Let me start off by saying that I hate online marketing if it involves Social Networks.

Why?

Because most networks require a lot of face time, being there in person to read and respond to other peoples posts. If you have a dozen or more websites in separate niches it becomes almost impossible to keep up with all of the different discussions, never mind staying on top of the best ways to optimize traffic back to your website without running afoul of the terms of service for each of a multitude of social networking sites. Throw in time spent on email and forums that you are really interested in and you may as well live in front of the computer.

What works for Facebook doesn't necessarily work for MySpace or YouTube. And then they might go ahead and change the Terms of Service anyway so what you knew is no longer relevant anyway if you aren't on top of any one social networking site.

So thats why I like Twitter.

There are Three tools that I highly recommend for ultimate Twitter marketing. (I also highly recommend this Hubpage on Twitter for background reading.)

Even if you just use the first tool for your blog you will see an increase in traffic with no effort.

#1 Lazy Twitter Tool

TwitterFeeder.com – an amazing tool if you have a blog. Simply add your RSS feed and connect to your account and you are done. TwitterFeeder automatically adds your posts, with a link back to your website, to your Twitter account. Within a single day I started noticing traffic from Twitter, and this was for a brand new account without a single follower!

So once I saw a success from my brand new Twitter account I had to make it better, but keep the effort level low. Basically I needed more followers.

#2 Lazy Twitter Tool

TweepSearch.com – once you have found a few Twit's with a lot of followers in your market niche you can go to this site and enter their Twitter username to get a complete list of their followers. Then it is a simple matter of adding a few relevant ones every few days to follow more people and thus build a greater opportunity for being followed.

But once you are following all of those people how do you keep track of who is following you back and who isn't?

#3 Lazy Twitter Tool

ReFollow.com – A great automated tool for managing your Twitter friends, with various filters to see who is following you, who you are following and which people you need to drop.

At this point the minimal amount of effort is getting to be too much for me and I give up.

I let TwitterFeeder run off of my blog posts, add people I am following once a week, and once a month I manage the whole mess with ReFollow.

And my Twitter traffic has increased by leaps and bounds and so have my Search Engine Rankings with all of that Automated Link Building from those Twitter posts with the links included.

The above screen shot is from a single website with an awful domain name.

No Keywords in the domain name, no history, no inbound links.

And yet less than two months of letting it sit, it is seeing 600 unique visitors a month.

Why?

I didn't even put any effort into this site, there was no link building involved, no content creation. Search engine traffic for the entire time this site has been up is less than 20 visitors.

ALL of the rest of the traffic came from Twitter, and that was using only the first Lazy Twitter Marketing Secret! None of the others were used.

This site still has less than 40 followers! And yet look at the traffic!

And now to make this method even better...

There are whole new steps one can take to increase the amount of traffic any site sees, and it is all automated.

Look for the new HubPages Report coming soon on the expanded Lazy Twitter Marketing Secret.
