Posted October 23rd, 2009 by admin

The 140 character whiz kid know as Twitter has created a small media storm in the last few months with a plethora of stars and celebrities mentioning Twitter on their blogs , and Internet marketing gurus telling us we can leverage Twitter to new business leads , the interest in Twitter is at a record peak . You probably know people who are on Twitter and your major suppliers have probably asked you to be their Twitter fan . That segues us to our main topic . What are YOU doing about it for yourself?

It seems as though many people are still ignoring the potential of Twitter. That could be because it’s potential is disguised inbetween benile posts about breakfast choice.

Regardless of how you feel about Twitter personally, there are some great strategies you should consider and there’s a great FREE training video about that at http://www.TrafficHug.com/twittervideo/ but whatever you do, you should be doing something. Even at a minimum you have one more point of contact via Twitter , ideally with some way of people finding you by your keyword, or your name. Some people will just try to type your name on Twitter and see if you come up.

In other articles we talk about how to get noticed for your keyword and how to manage your account for targeted conversion (also covered well in that free video I mentioned earlier) but let’s do something we can do right now.

A lot of people think of Twitter traffic as being an internal affair . A concept most Twitter directories also foster. But , the advantages of having your existing traffic join you on Twitter are plentiful . So valuable that we need to take action .

One thing we can do almost immediately is to add a Twitter “badge” to your existing web entities . It’s simply a graphic saying who you are on Twitter with a link to your Twitter identity. In the videos , they reveal how , but the badge we can do now .

WHERE CAN I GET MY BADGE ?

You just paste the HTML it provides in to your page .

You can also paste the pure HTML in to most blog widgets. I’ve put one on my own blogs.

It is housed in its own little HTML DIV tag so should integrate fine almost anywhere.

You can create an HTML table or div layer to house it, then you can just paste the code in verbatim . With WYSIWYG html editors, there is usually an HTML “object” box you can place in the desired location and just place the code in to that. Adobe Dreamweaver users can just insert an AP Layer (from the insert menu) and then paste the code in to that using the HTML code view pane.

Integrating your Twitter page with your existing web properties is an essential strategy. One you can do in the next 10 minutes, with a few mouse clicks,
