Twitter is a powerful internet marketing tool.
But you must get your reputation up 1st in twitter before you could really get the advantages. Just imagine if you have 1 thousand followers who are really interested in what your are doing. They would bring traffic and sales to your site. Also all of their followers would see any retweets you do. This will expose your profile to them. It will get you more exposure for your business.

Well it doesn't seem to be working for me... I've had 10 hits from Twitter, out of 1000+ followers.

I don't know what you're using for stats, but if you're using Google Analytics, it doesn't show all of the traffic coming from Twitter. Not sure why. But the point is, it might be giving you more hits than you know about.

Yeah that's what I'm using. It's not showing much traffic at all. Glitch maybe?

If so, is my site that bad?

People will follow you on twitter naturally as your site becomes bigger. Digg its best to find a power user to submit your blog posts for you but the posts need to be very good to make it to the front page which can get you a ton of traffic.

Well I have nothing to blog about, so that's out.

What does the size and amount of traffic to my site have to do with Twitter? I need targeted traffic, people going to the site that are looking for a web host.

I've been using twitter for a month and I am really happy with the traffic it brings to my site, not only to my site but also other sites that I am mentioning on my twits, here are some good tips to start with..

Create a bio of your self, put up information about yourself but most important in creating a bio is adding up your profession or things that interest you, this will make it easier for other twitter users to search for you..

I don't really agree with following other people and hoping they will follow you back, these are strategies of a spammer, so if you really wanted to gain twitter followers build your reputation around the net, there are lots of ways such as creating blog post with interesting concepts, or you may also gain friends from other social networking sites such as facebook, myspace even in forums if you want to..

in twitter you only had few letters so give it your best shot, hard advertising will just get you deleted from some of your followers, so it is best to come up with a nice twit something that will catches the attention of your followers with just a glance, yes you only had minutes to acquire their attention..

the last is be friendly, twitter is not mainly for business so it is advisable to build a healthy and lively communication with other people out there.

What is an example of something to tweet about? I've been asking this through the whole thread and haven't gotten help there yet.

Yes there really is an advantage and help from twitter. Although I think there's a limit as to how many you could follow there.

Usually highly important things such as:

"I'm having toast for my breakfast."

"I'm at work writing this."

"My budgerigar is blue."

"It's wednesday and I'm bored."

"I'll be going out later."

etc etc
