If you want to get the maximum benefit out of the content that you create on Twitter and promote your profile to the entire world, it’s time to start promoting your static Twitter pages.

Not everyone is aware of this fact, but Twitter creates a static URL for every message that’s posted to the network. And with a little extra work it’s possible to improve the SEO potential of your Twitter account.

Now are this stage, you may be asking yourself why you would want to spend time promoting content that already exists on your main Twitter profile, and in the timelines of all your followers. Good question.

These pages can rank extremely well in the search engines (especially since the main Twitter domain has such a good reputation with the search engines), allowing hundreds and thousands of additional people to discover your Twitter posts. All you have to do is point a few links to these static pages and wait for the results.

The pages already exist, the content already exists, so it only takes a little extra effort to leverage the massive power of the search engines to extend your reach beyond Twitter. This will help to promote any links in your message and your Twitter profile to a much broader audience.

So with that in mind, let’s get started.

Step 1: Find Your Twitter Static Pages

The URLs for static pages on Twitter are hidden away in a rather obscure place (perhaps that’s why so few people use them). There are several ways to find this information, so we’ll use the quick and easy option.

Login to your Twitter account then click the profile link at the top right of the page. Scroll down the page looking for the orange RSS icon in the right hand column, below the matrix of picture showing some of the people that you follow.

Click the link which should say “RSS feed of USERNAME’s updates”. This should take you to the RSS feed page for your Twitter account showing the last 20 messages that you’ve posted. If you want to view more than the last 20 messages, click subscribe at the top of the RSS page and subscribe to your Twitter feed using a feed reader such as Google Reader.

Clicking on any of the links will take you to the static page for that message. Collecting the URL is then just a case of copying the address in the URL bar at the top of the browser.

For example, the RSS feed for the @powersystem Twitter timeline can be found here; http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/18032292.rss and at the time of writing, here is an example of a static page for one of our most recent posts; http://twitter.com/PowerSystem/statuses/1174519649

Step 2: Promote Your Twitter Static Pages

Once you’ve got the URLs of the static Twitter posts that you want to promote, you can apply all the traditional and social media techniques.

Include the links on your social media profiles, squidoo pages, hubpages, your website, blog, article bio boxes, audio/video sharing networks, forum sigs, social bookmarking etc

The more relevant links that point to each static page, the better they will rank in the search engines for the keywords contained in the message and the anchor text used in the promotional links.

However, due to the balance between effort and reward, it’s best to limit your promotions to your best Tweets which contain keywords likely to attract search engine traffic.

Get creative and before long you could have several additional pages ranking well in the search engines helping to pull you towards social media success.

Use the comments feature below to post your best static link. It will help your page to rank better in the search engines and provide everyone else with an example of the type of posts worth promoting.
