Twitter is one of the most popular social media platform bloggers use to promote their blogs.

Twitter has now around 330 Million active Monthly users for now. It happened in just a span of 10 years.

It is also a true fact that Search engines will consider social media signals like number of shares, number of likes and number of comments, to rank your blog.

So in today’s blog let me give you few tips on how to use Twitter effectively so that it will help to improve your blog rankings in Google or in fact in any other search engines.

So let’s dive into it:

I know a lots of bloggers who have a Twitter account for their blog.

But the saddest part is they do not keep it active.

They just created an account for the sake of creating one and forgot about it.

There are few other bloggers who just try to share their recent blog post in Twitter and just logout.

But my question to them is, are there followers to your Twitter account who can actually read that tweet which you shared in the form of blog post?

So, in order to get benefits from your Twitter account, you should make it active.

Try following people whom you think are your targeted audience. The best way to know your targeted audience is by seeing the Twitter followers of your competitors account.

When you follow others, there are chances that most of them will follow you back.

Also along with following, you also should like and retweet others tweets which you feel are interesting and relevant to your targeted audience.

This way you will make sure that your Twitter account is active.
