Yesterday I started to write a short series of post about Twitter and how you can get it working for you (Are you using twitter the right way?).

If you want to use Twitter in your marketing you need followers, people who has clicked to be updated when you write anything. Ideally you want followers that retweets your post to share them with their followers. This is where Twitter and the other microblogg services can really shine.

Today there really is no way to spread a message faster in the world if it catches on, the only problem is that you have to make it interesting in just 140 characters which is really hard. And if you don’t have many followers it will be hard getting the message to take fire, through it is possible.

This is really fine and all but wouldn’t it be great if you could leverage you microblogging to help you SEO? Backlinks are still at the core of SEO for the major search engines. Now there is a new free service that will get you Twitter backlinks to your web pages.

Twittwall lets you get a free web page for your tweets, it’s similar to the wall in Facebook.

Go to the site, http://twitwall.com, and login with your Twitter account. Click “add entry” and start writing on your twitwall. Here is a link to my page just created today:

http://twitwall.com/view/?who=sitehype

Now people can comment on your postings and re-tweet right from the wall, and you get your Twitter followers with you on twitwall. When you write an entry on your twitwall the entry will appear in Twitter as well.
