For some reason when I was editing we ended up with a much smaller image than before, but as I have more videos coming uploading and publishing as it is. The sound is a little poppy as well as I boosted it maybe too much.

To be honest those 2 million indexed search results pages are just a drop in the ocean compared to the total number of pages, & what Google tells you externally, whether .com or .co.uk rarely are the same as what they tell you in Webmaster tools.

Another interesting point of reference are the 48,000 pages on Twitter indexed discussing Viagra and where to purchase it, though some of those probably point to malicious sites.

Current linking structure helps rank porn pills and casino spam accounts that have been around for a year – who’s commercial interest?

Please note: With the next 2 videos I am going to take it up a gear, look at the linking structure of individual profiles and how to maximise your Twitter SEO.

    That’s very interesting. I always get numbers that differ depending on what I use to collect them (ie Google versus my browser’s add-on) Thanks for sharing!

    Your recent blog posts brings up some good points but more interesting is how it causes me to re-evaluate my time on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. I have found personally that I enjoy working these sites as well as using then to establish my business. It has been a tool that I can dedicate a little time each day and still produce results. SEO is something that I’m rather new at and certainly enjoying learning more as time goes on. Keep up these great posts, I learn something new every time I read them from various blogs.

    2M is a drop in the bucket to what twitter really has. its funny to see the differences that google results show when you type Site:twitter.com vs Site:www.twitter.com. Just goes to show how undependable google can be at tiems.

    Good day,
    As far as I understood from different SEO articles, there is only one link in Twitter profile which is indexed by Google. Could you, please, confirm if there are any other possibility/ secret to make more links in Twitter to be visible for search engines.
    Thanks in advance.

      Twitter is so poorly indexed it doesn’t really matter – the only link I know is on the mobile version

    I think Google indexes the profile link, and any people in the “people I follow” box. That’s why it spreads page rank about so effectively. Get a Twitter account with even just 300 followers, and it’ll be PR4 or 5 within a few months.

    Every other day I hear about people using twitter and benefiting from it. To be frank I have never bothered to use it to my full potential. Twitter and Facebook somehow does not go with me. May be one day I can master this too. I look forward to read more of your posts.
