I've never tweeted or twitted or whatever the heck it's called. I've never even been to the website. There are already too many places to waste valuable time. But reading some responses here suggest I may be overlooking a useful purpose some other time wasting sites are useless for and that specifically is SEO.
Can someone please explain how it can be used for that purpose?
Twitter is going to be the most powerful tool on the Internet to network with the masses of people who have similar interests with yourself. Start positioning yourself ahead of that growth and start developing followers .... primarily by following people with similar interests (domains, affiliate marketing, network marketing, web designers, SEO, cooking, pets, whatever).
It could be very likely Twitter will drive more traffic to your websites than search engines which is the case with many people already. Don't use it for spamming but communicating and networking with others - "Be Yourself" - provide useful information to others - people will visit your sites listed for your URL without any begging! It won't hurt to everyonce in awhile to point people to a new article in your blog or whatever ..... as long as you are providing people value..... they will appreciate it. You can also talk about your business without it being "spammy". (Example .... If Adam tweeted directing people to a good post from a dnforum member or mentioning things he learned the last year in domains .... it will attract people.) Here is one tweet I did "If interested in prices of "reported" domain name sales - visit
http://dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm... every week - Ron Jackson's site is A++" - that is helpful info that isn't even my site.
Often here on forums we (which means me as well) tend to get into spats. Don't do it on Twitter! Attract people to yourself by conversing with people. When you "tweet" with other people and people like what you are saying .... they follow you. I recommend mutually following people back that have similar interests or that seem to be good characters in general. (I don't follow back people trying to selling products with every tweet they do - nor do many other people). I personally will un-follow people who don't follow me back after 2-4 days .... why because Twitter has limitations on the amount of people you can follow unless a similar % follow you back and I want "masses of people" following me.
Learn from others - I have learned so much in the last 2 weeks from people & their sites. I am connecting with people all over who once lived in my area. I am developing relationships ..... which is the key no matter what business you are in.
Start Tweeting Yesterday !
PS - When I started this post - I had 2265 people following me - now it is 2270 that can see my updates (comments) when I post them or by visiting my profile (and my website URL listed). How many will it be this time next year? Get the point?
