I'm a big twitter fan, I got 3k followers..

Do anyone of you use twitter to get traffic? I heard it's good for getting sales, and members to forums, but there is a lot of spam lately

soon 5k followers... I provide Twitter service too, so I know how to get followers and etc.

I have almost 1500, but not receive traffic more than 5 visitors/day. I think StumbleUpon is best for traffic.

Stumble upon, agreed! But how many times do you tweet daily? And the key is also making the tweets fancy... attractive... Sometimes from 1 tweet you can get 25 uv... happened to me.

The key to twitter success is not to hard sell. Tweet a lot or normal conversational tweets mixed with pitches. This is the way to go.

It's making your tweets fancy, and the time you tweet...

Tweet about what new happenings in your industry so that followers will recognize you. Then along side tweet your marketing promotions.

My impression is that it works best to send Twitter traffic to a blog post / article first and not squeeze or sales pages. Respons from the followers are higher and it converts better.

I agree with hostnor...any Twitter traffic should be directed to a blog or article first.

Cheers - Keith

Yes, Twitter is one of my top traffic sources.

Now I don't spam my links or new articles, videos, etc.

I try to @reply to people throughout the day, I'll make comments on their tweets, ask them questions, etc.

And from this I'm getting 200 - 300 visits a day from Twitter basically I'm being cool with them and then they come and check out my site.

Great information here. I have often thought about using Twitter, but wasn't sure if it was worth it or not. Thanks for the info everyone!

I have a big twitter following, but don't spend much time on twitter... the traffic is alright, but most won't buy anything... FYI don't ever send them to a sales page

I have never used Twitter but I have tried using it twice.
When I registered I didn't find interesting twitting around

I think Cosmopolitan means that he registered, had a look around but have never used it properly. At least it happened to me in this way. I felt a bit bored to stay long and twit just for twitting, but was afraid to promote anything and to be accused of spamming (since I had some negative experience with Yahoo Answers - funny enough that I was accused of spamming when I was promoted nothing just telling about my own experience with a free fitness program).

However, a couple of days ago I came across a short article describing how it is possible to use twitter profiles for SEO.

The author considers Twitter to be "a ripe opportuníty to develop some brand recognition" and suggests putting the title of the marketed brand in the bio while compementing the profile with the most relevant keywords.

I guess experienced Twitter users are aware of this technique. But might be Twitter newbies or sceptics might give Twitter another try from a fresher perspective.

Exactly. Petra44 understood what I wanted to say.
Sorry Joker, I wasn't specific enough.
However, it's the time to start now but according to my negative experience in the past it'll be really difficult. I've been trying for an hour but I always find something more interesting to do.
Could you give me a piece of advice how to

Could I follow some of you there?

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