7 Tips for Driving Targeted Traffic With Twitter

Author rtekpro    Category Twitter     Tags ,

“A post we got found at www.socialmediaexaminer.com that talks about 7 ways to drive traffic to your site using twitter”

Social media has many uses—from making contacts to performing customer service—but driving quality traffic to your site is Twitter’s secret weapon. The big question is this: How can we get more of that lovely attention we crave?

#1: Know your audience
Growing your traffic always starts with your audience if you want to do it right. Untargeted, uninterested “hits” are a waste of time and resources at worst, and at best just pure vanity.

What does your audience want and need?
How do they like it delivered?
Which topics are on their minds right now?
Are there trends that are growing in popularity?
How do these folks speak? What words and phrases do they use?
This means that driving traffic starts with listening and observing. Get to know your target so you can most efficiently engage them.

Twitter has a tool for this. Use search.twitter.com to find what people in your niche are talking about and follow some of their conversations.

Once you get an idea of what people are interested in, join in those conversations and talk to people.

Inspiration: Colorful and Vivid Logos

“A post from from the popular VectorTuts.com that shows some colorful logos for your inspiration , get inspired!”

The world as we see it, is populated by colors. Every day we see brands and businesses using colors to define their identity (for example, the famous “yellow M” of a multinational fast-food chain). Although logos are traditionally made with minimal colors, the shift towards full color is unmistakable. In fact, a recently published article by Logo Lounge states that, for many years logos have been designed with one or two colors and recently designers have begun to look at the actual surface of the shapes as an entirely new canvas and the use of color is unrestrained. The article goes on to say that, rainbow-like color is often used to represent the concept of a full spectrum, more choices, or additional capabilities. In this compilation we present to you a selection of colorful and vivid logos that are fresh, inspiring and push creative boundaries.

“This post we found from webdesignledger.com, talks about 30 examples of  website navigation.”

A website’s navigation allows visitors to get from page to page and discover content. That makes it pretty important, I would say. However, some designers feel the need to experiment and try to be clever with navigation design, but when getting around a website becomes a puzzle, visitors will more often leave frustrated. A website’s nav or menu should look like a nav. It should stand out while still matching the rest of the design, and it should be in a location where users expect it. So to give you some inspiration in this area, here are 30 Examples of Excellent Website Navigation.
