Lately I am noticing a trend where it relates to the “Tweeted” Twitter content affects on a Blog. Recently I decided to Tweet various content types as they relate to Rageburner. Since the concept of Rageburner covers several topics I wanted to supplement Blog content with articles on Twitter via links or “tweets”. By supplement I mean distribute content on Twitter that could potentially have been promoted as an article on Rageburner.

It worked by increasing Twitter followers but not site traffic on Rageburner. Sure new followers visit Rageburner, but do they come back consistently to see what Today’s “Rant or Rage” might be? Rageburner’s presence on Twitter far exceeds its Blog readers which leads us to question the priority of each. Do you tweet to increase followers or promote a Blog on Twitter to increase subscribers?

At one point I heavily promoted Rageburner content on Twitter and received alot of negative email and DM responses. Rightfully so I felt it became a self promotion rather than social focus. Twitter is about sharing, assisting others and building relationships. Therefore I only publish a couple Rageburner articles daily and tweet content received daily by Rageburner subscribers.

The result showed that relationships and connections on Twitter far exceed your blog’s need for promotion. Staying current and focused on your Twitter content provides one of many legs for blog traffic but should not be considered its primary source. If an author or subscriber disagrees, please provide data or comment otherwise.
