I don't think so that twitter work as a traffic machine. Noone reads the tweets - that's why you can't get traffic. If you follow for example 50 people and they post 20 tweets a day - you can't read them all and follow their links .Noone waste time to follow these tweets. Bottom line - its useless tool - and everyone think that can get traffic .But the only one site does - twitter
Engaging with people is foremost things, the second one must be RT'ing others post. Suppose make a group 10 of your fav tweeters and RT their post constantly .. They intend to RT your post. Once they start RT'ing, your links will spread like fire. So, Rt'ing is the best option. Once you talk with people, they click your links the next time. I have tried this and it should work out !
I post on my twitter regularly. I also have an auto twitter feed that takes the last thread from my forum every hour and posts it on twitter, i get at least 100 hits from this each time.
For some of my websites the only source of traffic is Twitter and trust me... they are doing very well. The only reason is the quality of content
Twitter is a social networking medium where one is able to link with thousands of people and through tweeting on twitter people can get to know different things going on out in the world so traffic rates definitely increases
Twitter advertising is definitely for those who have targeted followers. You wont get good conversion if your followers has no interest with your tweets.
this is depend on your group and friends in your friends list.you join more group u got more traffic.thanks for sharing.
