I get this question all the time -
“Will Twitter drive a lot of traffic to my website?”
That is a great question and the answer is YES.
It seems like every week, I am breaking a record for number of unique’s & visitors.
Take a peak at my stats. Its hard to argue the facts.
You’ll notice its increasing! Keep in my mind this blog is only 60 days old. Also I suck at SEO (seo experts your help is welcome) - I’m not getting that much traffic from Google or other search engines. For the most part, 95% of the traffic comes directly from Twitter.
Also, I haven’t updated it as much as I should – I know the numbers would be greater if I updated it more frequently.

The most exciting thing about all of this is – the traffic seems to be gaining momentum. In the past, with other websites Ive built & manged I have relied heavily on advertising. With those sites as soon as the ads quit running the traffic came to a screeching halt.
With twitter – all I have to do is gain new followers and be active with my audience. Due to the nature of Twitter, people instinctively want to click on my site to learn more about me before following me or after seeing me Re-tweeted. It really is that simple.
I tweet about my site once or twice a day. I could do it more – but shameless self promotion deosnt seem to go over very well with Twitter followers. So I only tweet about my site when I create a new post or someone refrences it in a reply.
Take a look at my alexa rank.
Is that Impressive? I’m not sure, but I am rising every time I check it. Look at the figures for Yesterday, 7 day avg & 1 month avg - you’ll notice its going up all the time.
Another thing I’m excited about is the traffic is coming from all over the world. In the past I have created and worked on sites that were local – It was rare for me to see traffic from outside the US. Now I see traffic coming from all over the world. For some reason its exciting to see people from India, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, England, Poland, Iran, USA on my site at the same time. I use Woopra to view my traffic in real time, and its wild to see this traffic live.
Take a look at this screen shot from a recent Woopra analytic’s “countries” query.
Interesting isn’t it?
What would this kind of traffic do for your site?
If I have done this in 60 days, can you imagine what It might look like at the 6 month mark? I can.
I am excited to watch this grow and even more excited about the possibilities of Twitter.
