Twitter has grown in popularity almost exponentially since its arrival on the web. It’s very important to have many followers on Twitter since it will provide you with lots of free traffic. You may be wondering just exactly how you get followers. Of course, the first and obvious step is to begin communicating with other twitter users. This can be as simple as conversing about a website that is beneficial to you, a blog that interested you, or any current events.
Ben has almost 6,000 Twitter followers and all that following has provided Pei Profit with lots of extra traffic. I have started a new Twitter account to see how long it will take me to get to 5,000 followers.
The account was started on May 1st, 2009. As of right now it already has 1,411 followers and I am following 2,002 people.
Of course, following random people and getting follow back is not the best way of gaining new followers since they are all random and many may not be intereseted in your blog or service for example. To follow so many people and get so many followers in such a short period of time with almost ZERO work, I used TweepMe.com It’s a service that makes you follow all the current members and in return, they automatically follow you. There are already over 4,700 members on the site. Of course, you can always unfollow whoever you want later.
I will next try Viral Follwers to see how well it works.

It still amazes me how much Twitter has grown. There’s so many new applications that keep coming out for it as well. The fact that they’re working on real-time search integrated into Twitter really says a lot about its future.

How many visitors would you say you get from your 6000 followers–say if you were to tweet about a recent post?

I would say between 150 and 200 people would click on the link, but it all depends on your followers. If they are interested in your blog, then they will almost always check out your new post, if they aren’t, they won’t even bother with it. But also, twitter helps you get your blog seen by many others that haven’t seen it yet, and maybe you will have more readers interested.
Remember to also retweet your recent as well as older posts.

No, Ben and I, Lukasz, are partners now since Ben is busy with his trip to Japan and starting another affiliate marketing blog.

Echoing Melody’s point, it would be interesting to see how much traffic the site gets from Tweets vs. other methods. I have only seen a small % of traffic (under 10%) come from Twitter.

I dont like the way of bulk follow and get followed. The reason is there are very less chances of getting targetted followers and as a result there are very less targeted visitors to your site. The best way I belive is update more and more I am sure this will help you.

You are right, I did mention that in the post but it is one way to get exposure. I think it’s still better than nothing.

Hi Ben,
I will chek it out that site Tweepme.com. It looks about the same as TwitterFollower.com the site from John Chow. Is it different than Chow´s site?

Yes, it works pretty much the same way as tweepme.com Except it looks like it’s free. I don’t know which site has more members though.

I have been reading about Twitter a lot, but I have a problem. I have many websites in different niches and I just can’t find a way to promote all of them in one account. Should I open more accounts(one for each niche)?
