Get a do-follow link for free!

Citiservi is a new local search engine. It’s an independent project which aims to keep in touch service providers and businesses in Spain.

You can add your own business with phisical address, phone numbers and all details and get a free do-follow link on a personal page.

However its Pagerank is still pretty low but I’m confident it will grow quickly in a short time. Add it to your bookmark list and do not forget about it when it comes to plan the next link building strategy.

Before going through any possible speculation about Twitter as a search engine, it is crucial to give a proper definition to Twitter itself.

What really is Twitter?

Instant messaging platform? Social network? None of the above?

The other day I bumped in what I reckon is the best definition up to date about Twitter. According to Kevin Ryan from Search Engine Watch:

Twitter is a search engine that indexes conversations about content

Going further in analyzing Twitter through this description, he also defines another crucial aspect:

Popularity isn’t determined by backlinking in the traditional SEO sense, but self-designated by the number of retweets and followers.

…which basically defines quality information, as for every search engine.

The Twitter Search Engine

So, if we realized what Twitter actually is, let’s take a look around its main features as a search engine.

The interesting thing though is that the search feature only appears at the very bottom of twitter.com. Moreover, it’s worth to check the advanced search feature, which has plenty of features for real time search.

Why are these feature not properly exploited yet? Do you think we’re gonna see a TwitterAdWords or TwitterAdsense anytime soon?
