    Here are two common ways to get traffic from twitter. Has anyone done a case study on which of these two is more worth it and which one should you spend the most time on?

    1. Go around gathering and hoarding followers as well as following other users. Once you've got a big audience, make 1 or 2 quality posts with link(s) to your site.

    OR

    2. Make a decent amount of posts per day (5 or more) and in each post use the #hash tag to mark keywords and gain traffic by users searching twitter for various keywords. ex: "Buy wholesale #Apple accessories for the #iPhone at site.com!" and in the example used above, a user would search twitter for iPhone or Apple and your site may or may not come up

    i vote for 2nd one, because sometimes tweets comes in google search too :) and nothing is better than generic traffic

    me too think the 2nd option is better if you can do it properly, search engine traffic is always good.

    Except for number 2 you have bigger chance of getting banned for hash tag spamming. Just make sure you dont flood spam the top trending as someone WILL report you if you do

    I've never even thought to use hastags. This is a very smart idea.. has nobody else tried these methods? I'd love to hear some results or case studies regarding this.

    Although we're pretty impatient. I'm about to create a few tweets and test out this method myself

    I would have to say the hash tags too.
    You would probably get the most traffic doing that if your consistent posting them.
    Probably just get twitter on your phone and just post as much as you can when you think of it.

    The standard way of getting as many followers as possible and DM them still works to some degree.
    Hastags and trend hunting are more recent methods.

    But I think a better way to get traffic to your site/proifle is still by searching for keyword phrases from non-followers and tweeting a message about them. Users who regularly check their @mention tab will see them easier.

    There are two software programs that can even automate those types of replies.

    This is true, in fact almost all real user I know (not those stupid bots) always check their @mention, myself included.
    I always want to know if obama ever replies to my suggestion

    hast tags are very powerful to get traffic inside twitter as well as from google also. In hast tags we have to give keywords by researching which is more suitable to our content. Then only it will be helpful. Otherwise it won't.

    I just like to use Twitter to post a nice stream of highlights from my site throughout the day, so the people who aren't active on the site can have a way to filter through some of the noise and read the good stuff.
