  2. This is really a great help. Giving out ideas makes me more attach with my twitter. I can barely update my status and making other people be curious of following me either.

  4. Good Twitter tips. I think twitter and Facebook will be more important in SEO and ranking as Google moves forward. The better presence you have with social media, the better.

  10. It is a nice article. I use twitter but never thought of inviting visitors from it. I would try to bring and use it accordingly from the coming year.

  12. I loved this article, but if you have a minute to answer a question, I’d really appreciate it.

    I am trying to enhance the social media presence for my brother in law, who is a lawyer. I have yet to figure out a good formula to d0 so.

    Have any of you managed a twitter account for an attorney? Do you have any tips?

    • Hi Pete,

      For any local business, the first key is to build a following of people in the geographic area you are targeting. The largest mistake being made by small businesses is not targeting their local audience.

      Next, you need to be tweeting interesting content if you want anyone to care about you or your account. I would use a mix of what’s happening locally, human interest stories, and maybe even some attorney humor (sparingly – don’t go overboard).

      If the attorney was managing the account they could answer commonly asked questions and whoever manages it could share blog posts about what people need to know about hiring and working with an attorney. That could be quite a bit of your content, but again don’t go overboard because no one wants to only read about that.

      The key to understanding Twitter and any social network is that they are SOCIAL – like meeting people at a bbq or a party – not a one-way broadcast channel that only contains advertising.

      What I am trying to get bloggers, social media agencies and SEOs to understand is that they need to choose a geographic area to target and focus on that. You can still have a national or international audience, but you need to become known for your expertise about that specific geographic location.

      Instead of managing a separate account for every small business you could have one major account for Boulder that tweets interesting content about Boulder of all kinds, what’s happening locally, recommendations for local businesses and interact with others in Boulder.

      Geo-target that account so that you create a large local audience. Interact with other Boulder-based people and if you choose to have a separate account for your Boulder business those accounts can converse.

      I have posts that explain all of this. Start with the one I’ll put in CommentLuv in this reply about how to geo target Twitter accounts and then see my Twitter Best Practices for everything from How to use Twitter as a communication tool, to videos and links for newbies, to advanced strategies.

  13. I find most people use twitter for the soul purpose spamming to get traffic to their site, maybe that’s why all their links are nofollow. Besides, I also think that facebook is 100 times better then twitter. Just my personal opinion.

    • Hi Loc,

      Then you’re following the wrong people. I intentionally focus on interacting with other DoFollow CommentLuv bloggers and we all use Twitter effectively. Facebook is not very effective, but due to the large volume of people there we do use it. Some like it better than I do.

      What is it about Facebook that you find 100x better than Twitter? That you only interact with a limited number of people you choose?

  14. Thanks for your tips. I am using twitter and going good in it. Got PR 4 also. Nice article to get traffic on twitter. It is really nice tips.

    Reply

  15. As a matter of fact I so much prefer facebook instead of twitter as it so much more social and there you not only reposting and reposting but really have any personal attitude to the people and things you are posting.

    • Hi Adie,

      Honestly I have to force myself to sign into Facebook I dislike it that much; however, it can be used for good. It is just so slow and unusable – probably by design to keep people so busy they can’t accomplish much.

      The platform isn’t so important as what you do with it and especially as who you interact with. It is the people that matter.

      In the future please Use KeywordLuv instead of hanging links off the ends of comments. It is much easier and more effective. Many bloggers will delete any comment that adds a link the way you have done here. See additional insights in the post I’ve put in CommentLuv in this reply.

  16. I have twitter but I seldom use it. It’s not as exciting as Facebook. However,Twitter is useful to promote and to get some ideas from those people you follow.

    • Hi Mariae,

      If you don’t find Twitter exciting you are probably not using it as effectively as you could. See the basic tips at the top of my Twitter Best Practices post.

  17. I’ll think about using Twitter like you said. I agree with Loc, Facebook is better, but what you said in this article is very interesting.

    Reply

    • Hi Roger,

      Twitter is much faster, more efficient and allows you to connect with people you do not already know. In contrast, Facebook is slow, unusable and geared more to interacting with people you already know.

      Twitter is also an easy way to remember and find people. If you choose a Twitter username that is short and memorable it is a fast path to whatever link you put in your bio there. Instead of remembering domain names or how to find someone on Facebook I just plug them into Twitter and find their bio and blog or business quickly and easily that way.

      Businesses can also target a specific geographic area more easily on Twitter than on Facebook (unless you buy ads).

      • I agree with everything you say. However I have something to add – Facebook has groups, events and apps – businesses can take advantage of them when promoting themselves. Don’t get me wrong – Twitter is useful, but Facebook is more useful

  19. Interesting tips. And I have to agree with you. Twitter for me has become one of the top sources of traffic aside from SEO. It’s amazing how one tweet there can do so many things for us, especially if we have a huge network of followers.

    Anyway, thank you for sharing this. I’m highly considering it since it’s a once a year promo. 🙂

    Happy holidays!

  21. Ah, this is the first time I am hearing about JustRetweet, sorry about the ignorance I am new to the scene but I am slowly trying to learn. I have just registered a new twitter account for my site and I will certainly be using this tool for gaining more retweets and followers. I am sure the VIP featured option will help a lot of marketers.

  22. This is insightful but it seems that you may receive a lot of empty followers. I would like to know how you gain followers of a more niche audience. Your post is very much appreciated.

  29. Social Media has a lot of potential and bloggers should take advantage of social networks like twitter, Facebook, etc. Thanks for your tips.

    • @Saad, I ain’t agree with you. Facebook, twitter and G+ are very in now a days. Either you have few followers on twitter or you are not marketing it properly thats why you are having few visitors from Twitter!

    • Wow! this is nice, i think we really needed a tool like this..

      @ Saad, even i was getting most of my traffic from FB, i always thought that Twitter is useless as there are numerous software’s that will do automatically tweet for you, follow users etc. One of my friend forced me to start using it and the Retweet has been doing wonders for me. Retweet has many advantages, a blog post With a retweet back link, the process is real time, which is a benefit for those tracking response time. Think of it as an electronic replacement for word of mouth, with the major difference being the ability to connect with people around the world.
