How to get more traffic using Twitter For Business

Web 2.0 property Twitter has carved itself quite a media storm recently with a plethora of stars integrating Twitter on their podcasts , and business strategists telling us we should use Twitter to build thousands of followers , the interest in Twitter is at a record peak . You probably know people who are on Twitter and your suppliers may have invited you to their Twitter profile . And that last point is what I want to mention today . What are YOU doing about it for yourself?

It seems as though many people are still ignoring the potential of Twitter. That could be because it’s potential is disguised inbetween benile posts about breakfast choice.

Despite what you think of Twitter for yourself, there are opportunities you should deploy and there’s a great FREE training video about that at http://www.TrafficHug.com/twittervideo/ but whatever you do, you should be doing something. The smallest benefit will be extra chances for impressions , ideally with some way of people finding you by your keyword, or your name. Some people will just try to type your name on Twitter and see if you come up.

In other articles we talk about how to get noticed for your keyword and how to manage your account for targeted conversion (also covered well in that free video I mentioned earlier) but let’s do something we can do right now.

Most people think of Twitter traffic as stemming from Twitter internally . A concept most Twitter directories also foster. But in the real Twitter , the advantages of having your existing traffic follow you on Twitter are plentiful . So enormous that we need to start integrating immediately .

The easiest thing is to add a Twitter “badge” to your web presences . A badge is a simple graphic showing who you are on Twitter with an active link to your Twitter profile. In the videos , you’ll see how , but the badge we can do now, with no excuses.

WHERE CAN I CREATE MY TWITTER BADGE?
You can get your own customised Twitter badge at no cost from this website ;

You paste the HTML in to your site.

It works great on Wordpress blogs as a sidebar Text Widget. I’ve placed one on my own blogs.

The Twitter badge is provided in its own code block so should exist fine almost anywhere.

You can create an HTML table or div layer to house it, then you can just paste the code in easily . With WYSIWYG html editors, there is usually an HTML “object” box you can place in the desired location and just place the code in to that. Adobe Dreamweaver users can just insert an AP Layer (from the insert menu) and then paste the code in to that using the HTML code view pane.

The rewards from promoting your own Twitter profile are immense. From SEO to relationships to direct sales.
