The issue of ‘tweeting’ your pages to boost their rankings is one that is gathering some serious pace at present. The concept of ‘tweeting’ your articles and then re-tweeting them using a platform such as ‘tweetdeck’ is one that is catching on, but what effect is it actually having?

In short – an extremely good one!  With the help of twitter, pages are actually ranking on the first page for such generic terms as ‘beginner’s guide’!

Via a system of the blogger ‘tweeting’ their story and then relying on readers ‘retweeting’ and ‘retweeting’, articles are getting extraordinary exposure and therefore ranking far higher than ever before.

Now, we all know that ranking isn’t the be all and end all. But twitter is not only having a brilliant effect on positions, but also traffic and we all know how fundamental that can be. We have noticed that ‘tweeting’ has given us traffic for keyword terms that were previously yielding zero hits.

Through the simple method of ‘retweeting’ the posts, you can get traffic to your pages over and over again.

So, for any of you out there publishing regular blogs in order to raise the Google ranking of your site and its pages, don’t miss the tweet train.
