Advertising with Twitter
Twitter was said to release a new feature for their users: advertisements. Considering that Twitter has a PageRank of 9, any links and advertisements on Twitter can be found quickly on Google relatively from the Twitter domain, which makes promoting your website more effective. Tweeting, Twitter's most important feature in the entire website, is a free and useful service that offers people to propose a 140-character message that states what that person is currently doing. However, tweets are more conveniently used for their large-audience exposure, and advertisers mainly abuse the service to promote their website and/or business. Here's how a tweet works... a Twitter user has followers (which are other Twitter users that 'become a fan' of that user), and those followers serve a purpose as being the 'audience' for that user, being acknowleged of the user and his tweets. As stated before, tweets are 140-character long messages that Twitter users can post any time they want; they can be used to show off a link, exercise their thoughts on life, and exclaim how their day has been going so far. The user tweets a message, and his/her followers are notified about the tweet on their own profile. So basically, the more followers that a user has, the more 'proposed' the tweet(s) is. And that is a great way to have your tweeted advertisement seen. I will get more into subject on that later on in this article.
If you do not have an account on Twitter, yet you would like to go ahead and start advertising your website with Twitter, then this paragraph of the article is for you. If you are not a newbie with Twitter, then you may omit this part of the article. Start off by registering an account on Twitter. Once you register with a valid username, email, and password, you are more than ready to start advertising. But, hold up- not yet! You can't just go ahead and start posting advertisement tweets! You first need to receive some followers. There are many excellent and free Twitter follower websites that you can quickly join on and immediately gather up some followers. The ideal amount of followers that you should acquire is around 100. If you have less than 100 followers, you more than likely will not redeem success in maintaining positive results in your website from advertising; you are probably just wasting your time by tweeting advertisements to less than 100 members- and rarely 10% of your followers would be the ones taking interest in the advertisement, maybe less than that. (Keep in mind that the more followers that you have, the more exposure your advertisement tweets receive.) When you are finished with obtaining the idealistic amount of followers that you want, you may start advertising via tweets. When tweeting the advertisements, be sure to use attractive material that will get people clicking on your link, but at the same time, keep the message to a convenient, no-greater-than-140-characters message by using shortened links and minor vocabulary.
Not only could you advertise with your own Twitter account, but you could have others advertise for you as well. You see, if you ask a friend (or pay someone) to tweet an advertisement for your website, then that person's followers will be the ones viewing the tweet advertisements and checking out your website! The followers might would even want to retweet the tweet, and that could continue passing the tweeted advertisement down from profile to profile all over Twitter! The more backlinks from Twitter to your website that you receive, the more popular your website will get and the more traffic you will accumulate, and I stated before, the more results of your website (from the Twitter domain) will show up on Google and other search engines.
