SEO: Let your Blog Overtake Your Twitter Profile in the search results
Some of you may have noticed that, our Twitter pages are superseding our blogs in Google search results for your name. Tech journalist Marshall Kirkpatrick has an easy HTML workaround to keep Twitter from becoming your primary online identity.
All of you surely want your blog or website to come first in the search result. Well its ok if its not first. But we dont want these social community profiles to come before our Websites or Blogs. Kirkpatrick discovered a small HTML tag that was missing from his own blog, yet present in Twitter, that could make all the difference.

It’s as simple as making the link text read a href=”http://marshallk.com/feedback” rel=”me”.
