We all try out different marketing techniques to allow our articles to reach to a wider range of audience. Adding a “tweet this” button along with your post is one of them. Twitting an article has become quite easy nowadays using WordPress Plugins.
I feel that adding a “Tweet this” button along with your post is one of the most effective ways to market your blog and articles. Here, I will tell you how this method can Boost your site traffic and what are the best WordPress Plugins that helps you to use this functionality?
How Adding a “Tweet this” Button Helps in Increasing your Page Views?
- It will be very easy for your readers to share your article with others using this button.
- It’s always more convenient than copying your page URL, titles and then sharing it with others.
- It helps you to track the visitors who ReTweet your posts and bond with them.
- You can easily know when somebody tweets your article. “@yourusername” in your twitter profile lets you know when your post is ReTweeted.
- Most importantly, more ReTweets you have for your post, more traffic you get for that post.
Top 4 WordPress Twitter Plugins
1. Tweet Meme – This is a very effective and simple plugin that allows you to add a “Retweet” button alongside your post. It also shows the number of Tweets that a particular post has received with Integration with TweetMeme Analytics. A higher number of retweets shows a higher popularity of your post among twitter users. It has got a quicker loading times for the buttons. It also allows you to change the source which you retweet, E.g. “RT @yourname “.
2. Twitter ReTweet – This plugin allows you to put up a ReTweet button below your post which helps a reader to directly Tweet your post. If you’d like to track a campaign using Google Analytic’s Campaign Tracking feature, this gives you the ability to add the necessary query to the end of the URL. You can then use a URL shortening service (TinyURL.com) so that the link is an appropriate size for micro-blogging.
3. Simple Twitter Link – Simple Twitter Link displays a link allowing Twitter users to update their status with a link back to your post or page. It simply returns a URL – this URL is a link to Twitter with your post/page URL within it. It even uses TinyURL to make the link passed to Twitter even more convenient. The code for Simple Twitter Link should be added to the bottom of appropriate post/page templates within your theme
4. Tweet This – Adds a “Tweet This Post” link to every post and page. Shortens URLs. It can automatically tweet new and scheduled blog posts with customizable (check screenshots). It also includes: Plurk, Yahoo Buzz, Delicious, Digg, Facebook, MySpace, Ping.fm, Reddit, and StumbleUpon support. This plugin fetches a shortened URL from a URL shortening service of your choice for each of your blog posts’ permalinks server-side, then displays a link to Twitter for each post, with an optional icon.
