Just trying to find out everyones opinion on twitter and the best way to use it?
What is your opinion on Twitter, should i include customers past work, to develop a portfolio?
Keep it relevant, or just use hundreds of ###!! Will this not just become spammy?

Personally I will begin by following any accounts I feel may be influential or interested in the field I am marketing. Out of 'Twitter courtesy' you will see roughly 20-40% of these follw you back. If there are any particular accounts I want to follow me I will mention one of their previous tweets before following them. That tends to work to an extent.
Once I have a following, with the companies actual Tweets I tend to Tweet articles, videos, pictures etc that are relevant to their interests e.g. An article on 'Podiatry vs Chiropody' with each of the terms hashtagged.I'll only hashtag certain words I think are relevant to the tweet.
Rather than RT other tweets I mentioned the person and put the Tweet via @whoeveritmaybe.
Also I find it important to add some sort of opinion to the informational tweets. It gives the account an element of humanization rather than just looking like a bot pushing out articles.
Also important to respond to any mentions no matter how negative/random they may seem at the time.
This is quite an over simplisation (and there are a lot more things I do) of what occurs but I think you get the jist of what I'm getting at
P.S - I wouldn't use hundreds of hashtags - I think even though you'll appear in more #searches# it will reduce the chance of followers engaging and any click throughs on content you're pushing

Sam,
I am not a Twitter expert by any means but I will tell you my thought on how to: Don't get the feeds and inundate people with every piece of news no matter how relevant it might be to the genre you are in. When I look today at those who have capitalized on Twitter with envy, it is the ones who use it intelligently and personalize it. They are not just Tweety birds with no music, they are putting out tweets to individuals as well as on the whole. They are not tweeting 50 i am here, there, looky, looky. With moz, they occasionally tweet check this out. With some of the really good SEO's who are great bloggers they will mention others when they see something good and relevant.Early in the craze we put up a site (I won't tell out of embarrassment) and our social dept (one person) decided that we would put a feed, get it out, etc. It worked in terms of ego gratification in that in a couple of months we had nearly two thousand followers. But we didn't. We had two thousand who said they were for whatever reason.
Again, keep it simple, keep it relevant, humanize it. Target it to the audience you serve and make them want to see it. Make them want to know: What's Sam thinking today?

Twitter cards - one account, various domains?
Hi guys, I have a number of events run by the same company, all with their own websites. For a number of reasons, these individual events don't have their own social channels. Instead, the company's main social channels are used to promote the events wherever possible. I want to implement twitter card markup into each of the sites and associate the markup with the company's main twitter account. Does anyone know whether it's possible to get twitter cards approved for one account across multiple domains? I'd hate to apply for one site using the account, only to find out I can't apply for others! So before I venture into the unknown, was hoping someone could shed some light on this. Cheers 🙂

Building links to a Twitter/social account
I've seen plenty of articles about using Twitter to build links, but how about building links to a Twitter account? Does registering on sites and directories like Topsy, Twellow and Klout help? We can link to Twitter accounts on our own websites and other social profiles, and use it as our link on blog comments etc, but is there anywhere else specific?

Best strategy for optimizing Facebook annotations in Bing & Yahoo
My website has a page on Facebook with around 32K connections, these are not showing up in Bing's serp annotations because Bing is not associating my page with the website. Unsure why because I have closed loop links and used their Page Like Box to generate those 32K connections. I have Facebook insights and Bing webmaster tools authorized for the domain Does anyone know how I can ensure Bing makes that connection? If that's not possible, would it be more advantageous to drive likes to my sitewide domain or specific pages? My testing on Bing suggests the domain level like is most likely to trigger annotations, even for deeper pages with no specific likes. http://ministry-to-children.com/ http://www.facebook.com/MinistryToChildren

How much power does using keywords on Facebook and Twitter have from an SEO perspective?
Hi all, When we add a new Christmas party package onto our website I always tweet about it with a link to the party page, utilizing a tweet such as : "New Manchester Christmas parties", followed by the link. How much power (if any) does utilizing the key phrase Manchester Christmas parties have on SEO for that page? Bearing in mind the link is shortened and doesn't mention the keywords anywhere in it, they are only present in the tweet itself. Similarly, on our company Facebook page I always post a link with a title such as "check out our new Manchester Christmas parties". Does this have much SEO benefit for the page I'm directing the link to? Many thanks!!
