can drive hundreds or thousands of visitors to your blog/site in minutes – literally.
Tweeting can make a link you tweeted go viral, which means lots of backlinks, which means your site/blog gets more search engine juice, which drives more traffic – and eventually leads to sales.
