More and more searching is now taking place in real-time. These types of searches are based on time/date and the user’s query.

This kind of search is far more basic than Google, for example, as you’re not ranked by relevancy. Really, this type of search is more viral than anything else but it is a useful way to get your articles/content/blogs found “right now”.

Here are a few tips to get your content found in real-time searches.

Keywords: The most important place for keywords is in your titles and updates. If you’re writing an article you should think about what people are going to include in their updates if they share it on a social network, for example Facebook or Twitter.

If the right keywords are in the title, then those keywords are also more likely to appear in follow-up tweets. And if someone searches for the keywords, they will be more likely to find your content in a real-time search.

Make it up-to-date: Write about current events so that any searches to do with that topic, provided the right keywords are used, will come up in the results.

Make pals:  The more followers you have on Twitter or the more readers of your blogs the more likely it is that people will share your content. The more people sharing your content, the more chances you have of your content making it into real-time searches.

Get chatting: A great tip is to start new chats or conversations that people will be interested in. You’ll have more chats, more tweets and more impressions on real-time searches.
