As you’ve probably noticed, Twitter got a new paint job. They say the recent changes to our favorite birdie were inspired by Pythagoras’ “Golden Ratio” which has been applied for centuries to everything from architecture to aerodynamics. Well that’s all nice and interesting, but what does it mean for those of us who try and drive traffic via twitter? Well the more user friendly twitter may have individuals spending more time on the actual platform rather than connecting using third party apps. Twitter may also become more interactive between users in the upcoming months. Both of these could mean huge things for bloggers and sales sites alike.
Here are some tips on how to effectively use the new twitter as a marketing tool:
1. Make sure to target tweets at users who might “retweet” them.
2. Try to develop your following by following those who would fit your customer profile.
3. Make sure to check your direct messages and send them often (not to the point of spamming).
With a little luck the brand new twitter could be a powerful source of traffic for your sites. It will be interesting to see how twitter’s user base adapts to the changes.
