The Secret to Getting Your Tweets Indexed?

I may have stumbled upon the secret to getting your Tweets indexed. As you might already know, due to privacy policies (and ever since Twitter didn't renew their contract with Google), Google can no longer index Tweets. However, they can index the tweets when they are fed to another site and that site is not blocked from the engines.

I discovered this by accident the other day.

I searched for "dayofjen pinterest" (my internet handle is dayofjen, in case you didn't know)

And I didn’t see my pinterest account, weird.

But 4 results down I did see:

Sorta obsessing over pinterest:... - Jenny Stradling - FriendFeed

Sorta obsessing over pinterest: http://pinterest.com/jennyst... @starpadilla @projectaudeo @Michellepire · January 10 from Twitter - Comment - Like - Share.

It appears that my Twitter fed my FriendFeed so Google was able to see what I wrote on Twitter indirectly. 

So, I think I accidentally discovered the secret to indexing Tweets – allow Google to see them through an indexable 3^rd party website, such as FriendFeed.com. So, even though my Tweet about pinterest didn’t index and rank, it was still published on friendfeed which ranked instead.

*Note: Facebook is also non indexable, so if you are trying to index your Facebook posts, sign it up to feed a 3rd party website that is indexable as well.
