This month I'm focusing on analyzing what Twitter is doing for my blogs. All of my blog feeds go through TwitFeed automatically each time they are updated which is something I recommend doing. At the very least your feed is getting out to your Twitter followers giving you a chance at a retweet so getting your feed out to more people. I also added Twitter feed widgets to all of my blogs so readers can click on one of my tweets if they are interested. This adds a greater degree of interaction between my blogs. I'm active on Twitter posting more than just links to my blogs so occasionally will choose one of my blogs to highlight and post a maximum of 5 links to that blog. This approach does appear to be effective but not necessarily high traffic generating. It is very much a targeted approach so out of my followers if I get a click or two I'm happy.
One thing I have really noticed about Twitter is cleaning the stream is quite important. When I first joined Twitter I would follow anyone who followed me and I no longer think that is a good policy because often what happens is they get the follow then immediately unfollow. Another problem is some in the Twitter stream especially in the early days are there simply to spam. I find taking a few minutes to clean up my stream from time to time gets better results with a greater likelihood of followers clicking on my links because I click on theirs.
