AC Twitter Challenge to Increase Exposure

Before the AC Twitter Challenge, I had little interest in tweeting but it really does increase exposure. My PVs have noticeably increased since tweeting and there is a possibility of winning a netbook, so I'm very glad I took on the AC Twitter Challenge. Five runners-up will receive his or her choice of a $100 gift certificate to ThinkGeek.com or a Laplearner Lap Deskunners.

I must admit, I became slightly addicted to Twitter at first. It was fun to explore this new world. After a bit of exploration, I worked on gaining followers by posting in forums on AC and following them as well. I also checked out some followers of those following me. Sounds a little like high school, popularity contest. Next, I created a bit.ly account to track my hits. I tweeted shortened bit.ly links along with the title of my article.

My results revealed tweeting does increase exposure. Although, I also attribute my rise in 'clout' to fellow AC Content Producers (CP's): those I've come across in the 'subscriber's forum' and reading, commenting, and following other AC CP's. Of course, I prefer AC over Twitter, I do appreciate the increased exposure tweeting has provided.

My current twitters stats to date (joined September : 50 following, 36 followers, and 58 tweets. The majority of my followers are AC CP's. I follow them and my favorite celebrities and authors. Almost all of my tweets are links and bit.ly links to my AC CP articles. I have gained 346 clicks by tweeting since September 29 and I posted the majority of my links October 5!! The clicks keep on coming from followers and people that search Twitter for content that interests them.
