Obtain seo-links via Twitter

From the standpoint of the developer, Twitter, thanks to the tremendous capabilities of its API looks promising application. Any malicious hacker could download one of the many libraries Twitter, connect to the API, to unload the popular topics and use them to user accounts invaded by uninvited spam tweets.

But let me explain, or better to quote Superman: "By the great force attached great commitment." Twitter is essentially gave each developer a huge opportunity by opening access to its API. Perhaps you will say that every API has this quality. Nevertheless, having a huge audience and a huge amount of content, Twitter at the moment ahead of the rest. At least until then, until Facebook API does not do his quest (if they do).

From the standpoint of business, API and Twitter's term, in the cunning use it to distribute their content.

Several months ago I wrote an article on a topic that has attracted considerable attention and was protsitirovanna more than 100 tviteryanami that is not so much in rasvnenii with other popular articles published on the Internet. But then there was something shocking.

With the button «retweet» the service Tweetmeme I could get a short link that is used for its publication in Twitter. I also spread the story, using their own short link. Having the two links, one created on the site and another, created by his own hand, I set up Google Alerts so as to monitor the activity of citation of both.

If we consider a variety of Web applications, desktop applications and clients for Twitter and, accordingly, a variety of ways to publish tweets, it becomes clear that the short reference when quoting will be changed and thus prevented my attempt to trace their fate on the Internet. To counteract this, I installed a script that checks each day searching Twitter API to quote my article. Then I gathered up all the links it finds tweets. If the link is flashed more than once, I began to watch her in various ways, including Google Alerts.

Idea was to identify every trace left of my article on Twitter. Fortunately, now, quick links are used mainly for Twitter, which allowed me to avoid the potential impact on these other sites.

What I found - a huge opportunity to get back links using Twitter.

You may recall that a link to Twitter are not important for seo, as the service uses the attribute «nofollow» for all links and this is true. Many of my friends who advise companies on search engine optimization litter theories that even if the link is present, this attribute, it still conveys some weight, though not great. True or not, I do not know. But valuable links from citations tweets are not seo-links.

The value of Twitter's API is that it provides free access to your content to millions of developers around the world.

Let's play. You - a cunning marketing specialist, and I - very inventive programmer. You do not know me, and I you.

Say you have published information about Google Wave on a corporate blog and asked his young assistant to publish a Twitter link to your article.

Immediately after your specialist will post a link, I'll make a request via Twitter search API (the beauty of real time) on the theme «Google Wave» and received in response to your tweet. Since I am a collector of content, my clever little script will copy your tweets from Twitter into my local database, Spars link to the post in your blog, and remove the shortened link. I will take the title of your article and publish the results on its website.

Visually, the resulting tweet like this:

JoshuaOdmark: Is Google Wave the next best thing? We think so ... http://9mp.com/Yxe

And the result on my site will be the following:

Google Wave Drips With Ambition. A New Communication Platform For A New Web.

The key is to keep your tweets published in the largest possible number of third-party applications. You can achieve this by extracting as much as possible retweets their posts.
