Use Twitter to Get Some of The Social Media Traffic You’ve Heard So Much About
Monday, July 13th, 2009Why?
From doing SEO and PPC to being active on social media websites, being all over the internet is recommended, if you want to get your website noticed these days. One great way to build and maintain focus on you and your site is through social media websites like Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. Even if using these social media sites is often free, maintaining your online presence takes time and hereby indirectly be a burden of your income.
Among the most popular social media sites is without a doubt Twitter.com. It’s easy to start and easy to maintain has appealed to many people and made it a “must use” for anyone wanting to get some of the free social media traffic to their websites. For anyone already actively using Twitter, you will know that one of the keys to success is building a large interested following and not spam them with messages.
One way to build an interested following is by leveraging your current website traffic to make them follow your profile on Twitter and getting Twitter website promotion. This can easily be achieved by integrating a program called Viral Tweets with your website, blog, hubpage or whatever you might be using.
What?
Viral Tweets comes in a FREE edition that you can use to add to your website or blog in order to encourage your readers to tweet about your site on Twitter.
See exactly what I’m talking about at Launchfinder, where I’ve added a Tweet box to the sidebar.
Try it. Type in your Twitter name and password (it won’t be stored or saved in any way), press “Tweet Now” and you’re done. You can always delete the Tweet afterwards, if you don’t want it on your profile.
How?
· Get word out about your website to many more people than just your own Twitter following. Each Tweet will reach hundreds or thousands of new people.
· Opt-in tactics like a free report can be combined with this software to give your readers an incentive to tweet your message
· Add this to your blog, website, hubpage and split test different variation of text and set up to find what gives you the best results
· Being on different social media sites and connecting them will make your visitors/customers feel more connected with you and will trust you more
· Adding your website to your Twitter profile will help get your site ranked in the search engine. This is especially the case the more popular and more visited your profile is
· You can get it for FREE (there’s also a paid version that has a few more features, but basically it does the same)
NOW!
If you have a blog/website where you add content that people visiting checks out, why not add the possibility for them to follow you on Twitter. If they’re interested in reading your content, they will be interested in reading your tweets.
Installation is easily done with the explanatory video that’ll guide you through the installation.
Connecting your website with your social media profiles will drive traffic to your site. I’ll stress the importance of this. It’s generating free traffic, it’s free software that you don’t need to update and it’s “set-and-forget”. You install this once (it’s easy and there’s video guide) and just leave it alone and see how the word about your website will spread across the internet.
