The most posts on Twitter and Facebook – it's boring, useless information without any value. But among these tweets are nuggets of information that many users will find useful. In addition, tweets have an impact on rankings in Google and other search engines and it makes Twitter a valuable tool for optimization.
Famous authors referring to your website will make you more popular
Twitter user, which has hundreds of followers with a single message can easily attract to your site thousands of people. Google also monitors Twitter news feeds. Search engines when ranking consider such factors as age of accounts, number of followers, frequency and number of tweets, retweets, source authority. The more famous and popular is author who posted tweet with a link to your site page, the higher page is ranked in SERPs.

Another interesting fact, search engines due to such social networks as Twitter figure out the following:

According to we see how tweets really affect website ranking:
- 50 tweets boost up ranking (but not as high as you think)
- up to 1000 tweets you'll get minimal gains.
- from 1000 to 5000 tweets bring significant gains.
- after 5000 and above tweets much more improve website ranking.
- 7500 and above tweets bring your site to top 5 SERPs positions.

People always think they can promote their site with spam in the short term and thus rise website position in SERPs.
However, Spam on Twitter can lead to ban. Even if you try to start with a new account, Google eventually will pay attention to your website and it also falls under the filters.
