7 Tips for Driving Targeted Traffic With Twitter

“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.
