5 ways to increase traffic from Twitter for your websites

Bhavik Soni from Automonkey shares relevant tips on how blogs and content creators can leverage Twitter to increase traffic, engagement, and content distribution.

Twitter has over 300 million active users, with more than 500 million tweets per day. Sprout Social studied how top brand marketers are using Twitter and discovered that 92 percent of companies tweet more than once per day, and more than one-third (36 percent) of top brand tweets contain links.

When used well, Twitter can drive traffic back to your blog. Simply tweeting the title of your blog entry with a connection back to your webpage won't work. Apart from being dynamic and inventive, you'll have to interact with an ever-increasing number of individuals on Twitter.

So, let us look at some of the best ways in which you can increase the traffic from Twitter for your websites, as given below:

Use Short Tweets

You have to create interest and that can be just done by utilizing short inventive tweets with solid words. Composing convincing content in 280 characters or less can be testing. A short tweet under 100 characters tends to get a much higher engagement rate.

Consequently, you will need to make the most of each word. Whenever you are tweeting your blog entries, recollect that you don't have to stay with the title of your post.

implies that proper utilization of images ought to be woven into your content
amplification methodology. A good
engagement rate on Twitter can be a viable strategy to
increase brand awareness and traffic.

Mentioning Influencers

Using @mentions permits you to get consideration from the top influencers. So, in the event that you are tweeting different people's posts on Twitter, at that point let them know by tagging their Twitter handle. Also, make sure that you tag the relevant influencers and not just anybody.

This
increases your chances of getting noticed and sharing your content with
relevant people. You must also ensure that you actively participate in
discussions on similar topics on Twitter.

Including Hashtags

Incorporate
hashtags in your tweets linked to your blog. This gets your tweet seen by other
Twitter users looking for the themes you've expounded on. It helps others
searching for the same hashtags, find your tweet, and thus draws traffic to
your blog or Twitter page. You must make wise use of the hashtags.

For example, some people use hashtags in the sentence of the tweet itself. Try to get creative with your writing skills, and also do a background check on which hashtags are trending, so that you can include those in your tweet if they were relevant to your blog.

Tweeting Consistently & Often

frequency of posts, you can use Twitter as an endless stream of your thoughts.
