I am just wondering, does people retweeting your site help your site rise in the serps? How to go after a specific keyword in a tweet?

    Just in time, I've stumbled across this website not too long ago. https://socialmediachimps.com/2012/0...ts-on-twitter/

    Towards the end, the author mentioned this:

    " It can also provide additional traffic to your website and improve your website’s search engine ranking."

    Read up on that website, I'm sure it will be pretty useful to you.

    Cheers,
    Jeremiah

    From what I have experienced they have to help some what, how much can't say though. They also serve to help generate traffic as well. I have played around with a few tricks to get others to re-tweet for me and only good things have come from it.

      When some retweets your post, it gains more exposure and traffic. This means that you will send your message to a wider audience. If you tweet about an interesting topic and people visit your site, some of them will share your content. This will help you build links and increase your rankings over time.

        I've spent the last 59 months building 412 MFA sites. Each site averages 8 cents per day...I said average, some make up to 17 cents per day, PASSIVE INCOME! This income allows me to live comfortably and buy ANY flavor Jolly Rancher or Skittles I desire. Don't give in to fear, it CAN be done!

    Social signals do have SEO value. They also give you more exposure, which is good.

    as long as they're also complemented by other social signals. Once I bought a retweet package (forget from whom), forgot to cancel the subscription and as a result I have 20K+ retweets and 130 FB likes, 65 G+s Does look abnormal :~) and this site absolutely got no boost in rankings.
    It would also depend on the kinds of accounts that give you the retweets, do they have a good following? or are they simply SEO company-bot created accounts just for retweeting?

    If someone retweet your web page then it is exposed among much more people and the traffic will get increased,although it is not necessary that traffic will surely increase it all depends on how much exposure it has gained.

    Yep but to see any sort of SEO value id imagine your social signals would have to be steady - googles algorithm is very, very complex!

    Retweets from real accounts with real followers can definitely help (but not directly in terms of SEO from what I experienced).

    But like other warriors said, you will be exposing your site/offer to a lot more people if it's retweeted by established/followed account.

    Just don't buy into the promise of getting rankings with retweets. That'll be a waste of money.

    Indirectly a large amount of social signals can really help.

    They do, yes. Even though Twitter links have 'nofollow', Google still considers this as "strong" social signals when re-tweets occur.

      Even if this was true, the effect would wear off pretty quick.

      Investing in getting Retweets is an iffy proposition.

    Yes in a huge huge huge way!

    I have seen absolutely no effect from likes and +1's but tweets rocket sites up the serps.

      That study is highly, highly flawed.

      It doesn't tell you which came first. The rankings or the retweets.

      Those sites could have all had outstanding rankings before ever receiving a single retweet. The retweets could be a result of the rankings, not the other way around.
