Exploiting Twitter for backlinks

As most of you know by now, I <3 Twitter.

I use my main twitter account for legitmate purposes, but I’ve also been tinkering with ways you can exploit twitter for your own gain. You see, Twitter is easy to automate because their API is so easy to use. There are TONS of different sites and services out there that leverage twitter, republish tweets and so on.

A good example is twemes.com.   Twemes aggregates tweets that employ the same phrases preceded by hashtags – also known as an Octothorpe, thanks Luc :) – for example, right now a really hot tweme is #SXSW.

And you know what? Twemes doesnt use nofollow tags for their links.

You might consider leveraging this site as a link dump by creating a handful of different twitter accounts and creating new memes for yourself along your keywords. Your tweet might be something like, “#leathershoes this site is awesome http://www.leathershoes.com” then if you were to goto twemes.com/leathershoes, guess what, there’s your link. I made an example here.

This is just the first of many different ways you can exploit twitter for your own devious results. I’ll try to write more on this topic in the future.

Later!

PS: I should mention this one last thing: When I create a new link, at twemes or anywhere else, I like to promote it to the SE’s. Everyone has a different approach to this…personally, I use SQUIRT. When promoting the twemes linkdumps, I like to use the mobile page (m.twemes.com/yourpage) because there is less crud for the bots to choke on….
