Using Twitter for Your Link Building

What people do not realize is that you really can use your Twitter account to

help you out with your SEO campaign. There are several different

ways of using Twitter for your link building;

in fact, that you can build valid, real and substantial links for your website using your Twitter account. You will be surprised at the high quality links

you can generate with these methods.

Here are some tips on using Twitter for your link building:

• The first and most indirect way is by building relationships with people

on Twitter. Yes, it will take you a while, but eventually you could wind up with

links from these relationships.

• Make a list of the top people in a particular genre. Take a topic and reach out to others, perhaps looking for the

best videos on the subject, and find the Twitter accounts of the people that appear in the videos. Use Twitter to

connect with them and also ask everyone for the best videos on the

subject matter.

Once you gather all of these people you

can create your list of top people and reach out to them once more in the

form of badges that they can place on their website that link back to yours.

• Another way you might use your

Twitter account is by reaching out to someone else. If they are tweeting that they need something in particular, and you can help them, do so! It could turn

around to them rewarding you with promoting your site and your business.

• Bring stories together. Use your tweets and posts on other social

networks and bring them together. Find a program, such as Summify, that will pull everything together that once was little bits here and there to make an interesting story that others will

start to follow and retweet, therefore getting others to follow as well.

• Continued relationship building.

Nothing is more important than being involved with and getting to know

others in your industry and following them. You may just be able to suggest links to them at times when they are

looking for something that they missed. You have to constantly be

building on these relationships and reach out to others around you doing

the same things.

• Create content to start answering

others’ questions. When you see people all over your social networks

looking for the answer to something in particular, you can create a blog or a

list that answers this question for them, providing them with links, video,

etc. Building up these kinds of things will continue to draw attention to your

Twitter and your links.

• Testimonial time! Simply put, you let

people on the web know when you really like their product or service, and offer them a great testimonial. You will most likely get a direct message from

them, and they will use your testimonial on their site, plus begin to

follow you. You will get a direct link back to your site from endorsing their

product.

• Partnerships. Once you have those relationships built up, you can easily

go to any type of business and let them know you like what they are doing, and perhaps the two of you could partner. You will likely get a

response because they know who you are, and this will obviously cause

linking back and forth between you.

• With some creativity and some

patience, you can create the relationships on Twitter that will get you links from all different sources,

boosting your SEO campaign greatly.
