Well, I broke down, started a "play around' Twitter profile with the SOLE method of promoting wrong, hard-sell, aggressive tweets...only got 35 visitors in 5 days to my lil mini-site and no sells.

But, I did learn one thing along the way. The way to get followers, is simply to follow. Now, in between my aggressive tweets, I did post some "fun fact" tweets to keep content fresh.

I also put a lil box in my profile, letting people know if they want more info, to click on link in my description.

I did an advanced search, for "exact phrase" for a couple keywords, replied with basically generic replies, like "shout out to ya", or "hello" or "follow me, I'll follow you back!" or "have a great day!"

Now, I did it all wrong on purpose, but in 5 days or so, I had 103 followers, 35 visitors to my website, and that was doing it all wrong, so I have to believe, when I DO finally decide exactly what I'm going to do, I'll do it the more "correct" way, and should most certainly have better results.

I follow people, wait a day, if they don't follow back, I unfollow. Rinse and repeat.

Some of you should try it(for those who havent tried Twitter yet).

Why would I do it all wrong on purpose? Simple...now when I DO figure out my real niche I would like to make my online business, I will have no fear of using twitter at all. Fear stops most of us from even trying.

Your mind will say lil things like, "What if i screw something up?" or "What if it doesn't work?"

Well, that fear as far as twitter goes, is gone for me now! I like to try things and experiment before I dive in head first.

Hope anything I said helped, even if just a little and best wishes to ya!

Isn't one day too short a time to wait for the follow?
They usually say wait for a 3 days at least.

Which free tool is the best to use to unfollow with?

That's why I said "I did everything wrong, on purpose" lol

Just wanted to see if I could get followers the "wrong" way, and I did.

My post wasn't "Traffic through Twitter" tips, per se...I was simply letting people know I did everything wrong and still got followers and visits so that a few people, who might be afraid to try Twitter, would realize...even BAD action is more beneficial than no action.

I know twitter stopped allowing "auto unfollow" a few months back, but when I DID unfollow people, I unfollowed people who spoke in a diff language, and people who were spammers...those were first to go.

But, as I said, I did everything wrong, have 103 followers, and 35 visits to website in 5 days, so again, even BAD action produced some results...so GOOD action/techniques could only be better(I'd imagine).

BUt, if you've someone you're following who's just a spammer, why wait 3 days to unfollow? Or, if they don't speak your language, why wait?

But you are right, give REAL(not bots/spammers) people a couple days to be able to follow you back, as not everyone is online all the time...good point

Twitter might have stopped a lot of bulk unfollow tools but this new one seems to work:

If you optimize your site well enough the idea is that you will get onto the first page of Google for the search term you are targeting and you will get traffic from that.

This thread is about twitter though.

I've read quite a bit about Twitter and best practices using it and boy, I'm still unsure about how to best use it for purposes other than strictly social, which would include helping others without trying to sell, promote or direct them to blogs, etc.

It almost seems to me, though, that maybe the best way to break into Twitter for purposes of promotion would be to first establish a good presence on say, Stumbleupon or Squidoo or Digg, etc. and then try to bridge "followers" over to your Twitter location and then build from there - rather than Twitter first to bridge over to your Blog, etc.

Does that make any sense or just nonsense?

You can generate a lot of traffic and sales through Twitter you need followers first more the better . If you are a niche marketer this gives you plenty of options on getting sign-ups and sales .

There is a process that you must implement in order to be successful.Twitter will implement OAuth at the end of the month so any app not using it will be obsolete.

Also Twitter will have there own url shortening program in place so bitly and other wont be usable.

Hey, thanks for your reply.

Way to go on staying so current on changes occuring at Twitter. That is an area that concerns me about Twitter, Facebook, etc. Technology and all is changing so rapidly and staying on top of it is critical.

Yes, Twitter is the biggest mystery of all to me. I haven't been able to get my head around it's use other than for quick social chit chat. I have read through programs out there in the market that "explains it all", plus many of the "auto-pilot" software, but it just hasn't clicked for me as a Source of traffic for Internet Marketing - unless one first spends a lot of time building relationships like with Forums.

Nothing wrong with that at all as long as one understands the right way(s) to do it and the really wrong(s) ways to not do it.

I will check out your program and report back.

Thanks again.

I've got around 4000 followers with 4 different accounts. I've never looked to see how much traffic is coming from Twitter. I've had a few affiliate sales and two clients for copywriting via Twitter. One copywriting client told me she hired me because I look so handsome in my profile picture??? Wasn't sure how to respond to that one.

I try and post interesting tidbits about my life and whenever I have a new article approved at Ezine.com, I post the link on various Social Media.

I have gotten business thru Twitter. Consistency is the key with that.

I've started digg and stumble upon but my Q is how u get ppl to digg on ur links ??? is it by digging others they'll digg back to ur link or something else ??

Have anybody tried digg and myspace? They are quite good in attracting traffic.
