Tweet Archive
-
I'm planning to create a Tweet Archive on my WordPress install.
Ideally each tweet would be a separate entry in the database. That would mean that each one could essentially have it's own page.
I think that if each had it's own page though, it would just create a very deep site with super shallow almost non-existant content.
I am pretty sure I know the answer to this, I'm just looking for some substantiation...
Should I just keep it as a list and not have each tweet exist as a separate page?

Ah, so it was me! You are absolutely correct, my apologies.
Of course, if you only wish to follow the outgoing tweets from an account you control then there would not be any spam concerns.

Thanks Ryan,
Just for clarity, the topic was brought up by you. "By keeping tweets as their own posts, I can update them real-time and easily remove spam."
And for some further clarity, this idea of archiving would only be to archive tweets that I have produced, not tweets by anyone else.

You brought up the topic of spam in your first reply to me. By spam, I am thinking you are referring to undesired content.
It is common for tweet trackers to follow hashtags associated with their site. For example, you may have a site which talks about corvettes. As part of your tweet tracker you may follow the #vette has tag. It would not be uncommon for someone to tweet an inappropriate tweet to #vette. You probably would want to filter that tweet out of any data you collect.

I still think I'm a little unclear where the spam will be an issue. On your website? On Twitter?
How does the spam you're talking about show up?
Thanks!

If you only follow activity from a tweeter, let's say SEOmoz for example, then you are pretty safe.
If you include any tweets to SEOmoz or mentions of SEOmoz, then you are opening yourself up to the world and anyone can say anything. Since SEOmoz is a reputable group, you will still most likely be ok, but occasionally can encounter an issue.
If you actually follow a hashtag such as #SEO, then you open yourself up even further to spam.

Thanks for the response Ryan.
What spam would you be dealing with if they were just an unordered list?
-
I currently have a Tweet feed. All tweets which match my search criteria are posted to my site in a forum section just for this purpose. By keeping tweets as their own posts, I can update them real-time and easily remove spam.
This process could be expanded upon by having an end-of-day cron job which takes all the individual posts and compiles them into a single daily summary.

Business Tweets Showing up Organically
Question. I've noticed in the past and more recently that if you search a business (example: Adidas) in Google, you'll see their activity on Twitter being displayed organically. How can you get your business to show? I also did some research and found that some business that have their tweets displaying are not Twitter verified. I though that may have something to do with it...I guess it doesn't. Does anyone know what "triggers" a business to have their tweets show up organically. When you search Adidas, you'll see their business info, then the twitter carousel (displays 3 tweets and a arrow to view more). Thanks for your help. 102GB

Is it possible for a twitter user to automate a response to a tweet that I marked as a favorite?
If favorited a tweet of someone I don't know very well and received a response within a few minutes of the tweet asking "where have you been and what are you up to". Seems general enough to be automated and not specific enough for me to think it was personally sent by the user. Thank you.

Is constant contact a good source for seo links? how about best of the web? Is tweet angels a smart move? anybody got a good list of strong DA and PA link companies you can do business with and also get strong follow links from? thanks...
Thanks for all you guys do I am writing because I am trying to build a company's SEO link profile with links that have super high, and super stable Domain and Page Authorities (as well as solid Trust and Citation flows). I do this organically and even build my own sites using moz strategies - BUT, I am in need of your best advice: What are some links you can "buy" (as a result of using services from) that are strong and dofollow? Is Constant Contact good? Is Best of the Web good? tweetangels smart? I have seen several businesses with constant contact links (very high domain authority) on their profiles and as the head of business development for a mid-sized marketing firm, I want to see if constant contact, botweb, etc. are smart sources to put my clients on for the sake of the seo profile links - I am looking for strong, long-term perma-bumps for my companies and don't want to miss out on low-hanging fruit (that won't poison me in the end). Can you speak to that please? Do you guys have a list of directory links or 'whatever' links that are "get-able" by a regular guy like me that are not simply 2.0 nofollow? Thank you Ben

Best way to capture traffic from tweet pictures
I tweet a lot from several twitter accounts, and have a lot of traffic from my tweet pictures. However, I'd like to capture that traffic on my blog. I've tried a few plug in's that allowed me to use my blog has a host for the images I tweet out, but I've yet to find one that works very well. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas / suggestions on how I could send the traffic from all of the pictures I tweet out to my blog? Also, I don't want this to clog up the home page. At one time I used a plug in that allowed me to do something like this, and I created a separate category (http://noahsdad.com/twitter) and excluded that category from my home page. There were a few issues though, the formatting didn't work well for people viewing the pictures on twitter. And the plug in conflicted with other plug ins I was running. I haven't tried it in a while, so maybe it works better now. I hoping someone out there was some suggestions. thanks!

Sorry! I am not understanding how a Re Tweet helps with any lift in rankings.
Does anyone have an infographic to explain how social media increases any lift in the SERP's. I just am not grasping how if I re tweet a link that the search enegines see this and say "this must be important" let rank it higher.. Where is the Social Media Moz Guru?

Tweet or ReTweet?
So which is better for SEO, Tweets or ReTweets? We have a tweet button on our blog which seems to work pretty good. But I have noticed a few sites that instead of tweeting, they have a ReTweet button where you are actually ReTweeting an original tweet. Any thoughts?

So if I wanted to monitor tweets about Lady Gaga and limit it to Austin, TX how would I filter this?
And lets say I wanted to do this over an extended period of time. And for bonus credits... is there any program that would notify me of each new tweet as it happens.
