How To Get Traffic With Twitter

How to and tutorial on getting traffic to your website with Twitter.

Before you begin driving traffic to your website, read the Twitter Rules. Below are their spam rules, follow them closely or your account will be suspended.

To comply with them, consider taking the following steps. When you first make your account, only follow at most 400 people every 24 ours. Once you are following 2000 people, wait one week before using Twitter Karma or Friend Or Follower to unfollow the people not following you back. Once you do your first mass unfollow after following your first 2000 people, you should be following around 800 people and have 800 followers. After this follow 100 people a day until you get back to following 2000. Wait a week, then mass unfollow again, keep doing this until you are at 2000/2000. Never post the same tweet over and over again. Only tweet links to your site if they go to free content(such as blog posts or forum posts). Don’t follow and unfollow too many celebrities over and over again in order to stay at the top of their follower’s list. Do personal updates besides links to your posts. Retweet other people’s links to good content. Send friendly @ messages to other users, don’t just promote yourself or your site. Don’t post the same tweets across multiple accounts. Don’t retweet other peoples content without attributing it to them.

*Spam: You may not use the Twitter service for the purpose of spamming anyone. What constitutes “spamming” will evolve as we respond to new tricks and tactics by spammers. Some of the factors that we take into account when determining what conduct is considered to be spamming are:

* If you have followed a large amount of users in a short amount of time;
* If you have followed and unfollowed people in a short time period, particularly by automated means (aggressive follower churn);
* If you repeatedly follow and unfollow people, whether to build followers or to garner more attention for your profile;
* If you have a small number of followers compared to the amount of people you are following;
* If your updates consist mainly of links, and not personal updates;
* If a large number of people are blocking you;
* The number of spam complaints that have been filed against you;
* If you post duplicate content over multiple accounts or multiple duplicate updates on one account
* If you post multiple unrelated updates to a topic using #
* If you post multiple unrelated updates to a trending or popular topic
* If you repost other user’s content without attribution.

Update June 19th – Since making these videos I’ve changed my twitter account to twitter.com/TrafficBlogger.
Update July 28th – Today I changed my username back to twitter.com/HarrisonSchmidt, as during the past month I feel I have gotten significantly less retweets and users responding to my tweets than I had gotten as HarrisonSchmidt.
