How to Optimize your Twitter Profile Traffic

November 28, 2008 by JR Farr

So much traffic to your Twitter Profile but how do you optimize it?

Today I wanted to touch on a great way to leverage and optimize the traffic coming through your Twitter Profile. Let’s face it, Twitter and other social sites for that matter are taking off. The traffic and interaction of people on these social sites is tremendous day in and day out.

Make your background personal

When you have a twitter profile you are able to make it your own. You can change a variety of the colors, change the background image, etc. I want to show you a few examples on ways you can alter or change your Twitter profile background to promote your brand. Below you find two examples of both mine and Aaron Dommer’s Twitter Profiles. You can see by both screenshots we are promoting a couple different sites and it also matches our profiles.

You can see I have made my background a little more personal and I have also included a few other places you can find me. I have only noted a few places but you could list as many or as little as you like. Or perhaps, you have a logo or email you want to have people see. Basically you have a whole piece of real estate on the side to do whatever you like!

Again, the same idea of promoting other sites or ventures Aaron Dommer is involved in.

Head over to your Twitter Profile and Test it Out!

This doesn’t take much time to do and it’s obviously worth the time. Now, if you haven’t already thought of it, I know that this isn’t a very trackable method of advertising or promoting your brand. I figure, this is just wasted space on your Twitter profile and why not put it up there right?

Best of luck my Twitter Friends!
