Great thread, keep up the updates OP. I read somewhere that a guy was able to get his site to page one using only retweets. Are your inner pages linking back to the homepage?

The Overall reason of this case study is :
1) a lot of persons curious about twitter impact in seo including me
2) some one to try so rest other can decide whether to move on or not
I think you should try Google Plus more good ranking... By the way how much amount you have thrown in tweets ?
Are you getting any traffic from twitter now?
I have said it 100s of times on this forum in dozens of threads
SOCIAL SIGNALS DO NOT HELP RANK SITES.
I have tested this so extensively, it's not even funny. Even post penguin, 100s of thousands of retweets, FB shares, pinterest pins across daily posts on a site will not increase the page's rankings at all!
Linkedin doesn't work either.
+1s are playing with fire, and you'll likely get harmed more than helped.
At any rate, I've had negative results across 3 test sites when I did this as a ranking strategy as a side project.
It's yet early for conclusion, at least one more week to see is there an impact. I would agree that this would be better case study if you have tested social signals impact, not just twitter.
Expertpeon, google has bought twitters data centers and have made negotiations with facebook which were turned down. Plus facebook has recently tightened up security heavily within their site. Do you think all this is happening for no reason? I know your a highly reputable member of this forum so id say I completely trust your testing of this, but in the near future, there will be value within these social signals, wouldnt you agree?
If social media offers any more than a tiny, tiny fraction of Google's algorithm, it will create a spam war of epic proportions. Generating tons of retweets and such is so damn easy it's not even funny.
