Well thanks for clarifying that for me. I have been going around Twitter trying to figure out what's all the fuss about it. What you said makes sense. I see lots of people offering to show lots of things and it all seems so much like the old spam type of stuff you'd get on your blog comments when that first started or earlier than that the posting on unregulated forums that were made up of a list of keyphrases with a hyperlink.

So the links are of no value whatsoever, SEOwise. That makes sense. Thanks again.

I guess it is simply because more followers mean more traffic and maybe more targeted traffic, which may help u with the CTR imo.)

Ok. Let me see if I have this straight. You set the thing up to go on auto-pilot and it spits out 140 chraracter messages at regular intervals. Some of these tweets will have that tiny url thing redirecting to your webpages. People that follow you will see this ad over and over again and sooner or later will visit your web site. Is that about it?

I was under the impression that bots were against the twitter rules. I know for a fact that paying a company to get you followers and that they post get more followers on your account is against twitter rules. CanadaFred I wouldn't use a bot unless you were sure it wasn't against the rules. heres a link to their terms http://twitter.com/tos and if you want you can follow their spam account named spam and other accounts that are official twitter accounts so you know whats going on.

Oh ya, it's spam for sure. I'd hope that I'd never sink so low as to auto-Twitter-spam the universe with my crap. Thanks for your concern though, I am mostly trying to figure out if there's a grey-hat SEO angle to all this tweety trend, because it looks like it which might be around for a while.

Actually, the reason I'm inquiring is that I'll do test searches for example, Canadian SEO expert and I'll find this twitter page with 66 followers, all with the default cross-eyed avitar and all apparently replicated profiles of the same Egyptian guy. The dude's heavily following himself. I am trying to figure out how it makes it into the top 10-12 even though the keyphrase isn't very competitive I still wonder: What makes this twitter page more special than the 400,000 webpages behind it in the ranks. Is it the 66 followers that boosts its position? If any links he spams out are no-followed, what am I missing? Is it the volume or relevancy of followers?

These types of ranking conditions drive me bananas. Anybody know what's going on with this?

Your welcome Fred. Here is the grey hat way to tweeting. As the Original Poster stated use keywords than people who are scum of the universe and do use bots to follow you will pick you up just by the words you use!! So heres a simple guide. I have like 5 minutes before college so it isn't in depth
1. use keywords in your 140 character tweets
2. try to tweet on your keyword topic but it's fine to tweet to friends cause you still show up in the live timeline.
3. add links in your tweets to your site or whatever your tweeting about.
4. don't use bots and be choosy of who you follow. Who you are a follower of. If you are a follower of a spammer that doesn't look so good so be careful.
5. try tweeting every few hours or if you don't have that much time a few times a day.
6. have fun oh I'll follow your tweets so just let me know your username

If I helped you I would appreciate it if you would give me some reputation.
