Using Twitter to Generate Traffic to Any Website

The first thing we should do is look at the numbers. Traffic generation, as always, is a matter of understanding the numbers and knowing how to maximize the quality of the quantity.

The key to Twitter-fed traffic generation is creating followers. Approximately 25-30% of followed Twitter members will follow you in return. If the Twitter account looks like a spam blog, no one will follow it. If the Twitter account concerns a topic in which the Twitter member might have some interest, they will follow it. You will also need more than one Twitter account because each account caps at 2000 followers. You must have an individual email account for each Twitter account so act accordingly. Two to three accounts per targeted keyword stream is suggested.

The steps to making your Twitter account worth following are few but crucial.

You will need to choose your Twitter name carefully. A Twitter name that reflects the topic of your traffic stream is best for this purpose. For instance, a traffic stream which markets anime games may ideally be called something such ass anime_games (although we're sure it is taken). You will also want an icon that reflects the topic of this Twitter account. You may want to select a Twitter design that works seamlessly with the page to which you are sending traffic. A custom background to match your traffic target page would be ideal for a seamless design.

Twitter-related tools are legion, as we've mentioned. There are so many tools that there are a lot of good Twitter tools. You will need tools for Twitter account harvesting and following. The one many use is Twollo. Other similar program with their own strengths and weaknesses are Social Oomph, (which was once called Tweet Later and has other functions), Mr. Tweet and Tweet Added.

You may need tools for automated Tweeting. Social Oomph does this along with several other programs including Twuffer. There are too many of those to mention all the great ones in this article. A Google search with relevant, targeted keywords is advised.

Productivity applications include apps with the ability to "Tweet" money, streamline and filter your followers to weed out the spam merchants, modify your Tweets according to current requirements, run a Tweet calendar, and many more.

The question is not how to generate traffic with Twitter. The real problem will be in discerning what to do with all the traffic you have generated.
