Build backlinks: how to get backlinks fast, using Twitter
I just read a great post about how to build backlinks using Twitter, using the only Twitter management tool that lets you create branded links.
The folks at MarketMeSuite got an email from an enthusiastic user. She’d used MarketMeSuite’s unique ability to let you customize the “via”link that shows up in every tweets you send out. (Usually that line says something like “via web” or “via tweetdeck”, but with MarketMeSuite, you can customize that line to link to your homepage or blog!)
Here’s a screenshot of one of letter writer Julia Hutchins’ tweets:
As you can see, that underlined “via” line is a hyperlink that takes people to her site about American history.
Now, obviously this is good for traffic (and good for sales, too!).
However, there is another reason to use MarketMeSuite to “brand” your tweets this way. As Julia explains via email:
“I’m noticing a lot of my tweet statuses that have my website address embedded are showing up in my google webmaster tools links. Pretty exciting! My website is showing 21,000 backlinks, and I’m seeing a ton of my ‘branded’ tweets there! MarketMeSuite may not only make taking care of three twitter accounts easy, it also may be really boosting my backlinks!”
You see, Google likes Twitter a lot, and picks up everybody’s tweets as part of the information it gathers all over the web.
And the biggest thing Google looks for when deciding how important your website is, is how many other people link to it. That is, how many “backlinks” that website has.
You can see where this is going…
With just a few minutes of “set it and forget it” work using the special features only available with MarketMeSuite, you can start getting thousands of backlinks to your site in the easiest way I can think of. Just use MarketMeSuite to customize your “via” line and you’ll build up backlinks quickly, using Twitter.
It’s worked for me:
I have a number of Twitter accounts and used MarketMeSuite to give them all a unique branded “via” line. Each hyperlinked “via” line links to a different site or blog I run. Sure enough, Google Webmaster Tools tells me each site has thousands of backlinks, and a huge number of those came from using this backlink building tactic.
One of my sites is only a few months old, but already has more than 7000 backlinks — and is #11 on Google for its keyword phrase.
(Hint: obviously use your keyword phrase in your branded “via” line. Google looks at this “anchor” text in every link to help sort out your site’s position in the search engine rankings, too.)
