Why Your Online Business Needs Twitter In 2010

If you are sitting on the Twitter-sidelines, it’s now time to hop on board—Twitter just got a whole lot bigger. Here’s what happened:

October 21st, 2009, Microsoft signed a deal with Twitter to include Tweets in real time in their search engine results.

And if that isn’t big enough for you, get this, not to be out-classed Google quickly followed suit. Straight from Google’s blog: ‘we are very excited to announce that we have reached an agreement with Twitter to include their updates in our search results….we look forward to having a product that showcases how tweets can make search better in the coming months.’

What does this mean for us internet marketers? It means we better get our butts on Twitter right now.

First, there will be a lot more traffic going to Twitter. If you are in a specific market, and people are doing keyword searches, twitter feeds will now be showing up in search results. Thus, you best be putting keyword specific twitter posts up regularly or you will be missing a boatload of free traffic.

Second, this is real-time search. The internet has already shortened the gap between ‘event’ and news story release—but now, millions of tweets going directly from cell phones to indexed in search engines? That’s a whole new creature.

What this means is that you can tap into the latest fads immediately by posting tweets on specific topics as they arise. You will be able to access millions of searches just by tweeting! This is a marketer’s paradise.

Further, you can leverage your businesses and blog posts a lot more efficiently now that Twitter is being indexed by the biggest search engines. Due to the viral nature of tweets, your links can be posted on many accounts in a matter of minutes, which will greatly increase your search results and exposure.

The bottom line: Twitter just became an even bigger player in the world of marketing. If you aren’t leveraging your business with twitter yet, you need to stop reading and start tweeting!
