Twitter Engagement Study: Top Apps, Content Sources & Profiles Among Search Marketers

In its latest report, “How Search Marketers Engage on Twitter,” social insights company Leadtail looked at hundreds of U.S. search marketers (SEMs) on Twitter to discover what topics they talked about and which content they consumed and shared.

The search marketing community is one that can be defined by the topics we write about and share with our colleagues. In its latest report, “How Search Marketers Engage on Twitter,” social insights company Leadtail looked at 521 U.S. search marketers (SEMs) on Twitter to discover what topics they talked about, which content they consumed and shared, and what publications and people were the most influential in the Twittersphere.

When it comes to sharing content on Twitter, SEMs preferred their desktop tools over mobile. According to the data, 80 percent used the Twitter.com website to share.
