Hmm I didn't think twitter had much of an impact on rankings. Walter Scott's last blog post..Aeroponic Hydroponic Cloner

@Jaan, Steven, & Steve – Maybe Jeremy will ask AJ to do a follow up post? If not I might drop him a note but it would make sense to have it done at Jeremy’s or AJ site.

@Nicole I think the moral of the story is more that some social media tools provide greater search engine and branding opportunities than others.

I also think it may inspire a host of new SEO ideas for getting search engine rankings via leveraging twitter.

So, is the moral of the story, not to pay too much attention to ranking? I should imagine so. Nicole's last blog post..eBooks - Another Way to go Green!

I’d be very interested to see more comparison data such as this one. It isn’t the most accurate because of the walled garden factor but would be interesting to see results against LinkedIn which has been high in ranks for name searches.~ Steve

Interesting. Roderick I agree with you about the apples to oranges comparison. It could also be possible that some of the people have chosen to keep their profiles private. I'm with Jaan on wishing the comparison included more social networks, though something tells me someone will eventually make the comparison.

This isn’t the 1st time I see the “walled garden” analogy applied to facebook. It is very true though, and quite apt. That would explain why facebook is starting to open up (to digg, inter alia), as was discussed in an earlier post on this blog.

I really wish they would have looked at other social networks when comparing like linkedin or mybloglog. Jaan Kanellis's last blog post..Yahoo/Google Ad Deal Closer?
