Not too long ago we mentioned to you that tweets were going to be indexed in search engines like Bing and Google. If you have ignored Twitter or felt as if it was not worth your time, now may be the time to consider taking advantage of this very useful social marketing tool.

It is very amusing when people make fun of Twitter and it can be misused the way any other networking tool can, but if you are serious about search engine optimization, then you should not ignore Twitter, especially now that it is being indexed and tweets can show up in online searches.

This means that while you may have a pay per click ad program and use reciprocal links, if the competition is on Twitter, they are able to be even more present online than you are. And you certainly don’t want that do you? You want interested new customers and even loyal current customers to be reminded of what you have to offer in as many ways as possible. That is what it means to increase your online visibility, something that the staff at Increase Visibility works hard to help our customers do, so if you need some help, we are here.

It can be a little intimidating to put yourself and your business out there into the Twitterverse (that’s the Twitter universe, for you newbies). So if you are nervous, first spend some time looking around Twitter’s public pages. Go to Twitter.com and do a search for topics that relate to your products and services to see what people are saying. Some of it will be relevant and useful and some of it won’t, but this will help you think about how you want to shape your own tweets once you start to participate.
