How do I maximize my Twitter account for SEO?
-
What should I be doing to maximize my Twitter account to contribute to the SEO of my website? I have 30,000 followers and want to get some SEO out of Twitter.

No problem!
Well I would imagine you are targeting some specific area/keywords with each blog post, so it would be a good idea to get them to link to the post itself. I have also found that this is more often the case. Obviously you will end up picking up links to both through these methods and you should see an increase in both page and domain authority. This will lead to improved rankings and more traffic.
Good luck

Thanks Matt. Great stuff.
I can do that. So last question for today,
Do you recommend that I have them link to a particular blog entry or just the homepage of the blog?
-
Hi Justin,
Your ultimate goal would be to get them to link to your site, so in your case the blog entry, but it would still be good to encourage some interaction on your blog.
If you have a blog you could look at identifying active followers in your niche and getting them to produce a guest post for you. This will bring your blog to the attention of their audience, as well as yours.

Do I want them to leave a comment on the blog or is it better to have them link our blog entry on their own websites and link to it?

You need to work out ways you can get this large audience to engage with you and your content. Tweeting links to decent content with something that will grab their attention and get them to visit your site for this content will help gain retweets. Through such exposure you are likely to get more interaction and links.
You might want to think about incentivising your followers to retweet and interact with your site.
As you are probably aware
great content + exposure = links
- links help increase ranking.
Social media is a great platform to build an audience and interact with them to form relationships, so that when you have great content you can put it in front of them and gain this exposure!
This Youmoz post today is a very good example of getting people to engage with your brand using such methods

max 2 keywords per page
keyword in slug or html page name
keyword density of 3-5%
keyword 2 times in title and meta description (preferably at beginning and end)
keyword in bold, italic, and underline

pdf links (slideshare, google docs, pdfcast, scribd)

Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. Is there value in a presence on them?
I have a client (professional practice) whose father is a marketing professor. He is pushing the client that he should have a professional page on social sites. While I believe having FB likes, shares, Tweet links, +1, etc. on the page, I really am ambivalent about building pages specifically for social media sites.

Roundup of Facebook Share & Facebook Like. Which one is better for SEO?
There doesn't seem to be clear cut advice / data on whether Facebook Share or Facebook Like is more valuable from an SEO standpoint. So I'm asking you SEOmoz fans have you come across conclusive evidence or have your own sites / testes proven that one is stronger than the other.
