Amplify your blog farm with Twitter and Twitterfeed

OK, let’s continue on in the same vein and talk a bit more about Twitter. Specifically, let’s talk about using Twitter to amplify your Blog, or (better yet) your blog farm.

If you’re using a tool like Datapresser, then you already have a healthy blog farm that is autoposting content and links for you.

Let’s say we’ve got 100 new pages of content going up everyday, and everything is running smoothly. Of course, we’re always interested in ways to get easy links to our new content, aren’t we?

Well, using Twitter and Twitterfeed.com, we can automatically get a twitter account to tweet each post as it gets published, for each blog in our blog farm. That, in itself, is no big deal: it’s precisely the intended use of Twitterfeed.com. But, it gets interesting when we consider the implications of last wednesdays post on leveraging Twemes.com for backlinks.

Here is a screenshot from the Twitterfeed setup page. This should describe what I’m getting at:

As you can see, by using the filter option, we can use Twitterfeed to have our twitter account for the keyword ‘leathershoes’ tweet any post that has ‘leathershoes’ in it. Further, every tweet that gets sent out will have the Twemes hashtag for #leathershoes, which means it will be reposted to m.twemes.com/leathershoes

Now, here’s where the idea gets kind of wonky. Twitterfeed makes your Twitter account tweet the Title, Description and URL of your new content. Unfortunately the URL is a Tinyurl link, which is bogus as far as Googlebot is concerned. You won’t get any linkjuice from this link. The way I see it, there are a few ways you can make this work.

My principal suggestion is this: Twemes will publish a URL in the body of a tweet as a live link This means you can set Twitterfeed to tweet just the description of the post and uncheck the box for including a link. Then you just include your own link by making sure the URL for the post is the first thing in the description.

Your other options are:

1) If you can create a small enough Tweme – eg: #baby – you’d then have 15 other characters to squeeze in your url which would link back to your blog (Obviously this is kind of limiting).

2) It’s not always about linking, sometimes its just about getting traffic & getting clicks. I almost shudder to suggest this, but you can always tweet into the most popular Twemes at the time, like #SXSW. You’ll start pissing people off and getting your scheme and network noticed pretty quick. I really dont suggest you do this.

Have fun!
