More and more news come from the Twitter side. We saw recently that Twitter became the 7th social network in the UK, becoming the 91th website in terms of traffic. According to Hitwise UK, Twitter was already hitting 54th position a few weeks later (week 11) with a growth suggesting it is only the beginning of this wonderful media. Yes I am a fan.
I also gathered a few tips:
- Keep the group active with a content in relation with your target audience:
- it is important that you use at least one important keyword in your post
- use the search feature, look for hot topics on twitter and twitt them
- use the hashtags (“#”) to categorise the content. For instance, each and every post about seo should have #seo in it so other users can find your content.
- Promote the twitter group:
- use the search feature, look for users who are interested in the same topic you’re working on in your website / blog, follow the profile and start a discussion / inform that you have content on your site in relation with what he/she likes
- promote your twitter account everywhere you can, in your mail signature, your website, blog, etc. - Create a branded template (layout)
- it’ll help you be considered as a trustworthy player in the twitter world.
I’ll keep you posted for more news!

Twitter is growing in the PH. I was wondering how to maximize twitter in a budding business.
There are so many social media’s available, what makes twitter stand out and how can it counter the competition in terms of Professional networking?
Hello and thank you for your comment
For newly created brands or businesses, you need to make it happen:
- by using seo-friendly keywords in relation to your business (use google keyword suggestion + google trends tool)
- by using the search feature + twitter apps such as twilert.com (sends you on a regular basis a summary of discussions on a particular keyword) and follow people who speak about the same things as you.
- you may also use twitterfeed with more than one profile to send updates from your site/ blog on a regular basis and categorise them into various feeds (just like RSS)
