Hi,

I've not tried Twitter to drive traffic to my website, but twitter is evolving as a good microblogging platform and generating a lof traffic . I will be trying it to get traffic.

The potential is great.

Right of the bat decide if want the account to very "personal" or very business like.

Even if you opt for personal be careful as with casual microblogging you may become to "loose" and it could haunt you.

You can not edit posts and even those that you erase may not disappear even if you can't see them anymore.

If used correctly and I highly suggest you read up on what to do and not to do cause your 1st Tweet is your 1st interaction with everyone.

You only have 1 shot at 1st impression.

Make it count.

Twitterers don't like to be sold... they want to communicate, or learn or ???

We've just started using it on a LiveSEO project that tweets and blogs about a real time SEO project on one of our ecommerce sites.

find something unique and genuinely useful - and setup a tasteful autoresponder like TweetLater or SocialToo that will let them know that you'd like to have genuine dialogue with them about your industry - but don't sell them in the autoresponder.

There are several e-books on Twitter tips, I'd recommend reading them

I guess I could just sum everything up and say - "Be Genuine"

Relationships take time to develop, and Twitter is a relationship building tool, not an instant checkout line.

Having recently launched a new site with a bit of a community feel to it, I've been tempted to look into twitter, but have so far abstained.

Here's the thing... Isn't it the case that Twitter is just a new way of communicating that is enjoying a swell of novelty-based interest at the moment? Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure I could become a fan if given the time, but from what I understand, those who enjoy fame on a Twitter level, are those who would be interesting on any platform... print, radio, tv, blogs, etc, etc.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you or your product or service is, on the whole, uninteresting, why on earth would you think that tweeting, moo-ing or oinking about it is going to make it any more hip?!!

Again, I realise that for cetain people/organisations who enjoy a vaccuum for their information, Twitter may be a great tool. But I wonder how many marketing managers started blogs a few years back to drive tarffic/generate buzz etc, and forgot about them after a few posts.

It seems to me that there is a definate pattern to this kind of behaviour, where something reaches that critical mass of "The New Big Thing". As soon as this happens, people flock to take advantage and the content becomes poor & old hat.

Forgive the waffle... I just belive that unless you have something interesting to say, no platform is going to give you the magnetism you are after. Put a boring guy in an Armani suit & send him to a singles bar - he'll still come out empty handed!

I understand this forum is about SEO, but as engines & behaviour evolves, these things will become much less effective (I think!)...

It's the newest way, but is it the best way, to get traffic to your site?

Not sure many people including myself understand how twitter works, maybe someone who is very familiar with it can give a good example on how to use it. I suspect when you follow someone it triggers them to look at you to see if its ok. I think.

Thanks Bob

Well I think it needs hard work and patience plus interesting updates for you to gain some traffic from twitter. It is not as easy as everyone thinks IMO.

Twitter has proven to be a useful business tool, not just for social stuffs alone. Twitter is the in thing now, it seem to be taking over from Facebook.

It is the best way, to get traffic to your site.but mostly people don't understand how twitter work, so create awareness about the twitter should be their basic duty.

i would advise against all the following actions for long term twitter credibility

• rank your spammy seo site for "silly traffic less seo phrase"
• power-twit every hour for weeks on end - "try a search for silly seo phrase, check out the #1 ranking, we could do the same for you.."
• send them all to a special "tweeps" page
• simultaneously spam the index with a zillion article submission and hosted blog accounts with "silly traffic-less seo phrase" links at your silly traffic-less seo site

all of these things will probably not help you on twitter

Get a lot of followers who are interested with your product or service and you will get huge traffic from Twitter.

and the the key to get more friends are good twits. Keep on twitting about cool stuff that others want to find out more about, then they are going to add you as friend.

Twitter do help in generating traffic to the site. Add followers related to theme.Give the followers more & more information through tweets . Use Direct messages to thank who retweet your tweet .

Twitter needs some time ...i m following people and increasing my followers daily...but i am also not finding any traffic 3 to 4 per day

Well i get all bouncing traffic. Targeted traffic is very less.

Twitter for anyone as an individual, is only as good as the people or businesses you follow or that follow you. For SEO or driving traffic, well the only backlink I see going to my site is my Profile link. On Traffic, there are several people that I follow that use it to increase traffic to new content like a link to new templates they have posted or industry tips. I follow those links many times as I know that their content is decent, so it has worked for them to drive traffic to their sites. Some that I like their content enough, I have opted to receive their tweets on my cellphone so I know immediately when something new is posted.

For a small business who is using it, promoting product or specials is easy. i.e., take a restaurant who is posting their lunch special, their followers who might be getting that tweet by cellphone, can make the decision of where they are going for lunch. This is just one of many examples, but for local use, it can be a great tool!

Heck, companies like Dell, Google and many other prominent companies and people are using it, I don't think it will fad out anytime soon.
