How to get more traffic using Twitter For Business

The 140 character whiz kid know as Twitter has produced a lot of attention in the last few months with a army of stars using Twitter on their TV shows , and business strategists telling us we can leverage Twitter to build thousands of followers , the interest in Twitter is at a record peak . You probably have friends and work colleagues on Twitter and your suppliers may have invited you to their Twitter profile . And that is what I want to discuss with you 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.

Regardless of how you feel about Twitter personally, there are some great strategies you should consider 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. Even at a minimum you have one more point of contact via Twitter , ideally with some way of people finding you by your keyword, or your name. It could be embarrassing if potential customers search for you and your rival , or a cyber squatter, have beaten you to your own profile.

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.

A lot of people perceive Twitter traffic as an internal channel of Twitter itself . A concept most Twitter directories also foster. But in the real Twitter , the advantages of having your normal traffic follow you on Twitter are well worth having . So beneficial that we need to do something about it now .

The easiest thing is to add a Twitter “badge” to your web presences . A Twitter badge is a graphic showing who you are on Twitter with a link to your Twitter page. In the videos , they go in to how you extend that concept , but let’s stick to a simple badge for now .

WHERE CAN I CREATE MY BADGE ?
You can get your own customised Twitter badge without spending any money from this site ;

You paste the HTML in to your site.

It works great on Wordpress blogs as a sidebar Text Widget. I’ve added them on all of my own blogs.

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

You can create an HTML table or div layer to house it, then you can just paste the code in verbatim . 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.
