Where should I place the follow me on Twitter button on my website?

    I just started using twitter for my business and I want to promote my twitter account on my website. This is my website www.apartmentsRus.ca. I was thinking of putting a large "follow me on twitter" button where my "featured listings" button is on the home page. Where do you think is the best spot? I'm also thinking of using facebook now too, but was told twitter would be better for my biz. Guess it wouldn't hurt to do both.....

    You can add it to the top right, where there is a tiny home icon. but not as tiny as that of course.

    Coldtek, I like your site. Usually sites in that industry tend to be overloaded. If you ask me, I would put a counter (text) "xxx Followers" above "Search Apartments" with a link "Follow Me" below. See below, of course you should adjust it to your current theme design.

    You see the usual pages on news sites - they are always at the bottom - following the article. Just an observation.

    Choice from three sides.

    Top Right
    Bottom
    Sidebar


    I personally use top right

    I would place it on the top right hand corner next to the little home icon.

    I have a great big Twitter button on all my blogs. I give it third place on my sidebar. Right underneath my opt in box and RSS feed!

    Good looking, uncluttered website. I'd suggest placing it on the right towards the top, in the narrow, empty column where you presently just have blank space. Try to use some bold graphics and/or colors to attract the viewers' eyes to this area. You want it to be eye-catching and grab their attention right away. Offer some sort of freebie/bonus for following you if you can, to incentivize them further.

    Just above the PayPal logo would be good.

    I as a user might just notice it quick if the twitter logo is on the to right side.

    If it were me I will place it in the sidebar where people can always see it.
