I use twitter occassionally, but I haven't used it as a traffic source... I wanted to know if there is anybody who does get traffic through twitter, not just normal traffic, I'm talking hundreds of visitors per day. If there is please share with us how many unique visitors do you get.
Yes twitter has become a good source of traffic I just started a week and a half ago and have 1500 visitors proof > Here I do follow back, but anyway back to topic when marketing with twitter you don't want to spam or you will just be removed. What I do is every time I update my blog, publish an article, or update my website I send out a tweet letting my followers know. It usually works for about 20 or so hits which is not bad since I really don't have very many followers. It would easily be in the hundreds if instead of sending the tweet out to 1500 it was more like 80000 followers. Anyway I hope this helps.
I not getting hundreds of traffic but get some good traffic, this is because i'm not active enough in twitter. You can get hundreds of traffic per day if you are active and provide information article
I am not a huge fan of twitter as I think it is a fad more than anything but the traffic you get from it is pretty good if you do it right.
I have "automated" it in two ways. One, a blog using an auto submit from your RSS feed, there are a few free online. Everytime you post on your blog, it posts on twitter with a link to the entry. More followers=more clicks. Second, using twaiter to schedule postings. You can schedule them to be one time, or schedule them to post every other tuesday, ect. More followers=more clicks.
Just like anything else the more followers the better it is for you. I'm still not on the Twitter bandwagon but probably should get with it quick.
I get 10-20 visitor coming in from twitter. I update to all my follower everyday. Is working. I need to add more follower to get more traffic from my twitter.
I do get traffic from Twitter. It's not much though. The bulk of my stats still comes from search engines. I also set up my twitter to update my tweets every time I write a new post.
You can get traffic from twitter and also make lot of money from it. Just go to http://search.twitter.com and follow people who might be interested in your website topic.
You just need to use twitter like any other avenue, really. The idea is that when you are using it to promote, you use it as a compliment to your RSS and other efforts at syndication. Don't ever rely on it, and try not to abuse it. It should only be another way for people to choose to keep up with your updates, not a system or anything like that for traffic generation.
