2. Using Twitter for
Your Link
Building

3. What people do not realize is that you
really can use your Twitter account to
help you out with your SEO
campaign. There are several different
ways of using Twitter for your link
building;

4. in fact, that you can build valid, real
and substantial links for your website
using your Twitter account. You will
be surprised at the high quality links
you can generate with these
methods.

5. Here are some tips on using
Twitter for your link building:
• The first and most indirect way is by
building relationships with people
on Twitter. Yes, it will take you a while,
but eventually you could wind up with
links from these relationships.

6. • Make a list of the top people in a
particular genre. Take a topic and reach
out to others, perhaps looking for the
best videos on the subject, and find the
Twitter accounts of the people that
appear in the videos. Use Twitter to
connect with them and also ask
everyone for the best videos on the
subject matter.

7. Once you gather all of these people you
can create your list of top people and
reach out to them once more in the
form of badges that they can place on
their website that link back to yours.

8. • Another way you might use your
Twitter account is by reaching out to
someone else. If they are tweeting that
they need something in particular, and
you can help them, do so! It could turn
around to them rewarding you with
promoting your site and your business.

9. • Bring stories together. Use your
tweets and posts on other social
networks and bring them together.
Find a program, such as Summify, that
will pull everything together that once
was little bits here and there to make
an interesting story that others will
start to follow and retweet, therefore
getting others to follow as well.

10. • Continued relationship building.
Nothing is more important than being
involved with and getting to know
others in your industry and following
them. You may just be able to suggest
links to them at times when they are
looking for something that they
missed. You have to constantly be
building on these relationships and
reach out to others around you doing
the same things.

11. • Create content to start answering
others’ questions. When you see
people all over your social networks
looking for the answer to something in
particular, you can create a blog or a
list that answers this question for
them, providing them with
links, video, etc. Building up these
kinds of things will continue to draw
attention to your Twitter and your
links.

12. • Testimonial time! Simply put, you let
people on the web know when you
really like their product or service, and
offer them a great testimonial. You will
most likely get a direct message from
them, and they will use your
testimonial on their site, plus begin to
follow you. You will get a direct link
back to your site from endorsing their
product.

13. • Partnerships. Once you have those
relationships built up, you can easily
go to any type of business and let
them know you like what they are
doing, and perhaps the two of you
could partner. You will likely get a
response because they know who you
are, and this will obviously cause
linking back and forth between you.

14. • With some creativity and some
patience, you can create the
relationships on Twitter that will get
you links from all different sources,
boosting your SEO campaign greatly.
