How Google and Twitter Deal Impact on SEO
Google recently announced it’s deal with Twitter to include tweets in there search results (to be release in the upcoming months). This is in direct competition with the current Bing Twitter deal and raises several questions about how Google will treat tweets.
Google will apparently show relevant tweets from twitter that will be useful to viewers. I’m sure there will be a complex algorithm developed to do this as Google give an example of skiing conditions at your favorite ski resort as a place where twitter results will show up.
So not all result will include tweets from twitter. One thing they did not announce was exactly where these tweets will be displayed. From past additions to Google search results we can only image they will show up at the top of the results, such as where Google’s map listings usually show up or at the bottom of the search results like where related search query links show up. Only time will tell which it is.
This placement of tweets can have a significant impact on SEO. Think about it if twitter results appear at the top of the results pages then users might be more included to click on or just read the tweets rather than to click on a site. I’m assuming you will be able to click on some sort of link associated with displayed tweets.
That also brings up another good question. Will Google display links as click-able from tweets? If so this could be a fast track to getting your site on the top of Google. All you would have to do is tweet about relevant subjects that show up in Google and include a link back to your site. It sounds pretty simple but we’ll have to see once Google releases tweets in their search results.

Twitter and Google have a prospective deal that could affect SEO
There is currently a prospective deal between Google and Twitter. If the deal pushes through, posts from the social networking site would be displayed on search queries. This has many implications for search engine optimization (SEO) marketers.
According to reports, the two companies are now negotiating to create a feed that would show posts from the social networking giant.
Reportedly, Microsoft is also involved in a deal that would integrate a full feed from micro blogs to the search engines.
Chris Thomas—a SEO expert—says that the deal will change the approach of SEO marketers, because Google would have access to a huge amount of web pages, which will bring more competition in the search market.
Thomas also said that a deal between Google and Twitter is logical, because Google has been responding to Twitter’s real-time search capabilities already.
He explains: “Google has responded to the real-time search thing by speeding up its indexing capabilities, but it’s just not quick enough to keep up with the likes of Twitter which has millions of tweets. Google robots can’t index everything and they need something like this to help.”
He continues: “My gut feeling is that to have this sort of deal there would need to be some sort of staticness or relevance to the tweet feed, because otherwise you’d just be getting spammed by millions of random tweets. If you were doing some sort of SEO strategy you’d need a tweet to your site if someone searched for you, that sort of thing.”
The prospective deal could cost Twitter several million dollars.
So far, executives from all the companies have not made any formal comments and statements regarding the prospective deal.
