by Patrick Altoft on October 27, 2008

For those of you yet to be convinced by the power that bloggers and Twitter users have over the Internet take a look at the screenshot below.

I know that Harrogate SEO isn’t a competitive keyword but I expected it to be a bit harder than this. Twitter is going to start popping up more and more on Google.

Vinay 28 Oct 2008 at 1:52 pm: Patrick, I have noticed many such “keywords” being dominated by Blogs/Twitters at Google and other search engines. But in the long term not really so. Google wants to deliver its user with fresh (& fast) contents and thus stresses more on Social Media & Blogs until these terms are found on generic sites, news portals & other websites.

Just google the term may be after few months and they (blogs & social media) would be ranking far below the those sites. I’ve tested this few times and found this to happen….!! Google doesn’t wants it users to get disappointed upon querying something and hence depends heavily on blogs and social networks to feed these ‘hungry’ users.

Helps a lot on short term goals.. def. not on a long term.. you can find authority and news sites taking the position.

Just my thought!

Kim McGinnis 29 Oct 2008 at 8:02 pm: I love blogs and social networking, although Twitter has not been that great from my experience. Maybe it’s because my site is more geared to the business person…? I love LinkedIn, and have gotten a lot of great traffic from them.
