Ban Google corporate Twitter pages from search results?

As every curious or ambitious blogger as we can see, where we search engine rank. Because the content here is best categorized as marketing information, Twitter, that is, what we normally check.

At first everything seemed normal. Lot's of articles on the topic as you'd expect. A guest of post on Andy Beal's (http://twitter.com/andybeal) Marketing Pilgrim entitled "200 + Internet marketing gurus on Twitter" tops the list. Marketing in the domain is, Twitter and marketing in the title, it is certainly on topic and has plenty of links to it. Was not too surprised.

Then come some other that.. hmm okay, I can see.

LameTwitterMarketing.com, Dosh Dosh's article ' Twitter marketing: why you don't need to mass follow you Twitter users' (totally agree btw!) - this I can also understand.

Then there are some that don't really belong as a craigslist post currently at # 7.

Then it dawned on me. Where the hell is Twitter.com? Search Google for "Google Marketing" and Google is # 1. "Microsoft Marketing" # 1 goes to a Microsoft.com page. Facebook Gets # 2. Yahoo # 1.

So where is Twitter search for Twitter marketing? Would you believe that # 24? , The's right, page 3. If you're reading this, I am sure that you are familiar with the traffic that goes to the sites on page 3 versus page 1. Amazing.

How could this happen let Twitter?

Here is the kicker. # 24 Result... is a Twitter user profile page that a way to "become a marketing expert with Twitter traffic machine" is promoting. Nothing to do with corporate and even worse it is something that could affect the service to promote.

Other sites include up to a real page of Twitter:
twitip.com
Twitterholic.com
tweamr.com (woo hoo!)

And you have to love an article on ezinearticles.com with opening sentence…

If anyone should know about the power of Twitter, online marketing and social media sites for more exposure, it should be chiropractor.

You can make the stuff.

So where is Twitter's corporate site in Google rank? Not in the top 100 so it doesn't really matter. The results on Yahoo! are a little different. A Twitter user comes in at a respectable # 2, but the corporate Web site does not already exist.

What I can't figure out is, that we, Twitter know SEO. Search Google for your name. If you are on Twitter, odds are your Twitter profile page will be right up to the top together with LinkedIn.

Do you have a theory? I would love to hear it. Google is intimidated enough to draw some search magic when it comes to Twitter? Is from Twitter intentionally operation on any kind of marketing messaging, until you have developed your business model?

One thing I know whatever it is... I'm on position, make sure that I optimize the copy in my profile page!
