There are also many other ways using which you can drive traffic using twitter. Here are some of the top ways using which you can get more more traffic via traffic.

Get to have atleast upto 100 followers : 


Yeah I told that its not necessary for you to have more followers. If you dont have more followers then you can implement the other steps mentioned below. Dont skip this. There are lots of ways to get lots of followers. The best one of that is to follow your fellow bloggers and they will surely follow you. But dont forget to follow people of same interest. If you are a tech blogger then it is no use if you have lots of followers who are politicians, actors or any other who is not a blogger ( I mean who do not have interest in technology). There are also a few other ways to get more followers. You can use services like twiends. Using twiends you can get thousands of followers within a day. But keep in mind to follow people of same interest.

Follow a few mentioned below :


There are a few people who use to add your links to their online papers if the post is really good. Most of these papers have a good alexa rank and so you get a backlink. Some of such are mentioned below :


Are you wondering how to find such guys. Its really a task to do. Follow the steps below to find such guys.

1. Open up your browser.

2. Navigate to this page.

3. Enter your blogs main topic in the search box.

4. Many results will turn up.

5. Click on one of the result and in the following page you will see many articles which will have the name of the publisher below each article. Click on that name.

6. Now you will be taken to a page where you can see all his details along with his Twitter profile URL. Click on the URL and follow him. That's it.

Following them is alone not enough :

Yeah following them alone is not enough. You have to make them alert about  your post. Until they follow you they cant see your tweet. But there are some other ways using which we can make them alert about it. So lets see on how to do it.

1. Make use of hash tags. This is very important. Such users will search for hash tags and add the best article to their paper. 

2. Is the number of characters not enough ? Then make about 3 to 4 tweets with a large number of has tags.

3. Mention them in your tweet. Mention each and every of such users so that atleast one may add your post to their paper.

4. Send a direct message to them. Send it to all of them

[TIP]  Use Tweet Guru to send a direct message to upto 12 twitter users at the same time.

Dont lose your followers :

Followers are also important in getting more traffic. Seeing your link there is also a chance for your followers to view it. So dont lose your followers. The ways you may lose your followers :

1. If your are not active on twitter.

Solution : Tweet often. Reply to all your mentions. Reply to DM messages that are not spams.

2. If you dont follow back your followers.

Solution : Follow back each and every of your follower.

The above are the two mass ways by which you may lose followers. And the solutions are also given. Following the solutions will surely reduce the number of users un-following you.

Blogger is really a good platform to blog and so many many famous bloggers are using blogspot as their blogging platform. When compared to wordpress blogger has less number of plugins. And also there is no option for installing plugins in blogspot. So each and every thing we do is add or edit the template using HTML and CSS. Adding share buttons are really easy in wordpress, they can be added by just adding the plugin Digg Digg which helps them to add share buttons under the posts or above the posts or even as floating. Adding share buttons in blogspot is not that much easy. We have to add codes to the template. It is easy for the users to add it. But its difficult for us developers to create it and this floating share buttons took me upto 1 hour to create it. I have created it for my own use but one of my friend Arun Sathiya (CEO @ webbuzz) asked me for the codes and so I decided to share it with you guys. So lets see on how to add it.

1. Login to your blogger account.

2. Navigate to Design > Page elements and a HTML / Java Script. Add the following codes to it.


<!-- floating page sharers Start | Cyber Freaks-->
<style type="text/css">
#pageshare {position:fixed; bottom:20%%; margin-left:-220px; float:left; border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;background-color:#fff;padding:0 0 2px 0;z-index:10;}
#pageshare .sbutton {float:left;clear:both;margin:5px 5px 0 5px;}
.fb_share_count_top {width:48px !important;}
.fb_share_count_top, .fb_share_count_inner {-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;}
.FBConnectButton_Small, .FBConnectButton_RTL_Small {width:49px !important; -moz-border-radius:3px;/*bs-fsmsb*/-webkit-border-radius:3px;}
.FBConnectButton_Small .FBConnectButton_Text {padding:2px 2px 3px !important;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;font-size:8px;}
</style>
<div id='pageshare'>
<div class='sbutton' id='fb'>
<a name="fb_share" type="box_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>
<div class='sbutton' id='rt'>
<script src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js" type='text/javascript'></script>
</div>
<div class='sbutton' id='su'>
<script src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5"></script>
</div>
<div class='sbutton' id='digg' style='margin-left:3px;width:48px'>
<script src='http://widgets.digg.com/buttons.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<a class="DiggThisButton DiggMedium"></a>
</div>
<div class='sbutton' id='gplusone'>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
<g:plusone size="tall"></g:plusone>
</div>

<div style="clear: both;font-size: 9px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://cyberfreax.blogspot.com/2011/08/blogger-is-really-good-platform-to-blog.html">Get widget</a></div><!-- Do not remove this link -->
</div>
<!-- floating page sharers End --> 


And save the HTML / Java Script widget and drag it and drop so that it is below the Blog Posts widget.


3. And now that you have added the share buttons to your blog which eventually float.

CUSTOMIZING FLOATING SHARE BUTTONS :

1. In some of your templates the share buttons may appear to the right most to in the center of the post. You can bring it to the correct position by changing the value of margin-left in line 3. The more you increase the value the more the share buttons will go to the left.

2. You can add more share buttons add the following code snippet


<div class='sbutton'>
BUTTON CODE HERE
</div>


Replace the Button Code Here with the code of your share button that you wanna make it appear. And add the above codes right after  
codes.
