Encabler

The micro bloging platform Twitter has carved itself quite a buzz in the last few months with a media frenzy of stars and celebrities using Twitter on their television shows , and Internet marketing gurus telling us we can leverage Twitter to hundreds of fans , the talk about Twitter is hard to avoid . You probably know people on Twitter and suppliers may have invited you to join them on Twitter . And that last point is what I want to mention today . What are YOU doing about it for yourself?

Twitter doesn’t look like it will disappear any time soon. In the meantime some are jumping on the band wagon, while others sit in the sidelines bemused.

But however you approach your Twitter strategy 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. The least you’re likely to achieve is a handful of great relationships , ideally with some way of people finding you by your keyword, or your name. I mean a few people are just going to wonder if your business (or you) are on Twitter and type in twitter dot com slash acme widgets. Now it will be embarrassing is a cyber squatter is sitting on your own name, so another good reason to make sure you secure your place in the Twit’o’sphere. (By the way things can be done about cyber squatters, just ask me.)

In other articles we talk about how to get noticed for your keyword and how to manage your account for targeted conversion (also covered well in that free video I mentioned earlier) but let’s do something we can do right now.

Some business owners limit themselves to thinking Twitter traffic as stemming from Twitter internally . A concept most Twitter directories also foster. But in the real Twitter , the advantages of having your normal traffic subscribe to you on Twitter are enormous . So beneficial that we need to take action .

A very quick solution is to add a Twitter “badge” to your web presences . A badge is just an image showing who you are on Twitter with an active link to your Twitter identity. In the videos , there’s more advanced material , but a badge will start us off in a good direction .

WHERE CAN I GET MY TWITTER BADGE ?
You can get your own customised Twitter badge at no cost from this site ;
http://wwwTwitterHug.com/twitter/category/badge/ – FREE Customised Twitter FollowMe Badges .

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 .

You can also paste the pure HTML in to most blog widgets. I’ve placed them on all my blogs.

The Twitter badge is housed in its own code block so should integrate easily almost anywhere.

You can create an HTML table or div layer to house it, then you can just paste the code in easily . 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.

Integrating your Twitter page with your existing web properties is an essential strategy. One you can do in the next 10 minutes, with a few mouse clicks,
