Default Using twitter to drive traffic to your blog?

I recently set up an account on twitter. After only a few days I've managed to get over 500 followers. I updated my blog today and got 30 hits that came from my twitter profile.

I will, but be warned that this could possibly get your account suspended.

My topic of my blog is poker, so I wanted to get followers who would be interested in poker. I searched 'poker' in find people. I found poker site accounts with large followings and clicked on them. You can view all of their followers. I just started following all the sites followers. With in minutes I was getting people following me back, quite often very pleased that I was following them. I did this for a bit and now have a little bit over 400. I've been exchanging @replies with a few of them to try and establish some kind of quality relationships. My blog is still very new, so I'm happy to get any traffic that I can, and right now most of that is coming from twitter and facebook.

I have been using Twitter like crazy over the passed few days and have noticed a huge improvement in website traffic from old members too which is cool! I woudl say it's a must use!

I shoudl have listened to bloggeries before and used it much earlier!

I have used twittermass.com to set up keywords and auto follow people. I have got 200 new people in last 3 days. I also make sure people have follower/following ratio 1:1 or nearby to ensure I get followed back!

I followed mostly people in my niche and this sends good traffic. I got 57 hits just yesterday. I have compiled a small (7 page) report on my methods for getting followers and I will release it soon! (Although, I will be giving it away with newsletter subscription!)

Is there anyway to take advantage of Twitter if my blog is a personal one or will this method to boost traffic generally work only for niche blogs?

I'm sure that if you have a large following on twitter, you can drive traffic to your blog. The thing that makes it work so well when you have a niche blog is that you can target people who are interested in your topic.

Im not sure what your blog is about other than it's personal, but I'd try to get followers who are interested in the same things as you.

Yup, its a great way to get traffic to your site if you and your followers are in the same niche. You can surely get good amount of traffic from it..

I've been using Twitter to promote my blog for ages. I have now installed the Wordpress plug-in for Twitter - "Twitter Tools" which allows you to automatically send a message that you've written a new blog post at the same time as publishing said post.
