Twitter is truly an awesome place to make really cool friends. In this article I am going to show you how you can also use Twitter to gain quite a bit of relevant traffic to your blog. For those of you guys and gals who don’t know me, my name is Garry Conn. I run a small blog that teaches people how to make money online. You might or might not know me.

Anyway, we all know who Brilliant Jeni is and as we all know, she is very active on Twitter. In fact, it comes to no surprise that she hasn’t updated her blog since the middle of last month. With that said, I joined Twitter about six months ago. I thought it was pretty cool, and I made a few friends. I’ll admit, it really wasn’t all that much fun until I hooked up with Jeni and met a few of her friends.

I know that many of you guys and gals reading Jeni’s blog are twitter users so I figured that you’d probably enjoy reading this little tip on scoring traffic from Twitter. Again, Twitter has an array of purposes. Jeni has shown me that Twitter is quite useful for meeting really cool friends. With me on the other hand, it is also a place for recruiting new readers to your blog. Here is how I do it.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page on Twitter, you will see a navigation bar that looks like this:

One of the links in the navigation bar is called Search.

If you click that link, you’ll be taken to a new site that looks very much like the old Google home page:

What you might not know is that Twitter Search is just about as powerful as Google with finding things on Twitter. With that said, Twitter Search is an amazing way to find people that you KNOW will be interested in reading your blog.

The reason is simple. You know exactly what your blog is about. If your blog is about Nascar, you know that people who like Nascar will enjoy reading your blog. If your blog is about making money online with programs such as Google AdSense, then you know that people who like Google AdSense will enjoy reading my blog. Etc…

With Twitter Search, you have the power to find people based off the things that interest them. When people update and send tweets, Twitter keeps a record of everything you say and makes it completely 100% searchable. So, if you write a tweet about AdSense, it will show up on the Twitter AdSense SERP.

Because Twitter keeps a record of what everyone tweets and makes it searchable on their search engine, you can easily use their search engine to find people who have tweeted about things that you commonly write about on your blog.

In the above screen shot, you will see that Shelly213 wrote a tweet that provides a link to her blog where she talks about how to NOT get your AdSense account terminated. She sent this tweet only 17 minutes ago. I can easily reply to her Tweet and strike up a conversation with her. I can easily read her blog post, leave her a comment and then reply to her tweet and tell her “awesome job!” From there, I can almost guarantee you that Shelly213 will investigate me, and find my blog. From there, I will have a new blog reader.

So the long story short is this: While it may be difficult for you to score traffic right away from Google and other search engines, there are MANY ways you can totally FLOOD your blog with traffic. Such as the case with doing a simple search using Twitter.

I want to thank Jeni for giving me the opportunity to write this article for you. If you enjoyed reading my article, I invite you to visit my blog and subscribe to my mailing list.
