There is a lot of hype and it seems to be the "social media du jour" but to me it lacks a second act; after you have let everyone know "What you are doing now", you are pretty much....done. Having said that, I do believe that at current, it is beneficial to add Twitter to your SEO arsenal as it is difficult to argue with the results. While I remain unconvinced that it will withstand the test of time, I don't see the harm in using all means available to further your SEO goals, and search engines seem to really pick up on it right now. I will say that when you start to see your results waning, I personally would probably shed the "tweets", and with the new found time, tag all your photobucket shots with targeted keywords, and never look back.

I think Twitter is totally hyped. Its a useful concept but only really celebrities or other standouts are likely to ever gain a huge following. What do you think of all the people who are telling people to use Twitter for Search Engine Optimization of their blogs etc? Yeah interesting take. I think Twitter is totally hyped.

What do you think of all the people who are telling people to use Twitter for Search Engine Optimization of their blogs etc?
