Have you seen this page? http://bingtweets.com/

I thought it was a very nifty merge between the two. From a SEO perspective, I wonder how this search engine can cause a shift in how companies tweet. What do you think?

Answering : if public social posts start showing up in search results, treat tweets as a discovery and distribution layer — not a replacement for on-site content. Use short-form posts to attract attention, then convert that attention into links, email subscribers, or traffic that your owned pages can rank for long term.

Practical tweet-level checklist:

  • Put the key phrase or brand word up front so it appears in previews and search snippets.
  • Use one or two relevant hashtags for discovery; avoid hashtag stuffing.
  • Include a concise, descriptive call-to-action and a visible URL (branded shorteners work best for trust).
  • Add an image or media when possible to increase engagement and click-throughs.
  • Vary wording across channels to avoid identical duplication of press copy.

Landing-page and measurement checklist:

  • Ensure the linked page is crawlable, has a clear canonical URL, and contains unique, value-rich content (don’t rely on the tweet as the only indexable copy).
  • Add proper meta tags/open-graph/Twitter-card metadata so previews are informative.
  • Tag outbound campaign links (UTM) to track social referrals and conversions in analytics.
  • Embed highlighted tweets on blog posts to create context and preserve conversational value.

Governance and strategy notes:

  • Echoing on live updates: use tweets for timely news, but convert short-term visibility into durable assets (articles, FAQs, whitepapers).
  • For brands (per and ): introduce approval processes, content calendars, and monitoring to avoid reputation risk when social content is surfaced in search.
  • Start with an audit of existing accounts and measure referral lift (as suspected, monitoring will show what actually moves the needle).

We all know that Twitter has it's own (quite nifty) search facility.
But MS and Confederated Media decided to compete directly with Twitter. Classic. Why has Google not provided this function?

Ps> for those who cant find BingTweets or too lazy for self testing.
