To Tweet or not to Tweet?

I read many posts about Twitter on ActiveRain and I got hooked on Twitter. Here are a few Twitter related online approaches that I am doing and you can decide if they are worth it.

Analytics I made my Twitter account and I started Tweeting. Everybody is following somebody and I decided to follow. Someone mentioned Twitter Lists and I made my own. Real estate list, local list, sport list, etc.

Of course Google analytics is the place where I am monitoring the map of my soon to be finished website. As you all know the traffic is divided between referring sites, direct traffic and search engines.

I was pleasantly surprised with the numbers from my newly started Twitter. I have an average of 3 page visits per visitor from Twitter. Bounce rate is about 50%, and the visitors are local.

Twitter

Meanwhile, I found 2 awesome Twitter websites. Twitter yellow pages www.twellow.com and Near by Tweets on www.nearbytweets.com, wich are great for your local Twitter needs.

Hey that is great, Haris. Whatever works. As you mentioned, don't spread yourself thin.

Hi Haris.

I use Tweetdeck and sometimes I text my tweet. I spend more time blogging though because for me it's more effective than microblogging :P ~ Lana

Haris, I wasn't able to find a way to embed the Google analytics code on my twitter account. Did I understand you correctly you were able to do that?

Lana ~ I spend more time on the blog too, but is nice to see that some traffic comes from Twitter.

Marcia ~ Thanks for stopping by.

Steve ~ I don't think you can use Google analytics on Twitter. Code is in my website. The traffic I mentioned above came from Twitter to my site.

Hi Haris, I think I'm going to try to work on my Facebook Fan page more than Twitter. I think it fits my style better.

Haris, great information, I use Twitter to spread the word about my listings as well as spreading the word when I post something. I have not tracked the visitors...so this is refreshing to hear. Have a great weekend

Jenny ~ I still don't have my Facebook page :( . I need to get working that.

Nov 27, 2009 01:30 PM

Thanks for stopping by Endre. I do the same with Twitter. No more than couple of tweets a day.
