Twitter is getting harder to show up in Google searches



Since June 30, 2023, Twitter has implemented large-scale changes such as `` login is required to view tweets ''

and ``the number of tweets viewed per day is limited'' . It has been reported that Twitter user pages and tweets are less likely to be displayed in Google search results, probably due to these changes.

Mr. Barry Schwartz, who is familiar with information related to search engines, considered the possibility that Twitter's changes might affect Google search results, and conducted several searches on ``site: twitter.com'' from July 1, 2023. I saved a screenshot of. In addition, the search term 'site:twitter.com' is specified to search 'only the contents of twitter.com' by using the search operator 'site:' .




As of July 1, 2023, the number of hits on “site:twitter.com” was about 471 million.



On July 2, 2023, the number of hits will decrease to about 309 million.



By July 3, 2023, it had decreased to about 227 million.



Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the number decreased to about 180 million during the same day.



At the time of article creation, if you search for 'site: twitter.com' from Japan, you will get about 240 million hits. However, please note that a simple comparison cannot be made because the environment is different from Mr. Schwartz.



On Google, by adding '&gl=us' to the end of the search result URL, you can display 'results when searching in the United States', so when I tried it, the number of hits was about 378 million.



Lara Levin, a Google spokesperson, told foreign media The Verge, ``We are aware that crawling on twitter.com is restricted, making it difficult to display tweets and Twitter-related pages in Google search results. I'm doing it, 'he acknowledges that Twitter's indexing is in a difficult situation.
