In Twitter, shared links have the “No-Follow” attribute which means that when somebody clicks on your link, it has absolutely no effect on your page ranking. So, does it mean that Twitter has no search engine optimization value? NO!
The only known search engine that doesn’t comply with Google’s “No-follow” at all is Ask.com, which shows that Google is not the only search engine optimization you do for search engines.
Because optimizing a site is about creating and promoting content that can be regarded as a resource, you then understand that “Creating” is “onsite SEO” and “Promoting” is “offsite SEO” which gives you value.
One of the best workarounds to do is create your own URL Shortening Service like ReTwurl.com, create your blog in a sub-folder and then post rewritten URL’s with the necessary keywords on the link which will of course ensure they are discovered by the various search engines.
Here’s some other great tips on optimizing Twitter for SEO.
