Anyone know if optimal Twitter use frequency for promoting a keyword i.e how much is too much
-
Have a Twitter account and theres much confusion over Twitters use of planting keywords into posts and have some SEO benefit from this.
Wondering if anyone has come accross an effective use of promoting keyterms on by twitter posting and how often is deemed okay?
Generally see some twitter users who are obvioulsy promoting keyterms for their buisness or company who put in as much as five to ten posts in any one day for the same keyword, or keyphrase. while this looks spammy surely this is liable to be flagged by the search engines?
Appreciate any insights on this.

The spam mindset works on the basis that enough will get through to make it worthwhile. I don't get it either...
FWIW, we're seeing increasing Twitter traffic to PRNewswire.com and we're experimenting with a mix of accounts. he full list is here http://www.prnewswire.com/contact-us/prnewswire-on-twitter/
There's also good case study on the SEO value of tweets here http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-tweet-effect-how-twitter-affects-rankings-12781
Good luck

Thank you for the adivce Rod. Though cant help but wonder how those who do post those numerous keyterm riddled posts in a day get on. Certainly they appear irritating, I'm sure, to most prospective followers but they continue to do it. Ive seen the automated kind (ugh the worst) and the spammy feeds. surely common sense would dicate that they should cease if theres no benefit? yet they continue, curiously why? I'm with you on the Human engagement value, but curiosity remains. Much appreciate your reply.

Keep it 'human' would be my advice. Search engines are looking for automated or spammy Twitter feeds and have said they give more weight to real people tweeting or retweeting over bots. So it's fine to do a few duplicate tweets, but don't just broadcast, be on hand to respond or thank people for their retweets.

Hi Eric, Much appreciate your reply, This is something that has been a source of uncertainty for some time.
Theres a new Twitter (follow/like) button which will be looking to implement as well as the new Google + 1 (although the code page reference for the button I received in a notification alert email didn't access the page). These should help a little too.

Don't be concerned with how often your account/s should tweet specific keywords and/or custom shortened URLs. Button up your on page factors first. Then, figure out how to let people know about your awesome pages and how to motivate them to share, and link, to them.
You can rest assured that having 5 or 10 small, but topically focused, Twitter accounts tweet your stuff once is more influential as far as social signals go than having your 1 large account tweet your own stuff 5 or 10 times.

Twitter and Facebook Back-link Aquisition procedure?
This is another novice question that I hope is easy to answer for someone out there. How do you get a backlink from twitter or facebook? Either Open Site Explorer is not recognizing my accounts or twitter and facebook are not reporting it for some reason. I have looked at other competitors and they have twitter and facebook that show up as linking to them. Do you have to do something special to get a link? Utah Tiger

Anyone have a great example of a confirmation page with a social element?
We're thinking of adding social elements to our confirmation page, which as of right now doesn't ask for any specific action. Might as well take advantage. i.e. "Tweet this" or "Share this" with a shortened link to the landing page. Does anyone have any great examples of Twitter/Facebook being incorporated into a confirmation page? Visually pleasing, striking, great copy? It can be a confirmation for any type of action, whether you've just bought something, subscribed to something, joined a site, anything really.

Tool/Method to find users on Twitter from a CSV file
I'm attempting to find users to follow and receive reciprocal follows for a client on twitter. Through the company's newsletter database, I have a CSV file of somewhere in the range of 20,000 email addresses and names. I've been importing them 250 at a time into an empty Gmail account then connecting that with twitter each time to find some of them. However, a lot of the PEOPLE using the email addresses on the mailing list are not on twitter but their COMPANY is. To find the company, I can obviously drop the name@ part of the email and just search by the domain but this becomes tedious real quick since it has to be one by one and cannot be bulk imported/searched. Are there any tools/ideas out there to more easily find twitter users based on a larger set of keywords and/or domain names?

Is facebook and twitter always a good idea to promote a website and improve Google rankings?
I'm attempting to promote a fresh seafood market / restaurant here on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I have not found a lot of examples of people using Twitter and Facebook to promote this type of business here. Is it hard to justify the time for return here? One benefit I thought for twitter is we could have tweets displayed on site giving us some dynamic content which would hopefully keep Google spider coming back more regularly is this correct? Is there any link building advantage to using these social media sites?
