Twitter Tips and Tricks To Drive Traffic To Your Sites

Twitter Tips and Tricks To Drive Traffic To Your Sites

Posted on 24. Aug, 2009 by Michael in Traffic

Hello Everyone,

Every month I receive around 100,000 visitors to my websites just from Twitter alone and so can every single one of you! I know a lot of you enjoyed the tips I shared in my FREE eCourse about making money online blogging and driving traffic to your blog from Twitter so today I decided to do an updated twitter guide so you can benefit more from Twitter like myself. The great thing with Twitter is the people using it are so diverse, whatever your business is about, you can find people related to your business. I remember a friend was talking to me just before we went for dinner about how he thought Twitter was just for Internet Entrepreneurs and he wouldn’t be able to get people related to his business to follow him on Twitter. He runs a clothing company online offering some of the top brands for great prices. I quickly started a fashion focused Twitter account and before we went for dinner I started adding some followers. When we returned from dinner he had already had sales from being on Twitter for 1 hour. I was happy because he let me pick some shirts from his warehouse for showing him how to do it.

Got you interested now? OK, let’s take a look at how I did it for FREE:

Driving Traffic From Twitter

When I tell people I was able to get over 80,000 followers in 6 months, their jaws drop! Quite frankly it was easy, using automated software to add, delete, tweet and so much more saves me so much time, drives me more traffic and in result, makes me more money! Sounds good? Sure does, follow in my footsteps by using one of the programs below:

Market Me Tweet, the only Twitter Application that allows you to Brand, Market, and Manage, all in one! To Download Market  Me Tweet, Please Click Here!

Twitter Adder to be the match for those who still want to drive crazy traffic for FREE from Twitter. To Download Twitter Adder, Please Click Here!

Driving Traffic From Twitter To Your Blog

When I use Twitter, I use it so I can update my readers about what’s new on my websites and what I’m doing, just like everyone else seems to do. The different, everyone else has around 100 followers and so it doesn’t really make much of a difference to the traffic that goes to their website. I have around 80,000 followers now and I will share how you can quickly catch up.

Now before I go too far, I think it is important to say that while I am a huge fan of Twitter (being able to search real time about current happenings or events is awesome) – I should say that of late, Twitter has also been the subject of spammers or automated accounts set up to drive traffic to less than good websites. What I am about to reveal is not about being a spammer, it is about legitimate business people getting the best out of twitter and also about legitimate business people being fully up to speed on the techniques other Twitter users are using.

Lets get Started:

The first thing you need to do to get more followers is add more people, but adding 80,000 people must take for ever… Luckily there are tools that will allow you to automatically do most of your Twitter marketing, from adding people, deleting, tweeting and much more. I personally recommend two great pieces of software, Market Me Tweet or Tweet Adder, they both allow you to add more people, but Market Me Tweet also gives you a bunch of extra branding options.

This is the way I add people, it doesn’t mean it’s right, it’s just how I do it. Firstly find some big names in your industry that will have people following them that will also be interested in following yourself. For example if you have a Celebrity blog, you may want to go Perez Hilton’s twitter profile, then click on followers, now in the top left will be a button saying “Add All Followers”. It will automatically start adding one of his followers every 2 seconds till its added 1000. Then after 1000 people it will stop adding, this is because Twitter has a limit to only being able to add 1000 friends a day. Now you do this every day, usually at the same time, I recommend between 4 – 6pm (that is UK time) as this usually is the most active time on Twitter and you’re more likely to get people follow you back if they are online at the time you add them. Usually from adding 1000 people, I will get around 400 view my profile and click my website URL which means I get 400 highly targeted visitors in 24 hours. Bare in mind this is just the first point of contact, they will also revisit when I tweet and more people will visit when my followers retweet my tweets to their followers.

Perez Hiltons Twitter Followers

Finding Twitter profiles related to your niche can begin to get hard, when I struggle to find people related to my niche’s I use a website called WeFollow which basically lists top Twitter users in different groups, for example in Social Media category Mashable is the top profile, he runs the top blog about social media which means if you also have a blog about social media, you would do good to follow his followers.

Deleting People On Twitter Can Be Important

A lot of the stuff I’m about to share with you is stuff I don’t use myself because its not necessary for me but it is definitely something you should know about, even if you don’t use it all. The first thing about adding 1000 people a day is that you will be following 600 people more every day then will be following you back so your account will have a lot less people following it then your following which will not make you look very popular. With Twitter, you want to make yourself look as popular as possible so people will be more likely to follow you, think about it this way, would you follow someone who is following 500 people and only has 200 people following him back? probably not. But if the person is following 500 people and has 50,000 following him back then he will look like he has something good to say so you will be a lot more likely to follow him, so social proof is really important! Below are some tips and tricks you can use to cut down the amount of people you follow on Twitter.

