| Here are 5 twitter tips for businesses:
1. Helps your SEO and search-engine rankings try to use your most effective keywords in your tweets and track your links to your landing pages that has a specific call-to-action. Some great URL shortening and tracking tools are compared on Search Engine Land. 2. Monitor what people are saying about you. You can monitor the tweets about you by searching for your ID, company name, industry segment and by watching @ replies. 3. Make interesting tweets. Like most other things on the web, one way to get people to follow you is to post information they want to know about. 4. Have a goal for using Twitter and a way to measure how you’re doing at achieving that goal. Guy Kawasaki, suggested one good tool for doing that is Retweetist, which shows how many times you’ve been retweeted. (A retweet is when someone repeats what you said so people they know will see it.) 5. Copy best practices. On Twitter that means looking at how other companies are effectively using Twitter to engage with their customers and build buzz. JetBlueAirways and Amazondeals were two of the good examples on Twitter. |
