Comments on: Twitter Losing 60 Percent of Visitors Per Month? http://www.kikabink.com/news/twitter-losing-60-percent-of-visitors-per-month/ Internet Marketing News, Comment, Research, Tips and More Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:26:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anna Johnson http://www.kikabink.com/news/twitter-losing-60-percent-of-visitors-per-month/comment-page-1/#comment-4086 Anna Johnson Mon, 04 May 2009 07:24:10 +0000 http://www.kikabink.com/news/?p=1202#comment-4086 HI Guido, I think Twitter can be useful for marketers in a number of ways. For instance, to tap into what people are talking about - including competitors, customers and prospects, or just to get some ideas about a potential niche market to go into. It can also be useful to set up a specific Twitter account for the purpose of providing de facto customer support or notifications. And, as a user, it can be useful to follow particular individuals that provide valuable information and updates. And there are numerous other uses too. BUT... I see a LOT of people jumping onto Twitter, following everyone under the sun (in order to get followed back) and I really question whether they know what they're doing or are really getting a lot out of it. Plus, due to Twitter still evolving, many of us are still working out how we intend to make the best use of it. Nothing wrong with staying on the sidelines to see how it can fit into your existing marketing strategy... if it does at all. And I also believe that it's better not to get involved if it ends up distracting you from activities that are much conducive to building a successful business :) HI Guido, I think Twitter can be useful for marketers in a number of ways.

Question is, what exactly is the benefit of using Twitter ? It took me a long time and finally I opened last week 2 accounts, just to test the waters. My judgement is that Twitter is \"toy\" for people which have spare time, just as social sites like MySpace or Orkut. It\'s correct that IM\'s can build some income streams on those medias, but I do believe that the traffic you get from Twitter is similar in quality then from Bookmarking sources. And I\'m only after QUALITY traffic today in time. The only valid traffic IMO is from a account with a brand name, such as John Reese, Frank Kern or others. If you are a no name in this business I doubt very much that the time you spend at Twitter brings you the return you deserve. For me, It\' silly to \"sneak\" behind people. But just as \"Big Brother\" those kind of things attract a lot of attention at the beginning, but then drop as fast as it did grow. Just MHO, ready to get slapped if I\'m telling some bull here :-) G. Yeah Anna, this might be the truth.

I don't think people who are new to twitter realize at first what the site can do for them. Give it some time and we'll see what happens.
