The Twitter Impact: One Blogger’s Tale of Tweets

I’ve talked about my Twitter experiment in the past and my ideas of how to use Twitter as a comms tool. Today I did a quick take of my Google Analytics for this blog and wanted to share.


January 1st through March 28th = 805 unique visitors or 9.25/day

March 29th through April 25th = 354 unique visitors or 12.6/day


Now check out this graph showing that in the month of April 5.31% of my visitors came from Twitter.com. I have to infer that some of the increase in daily visitors can be directly related to expanding my audience using Twitter. But I also must acknowledge the role that Google plays in driving visitors to the site, and therefore the direct impact of good content that ranks high with keywords.

The reason I bring this up is that today I’m having a conversation with a client concerning a new blog initiative they are undertaking. It is a very exciting program because this company’s CEO has some really fantastic opinions and thoughts. For the meeting I put together a “Blogging 101″ deck that I’m going to use, including a Top Ten Tips. After we share it with the client I will share it here for your thoughts.
