Connecting To Facebook and Twitter

ListPipe provides an easy way to connect your account to Facebook and Twitter.

Each time we publish an article to your website account, we will also automatically publish a post to your Facebook and/or Twitter account. Each post to these social networks includes a link back to your site. Why is this important?

Connecting to these social networks provides a tremendous advantage for a number of reasons:

  • Search engines are now indexing Facebook and Twitter pages, which means links from these pages are indexed and provide additional SEO juice to your site;
  • Links from social networks are becoming increasingly valuable for driving additional traffic to informational sites;
  • Information posted on your Facebook and Twitter pages are shared to friends of friends, and followers, extending the reach of your message.

Here's a quick introduction to our ListPipe Link application that provides the connection between your website account and your social network accounts. Take a few moments to get to know how it works, then Get Connected!