Automatically un-follow everyone who doesn’t follow you back is the first step to getting down the amount of people you follow. Now I don’t recommend you do this every day as it won’t give your new followers enough time to follow you and check your profile out so you should do it perhaps twice a week. The script you should use for this is Twitter Mutuality, you can unfollow everyone not following you or choose to unfollow everyone.

The next thing I do and do recommend you all do is use a site called UnTweeps which will allow you to automatically un-follow anyone you are following who hasn’t updated their profile in a few days, you may choose any amount of days you like but I think a fair amount of days would be 7 because for some reason they could just not of been able to get online. This is a great tool because if they haven’t updated then they won’t be seeing your Tweets, a lot of them will be following you back so it will make you look even popular because they won’t un-follow you because they don’t use anymore.

If you do get to the point where your following 40,000 people and you realize you really don’t want to be following all these people, then to delete everyone is really simple. Its something I don’t 100% agree with but I do see this happen a lot and then people will think your super popular. If you want to do this, the tool to use is Twollow which will allow you to delete 2000 people at a time.

Using Twitter and Blogging Together

As I mentioned above, using Twitter to drive traffic to your blog is super important and is one of the reasons for my success. To get more out of Twitter, you want to promote Twitter on your blog in a few different ways. One of the most well known ways is to add a TweetMeMe button which includes a counter of how many times people have retweeted your blog post and it allows other people to automatically retweet it themselves. To use this counter and others TweetMeMe have, click here.

For those lazy people or for those who like everything automated this next resource is really good. If you pre-publish your blog posts like me when you go away on vacation or when you have guest posters and won’t be around then you can automatically tweet when new posts are published on your Wordpress blog. Twitter Poster will take the title of a new post and will submit it to the Twitter account specified in the options. It will also add the link back to the post, allowing your twitter followers to access the post details

Other Twitter Tools I Use

Managing 80,000 Twitter followers is impossible, you can’t see what your real friends are doing and the updates that are important. For me its important to see what Young Entrepreneurs, Gurus and Web Designers are saying so I set up a group for each and added the necesary people to each group so I don’t miss a tweet – you can do this using TweetDeck.

As a lot of you know, I went away for a couple weeks and didn’t really update my sites for a month, over that time I still wanted to boost my traffic so I asked my VA to pre publish 100 tweets, a new tweet had to be sent every 2 hours and once the 100 tweets have been published, just repeat. To do this I used pre-publishing software, TweetLater. You can also use TweetLater to send automatic messages when someone new follows you, welcoming them and recommending your website. Although this is great to do, it isn’t really effective anymore as it seems everyone does it (I have over 10,000 messages, I guess 9,950 are automatic).

To Our Success,

Michael Dunlop

PS. What are your honest thoughts about Twitter because everyone has different opinions I would like to invite you to voice them so everyone gets the full picture and perhaps I could prove you wrong ;-)

If you're really considering making a living through blogging, then you absolutely have to check out Blogging To The Bank by Rob Benwell. In his book, the UK millionaire blogger reveals step by step how he makes as much as $90,480 a month from just a few hours work.

    I’ve dabbled with Twitter as a way to boost traffic but I’ve only ever promoted myself to those who are already following me, hence are already probably fans of my site.

    Actively searching for new people to follow/followers in my niche myself is so glaringly obvious yet had thus far escaped me!

    Thanks for all the advice.

    From my experience, I’ve found that building followers through an automated process leads to a lot of junk following one, without any value to your website/blog, irrespective that you selected to follow a crowd/group from a closely related niche blog/website since that doesn’t guarantee that the list itself is 100% perfect.

    To me this has led to a growing list of automated direct messages which have no value to me at all that I receive daily and which is a serious pain.

      Hey Khalid,

      When did you do this? Typically I don’t regret that you just go out and follow 1000 people and have 0 followers becauses its obviously build for spam, slowly build it into a list that works.

    Hello Again Michael,

    Another Great Post by one of the best .YOU!.I also wrote a small post on my Blog about Twitter.com.Here it is…As Follows…

    I know everyone on Twitter doesn`t have the time to check out every little detail on the Twitter Site , so I found this Secret location for you that haven`t found it as of yet.This is what you do.

    Scroll all the way down on your home page in your Twitter account..Then you come to a little narrow tool bar or task bar. Then you click on the API Link. when you are directed to the next page or as I call it,

    Twitters back office.,you then look on the left side of this page until you see Twitter fan wiki.Then you click the twitter fan wiki link… When directed to the next page or further into the back office, you look for APPS.

    This APPS Link should be the first link on the left side of the page. Click the APPS Link and from there you will see so much information that is related to Twitter and what Twitter is up to.Everyone interested in Twitter should look
    into this Back Office.

