That's just searching people I'm already following, or who are following me.

Actually, it's not. It's searching all Twitter users.

All I'm seeing is a one page list of people I'm following. Nothing more.

you can add friends on your digg and stumbleupon. make a comment on their post and they will return the favor.

Well I signed the company up for a Linkedin page. How do I get started there to drive traffic?

I don't know why Twitter search isn't working for you. That's very strange.

But anyway, on LinkedIn I would suggest completely filling out your profile, finding anyone you already know, and then joining some relevant groups. Get involved in the groups' discussions.

I've gotten like six hits from Twitter. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe just follow me and find out? Not sure. The link is http://twitter.com/bfhosting

Is there like a Twitter marketing for morons site/tutorial? Or can someone help me? It's just not working.

If you want to use Twitter for marketing, then you must start by posting links to your good blog posts. Follow someone who is also in the same field. Try to follow those who follow him/her too. Just don't overdo the following thing.
Good Luck!

Lol no, no you aren't We need something like that on here. I would write it, if I knew enough about it.

Mods: I can write tutorials if you need them, just message me.

If you have twitter account that is more useful, You can get some short summary and update in your twitter with your link, that will drive you more traffic to you, but you have to make sure that you are having more followers for you and if most of your followers are your target auidence, that is awesome, you will get more clicks.

I usually just say things like "this is what the internet can do for your business" followed by the coupon code, and my company's site URL. Will that work? Hasn't yet...

The problem with this is that it sounds too much like advertising. Try to sound more genuine, like you were talking to a friend. And still make it catchy if you can.

Hm, any general examples? I have writers block.

Any other help? Examples of what to post on Twitter?

Thanks for the tip forestmarie, I have just started using twitter and Im looking for ways to get followers

I'm still not getting the idea of what to do here. What kind of things should I be Tweeting about on Twitter?

Make some friends and update them as often as you want in order to establish relationship with them, it can help you.
