PageRank 7. Used to be not showing at all.

I’ve not twatted (rhymes with fat, not bought) much lately but I stopped by my Twitter home page and saw the page rank indicator for Google at 7/10. (see red arrow). That’s smoking. I’ve no idea why that happened yet, but I’ll look into it.

The link to my main AimforAwesome.com site is there on the right (blue arrow). If it’s a true PR7 I wonder why my PR dropped at AFA from a PR5 to a PR4 just the other day. Traffic has been increasing steadily regardless – but, just curious.

I think PR is fast becoming completely meaningless except as a barometer of whether Google has any love for your site at all. PR nothing sites may have done something wrong. PR1 sites are just starting out and not fully indexed yet. PR3 and above seems to be where most decent sites are.

PR7? That’s nice…

This is a game changer on a couple of levels.

1. People are going to tweet just to get into Google’s search engine results pages (SERP’s). It’s a game changer for companies that are looking to get into the Google and Bing search results pages. I don’t see the results in Bing yet, though some have said they are showing up for them. Google has yet to integrate Tweets into their results – but it will be interesting to see how they go about it.

Tweeting might have just become important to me again, depending on what the results show, and whether they are prominently placed. Links in Twitter will probably pick up some sort of value in Google’s eyes based on the number of times the link gets passed around – retweeted.

2. Less and less space is being used for organic search results in Google especially. Some companies are going to get pushed down, out of the sweet spot. SEO is becoming ridiculously hard to max out because there are no longer 5 or 10 slots that matter. There are just a couple.

I think small businesses – 1-10 employees are being hammered. It’s becoming more difficult to break into any online business that relies on the search engines. Companies must have budgets to hire people to do videos, images, and now tweets.

I think Google is favoring big business. Big business rules online, just as it did offline. It can’t be any other way, right?

If the Twitter results are really prominent displayed in Google results, whole businesses will develop to take advantage of this chance to get high placement in Google’s SERP’s. Heck, I might jump into that space if the getting looks good.

Will they rank the Twitter data higher than YouTube videos? Higher than image results?

Interesting to see what comes of this – the game is always changing!

One way to gain more followers on Twitter is to use a biography in your profile so potential follwers can see what you’re all about. This works because people naturally want to follow those that can teach them something and those that are seen as authorities.

I’m slowly gaining followers at my Twitter ID:

AimforAwesome

You can see that I’ve included some information in my profile and it seems to be working so far. I’ve also customized the background image and put my logo for the Aim for Awesome site in the space on the left.

Here’s a recent post at Hubspot complete with graphs about what hot-words work and what doesn’t seem to work in your Twitter profile.
