The 140 character whiz kid know as Twitter has fashioned a small media storm this year with a media frenzy of stars and celebrities discussing Twitter on their television shows , and Internet marketing gurus telling us we can leverage Twitter to create hundreds of followers , the interest in Twitter is at a record peak . You almost certainly have friends and work colleagues on Twitter and you’ve most likely had Twitter invites from your leading suppliers . That brings us neatly to my point . What are YOU doing about it for yourself?
A lot of people, actually I think most, don’t even “get” Twitter. And that’s partly because it can be many different things to almost as many people. And to some extent, they may even be all true, at least to that person.
Regardless of how you feel about Twitter personally, there are some great strategies you should consider 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 today A right now We’ll take a more detailed look at building a targeted list but first let’s explore a quick and easy option.
Most people perceive Twitter traffic as being an internal affair . A concept most Twitter directories promote . But in the real Twitter , the advantages of having your existing traffic join you on Twitter are plentiful . So valuable that we need to do something about it .
The easiest thing is to add a Twitter “badge” to your existing web entities . A badge is a simple graphic stating who you are on Twitter with a hyperlink to your Twitter identity. In the videos I mentioned , they go in to how you extend that concept , but the badge will get our toe in the water for today .
WHERE CAN I GET MY TWITTER BADGE ?
You can get your own customised Twitter badge for zilcho from here ;

You simply paste the HTML code it provides in to your website, store, or blog and your customised graphic with active link, will magically appear .
It also works on Wordpress blogs. I’ve inserted one on all of my own blogs.
It is contained in its own little HTML DIV tag so should live easily almost anywhere.
If you create a table or div tag to position it in , then you can just paste the code in in that place . 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.
