    Twitter seems to have become one of the most powerful techniques to drive traffic to your site. Do you use it for your site/blog?

    I think it is a great platform for marketing, I haven't used it effectively, but I have used it.

    Yes I've been using Twitter for a long period now and I'm really satisfied. First of all, it's free and second of all it works. I'm not spending more than 15 minutes a day on my account(s) though ;)

    Twitter is easy because of the following things:

    • You search for a good competor in the same niche
    • You follow his followers
    • You get followers who are actually interested in your niche
    • You get high-converting sales, or at least clicks on advertisements
    Clicking a follow button a hundred times in one day doesn't take longer than 10 minutes. Posting a tweet doesn't take longer than 1 minute. Scheduling a few tweets doesn't take longer than 2 minutes. Answering a few @replies doesn't take longer than 2 minutes.

    So there it is, doing marketing on Twitter, every day in less than 15 minutes. If you don't try it, than it's something you should -- if it doesn't work for your niche, than just forget about Twitter. Though Twitter grew so widely in a few months that it actually works in every niche. Going from the adult niche to the series about Zorro :D

    It's foolish to not utilizte Twitter for what it is: a micro-blogging platform perfect for sharing small amounts of information. This could include a link to your blog post or new social network, but either way it's a great way to market almost anything. This works especially well by creating multiple accounts and sharing through many different followers

    I've found Twitter to be a great place to unload free offers and get people on your list. I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to do the initial work of building a substantial follower base.

    Since it does not work, of course not.

    Jesus. A lot of bullshit in this thread.

    I feel sorry for the inexperienced reading such shit who are just starting out.


    Leave off the word "ton," and you are giving the reality of it.

    Twitter is too saturated in my opinion. I use a bot, and i know 95% of the people who follow me, or reply to tweets, etc are using bots.

    In all honesty, it seems that one day, only a mere 5% of Twitter users will be actual true users, and the remaining 95% will be bots.

    I haven't used it for marketing yet, although I've got a client which we're going to be testing out with as part of his new site launch. The largest challenge may be converting his current customers to twitter for notifications of new products/promotions but if that can be done it should be a killer marketing tool.
