If you’ve been ignoring Twitter for search engine optimization (SEO), it’s time to rethink your position. Twitter Search is about to crawl the links which people tweet and index them.
Hey @Google – @Twitter To Start Indexing Links For Search reports:
“Speaking on a panel today, Santosh Jayaram, Twitter’s new VP of Operations, had some very interesting things to say, Webware’s Rafe Needleman who moderated it, reports. The most interesting thing is that Twitter Search will soon begin crawling the links that people tweet out and indexing them. This immediately takes Twitter Search, which is still a very basic service, to the next level. This means that no longer will it just be a stream of textual tweets, but it will include millions of web pages as well — web pages that are more or less already curated by the individuals who tweet them out. Sure, there will be some spam, maybe even a lot of it, but this user curation should help real good content from around the web bubble up.”
If you’ve got content that’s been forgotten, start tweeting — Twitter is about to get much more interesting for search marketers. :-)
