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

Facebook Name Change and Effect on SEO
Hey Mozzers! Trying this one again as my timing was probably pretty bad with Easter. Working with a company who has about 20K followers on Facebook and about 500 backlinks to their current facebook page. They want to change the name of the page to better reflect the business. I need to advise on this but I'm not sure of and how it will effect them. Any one had any experience in this area?

Managing Multiple Instagram Accounts
If managing a number of client's Instagram accounts, it seems using an app on a desktop might be more efficient than continually logging in and out of Instagram on a smartphone. Can anyone suggest though suitable apps that actually enable this to be done effectively for multiple clients? Ideally managing all on the one platform without having to sign in and out would be ideal. Also a free app would obviously be preferred to paid, but open to both.

Twitter Hash Tags Leave Me A Liitle Confused :-(
Good Afternoon from 9 degrees C wetherby UK I'm trying to get a better understanding of how search results are retrieved in Twitter. Take this scanario for instance. Via twitter search (see screen grab for illustration [IMG]http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/hash-tag-query.jpg[/IMG] ) you enter Vintage Clothing. The results
Social Media | | Nightwing
show tweets where some have #Vintage #clothing in the text whilst others just have the term vintage clothing in the tweet. So my question is please... "If your client asks how do i get my tweets picked up by searchers looking for vintage clothing should i ad hash tags or not bother and just mention the term in the tweek" Put another way, why do some tweeters hash tag a key pharse and place term in the snippet. I'm, a bit confused... [IMG]http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/confused.jpg[/IMG]0 -
