Facebook/Twitter Use May Now Mean More for Google/Bing Rankings

Social Media for SEO is Not Just About Links Anymore

39 Comments

BAd Idea

I think that unless they have the option to exclude FB and Twitter (which quite frankly is the most useless thing around) in the results then I think this is a really bad idea. When I am searching for information on something I dont really want to get a bunch tweets in the results. However if I want to know what someone thinks about something thenI might.

Facebook/Twitter

Very interesting post. thanks!

Interesting Idea

It would be nice to see relevant post listed, but so much of it is just nothing. How do you determine relevancy other than who the sender might be?

Automated posts to Twitter are possible!

I am using a nice software for my blogs and each time I post a new information it automaticly posts a "tweet" from my Twitter account about the fresh posts. Nice) Here is a link where you can download it for free : http://www.tweetmyblog.com/?rid=18055

Awesome idea... as long as spam gets filtered properly

Adding tweets to search results is pretty useful imo. Real-time search like search.twitter.com is definitely the future. However, since spammers abound on Twitter, I hope Google's search results won't be loaded with junk. Google provides relevant results most of the time. Hope they'll keep doing so.

Twitter being used effectively

We automated tweets about 6 months ago. Every single product update created a tweet. Gained followers and traffic out of it. This can only help.

Facebook and Twitter

I think it will definitely cause an increase in traffic

Sounds good...

It's all good as far as I'm concerned. Since I use both of these social sites to market my safety and security web site. I think it's great. Thanks, Chris.

Real-Time Search

Yup, sure do.

Twitter Updates

Thanks for the post and for sharing the resourceful new about Twitter Facebook importance in the eyes of Google and Bing.

That's Great

That's great, both the search engines are implimenting new things

They already have Image Search, Blog Search...

Why not simply add Twitter Search and Facebook Search?

The Fine Line

Even with real time indexing being a super cool feature of a search engine, I think that the line between disaster and brilliant when including Facebook and Twitter into search results is so fine!

It would be interesting to see if one search engine didn't include Facebook and Twitter in search results and see if their market share shifted positively or negatively.

Personally I think that it is great that it is being included for now to see how it works, but not sure if it should be a permanent inclusion.

twitter

man.. this makes me use twitter more often..

Facebook/Twitter Use May Now Mean More For Google/Bing Rankings

Becoming more engaging, actually becoming a real person on Twitter is what is going to win out in the end. The days of spammers running Twitter are over. Those automated tweets are going to go the way of spam email...straight to the junk folder with very little engagement or activity. This is a good thing!

Tweeting for SEO

I tested a few searches with the Bing beta. For the ones I did, the info was relevant. I then made a tweet to see how quickly it could be find. It was in about 2 minutes. That was pretty cool.

The question becomes though, would I have to tweet all day long to stay on top for the phrases we are optimizing for. It just seems like it will be come ridiculous. And how many people would choose a twitter search over a regular search?

I don't know, but a new SE is sounding good. For now I'll play with it and see what happens.

cd :O)

Tweet's

Excuse the pun about the spelling but that's about the top of the intelligence of most that use this Twitter! All talk and no listen. I may not be able to spell, but from most of those who use twit, We don't say much about their commonsense to get with reality about the whole global issues in life.

Other then being more concerned about their looks, self esteem and ego. Now please forgive me if I'm wrong, They obviously can be sold products but nothing else. They don't know how to give. But that's the way we see it. If the had any brains they would consider the following as something to think about or will it go over their heads. How about you?

Heading in all the news to day should read;

BUY OIL SUPPORT TERRORISTS! Your doing exactly that!

You can watch this short video on you tube,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrOrHL-2xYY

Don't believe me, then ask yourself who is financially supporting all these so called terrorists in the middle east? It's sure not the little guy. So your guess is as good as mine!

Would like to stop this? Then help the only research that is at least 20 years ahead of all the professionals in this field, to stop global warming and help put a stop to all this garbage you hear on the news and theft of all sorts, before the idiots loos complete control!

I think its a waste

Facebook and Twitter provide useless info, why include up to date crap into search engines. It doesn't matter though...the signing deals are all these companies care about anyway.

search results

I think the info on Facebook and Twiiter could be useful on search engines. Lets say you are headed on a road trip and you want to know how traffic, road conditions, etc are. You could do a search and find people talking about these things from twitter and facebook in real time.

Yeah, and I could just go

Yeah, and I could just go search on twitter for it too... Why muck up the REAL search results for everyone else with babble from twitter & facebook?

Do you think this is a good thing?

This all that we need to clutter up search engine results with more garbage.

Probably 99% of Twitter tweets are useless nonsense. The same goes for most postings to the FaceBook wall. It is just social chatter.

How could this possibly be a good thing? Do you really want all of the dribble from social networks to pollute search results?

RE: Do you think this is a good thing?

Couldn't you say the same thing about the web in general? There is a lot of useless nonsense out there. It's hard to say until we really see it in action, but I would assume that they'll try to keep things relevant.

hmm

thanks for sharing. I am glad to hear those news. Then there is more ways we could work for, not only for links.

LinkedIn boost organic rankings too?

Is it my imagination or when you update your status on LinkedIn regularly, do the search engines find it and boost your organic search.

Great..

Now, not only will the SERPs be cluttered by banal tweets, opinions and status updates by the growing number of online narcissists, soccer moms and 'casual' Internet users, but they will also be FLOODED with 'updates' by spammers and affiliate marketers galore.

I hope hope hope in a dorm room somewhere there are some bright kids putting the polishing touches on the next real search engine, because this is quickly getting ridiculous..

Great

I agree.

I agree.

I agree.

Twitter on Google and Bing?

Do I really need to know that Gregg Harris is having a ham and cheese sandwich today at Harvey's?

However, I might be interested in the fact that he was recently appointed CEO of XXXXXXXXXXX, Inc.!

Globbing Up Search Results

While this looks like a good tool for SEO efforts, look at it from the standpoint of a search user.

It's already a pain in the a...neck... to search for some business, news, research results, etc. and find 10,000 blog results in the way. How much further will this push really relevant information down in the search rankings?

I don't care about opinion. I don't care about cutesy twits. I want information, and this can only make it more difficult to find worthwhile information.
