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.

But however you approach your Twitter strategy 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.

We have other articles on getting targeted traffic, but let’s look at something we can do in ten minutes We’ll take a more detailed look at finding fans but first let’s explore a quick and easy option.

A lot of people limit themselves to thinking Twitter traffic as being an internal affair . A concept most Twitter directories also foster. But , the advantages of having your existing clients subscribe to you on Twitter are huge . So huge that we need to start integrating immediately .

The easiest thing is to add a Twitter “badge” to your web presences . A badge is just an image stating who you are on Twitter with a hyperlink to your Twitter profile. In the videos , you’ll discover a lot more , but a badge will start us off in a good direction .

WHERE CAN I DOWNLAOD MY TWITTER BADGE ?
You can get your own customised Twitter badge at no cost from this site ;
http://wwwTwitterHug.com/twitter/category/badge/ - FollowMe Twitter Badge .

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

It also works on Wordpress blogs. I’ve put them on all of my own blogs.

The Twitter badge is provided in its own code block so should live perfectly 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.

The rewards from promoting your own Twitter profile are immense. From SEO to relationships to direct sales.
