How to best set up Twitter personas...
Connecting with different groups of people, for different clients.
There are even crossovers most notably in Graphic Design Industry 2 different clients want to engage with Graphic Designers.
Would prefer to handel all through my own account but don't want people to think huh SEO guy he just cares about links.
Best way forwards seem to be to set up client specific accounts?
Any thoughts?

Then it is not a twitter persona which is the act of playing a social role. In this case you are just playing a natural social role and should have no problem interacting with said designers.
Anyways I looked at your twitter profile, I think it would be fine. Since you describe yourself as a Web Designer on here, you should also describe that on your twitter profile. From a professional stand point, using your personal account will put more of a face on your account when you socialize with users. I think @justinmarch would be better off than using an account like @BestWebDesignerEvar.
As long as the method of approaching someone clearly outlines your objective, you should have no problem. Don't lead people to figure it out for themselves. We are all lazy and the amount of people that will research you because you did a @reply to something they said will be far less than a direct message complimenting on their design work that you took time researching.

Thanks for replying..
Started as a Graphic Designer so no faking involved.
In fact thats exactly what I don't want.
I do want to approach people from a social perspective first and foremost, not a link building perspective, which is why I feel my existing account may not be wholly appropriate.
Anyone have any experience of this?
Perhaps I'm wrong and I should use my own account, what do you think?

To interact with designers, I would not think you should fake being one. Not sure how you would pull it off.. but I would show interest in their work to interact with them. I doubt they will follow you just for claiming you are a designer.. Heck they might think Huh? this dude is going to rip off my ideas. Maybe you could look at their personal sites and offer some SEO critiques for exchange of some Design critiques, that may build a relationship between the two of you!
I'd say the best way to represent a quality twitter profile is to be yourself, of coarse with objectives in mind.. whether it be the sheer number of followers or the highly targeted group of relationships. Do exactly that of a person that you would follow yourself.
If you do go on to creating specific accounts you could use tools like 'tweek deck' or 'hootsuite'! those are really good for managing multiple twitter accounts.
Hope this helps and good luck!!

How do I follow more people on Twitter?
Hi my Moz friends, I like following all of you, a lot! Because I like following you all so much, but not so many of you like following ME, I have been cut off by Twitter and I'm not allowed to follow any more people until I have more people following ME. Sad Face I am sure that more than a few of you have been in this scenario. What should I do? I could dump 10-20 followers but that 's not going to be enough to pacify the Twitter Gods! Thanks guys, Dana

Twitter inbound link not being indexed
Hello Mozzers! I was using open site explorer to investigate inbound links to our company website and also to our competitors. The main difference being is their top links are all coming from twitter - where as ours aren't. Now our twitter account is about 10months old maybe more and it's got the standard setup with a description and the URL. We've also been tweeting with a link directly to our site. Yet no luck? Am I missing something? Thanks, Dan

SEO with facebook and twitter
Hi all, It's become more apparent to us all going forward after the panda update that social signals are becoming more and more important in regards to SERPS. Our website is www.capitalalist.com and is gaining a decent amount of traffic from Twitter. www.capitalalist.com/twitter and we have managed to work out what works for us on twitter and what doesnt allowing us to interact with our followers more and more. The problem is facebook. Direct marketing doesn't work here. Our page is www.facebook.com/capitalalist but we are struggling to get any traffic or interaction with our friends. Any advice on how to market properly for facebook for seo purposes? Thanks in advance.
