Hi, I don't remember seeing you here before. If you're new here, welcome. If you despise the hype on the net as much as me & like a laugh, keep up to date with my latest posts by subscribing to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! The Anti Hype
I love Wordpress because it is so simple to create a site that looks good and can be easily updated. But even more I love the massive range of plugins and widgets that are available that make using Wordpress easier or help with everything from backing up to search engine optimisation. Yes, I’m a widget junkie!
I’ve been experimenting with Twitter although I openly admit to being a little sceptical since I personally take little notice of other people’s Twits - most seem to be promoting something or telling me they’re making a cup of coffee!
But today, Mark at Healthy Foods brought something to my attention that really caught my imagination.
This brand new plugin (like most Wordpress addons it’s free) has really opened my eyes to how Twitter can be a real traffic generator. There is an upsell to be fair, which actually is really exciting, but I’ve not gone for it yet. My Homer tendencies had me reaching for the credit card but I’ve got too much else going on right now.
What’s unusual about this plugin is that is does several things. The main part being it should really increase the traffic to your sites due to the viral nature of what it does.
Firstly it automatically posts to Twitter immediately you post to your blog. One job saved.
Secondly, there is a widget that goes on your own blog that immediately shows your latest Twits. Visitors at your site are likely to look at your list of Twits and, if your worth following, will start to follow you.
Thirdly, there’s the upsell. If anyone decides to download the plugin and buy the upsell then you get a share of the commission.
So by simply using a plugin to potentially generate more traffic you could also make some commissions without doing any more promoting at all.
I’ve decided to try to enhance this traffic experiment a little further and you may like to give this a go too.
Anyone posting a comment on Guru-Fodder (at any time) or showing up in my Recent Visitors box will, as always, be visited by me.
What I’ll now do, however, is Twit those blogs / websites so they will get exposure to my followers and perhaps my followers, followers. In addition, the link to those blogs will also show up in My Twitter Feeds on this blog.
So, for a simple comment here you will get two links - one from Twitter and the other from this blog.
Will that lead to more traffic? I can’t answer that but I can tell you - there’ll be no traffic from here if you don’t give it a go since no one will know you’ve visited!

Hi Maggie, good to hear from you. Glad you're finding the posts of use. I need to get an update from Homer - he's conspicuous by his absence lately!
