Can Twitter really help your Google Rankings??
-
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me if Twitter really does help with your Goolge rankings?
If I go to the trouble of setting up a Twitter account for my business will it really help with me getting higher rankings?
If so is it a case of me just posting tweets all the time and links to my website?
Any help or guidance be grateful guys
Thanks
Gareth

I'd highly recommend not using Twitter solely for higher rankings. Twitter helps you with brand management, customer service, community management, etc. If you're only using Twitter to try to game Google, you're probably going about it the wrong way. I'd focus on managing your Twitter account in a way that will benefit you as part of your overall marketing strategy.

google +, facebook shares, and then twitter in that order help your rankings. Also it seems they can lose strength over time if no new shares are added to that page.

Twitter, Facebook and any other social media site will help you in Google terms but few things here:
first you don't want to post tweets all day and link to your site, that's a big no. keep it natural try to have your customers follow you and give them relevant information of your industry.
sure sometimes you can run deals (i am not sure what you sale or service) and tweet about that , just make sure your site and twitter account linking one to the other.
do the same with Facebook and few others and yea it will help in the long run and not only to your ranking as don't forget ranking its not the all game customers are and if you communicate true social media it will help you in the long run for sure.
hope that help

Claiming Google+ URLs?
I have several brands which I am managing G+ profile pages for. These range from established brands with large followings to just starting out. When I try to claim a custom URL for these on Google+, it says to add some extra characters after the brand names to make them unique. I can't find any example of established big brands who have G+ URLS like "+toyotausa24" "+tacobell3" or anything like that. This does not seem to be well documented anywhere. Can someone tell me what the deal is with this feature? Also what is the best practice for large brands when claiming this? +BrandName1?

How can i make our social network site rank higher?
Our site is currently not in the first 3 pages of Google. it is a social networking site that requires users to login/ register. Much of the content is therefore user generated and is as diverse as the users themselves. The problem is that SEOmoz crawler is not even picking up the keywords i inserted into the site. Does this mean that Google is not even picking them up as well? Our site is www.yookos.com

Google+ I set up a profile as my business a while back. Should I change to a page NOW?
A while back, can't remember when, I set up a profile page under my business name. It has recently started picking up a bit of momentum but I am concerned it is not in line with Google's policy and will eventually get removed. I don't want to invest any more effort into this profile if this is likely so am looking at moving my efforts to a page. Any ideas / recommendations? Thanks,
