Brendan,

Yeah i've been using it since september last year...getting a good number of followers, tweet a lot with hootsuite so i can pre-set everything.

Getting clicks and traffic moving to sites that i want however with current data i still am not yet convinced i'm bringing in quality leads though?

We've used Twitter on past projects and mainly had success building back links from it as part of an SEO strategy.

Google does seem to really like Twitter at the moment, their page rank is epic. I do though remain unconvinced of it's ability to bring in tangible leads. I suspect a lot of it comes down to what you wish to market through the channel and does it fit well into a tweet that will be picked up by others.

yeh very true...

Google certainly likes twitter for sure, even from my brief experience..

I'm using it for Silk Interiors. I uploaded a new article to our website last night, added it to Twitter and now this morning I've received an email alert from Google letting me know there's a new article online. So I agree with the sentiment that Google likes twitter.

We remain unconvinced that Twitter has longevity. Doesn't stop us trying from trying to make it work for us ... http://twitter.com/businessswitch

Thanks Silk. Not sure how useful it is but thanks anyway. We have just added a new quote today. For those who can't be bothered clicking through it is:

I think Twitter is a long term strategy. You need lots of followers for it to be worthwhile but you won't have lots of followers until you start posting and post regular useful content.

eg. you may post a regular quote but also post weekly specials you are having. Maybe they are Twitter only specials. People now have a reason to follow you. Then you can post other things like when new products come in etc.
