Traffic is very important to any business and hence the need to look at different ways in directing more traffic to your site in any available means at your disposal. When you come to using twitter to ensure more traffic is generated in your blog you can do this effectively with a clear understanding of twitter and how it works. You can use one of the methods below to get traffic to your twitter account;
a) Use twitter to increase your Squidoo lenses, website and blog posts traffic.
Using an easy post to your twitter account will give you an upper hand in terms of getting more traffic to your blog post or your website or your Squidoo lens. These may look similar to feeds but you can use the twitter posts to look for new visitors or to remind existing ones about your lens, blog or website.
b) Use twitter account to establish links with your readers.
Your readers just see your posts on twitter but they don't see you. When doing the writing and the posting your readers are no where near you. They just come across what you have posted and read it. When using twitter you are able to connect to your readers and have a direct conversation with them. You are in a position to demonstrate your human values more in the conversation than when you are writing on posts. This communication will help them understand you better and this will increase the number of people coming to your blog.
c) Your brand should be growing.
You can develop your brand using your twitter account. This means you can decide what identity that goes with your brand you are going to use in twitter to promote your brand and associate with it when posting to your twitter account. This is very essential because it will help you look like an established person ready to do business using your twitter account. All the posts that you post on twitter should then reflect that identity so that people can start viewing you from that angle. This is a good way to get traffic to your site because all the posts on twitter will have a link to your website.
d) Doing some thorough research.
With the use of twitter you can prey on your target market and establish all that they may be in need of and how to supply whatever they may be in need of. It's very possible to do that because many of them are your followers and you might know what they do and what they use. Because you talk with them it's very easy to establish and understand what they require even if it means asking them.
