Twitter and Google What Changes to Expect
Posted on 01. Aug, 2009 by admin in General
Google has been a powerhouse almost from day one. It is now the most popular search engine, and the one to set most of the new rules when it comes to search engine optimisation. Blogging, videos, and social media sites have been imperative to SEO. Twitter is the latest fad to enter the market. Everyone seems to be twittering that has a website. Many television celebrities, new channels and other celebrities are using Twitter.
Twitter has grown in the last few years to be huge, and this has gained the notice of Google. Google spokesperson Eric Schmitt has not mentioned Twitter outright, but does refer to the concept as micro blogging. It seems Google may not want Twitter to have the same branding power, but it may not matter since they are doing great on their own.
Experts in the field of SEO are trying to determine if Google will add their own micro blogging option much like Twitter. Twitter has a search option, but it is nowhere near the power of the top three search engines. Many believe that if Google does enter into micro blogging they would make improvements on the Twitter platform that are falling short. Already we know Google has the power to step into the micro blogging world, but the question is will they?
Time will tell, but one thing is for certain. If you want to optimise your website you will want to use all resources available including Twitter. Twitter allows you to get noticed by others. They can follow you, you can follow them, and your own site will get out there. Until Google decides on the micro blogging thing you should at least be on Twitter helping to advertise. Millions of website owners are already there hoping for links and more consumers to find them.
