Twitter and Search Engine Optimization do they match up

Twitter and Search Engine Optimization

I was just reading a post on a dutch website that Google seems to love Twitter.
Probably because of the frequency that Twitter pages are updated.
Twitter of course is already witten about on numerous posts and Graywolff is doing some testing as well.

But what I was looking for was a way to let you as another Twitter put up a simple “Twit”or Micro-Blog post, or whatever you like to call it, that you are reading my Webpages of Blogs.

And the best part is that you can doe that via the coding on www.twitthis.com and you even have a WordPress Plugin to give you visitors that possibility.

If you use Twitter, you probably like to inform people on every move you make.
That is not really the kind of thing I am into, so you won’t see a Twitter widget here that is telling all about me…
That is not the Intrest I have, what I would like to know is:
- do I get more visitors via Google because of the high update rate of a Twitter page like http://twitter.com/hummerbie
- Do I get more back-links for my Yahoo rankings if other people “Twit” my pages?

So let see what happens in a week or so, and I will tell you about it, in the mean time:

I have had no luck with Twitter as an optimization tool…

It seems Jaiku is doing much better, at least for me that is.

I guess I have to read up on http://www.caroline-middlebrook.com/blog/twitter-guide/
