The Top Twitter Mistakes your SEO Marketers Do

Online Marketers pay attention. I don’t know who you have been talking to and who has been helping you make it on twitter but if they tell you to do one the things listed below then they don’t understand seo social media marketing, and don’t listen to them.
1. Don’t follow thousands of people that don’t every follow you back on Twitter. Nothing screams out “spammer” more than this. Just add people naturally at a normal pace, with in time you will build a nice amount of followers organically, so don’t rush out and start following 1898 people in one day.
2. Don’t use Auto-Follow back immediately after someone start following you on Twitter. Don’t use Tweet Later. You’re not going to get so many followers over night that you need to use this. Just don’t use anything auto on Twitter, be a real person.
3. Don’t do URL-Stuffing in your bio on twitter. Just put your web site URL where it should be just like everyone else on Twitter. Everyone has a web site. If you give good value on your tweets then people will click and go to your web site.
4. Don’t pitch people your product or service in your bio on Twitter, all that will do is drive people away. Social media is about being social, not going around and pitching everyone.
5. Don’t sell in tweets. You may be asking yourself, what is this guy talking about, isn’t that what they are there for? Flat out the Answer is NO. They are on twitter to build relationships and network with people by providing value, which latter on may lead to a sale indirectly. You can tell people that your product is available not by selling but by giving value.
If I would sum up all these points I would say just act like a normal person as much as you can. Provide value as much as possible. Providing value on your tweets is the best thing to do on all your social marketing profiles in all of your online marketing
The most successful internet marketing people on Twitter are primarily not doing any of these things. You want to mimic them to help your success in your SEO Online Marketing Efforts.

 

great tips. Thank's for sharing.

 

Thanks for the information!!!!

 

Thanks for advice. I must say I did some of the mistakes myself already

 

I have done all the mistakes you point out. I am still using Twitter and getting more friends.

 

If you're using twitter for SEO, you're making a mistake in the first place.

 

How can twitter be used for SEO? All external links in twitter is with no follow attributes, so it couldn't be used for SEO anyhow (maybe expect yahoo). You are giving advices and don't even know what are you talking about I think...

 

Excellent write-up -- very good info!

Definitely, Twitter is not for SEO.

By the way, is your original post? Please don't be offended, as I think this is helpful for a first timer here at DP.

But if this is not yours, I suggest you include a link to the original post.

 

Nice post dude. For me, twitter is a fun social networking site.

 

I agree with the point about not following hundreds of people. When I see that people follow thousands and are only followed by a few, I just assume that they are spammy even when they could be completely genuine. I also tend to un-follow people who tweet too much about the same thing, or just barrage you with links even if they are not necessarily their own.

 

Great post.

Thanks for the valuable info

 

nice tips there, also I want to add sharing too much personal stuff on Twitter is a BIG NO.

 

What do you consider too personal on twitter? Are you talking about giving away identity info or just remaining professional to potential business contacts?

 

interesting stuff...

 

why would you say twitter is not good for SEM..
You can use it as link bait just like any other network

SEO is what you do to your own site.. no other site will effect your own sites SEO
