Tweet for SEO – Google new Shared by

Without any announcement, that I know of, Google have added a new featured to their search results called “Shared by”.

The new feature is using what many people considered to be a lost cause, in terms of SEO, the Tweeter.

If you’ll notice in many search results, where you’d usually see a box with related posts / articles, you can see next to many of them a link that says how many people have shared this news / post / article in tweeter.

Since Google had decided to call this feature “Shared by” and not “Tweeted by”, I can assume it can or will show more locations where the item had been shared and probably in the close future.
