Twitter Profile Link Building

If you do not have a Twitter account, now would be a great time as any to signup and setup your account. I’m about to fill you in on a  little secret you do not want to miss.

Get FREE backlinks using your Twitter profile. There are websites that will link back to your website automatically by using the information found in your Twitter profile. Now, if you do not have any links in your profile, you will not get anywhere with this link building method. So, before I fill you in on this little secret, go to your Twitter profile, edit and add a link back to your website. You can add it in the space titled “Web” and you can also include a link to an inner page or another site in the bio. I advise adding a link to both because some of the sites grab the link from your bio, while others grab the link from your profile info.

One more thing to note – some of these sites may ask permission to access your twitter account. If this makes you uncomfortable, you can easily go to your settings and click “revoke access” next to any app you do not approve of.