    Like You Say,
    To Our Success,

    Thank you so much for the wealth of information on Twitter that you provide!! I know that Tweeting has driven a lot of customers my way by triple if not more. I got my daughter on Twitter and her traffic also quadrupled but she won’t admitt to me that I helped her? Mother daughter dynamic is difficult!! LOL Oh well it is good to be helpful in this world. I do believe that what goes around comes around. You do receive in proportion to what you give in this life and not just online. I will be studying a lot more about what you have to say. I have had a lot of viewers to my online shop but not necessarily customers? I think you hit it on the head when you say that we need to choose our followers wisely. I have just started to figure this out and with what you have said here in this article is awesome!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so very much for paying it forward!!!!

      With your online store, look for one related to yours and then find there followers. For example Zappos and ASOS, two huge online stores have a great following on twitter.

    Let’s say I use the “Add All Followers” option and like you said I follow 1000 new people. What happens in the day after that? Does the script know to continue from the last person I’ve added? Or should I seek for another popular twitter user?

    Michael, good solid tips. I am new to using Twitter so your tips help.
    I can recommend Tweeterfeed.com, with this free tool you can add a RSS Feed to be published on your Twitter accounts. I have one feed from my weblog connected to Twitter and for our website and online shop we do the same with product updates that we automatically publish in a feed and this links through to the Twitter accounts that belong to these websites.
    The Twitterfeed dashboard shows how many times a feed was clicked.

    Dear Michael,

    If I follow the above steps for following people above, will it get me past the 2,000 that Twitter currently has as my limit? I have about 820 people following me and I am following about 1,999. I know that if I keep following others I will receive a message saying “limit reached”. Does this process above with the FF and plug-ins get around that?

    Thanks for your help.

      Hello Bill,

      The plug-in doesn’t get round this, once you get close to 2000 followers it will start to let you go past 1999 following. Just take it easy and slowly at the start.

    Great post Micheal!

    Another tool I might add which is very useful with Twitter is DM whacker. Its a little script a bit like greasemonkey which will delete all your direct message. It’s quite handy as if you use your script to add everyone, you get lots of auto responses which fills your inbox right up.

    Great tips, here Michael.

    I was wondering if it’s smart to un-follow everyone not following you? Some people / sites (like this one) don’t follow all of their followers, but I want their updates.

    Also, how should you handle the amount of followers? I know it’s polite to follow those who follow you, but honestly I don’t know how I can make real connections if I try to follow 5000 people. So as you start to unfollow people, will they dump you too, or do they just not notice?

    It is a great post with lot of information. But the problem is plenty for me. I have over 1600 followers and I follow 1300 people. I followed your instructions and I clicked on the follow all button. Th page was updating but it stopped in between and showed error message. I would like to know more about it. How to correct it and have more followers??

    Hi Michael,

    I’m afriad my account got suspended today, using these tips, especially the mutality one. Do you think twitter will reinstate my account and return it to its original state? I would hate to lose all of the followers I had….

    I’ve been able to follow this technique for about 2 or 3 times, but I now have not been able to follow anyone for a few days in a row. I can’t follow manually or automatically via the script. There’s always a message saying “You are unable to follow more people at this time. Learn more here.” – I don’t know what to do now, it’s so annoying not to be able to add anyone.

    Did anyone else experienced this issue before? Is my account being under spam suspicion maybe? Or has Twitter kind of discovered the automatic patterns of the script and is now penalizing everyone who has been using it?

    Hi Michael, Just wondered if you had heard the rumours about people using scripts such as greasemonkey are in danger of being banned due to it being considered ‘not in the spirit or Twitter’. I myself think its a great way to do it, just wanted your take on it

    Great article Michael,

    I am having one problem. I followed your steps to use grease monkey. When I log on to twitter and hit “follow” it follows about 10 people and is says “you are unable to follow people at this time, chick here” than I get a message that says “You do not have access to entry #14959. It may have been deleted.” It is not allowing me to follow 1000 people a day? Any suggestions?

    Can someone let me know what version of greasemonkey and firefox they are running on? I’ve tried on several operating systems and still cannot get the script to work. Other greasemonkey scripts work great. this one has been giing me trouble.

    Thanks for the tips Michael. I enjoyed reading and implementing the tools as I went along. However, Twitter must have changed something since August (when you first wrote the post) because there isn’t an “add all followers” button any longer. Good tips anyway.

    Hey Michael,

    I need some quick advice. I bought Tweet Adder and have been following a ton of targeted baseball players and fans…but have not seen a lot of follow backs. Maybe 5%-10%.

    Do you have any advice for improving the amount of users that follow back?

    Thanks Mike
