How to get more traffic using Twitter For Business

Twitter.com has produced a small media storm in the last few months with a media frenzy of subject gurus discussing Twitter on their blogs , and Internet marketing gurus telling us we should use Twitter to hundreds of fans , the exposure to Twitter is pretty high. You most likely know people on Twitter and your major suppliers have probably asked you to be their Twitter fan . And that last point is what I want to mention today . What are YOU doing about it for yourself?

Twitter doesn’t look like it will disappear any time soon. In the meantime some are jumping on the band wagon, while others sit in the sidelines bemused.

Despite what you think of Twitter for yourself, there are opportunities you should deploy 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 surfers search for you and your rival , or a cyber squatter, has beaten you to your own name.

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.

Many people perceive Twitter traffic as an internal channel of Twitter itself . A concept most Twitter directories also foster. But , the advantages of having your normal traffic subscribe to you on Twitter are many fold. So enormous that we need to take action today .

The easiest thing is to add a Twitter “badge” to your existing web entities . A Twitter badge is a graphic saying who you are on Twitter with a link to your Twitter page. In the videos , you’ll see how , but the badge we can do now .

WHERE CAN I DOWNLAOD MY TWITTER BADGE ?
You can get your own customised Twitter badge at no cost from this site ;

You paste the HTML in to your site.

You can also paste the pure HTML in to most blog widgets. I’ve inserted one on all of my own blogs.

The Badge is supplied in its own code block so should reside fine almost anywhere.

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