5 SEO Superstars to Follow on Twitter

There's no denying that social media and search engine optimization are in a relationship - even if they aren't Facebook official.

Social-SEO has given many 'Net professionals even more reason to take to their personal social media accounts to share links and build authority within their respective niche.

For that reason, Website Magazine has compiled a list of five SEO superstars to follow on Twitter, because as they look for the SEO benefits that are sure to be had on social, their peers can learn a thing or two (or three) from them. Note: We tried to stay away from the Rand Fishkin and Matt Cutts of the Twitter world, to find accounts readers may not know about (and our list is in no particular order).

5. @seosmarty

By her own account, Ann Smarty "tweets a lot" but her social shares don't lack quality. If all you need is SEO, Smarty is worth a follow, as they contain advice on blogging, branding and more.

4. @phixed

The SVP of Product and Technology for SIM Partners, Adam Dorfman shares links to articles he's written for top industry publications (like Website Magazine, of course), SEO articles that matter and takeaways from conferences.

3. @THESEOPROZ

A weekly contributor to Website Magazine, Travis of @THESEOPROZ keeps his account all SEO, all the time. The links he shares go to insightful and actionable articles about keyword research, content development and even some occasional glimpses into the world of black hat SEO (gasp!).

2. @greggifford

If you like bacon, this account is for you. Better yet, if you like funny anecdotes about industry conferences, links to insightful SEO articles and an occasional Britney Spears post (who doesn't?), Greg Gifford is worth a follow.
