I Dont Twitter I Wont Twitter V 2.0

February 23, 2010

Back in May of 2008 I wrote the first version of I Don’t Twitter I Won’t Twitter. I did not have a complete understanding of Twitter at that time. So I am glad that the blog was new and that I didn’t have any traffic. I had compared Twitter to texting. This wasn’t to far off, but I had never used the service and I was just guessing. I wanted new content and I failed to do proper research.

I have since gotten on and off the twitter bandwagon. I still have an account but I may not have used t this year. I still get announcements that new people are following me which I find funny since I rarely post to Twitter. If I want to reach people that I actually know I will use FaceBook. I only accept friends requests from those that I actually know.

I used to follow Andy Bailey the creator of the Comment Luv plugin. But I got bored getting his updates about his residential moving experiences and his personal life. I used to follow other known and not so known SEO’ers. But I stopped that as well. They were all just providing links to useless information. And I certainly do not care what you had for lunch. This position makes me an outcast in the SEO community and that’s OK with me.

I did a 3 month trial to see if I could benefit from Twitter. I would list daily blog post links. Then I checked Google Analytics. I discovered that Twitter traffic bounced 100% of the time. I also never had anyone leave a comment that said they saw me on twitter. So for me the ROI was just not there.

However, I wrote an article sometime ago about Dell using Twitter. Over a three year period Dell posted coupons on Twitter and they claimed to have made 3 Million in sales this way. So I discovered if your business uses coupons or offers changing entertainment it is wise to use Twitter. It seems to work very well for night clubs. Outside of a few industries I really think Twitter is a waste of time.

However, as you may have noticed it can be a great tool for social change as we have witnessed in Iran. I think the news updates on cable that use Twitter updates are mostly amusing. Without following CNN on Twitter I have no way of knowing how representative these updates really are. Some one makes the decision on what they air. Thus these Twitter updates on news programs may only reflect the producers bias and I not going to jump on Twitter to verify it myself.

Since Twitter offers almost no SEO value except for the profile links it is useless for me.

If you have found a way to make money on Twitter I surely would like to hear about it.
