Recent report shows that social networking site is now more popular than email. I have done my findings and noticed that Twitter has a skyrocket growth recently. It has high Alexa ranking which is #48. (replaced Facebook position, Facebook ranked #48 previously, #4 currently). Facebook is the most popular network around. Between Facebook and Twitter, you can build quite a following.
Twitter, is a popular Web 2.0 client and it has many usage. It allows you to discuss topics to others, throughout the day via Twitter. Thus, it can be a useful tool for your business or as a way to promote your blog or website.
How To Get Targeted Traffics With Twitter?
Once you have updated your blog, try to ask some questions there to check what is your follower think about the subject. Write a post about the status of financial issue, you may try to ask, “What is your opinion about global financial crisis?” and then link to your blog.
To increase more traffic, you have to start twittering away, follow people who interest you, and keep twittering. If let say you have 500 followers, and you post informative and entertaining post in your Twitter updates. You may get great amount of traffics if your follower interest with your link and content since they might repost it to their 500 of visitors. It’s a domino effect if done correctly.
If you get visitors to your blog from Twitter and they leave comments, be sure to go and visit their blogs and do the same or reply. The more active in commenting people the more likely your follower will venture over to your blog.
Do Not Try To Use Twitter For Spamming
Make sure that you are not abuse the Twitter just a means by which you promote your blog or being too spammy. And, you must be careful how many people you follow a day. You can be banned if you abuse their system for spamming purpose.

Ya… twitter is quite useful to increase blog traffic. Now many bloggers are using it already but some still not using it for some reasons. :p
Congrats on getting higher PR 😉
Erm, Twitter is more than a micro-blogging platform. 😉
to me, twitter can increase blog traffic. But cannot replace blog.
Hello.
Did you ever think about starting your own blog? There are many great platforms, but by far the best is WordPress. It is easy to set up, however the themes just never fit my desires. I looked for a simple solution to this problem and realized that there wasn’t one. I then had a template custom made for my needs and was so happy with the outcome. I then decided to build a website that would show the world how to simply hire an expert in wordpress design.

Hi David!
I agree with your advice about not using your Twitter account purely to promote your blog or website.
I mean, if I follow someone and all they do is send me links to visit their blog… I might as well un-follow and just subscribe to their RSS feed right?
I think a 1 to 10 ratio would be quite nice (1 website promo message vs 10 non-website related messages).
great information site! My partner and i am loving this!! Definitely will come back again – using you feeds also,
