How to get more traffic using Twitter For Business

The micro bloging platform Twitter has produced a lot of attention in the last few months with a army of stars and celebrities mentioning Twitter on their blogs , and Internet marketing gurus telling you, you can use Twitter to create hundreds of followers , the talk about Twitter is hard to avoid . You almost certainly know people 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?

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.

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. I mean a few people are just going to wonder if your business (or you) are on Twitter and type in twitter dot com slash acme widgets. Now it will be embarrassing is a cyber squatter is sitting on your own name, so another good reason to make sure you secure your place in the Twit’o’sphere. (By the way things can be done about cyber squatters, just ask me.)

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 stemming from Twitter internally . A concept most Twitter directories also foster. But with Twitter , the advantages of having your existing clients follow you on Twitter are many fold. So enormous that we need to start integrating immediately .

One thing we can do almost immediately is to add a Twitter “badge” to your web presences . A Twitter badge is a graphic saying who you are on Twitter with a link to your Twitter profile. In the videos I mentioned , they reveal how , but the badge we can do now, with no excuses.

WHERE CAN I CREATE MY BADGE ?
You can get your own customised Twitter badge at zero cost from the following website ;
http://www.TwitterDominator.com/followme_badges.php – Free Twitter badge .

You just paste the HTML it provides in to your page .

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

The Badge is supplied in its own little HTML DIV tag so should exist happily 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.

There couldn’t be anything easier than using a Twitter badge. And it’s the glue that links your web 2.0 with your normal web. Don’t miss the boat.
