Ever wonder what makes Google display two sequential listings or how it determines what pages from the same site to list next to one another. It comes down to popularity, interest, links and relevance.
No matter who you like, there is a lot of chatter about both candidates and even Google agrees that Twitter is hot for Obama right now. The 91,000+ followers on Obama’s Twitter account and the amount and frequency of posts is pushing his account to the number two listing in Google.
You can view all the tweets about the election but as fast as they go you need to hover over any tweet to pause the updates.
This is a great lesson in SEO to show the relationship that should exist throughout your site; especially among your popular pages and your money pages. Talk about them. Link to them. Be amazing enough (your product/offer) to get others to link to them.
How can you make your most important page(s) pop?

fascinating. i’d heard about the obama campaign’s use of the internet, and particularly twitter, but this serp puts things in perspective.
WOW. I had no idea that Obama was so big on twitter. Rank 2 is pretty awesome.
Pretty interesting, but not surprising. Most internet-savvy people are younger, and of course younger people are swinging for Obama more than McCain. It is kind of weird that a non-political search for a technology website would rank Obama’s twitter page #2, but again, not surprising. Not to me, at least.
I find it amazing that so many people follow Barack Obama like this. It is almost like a cult!
Barack is big in twitter, he is a genius in promoting himself online. His campaign prove that online environment plays an important role.
I’m one of those that follow his twitter. For goodness sake he is the next president of USA. I believe it’s an honor to follow his activities.
Twitter paid off!
What impresses me is there are two results ABOVE wikipedia …. LOL - This was a very interesting find you had here. Thanks for sharing it with us!
