Use Twitter for Affiliate Marketing


Want to begin your affiliate career but not yet have your own website? You have your own website but do not know how to drive free traffic? Don’t worry, you can start promoting affiliate program on twitter. It is much easier than you think. Now let me brief you with the basic knowledge of twitter.

What is it?

People can post up to 140 characters every tweet. Just like a micro size blog, people update their thoughts and ideas on it to share with friends and families. It's proven to be a huge hit, millions of people using twitter every day.

So why use it?

Twitter is extremely simple to use, you even don’t need a computer. Post can be sent by  SMS message, email or RSS feed. I am sure that won’t be a problem for you.

Twitter added the “nofollow” attribute to all links on Tweets near the end of 2008. It stops search engine bots from following the link. And prevents Twitter's high PageRank from being passed on or the link being counted towards your site. Even so, Twitter is still a great tool for affiliate marketing, for creating direct traffic to your site and updating your followers with new content. Of course you can make friend with new and interesting people as well.

Remember there is a lot more to SEO, and indeed to running an online business than just building links. 


Following & Being Followed

If you follow other people, you can get alerted each time they make an update. And at the same time, others can also follow you.Twitter is a great way of keeping in touch with other people and keeping a finger on the pulse within the market you are interested. It's important to follow people, this adds you to their followers page automatically, which in turn makes it easier for Google and other search engines to find your Twitter feed. Some people who have been Twittering since the early days of Twitter, and who have lots of followers, now have a very high page rank for their feed. It's probably better to make sure that you follow less people than you have followers, otherwise it gives the impression that no one is that interested in what you have to say!

Make a Twitter Post

To make a tweet could be more easier, just login to your account, go to the home page, type your message and click update. As you can see, this is meant to be as easy as possible to enable people to easily post numerous updates throughout the day if necessary.

Just like blogs, regular Twitter updates are critical for keeping followers and the search engines to be interested in your Twitter feed. When your twitter have enough followers, you can promote affiliate program by posting tweet on this subject or drive the traffic to your own website by updating your twitter. Now, get start!
