The moment that Twitter exploded at the end of March, everyone wanted to know how SEO and Twitter can bring you more traffic and increase brand awareness. I’ve read countless blog posts and they are full of tips on creating a standard for twitter but not really using it as an SEO tool.

Twitter is a fantastic link building tool. Other than that, there is not much you can really do at this point in time as Google only indexes Twitter pages and not actual tweets (thank God). So if you want to bring more traffic to your Twitter page and your brand you can do the following and then go have a life:

1.        Name your Twitter page after yourself (NOWAI!) or your business name.

2.        Tweet links that appeal to your niche such as awesome blog posts, funny videos, informative articles and such.

3.        Retweet something of interest that someone you follow or a follower says/links to because it looks like you actually give a shit about what people say rather than just being a follower-whore.

4.        Link, link, link. Link to your latest press release or blog post. Pass on some of that twitter juice straight to your site.

You do not need to follow 50+ tips on Twitter SEO, there’s no science to it. So spend 2 minutes a day on your beloved Twitter and then go get some icecream.
