I wrote a post lately about the emerging importance of social networking in search engine traffic and how significant that is for receiving high-quality results. Specially, I was looking at Twitter and why Google will be starting to use Twitter to advance its own results.
That article was essentially part one of a sequence. And as though Google was trying to prove a point, a point which was in agreement with what I was writing, within 15 minutes of striking the publish button in WordPress the Google bot had visited the brand new post and cached the site.
That, I think, is thanks to a little plugin that is embedded in my blog. I found a incredible plugin that automatically sends an update to my Twitter account every time I publish a post to my blog. A unbelievable find! It is one of many related plugins on offer, but it did just what I wanted. Nothing more, nothing less.
It was wonderful that this new blog, which up to that time I had struggled to get posts listed on Google, was suddenly having its posts listed in no time. And it is not the only one. A second blog is also reacting similarly promptly using the same method.
This does not imply that this little pluggin is the super golden bullet that will get every post listed on Google in 15 minutes. Far from it. I also installed it into a third blog, without the same achievement. But this is not a sign of malfunction. In fact, it is a mark that the system is functioning in a way that I expect it to and with a bit of luck I am following how they are functioning.
How to best use Twitter for publicising blogs is maybe far more than the space remaining here. In fact that subject in itself is in all probability a couple of sessions and I’ll work through it over a couple of days in my own blog, if you are concerned to follow it.
But the results of the speedy way that the blog posts have suddenly started appearing on these two blogs shows that there are rewards to be had by using Twitter in conjunction with a blog. It’s not just a matter of setting up a blog and a Twitter account and having done with it, there is a slight amount of work to be performed on both. But it is effortless.
The idea is, if you are a website owner and want to produce more visitors to your website, then these are techniques you can use without any technical skill. Whether you be in command of the design of your website or whether you have paid someone like me to design and run it for you, depending on these methods you can make new interest in your services or posts and with any luck more sales through this extra traffic.
This is what these social networking methods are regarding, in my opinion. They are not regarding spending a fortune to get traffic. They are on the subject of making an interest in you that will arrive at your website all set to buy from you. It is something anyone can do!
