We’ve all heard about Twitter, but as business owners who haven’t adopted this tool for increasing traffic to their website here is some good news.

Twitter is one of the fastest growing websites in the world. As of November 2009 Twitter is now one of the top 50 sites on the internet.

One of the hottest use cases for Twitter, as you well know, is businesses communicating with their customers or potential customers. CNET News

So what’s my point? Twitter is a great way to drive traffic to your website. Without going into the specifics of how to accomplish this, I would like to introduce those Twitter users to a new service that helps them get more followers. This service is TweetLarge. TweetLarge is a Twitter service that will send you 1000 follower’s for free. With more followers, your company’s reputation increases thereby helping to gain your company additional notoriety.

And the best part, it will take less than 10 minutes to implement.

Go to TweetLarge.com and follow the 3 easy steps, and you too can have 1000 new followers for FREE.

And for those of you wondering why I haven’t been posting fresh ideas for your business marketing, my time over the past month has been helping a group of contractors network together to gain new business for the New Year. That is the bad news, the good news is my goal is to post 60 new articles over the next 60 days. So check back often to see how I’m doing and feel free to leave comments on the information I provide to help your business survive in these tough economic times.

The Lists feature of Twitter is an excellent way of organizing your friends and followers, and we have integrated the building and maintenance of lists into SocialOomph to give you even more power and convenience.
For Free and Professional Users

When you vet your new followers, you can also select the Twitter list to which a follower must be added for each follower that you approve. This functionality is only available if you’ve turned on new follower vetting on your Twitter account entry.

For Professional Users Only

As you probably know, with Friend Finder you can find potential new friends who tweet about keywords of your choice.

With our Twitter Lists integration, you can instruct the system to add new friends (after they’ve been approved) to a list of your choice.

You can connect a Twitter list to one specific keyword, or to several keywords.

For example, you could define a keyword of “@yourusername” (which will find people who mention you) and create a private list called “Mentioned Me”, which you connect to that keyword. Friend Finder will then add (after approval) the people who mention you to your Mentioned Me list.

We will maintain the list for you and automatically rotate the oldest entries out when the list reaches its maximum size of 500 Twitter users. In other words, your list will always contain the latest 500 (or less) friends that were found and approved by Friend Finder.

Nothing prevents you from manually adding Twitter users to the same lists in your Twitter web interface. Our system will not touch those entries in the list when the list reaches its maximum size. We rotate out only entries that were added to the list by Friend Finder.

As always, this Professional feature is included in the low monthly subscription fee.

Thank You For Using SocialOomph

There are many articles online that will explain how to setup an account and the importance of Twitter for generating business for your company. Many are hesitant to join in the conversation because they feel Twitter is spammy or takes too much time.

Here’s a tool that can help build a following for your Twitter account, automatically. How, by automatically following people with the same interests or occupations. The tool is called…

Twittgeek -” Automatically Follow Geeks Like You”

By simply creating a search based on a term specific to your industry or location, Twittgeek will search Twitter and automatically follow those people or companies that it found for you.

The importance of a tool like Twittgeek for anyone just starting out with Twitter, is you can have targeted followers for your company. Similar to back links with websites, you wouldn’t want to have a Shoe store linked to your website if your main business was home remodeling. So too with Twitter, you will get the most out of Twitter when you target your audience. Note: The very nature of Twitter allows anyone to follow anyone, will not preclude having anyone from following you.

Having a target audience will improve your authority within your industry.

I hope this helps in getting your company noticed online. It’s one of the many free resources available to leverage technology to promote your company.
