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....

Yea this is awesome. Mind posting other resources, except twemes, that may use twitter api?
Btw there's a question still, how would you raise account page ther. Wheter internal linkage would allow it.
Comment: Great post and method.
Comment: This is all fine and dandy, but unless you have links pointing to that page it won't get indexed. Sure SQUIRT is ok, but hasn't Eli removed it? No internal links on Tewme will point to it... how about doing some cycle sites *cough cough* and redirecting once they've garnered a few thousand links? "online slots" on google... 3rd result, Digg page with 8 diggs? hmmmm, now we're getting somewhere ;)

Comment: really interesting find, but what are the odds of them nofollowing all of those in one swoop?
