Thanks for another informative site. The place else may just I get that kind of information written in such a perfect means? I have a project that I am simply now operating on, and I’ve been at the look out for such info.

These links even though they are nofollow will help in some way for seo.

just goes to show that good tips should be kept a secret. Anything that takes money away from the big boys will always result in a backlash. Well, at least twitter did not suspend your account.

That really sucks. I found this out but decided not to publicise it. Why can’t some people just keep quiet and let the good times roll? Hopefully there is a big lesson to be learnt from this

Wow, 100,000? That’s a real dent! It’s unfortunate that it happened so soon after that post was made – it would have been interesting to see if Twitter would of picked up on that bit by itself

It is interesting because, from Google’s point of view, Twitter is a valuable source of information. Once, as usual, you cut through the spam you will find a great deal of information on what people are reading, linking to, doing etc so why would Google want to ignore all of that.

If I were Google (I’m not!) I would look at a way of leveraging it for search engine rankings. At the end of the day all Google cares about is getting good results and if a site like Twitter is big enough to mine for information then why not? Who knows what goes on behind the scenes!

However my own view is that Twitter should be used for its intended purpose, or arguably not at all! The spammers on there certainly turn me off and no one can deny that they are starting to get a foothold on the site. If Twitter doesn’t act soon they may well see a downturn because of it.

This is a punishment that makes no sense. If thousands of people are using your application, then you deserve those links because you got them legitimately. Your application is popular, and you are being rewarded by people linking to it. A long, long time ago, this was called natural link popularity. Adding no-follow tags used to have a specific purpose beyond “I’m going to be a douchebag and ad them just because you pointed out that certain links on my site bleed juice.”
