Hi,
It takes like 30 minutes to do and probably very few know about it yet. What is Google Updates first of all?
If you go to Google you’ll see the new options they added, there’s a link called Show Options and if you click it you see the new options.
Basically this allows searchers to search specific sites like Blogs, Forums and one of them is Updates.
I got ranked #1 for the keyword noadware which gets around 49,500 monthly visitors according to Google’s own keyword research tool. Here’s a screenshot of the ranking:
The link that I got ranked was not my website, but a brand new Twitter account which had ZERO followers and just two tweets.
So how did I do this? You probably can do this for practically any keyword you wish as long as they are not very competitive – long tail are the best – because if you use common keywords like computer there are many twits that contain that word and Google updates if you go and see will show them all (go to see how).
Long tail are keywords which have 3 or more words.
Create a new Twitter account or use your existing twitter account, and just post a Twit. Then put the keyword you want to rank for in Google Updates as the first word/s of the Twit. Then of course put a link to your website (shorten it or not probably does not matter since links on Twitter have nofollow tags anyway).
That’s it.
Google Updates use Twitter as the primary source in fact most often you see twits there – since Twitter is basically Updates!
I don’t know how many people actually go to Google Updates when they’re searching – but as you can guess some will… The benefit is traffic to your twitter account – and there’s the twit listed too which displays the link so you can also get clicks to your website directly from the listing.
