Increasing your traffic utilising your Twitter profile

The micro bloging platform Twitter has carved itself quite a buzz this year with a media frenzy of celebrities mentioning Twitter on their blogs , and Internet marketing gurus telling us you can use Twitter to create hundreds of followers , the interest in Twitter is at a record peak . You almost certainly know people who are on Twitter and suppliers may have invited you to join them on Twitter . That segues us to our main topic . What are YOU doing about it for yourself?

A lot of people, actually I think most, don’t even “get” Twitter. And that’s partly because it can be many different things to almost as many people. And to some extent, they may even be all true, at least to that person.

But however you approach your Twitter strategy 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.

We have other articles on getting targeted traffic, but let’s look at something we can do today A right now We’ll take a more detailed look at building a targeted list but first let’s explore a quick and easy option.

Some business owners envision Twitter traffic as stemming from Twitter internally . A concept most Twitter directories promote . But , the advantages of having your normal traffic follow you on Twitter are plentiful . So beneficial that we need to take action .

A very quick solution is to add a Twitter “badge” to your website, eCommerce store or blog . It’s simply a graphic saying who you are on Twitter with a hyperlink to your Twitter page. In the videos I mentioned earlier , you’ll see how , but we’ll stick to just the badge for now .

WHERE CAN I CREATE MY TWITTER BADGE?

You paste the HTML in to your site.

It also works on Wordpress blogs. I’ve put them on my own blogs.

The Twitter badge is sealed in its own little HTML DIV tag so should integrate easily 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.

Integrating your Twitter page with your existing web properties is an essential strategy. One you can do in the next 10 minutes, with a few mouse clicks,
