    I find 5-10% of followers click my links and not more.
    Though, its good than nothing.

    That's actually a good point... do you get "just traffic", or targeted traffic

    There are always new social media communities on the internet to enroll in. Twitter is quite similar. It is a social media site that is conceptualized around the theme of updating your life regularly. Here you are able to post all the things that you are currently doing and also share your immediate thoughts. The allowed space is 140 characters per update making it necessary for you to be very precise and concise in your writing.

    Translating Twitter into Traffic

    Twitter is very popular at present and this can function to transmit traffic to your website. There are some rules that you need to obey however when using Twitter if you wish to achieve success. One of the foremost requirements is that you are involved in the community. This means that you must make significant contributions to the community. If all that you do is promote yourself then you will not have the success that you need. You will be avoided and shunned by the social media community at large on Twitter. Here you will have to follow others and in return many will follow you. The more that follow you means the more that will eventually visit your website.

    Another key factor that you should consider is the fact that you need to reply to others. This is all a part of involvement. When you participate in conversations with others on Twitter they will reply to you. There is a key feature on Twitter whereby when others reply to you, the persons that follow them are able to connect to your profile. This widens your audience greatly and means that your exposure is increased. It is therefore essential that you make lots of contributions to conversation and keep your involvement on the site high.

    Utilizing the Twitterfeed site you can send RSS feed straight to Twitter automatically. This means when you post something new, and update your RSS, this posts automatically on your Twitter time line. This is an ideal method to ensure that your updates are posted. Be cautious however to ensure that you are not perceived as a spammer. This is hated by all Twitter users. If your entire involvement on Twitter is updates then this appears like spam. Also if you setup a business profile i.e. a profile using your business name and try to collect many people this is frowned upon. You must ensure that you balance your profile and that Twitter updates and promotions are combined with lots of genuine involvement.

    Twitter has on offer many badges and widgets that you can use on your website. This allows the Twitter updates to go to your site and too visitors can click on the badge and check out your Twitter profile and even opt to join your following. This is an ideal way for your social media and your site to work together for you and compliment on another.

    I get good traffic from twitter. Many have signed up for my opt in mail list through this source. Twitter is growing too big to not be on it. All the 'gurus' use it and you can check and see who they're talking to and learn... pretty cool

    Twitter is absolutely amazing for targetted traffic. However I see so many people spamming it. This is the last thing you want to do - you want to make friends with your followers and post interesting things and then occasionally link them to an interesting article on your site. Simple as that.

    Name them.

    In most cases, Dexter, that and getting very few is the norm.

    When it comes to making money off of Twitter, do not be fooled by the (typical) bullshit here, or, for that matter, anywhere else.

    I used to get 100s of visitors from twitter but it was not that productive. That's why I chose other means of promotion ;)

    I can't deny that Twitter can provide us a good source of traffic. I have tried it about 5 days ago and not so active in it. So far Twitter has generate nearly 80 traffics to my website.

    So far I have not had much traffic but I have not had the account that long. Is there an easy way to search. I run a college sports site and am wondering the best way to search for people?

    I get traffic from Twitter. If you create a background image it will help advertise your business for you. My background image as a little bio about me and links to my websites. http://www.twitter.com/snotb4ll if you want to see my background image.

    Also in my background image I put a thing saying my Twitter followers get a free upgrade at my websites all they have to do is send me a DM and so far its worked out great.
