Here is one trick that most Twitter people do not really know about: you can optimize your own profile. This is something you should do especially if you are looking for a job. If you will be given an opportunity to be noticed even by those who do not belong to Twitter, then by all means, why not?

Here are ways on how you can make your Twitter profile visible on search engines:

Use keywords.

Search engines work with keywords. These are the words or phrases used by Internet users to look for information. So if employers were to search for new staff, they will probably use the following: “photographer with 5 years experience,”–something like that. If you are unsure on what keywords to use, try keyword suggestion tools such as Google Adwords. You can then incorporate the keywords into your About section, handle, tweets, and even to your Twitter account name.

Add your Twitter link to anywhere.

There are Twitter directories. You can also include your link in your e-mail or message board signatures. Add your Twitter profile into your blog or website. These are just some of the many ways on how you can put your Twitter profile out there. What’s more, you are going to get inbound links. This will increase your search engine ranking, which, in turn, will boost the traffic going into your tweets.

Come up with witty tweets.

The objective here is to encourage your friends in the network to share your profile and posts to their respective network. One of the best things you can do is to come up with witty remarks as tweets. You can also post articles and media files, which you believe will arouse the curiosity, interest, or emotions of your friends.

Create badges and icons.

There are plenty of websites that will allow you to produce icons, widgets, or badges that you can then link to your Twitter profile. You can perhaps give these away to those who link back to you as a form of a thank-you gift.

Join the trend.

On the right portion of the main page, you can see hash tags. These are actually the present topics that are trending or frequently tweeted or discussed. It pays to join the club once in a while. Meanwhile, to ensure that you just do not end up being one of them, present a different approach on a particular topic, so others can comment on your post. Again, you can go back to tip # 3 to help you out.

Focus on the first few characters.

Twitter puts a limit on the number of words that you can use, so you need to choose them wisely. SEO-wise, consider selecting keywords as your first few words in your tweets.
