Using Twitter For SEO And Reputation Management

Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

Twitter recently updated its Title tags to benefit users.

That’s kind of a big deal. Here’s why: If you want to rank well for your name then you should have several social media accounts. This is especially true if you have a common name. You are actually in competition with other Bill Smith’s.

Twitter putting your name first instead of its own name in the title tag is huge, because now YOUR name will be the term of primary importance to the search engines whenever they read that Title tag. New account holders or frequent Twitterers likely will not see page 1 results any time soon. But if you are a frequent Twitterer and you have an older account you will likely see your profile appear high in the search results. I just don’t know that I’d like it to be the first thing that people see.
