Recent announcement by Google and Bing makes Twitter an excellent SEO tool.

If your company is not already using Twitter as an internet marketing tool to generate profits than here is another great reason to get started.

We mentioned recently that both Google and Bing are starting to include Twitter posts (tweets) into their normal search results pages.  This means that whenever someone enters in a search term, they will not only see relevant websites, but they will also find tweets that relate to what they are searching for.

By regularly tweeting about your relevant search terms, you can have your Tweets on the first page of Google and Bing, even if your website isn’t there yet. From there, you can draw people to your website, and eventually turn them into customers.

Here are a few tips to write tweets that are search engine optimized:

• Include key phrases in tweets – these are the words people are using to find you.
• Don’t spam – keep your tweets interesting and relevant.
• Tweet regularly – recent posts get priority for search results.
• Use hashtags – # is used in Twitter to identify a specific topic such as #cars. Find topics that relate to your post at http://hashtags.org/.

Using Twitter for SEO can generate huge results for your business. If you have already seen results or have questions, leave a comment below.
