Twitter Micro Blogging


Back in 2006 Twitter was a flourishing new social networking / micro blogging site. Today, twitter is ranked as one of the 50 most popular websites worldwide by Alexa’s web traffic analysis. Although estimates of the number of daily users vary because the company does not release the number of active accounts, a February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network based on their count of 6 million unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits. In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009.

So are YOU using Twitter?  Back in 2007 I posted an entry titled, ‘What’s All the Twitter About“, before what seemed like everyone on the planet decided to get a Twitter account.  I wasn’t sure how long Twitter would last but as it turns out it’s usefulness would mature over time.

Today, Twitter is used for numerous personal and business applications such as:

  • Personal and Corporate Branding
  • Event and Special Promotion Announcements
  • Customer Service
  • Feedback Requests
  • Petitions
  • Traffic Generation
  • and much more

So let’s capitalize on the success of Twitter and help your affiliate program listings on Top Affiliate.  If you currently have a Twitter account simply cut and paste your Twitter RSS feed link into your dierctory listing.

Sure, it would be more beneficial to use your website RSS feed but if you don’t have a blog a Twitter feed will work just fine.  Please checkout the below screenshot to see where you can add an RSS feed to your listing on Top Affiliate.

Here’s a great example of how the affiliate network Flex Offers uses Twitter to promote special promotions, incorporated into their listing on the Top Affiliate Directory:

So there you have it.  This should keep your affiliate listing page fresh in the search engines.  Happy micro blogging!
